* AlphaBitch: Donna.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Dorrit to Carrie.
* AsianAndNerdy: Mouse
* TheBeard: Walt with Maggie. Though, this may be unintentional, as he seems to be in denial that he's gay.

* BigSisterInstinct: Carrie to Dorrit.
* TheBrainlessBeauty: Maggie

* DeadpanSnarker: Tom Bradshaw when talking to Harlan
* DrowningOurRomanticSorrows: Sebastion and Maggie during the season finale.
* EmoTeen: Dorrit. In her defense, she did just lose her mother and her father is....less than attentive to her needs.
* TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest: And the second. Poor Maggie; dumped twice by the same guy.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Carrie has already realized that she cannot cook by the end of the thanksgiving episode and has had her first Cosmopolitan and received her first pair of Manolo Blahniks in 'Hush Hush'.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Between Carrie and Dorrit.
* GrandRomanticGesture: Sebastion spends most of Hush Hush trying to do this for Carrie.

* TookALevelInJerkass: George in "Caught".

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Carrie must look older than she is, because it took Larissa 8 episodes before she found out that Carrie was 16. And she still had to be told.
** Granted, Larissa seems to be some sort of intoxicated a majority of the time so how much she notices is a bit spotty.
