* RomanceOnTheSet: The most noticeable example is between Rossif Sutherland (Nostredame) and Celina Siden (Greer) who fell in love got married having a son together.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The pilot episode became notorious for a scene that involved a supporting female character and ADateWithRosiePalms. The scene in question was edited down by The CW prior to broadcast to be less explicit, to much media controversy. When the time came to release Season 1 on DVD, although an "online version" of a later episode - featuring a more explicit sex scene than broadcast - was included, the original version of the pilot wasn't released. Nor was it included in the later "complete series" edition, and there is no indication that any international broadcast featured the uncut episode. However, as noted by reviewers, the version of the pilot circulated to media ''did'' contain the complete scene, so copies of the original episode are in limited circulation.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Many fans are quite disparaging towards Lord Castleroy and Lord Narcisse, calling them "old men". Michael Therriault is 41 (39 in his first appearance), and Craig Parker is 44 (43 in his first appearance). However, this may be more due to the skewed age perspectives of the mostly teenaged audience than anything

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Greer's pregnancy was written because of Celina Siden's own pregnancy.

* ActorAllusion: When Narcisse offers to teach Lola archery, actress Anna Popplewell doesn't even ''pretend'' to not know exactly what she's doing with a bow, leaving us with a scene in which [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Haldir]] tries to give [[Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Queen Susan the Gentle]] some tips.
