Show generally

Factual error: On 4/5/07, Chad had a flashback to when he met Vincent at a gay bar, over a year earlier. The song playing in the bar was Pink's "U + Ur Hand," which came from a CD that wasn't released until months after the scene took place. That particular song wasn't released as a single until about an additional year later.

Revealing mistake: On 2/20/07, when Simone first approached Rae's dead body in the casket, the rise and fall of Rae's chest and stomach, due to the actress' breathing, was quite visible.

Revealing mistake: On 1/11/07, Fancy turned off the light in her bedroom after Luis left to talk to Sam. Right after she did that, the offstage set lighting could be seen to become brighter so the scene would still be lit.

Plot hole: When J.T. Cornell's dead body fell out of the wedding cake on 12/28/06, Rebecca fell all over him, lamenting loudly to everyone about how much she loved him, how much he meant to her, and how amazing the sex was. (She was really just looking for his flash drive.) However, Rebecca and Gwen had spent the entire fall trying to prevent Ethan from catching Rebecca and J.T. together, because Ethan was convinced that if Rebecca and J.T. knew each other, then it would mean Rebecca and Gwen were lying about the tabloid, which they were. So Rebecca's behavior should have been a huge tipoff to Ethan, but instead he had no reaction at all to this.

Continuity mistake: Early in 2006, when she was planning to become a nun, Whitney whipped herself on the back to punish herself for her sins, injuring herself badly. In December of that year, she got married and wore a gown that revealed much of her back, but there were no scars at all.

Continuity mistake: On 7/19/06, Tabitha told Endora that Siren's aphrodesiac stew was more powerful than her own lust potion. On 7/21/06, Tabitha told Siren that the lust potion was ten times as powerful as the stew.

Passions (1999)

Show generally

Factual error: In the spring of 2006, Whitney traveled from Harmony to Rome, and we are left to assume that she flew. After Whitney had arrived in Rome, Chad and Simone found out and went to Rome to find her. Paloma and Jessica accompanied Simone. After Paloma arrived in Rome and got into some trouble, Theresa and Ethan found out about it and went to Rome as well. So there were three consecutive trips from Harmony to Rome, and they all happened during the same night; Whitney left after dark, and Theresa and Ethan arrived in Rome the following morning. But each flight to Rome should take six hours, and there is a six hour time difference, which adds up to a full twenty-four hours. So nobody who left Harmony at night could have arrived in Rome before morning. And Theresa and Ethan should have arrived in Rome after dark on the second day, not first thing in the morning.

Factual error: On 5/18/06, it was simultaneously breakfast time in Rome, Italy, and in Harmony, Maine. But since Rome time is six hours later than Harmony time, this is impossible. Breakfast time in Harmony is lunch time in Rome, and breakfast time in Rome is the middle of the night in Harmony.

Continuity mistake: On 9/27/99, in LA, Henry gives Chad a newspaper that was left in his family's apartment when Chad was abandoned at age eight. It is a Harmony Herald. Then we see Theresa and Whitney walking in front of a Harmony Herald newspaper box in Harmony, and the paper is identical to the one that Chad's family left behind about a decade earlier.

Plot hole: In April of 2006, Whitney disappeared from the convent very late at night. Later that same night, it was discovered that she was in Rome. But we never saw her get on a plane - only walking through catacombs with the monk the whole time - and even if she did get on a plane, there hadn't been nearly enough time for her to get to Rome.

Continuity mistake: On 8/30/99, Tabitha talked to Timmy about how strong her powers were when she terrified Grace "that night." But the incident she is talking about, to which we also get a flashback, happened during daylight hours, earlier the same day.

Show generally

Continuity mistake: On 3/17/06, Sam and Ivy had a conversation about Kay that was largely at odds with previous events and information from the show. In particular, they talk about how Kay pursued Miguel from a very early age. However, when the show began in 1999, Kay and Simone were in high school and their dialogue established in the very first episode that Kay had only very recently developed a romantic interest in Miguel. Furthermore, most of Harmony, including Sam and Miguel himself, didn't learn of Kay's interest until several years after that.

Plot hole: In the early months of the series, in the summer of 1999, Father Lonigan met many times with his longtime parishioner Grace Bennett, and a woman named Faith Standish who made several visits to town. Grace and Faith were identical twins who had been separated years earlier. Father Lonigan is blind, and usually recognizes his parishioners by their voices, yet he never noticed that Faith had Grace's exact voice.

Show generally

Character mistake: On 3/10/06, Endora sneezed and Tabitha said "Bless you." Since Tabitha is a witch, and holy water and crosses burn her skin, and she can't enter a church, and any time Edna used to mention angels it caused Tabitha's entire house to shake, it should definitely be impossible for Tabitha to say "Bless you." The little girl sneezing was probably unscripted, and "Bless you" was the natural response of actress Juliet Mills.

Continuity mistake: On 3/16/06, Whitney leaves the convent in the night to take a walk, and ends up at Chad's recording studio. But when Whitney first went to the convent, it was far enough away from Harmony that Theresa had to drive her there.

Continuity mistake: When the show started in July of 1999, Gwen Hotchkiss and Sheridan Crane barely knew each other. When Gwen and Ethan were on the beach in Harmony, Gwen asked Ethan many questions about Sheridan. Later, when Gwen and Sheridan met in Paris, Sheridan asked Gwen a lot about her relationship with Ethan. Both exchanges made it clear that Gwen and Sheridan were not well acquainted. However, years later, Gwen and Sheridan often spoke about having been lifelong friends, even though they had only known each other for a few years.

Continuity mistake: In July of 1999, Luis tried to convince Pilar to divorce Martin or have him declared dead, so that she could remove his name from the deed on their house in order to refinance. However, later flashbacks showed that the Lopez-Fitzgerald family lived in a cottage on the Crane grounds at the time of Martin's disappearance, which means that Martin's name wouldn't be on the deed of the house the family later moved into.

Continuity mistake: In July of 1999, in talking about Martin's disappearance, Pilar said that he left for work one morning, but never showed up there or at home ever again. However, flashbacks years later showed that Martin left Harmony with Katherine in the evening, after the Founder's Day dance that he attended with Pilar.

Continuity mistake: On 1/23/05, Theresa told Ethan that Gwen had a CD proving that she had lied to him, but destroyed it before Theresa could use it against her. However, the proof that Gwen destroyed in Theresa's presence was not a CD, but rather a floppy disk.

Plot hole: On 1/3/06, after the smoky downdraft drove everyone from the living room, characters became separated from each other and spent several scenes trying to find one another. Shortly after everyone reunited into small groups, they received text messages on their cell phones, causing them to return to the living room. But if all these people had their cell phones on them, why didn't anybody try calling their loved ones instead of wandering around aimlessly?
