* {{Hunk}}: Alexis notices just how hunky Ted has become after he returns from their honeymoon, which he took solo after she dumped him, having worked out the entire time. He rides into the scene on a motorcycle and we're treated to a nice shot of his ass as he straddles it in tight jeans. [[EatingTheEyeCandy Alexis is very appreciative]].

Added DiffLines:

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Played for laughs, as Alexis has a habit of bringing up ''absurdly'' horrific experiences as if they're nothing out of the ordinary, like escaping from the trunk of a Russian mob boss's car, or spending days freeing herself and her friends from the compound of a Saudi prince.

Shes Got Legs is currently a disambiguation


* ShesGotLegs: Catherine O'Hara is in amazing shape for ''any'' age, and it's safe to say that none of the other town council members were prepared for Moira to turn up for her first day in office wearing an above-the-knee skirt and lace tights. Roland isn't even the only one staring; he's just the only one not trying to be somewhat discreet about it.



* ShesGotLegs: Alexis has long, beautiful legs that she shows off via her short skirts, short shorts, and mini dresses.

* AlcoholInducedBisexuality: During a housewarming party, he gets very drunk during a game of Spin the Bottle. On Ted's turn, the bottle lands on David, and Ted immediately goes for a longer-than-average kiss that he ''clearly'' enjoys. It's his only sign of being interested in guys, and it's not clear how much the booze has to do with it.

Hollywood Nerd is now a disambiguation page. Examples that don't fit the tropes listed on the disambig will be removed.


* HollywoodNerd: He's objectively a gorgeous human being, but he is played quite nerdy in the first season. Mutt even tells Alexis that back in high school he used to shove Ted into the lockers all the time because Ted always said hi to him.

* WhoWearsShortShorts: Alexis likes to show off her legs, including in short shorts. She wears a pair when Mutt gives her a bike and she cuts off a pair of scrubs to make them short shorts.
