Corrected entry: In March of 2005, when Philip was captured overseas, his wife Belle received a phone call to tell her that he was MIA. Messages like this are always communicated in person by a soldier and a chaplain.

Corrected entry: In October of 2004, Shawn had brain surgery after a severe motorcycle accident. However, his full head of thick hair was untouched. In actuality, it would have to have been extensively shaved in order for brain surgery to be performed.
Correction: Not necessarily. My sister had brain surgery about 10 years ago, and she only had a small area shaved (the area where surgery was required).

Corrected entry: On 5/2/05, Roman goes on and on about how Kate should have waited a year after his apparent death before moving on. However, Roman "died" at the stroke of New Year's, 2004, which means that it had in fact been sixteen months.
Correction: Actually, Kate knew that Roman was once alive on the island. Really, that was about four or so months ago that Roman once again "died" while trying to come home to Kate. When John returned to Salem, he told Kate about how everyone was alive on the island.

Corrected entry: In September of 2003, everyone seems to immediately assume that Alice Horton is becoming senile when she says that she has been seeing the ghost of her dead husband Tom. The general consensus in Salem is that there's no such thing as ghosts. How can everybody be this incredulous, when they all know full well that Marlena was possessed by the Devil in 1995?
Correction: Just because they believe in the Devil doesn't mean they believe in ghosts. Christians believe in the Devil but don't necessarily believe in ghosts.

Corrected entry: In February, 2004, Victor was electrocuted in the tub. The lights in the Kiriakis mansion flickered, and Nicole mentioned to Brady that "It's an old house." But the house isn't old at all. It was rebuilt from the ground up in 2001 after Kate burned down the old house.
Correction: When the original mansion was burned down Victor and Phillip moved into another mansion while their home was rebuilt. However they never moved and have been in the temporary home ever since. This mansion could actually be quite old as we have no idea when it was built.

Corrected entry: Marlena murdered Doug in the graveyard in March, 2004, after luring him there by claiming there was a pay phone nearby. But Doug is a lifelong Salem resident, and should have known damn well that there was no pay phone in the area. It was ridiculous that he would follow her, especially given that he knew she was the serial killer.
Correction: Doug hadn't lived in Salem for a long time, he only comes back to visit for short stints. It is possible that a new pay phone had been installed in his absence.

Corrected entry: On 10/6/03, Kate asked Marlena not to reveal her secret past with Stefano. Kate says she doesn't want Roman to know that she was was once a "high priced call girl." The error here is that although Kate mentioned to Marlena that she did indeed have a past involvement with Stefano, she never said exactly what it was. So this would be the first time Marlena was hearing that Kate had ever been in that line of work, and surely she would have been shocked. Instead, the scene was written as though Marlena already knew about it.
Correction: You have forgotten that Kate used to see Marlena for therapy shortly after giving birth to Lucas. It was during that time that Kate divulged her "secret past" to Marlena. We never saw any of these scenes on screen, so the writers are free to do with them what they will.
Correction: Actually, only messages that the soldier is dead are always communicated in person. Many other notifications, including MIA status or injury can be made by telephone if it is deemed the most suitable option under the circumstances.
