Continuity mistake: On 5/8/13, Kristen DiMera mentions that her wedding to John Black took place 15 years earlier. This is factually correct in terms of show history. However, it draws attention to the fact that EJ DiMera, the child born to Kristen's impostor around the time of the wedding, was heavily SORASed (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome) and is portrayed by a 34-year-old actor.

Continuity mistake: On 12/31/07, E. J. mentioned how he had been struck in the head "the other night." The attack, which had been shown on 12/27/07, was one of the first things to happen that day, occuring in the morning, not at night. It was also the same day (for the characters) as when E. J. was speaking of it.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode on 6/5/07, Julie read Santo DiMera's letter, in which he declares a vendetta against the Brady family. She is translating the letter from Italian, and her husband Doug cuts in to say "Brady" and "Salem" when he was correctly able to guess what was written. On 6/6/07, at the beginning of the episode, the scene was repeated with Julie reading the letter. But this time, she read those words herself.

Continuity mistake: On 7/4/06, Kayla has a flashback to what she says is her and Steve's first Fourth of July with their daughter Stephanie. That would have been July 4, 1990. They talk about the various characters they're going to see at the barbecue later, including Jack. But Jack and the others they mention were actually stranded on a deserted island during the summer of 1990.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode on 4/10/06, Billie realized that the trapped girl's cell phone was Chelsea's, and at the same time Bo went into the sewer and discovered that the girl was Chelsea. At the start of the episode on 4/11/06, Billie yelled down to Bo that the girl was Chelsea as soon as she realizes it, and Bo then continues into the sewer, already knowing that the girl is Chelsea before he reaches her.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode on 3/13/06, Lexie agreed to have sex with Tek in the small clearing where they were standing, while Sami was spying on them. Then, on the other side of the bushes where she was hiding, Carrie suddenly collapsed in pain. At the beginning of the episode on 3/14/06, Sami was still in the bushes and Carrie was still doubled over in pain as if no time had passed, but Lexie was at Marlena's penthouse and Tek was at the Brady Pub.

Continuity mistake: On 2/28/06, Bo was speaking to a flight attendant when he turned to speak with Pete and Joe. This was immediately followed by a shot that panned from Pete's and Joe's backs (as well as Bo's, even though he had been facing the other two) across the waiting room. When the shot reached the gate at the far end, the flight attendant standing there was the same woman Bo had been talking to on the opposite side of the room.

Continuity mistake: On 2/8/06, Abe Carver said that "two years ago," the recently deceased Zack had given him "the gift of being a father." But Zack, who was originally the Carvers' adopted son, was born in 2000, over five years previously. Perhaps Abe was thinking of his second son, Theo, who was born in 2003.

Continuity mistake: On 1/6/05, one of the police officers said that the paint on Bo's SUV matched the residue on the curb. However, Zack was hit just after he stepped out from between two parked cars. Therefore, there would have been no residue on the curb at the accident site.

Continuity mistake: On 11/30/05, Mimi's cell phone rang. Before answering the call, Mimi looked at the display and said to Shawn, "It's Belle." After she hit the button, the shot changed to Belle at the hospital. Belle was holding a land-line phone at the hospital. So how could Mimi's caller ID have possibly known that Belle was making the call? It should have said that the call was from University Hospital.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the episode on 11/15/05, Roman was at Marlena's penthouse. He told Alex to leave. Alex responded that he was just trying to help Marlena. Then Alex went to leave, but Marlena asked him to stay. At the start of the 11/16/05 episode, Roman called Kate from Chez Rouge and told her that a police emergency had called him away, and that he was now at the restaurant. Back at Marlena's penthouse, the conversation was continuing uninterrupted, with John asking Marlena why she wanted Alex to stay, and Alex's story then continuing from where it left off. But if enough time had passed for Roman to deal with a police emergency and then settle in for a leisurely evening, how could the conversation at the penthouse have been at a complete standstill? Since Roman had been in the penthouse with them, and then called Kate who was still in the penthouse, Roman is still tied to the timeline of their storyline thread. Only after the call would it be acceptable for the duration of his activities to not affect the penthouse scene.

Continuity mistake: In the premiere episode, which aired on November 8, 1965, Alice mentioned an absent son, saying, "Poor Dan married Kitty down at city hall just before he was shipped overseas." Two years later, Alice's son was found alive and his wife, with whom he reunited, was still named Kitty, but the man's name had changed to Tom Horton, Jr.

Continuity mistake: On 10/21/05, Hope referred to her son Zack as "Zachary Brady." But Zack's name isn't Zachary, it's used as a shorter version of Isaac. Zack's full name is "Beauregard Isaac Theo Brady."

Continuity mistake: On Thursday, 10/13/05, Belle saw Shawn and Mimi together on the roof. At the end of the episode, she was climbing down the ladder when her foot slipped and she appeared to fall. Belle was not seen on 10/14/05, and then at the beginning of the episode on 10/17/05, they showed a completely different scene where Belle was climbing down the ladder and her foot almost slipped from a rung, but she didn't loose her footing nearly as much as she had the first time these events were shown.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the 8/3/05 episode, Sami jumped out of the cake, walked directly to Lucas, and said, "I am going to give you a birthday you'll never forget," and then she kissed him. At the beginning of the next episode, Lucas asked, "Sami, what the hell are you doing here?" when she first popped out, and there were about two more lines of dialogue between the two of them before Sami delivered the same line as the day before and kissed him.

Continuity mistake: On 7/13/05, Bonnie complains of a stiff neck from sleeping on the sofa bed in Mickey's den. However, when Mickey first suggested that he, Bonnie, and Maggie live together, he specifically stated that there were three bedrooms in the house and they would each have one.

Continuity mistake: On 7/8/05, Mimi mentioned to Rex that she woke up in a cell that day, referring to her time in prison. But it was actually still just later in that same day that she was sentenced, before which she was out on bail. So she'd gone into prison that day, but she hadn't woken up there.

Continuity mistake: On 7/7/05, Mickey talks about how he, Rex, and Patrick may have made a mistake in going to the police station "tonight." However, both prior to and after that scene, it was full daylight not only in Salem, but even on the plane that was carrying Belle and her family back from Europe, where it would have been hours later than it was in Salem.

Continuity mistake: On 6/20/05, Bo and Billie talk about how they are going to look for their daughter Georgia via a website for "adopted children who have turned eighteen and are looking for their biological parents." However, Georgia was supposedly still sixteen in the fall of 2004, per Billie's statements, so she couldn't have been more than seventeen at the time this conversation happened.
