* EnforcedMethodActing: Sam Jaeger, who plays Mark Tuello, did this to himself. When preparing for the role, he only watched episodes of the series that put Serena Joy Waterford in a good light. As Jaeger himself put it, Mark Tuello is supposed to be attracted to Serena Joy's good side. Prior to the scene where Mark arrests Serena, he would watch all of the episodes with Serena Joy along with all the abuses she heaped on June, and his disgust in Serena's character is obvious when Mark proceeds to make the arrest.
