Plot hole: On 1/3/06, after a downdraft drove smoke into the living room, Julian successfully used the control panel to unseal the room. The only door that was actually shown to have opened was an opening onto an outside patio. Since the room was full of smoke, the outside exit would have been by far the most attractive option. Yet, for some reason, everyone scattered in different directions, mostly further into the house.

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: On 11/22/05, Pilar and Martin learned that their daughter Paloma has been smuggling drugs. They are at the police station when Paloma admits this to them in the late evening. The next time we see them, on 11/25/05, it is morning of the next day, but her parents are only just recating to her statement as if no time had passed, instead of some twelve hours.

Continuity mistake: On 9/15/05, Ethan referred to Grace Nancier's plea offer as three fifteen year sentences, "served concurrently." But the offer was for sentences served consecutively, which is a big difference.

Other mistake: On 9/13/05, Theresa tried to reach into the furnace to retrieve the disks that Gwen destroyed. With one hand in the fire, she used her other hand to brace herself against the furnace door while Pilar tried to pull her away. After Pilar succeeded, Theresa's arm that had been in the furnace was badly burned. However, the hand that had been gripping the door of the furnace, which should also have been infernally hot, was unharmed.

Passions (1999)
Stupidity: On 9/12/05, during Eve's trial, her sister Liz stood up in the courtroom and began a diatribe in which she discussed subject matter relevant to the trial. Ethan then told Eve that this had harmed her chances. Why, then, didn't Ethan ask for a mistrial? A prolonged outburst like that is a classic example of something that would precipitate a mistrial.

Revealing mistake: On 9/6/05, Fancy told Alistair that she wanted to go to Paris, but he forbade it. She then complained that she gets bored staying in one place to long, to which he responded, "Then you're gonna have to teach yourself to amuse yourself. You gotta learn things to be alone." After that, his eyes glazed over slightly before he looked off to the side and moved his lips wordlessly for several seconds and then continued with his dialogue. The actor must have completely dropped a line, because this quotation made no contextual or semantic sense.

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: The morning after the tsunamis, Little Ethan was at Pilar's house. He came running out of his bedroom and accidentally saw Rachel's corpse. Later, Ethan Winthrop and Gwen came to the house, but left alone. Theresa later left the house, and then Alistair brought her into the Crane mansion with much fanfare. She entered alone, and then went up to see Jane, still alone. But when we next saw her, she was in Jane's bedroom with Little Ethan, even though Little Ethan never left Pilar's house.

Continuity mistake: On 8/18/05, Noah protests Sam's offer to set up the garage apartment for him. He says that he'll just use his old room. But Noah wouldn't have an "old room" in this house, as the house he grew up in was sucked through a portal into Hell while he was away at college.

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: Several times during the tsunamis, in the week of 8/1/05, Sam Bennett's shirt would switch between being yellow to a light orange from shot to shot. The orange shirt was distinctly darker than the yellow one, even when both were soaking wet. Actor James Hyde was wearing the yellow shirt, but his stunt double had the orange one.

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: On 7/28/05 and 7/29/05, a few episodes after Harmony, which is in Maine, was hit by an earthquake, the two men at the Tsunami Warning Center say that a tsunami is heading directly towards Harmony. It had previously been said that the earthquake's epicenter had been just offshore of Harmony, so the statement makes sense. However, they then looked at a computer graphic that showed the tsunami originating from far out in the Atlantic and heading westwards towards the entire eastern seaboard, as if the quake had occurred in the central or eastern Atlantic instead of near New England.

Continuity mistake: On 8/1/05, when the lamppost fell on T.C., you could see in the side view that T.C. was entirely in front of the lamppost from that perspective, so that they fell side by side, and T.C. landed perpendicular to the pole. Then, in the overhead shot immediately thereafter, T.C. was instead pinned by the street lamp, and it was lying mostly lengthwise across him.

Factual error: On 7/29/05, the men at the Tsunami Warning Center talked about the tsunami that was heading towards Harmony, and then the scene shifted to a giant wave. However, the shot was of a large, cresting ocean surface wave. Tsunamis are very different from surface waves in many ways, the most notable of which is that a tsunami at sea is only a few feet tall at most. Even when it approaches land it behaves like a violently oncoming tide, not a cresting wave.

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: On 7/19/05, Luis mentions his and Sheridan's past life in ancient Egypt. The viewers know about this past life, because Tabitha told Timmy about it. However, unlike their past lives on the Titanic and in 19th century America, which they experienced firsthand, Luis and Sheridan themselves never learned about their past life as Antony and Cleopatra.

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: On 7/6/05, Ivy mentions to Katherine that Rachel, Katherine's sister, had died before she, Ivy, married Julian. But since Ivy believes Alistair's story about Rachel dying in a boating accident, she should believe that Rachel died before Alistair married Katherine. And since Ivy is slightly younger than Julian, that means she thinks Rachel died before she was even born. Consequently, why would she cite Rachel's death in relation to an event in her life, rather than in terms of predating it altogether?

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: On 7/4/05, it was late at night and Alistair had just kissed Theresa. Pilar was warning her to stay away from him. Theresa was wearing a black, sleeveless dress, and Pilar was wearing a blue blouse and a matching light jacket. On 7/5/05, it was morning, which made sense because the characters had been saying through the past several episodes that it was almost morning. Theresa and Pilar were in the middle of the same conversation, unmoved from their previous location in front of the Crane mansion, but Theresa was wearing a white blouse with a floral print and Pilar's outfit was black.
6th Jul 2005
Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: On 7/4/05, Eve says to Julian, "Miles is your grandson, too, even if Chad doesn't know it." Julian is Chad's father, and Chad is the baby's biological father, but Whitney has told everybody that Fox is Miles' father; Eve and Julian know the truth. However, Julian is also Fox's father, so Chad does know that Julian is Miles' grandfather, even if it's for a different reason than he thinks.

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: On 6/23/05, Noah and Fancy kissed towards the end of the episode. Then they squabbled over who had followed whom to Harmony, both insisted that they were lifelong Harmony residents, and both accusatory asked each other, "Who are you?" before the police officer came up behind them and said, "That's what I'd like to know." Then, on 6/24/05, at the beginning of the episode, Noah and Fancy shared the same kiss, but then Fancy immediately and dreamily asked, "Who are you?" Then the police officer came up and delivered the same line as before.

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: On 6/24/05, Sam and Luis were trying to break through a wall in the Crane mansion. The sound of metal on metal is heard, and Pilar asks what has happened. Luis and Sam explain that they've just hit a metal barrier that they think must conceal the room they're looking for. But several square feet of metal are already exposed. Why wasn't the metallic sound heard earlier, and why is everyone acting like they've only just discovered this second barrier?

Passions (1999)
Plot hole: On 6/14/05, Ned and Fancy left Las Vegas by plane and traveled to Harmony. It was already dark when they left, which in June would mean that it must have been after 8pm at the absolute earliest. They arrived in Harmony later the same night. Harmony is in Maine, so by the time they got there, it would have been at least 2am (three hours travel time plus three hours time difference). However, after they had gotten home, Pilar was telling Paloma to come home before midnight, meaning that it was supposed to be much earlier than it could possibly have been at that point.

Passions (1999)
Continuity mistake: On 5/31/05, Martin refers to having been with Katherine for "more than twenty years." But he's only been with Katherine since they left Harmony together, which happened after the birth of Martin's youngest daughter Paloma. And Paloma graduated from high school about a year earlier, so she's not quite twenty herself, meaning Martin and Katherine have been together for at most nineteen years.
