Plot hole: When Zack Brady was hit by a car and severely injured in January of 2006, Dr. Lexie Carver urged Bo and Hope to take him off of life support as Zack had no chance of recovery. To encourage them towards this decision, she pointed out that Zack's liver might be a match for Claire Kiriakis, a baby who was dying of liver failure. However, Lexie failed to mention that liver transplants can be done from live donors because the liver regenerates. Dr. Carver would certainly have known that.

Plot hole: In August of 2005, during what was meant to be one day in the characters' lives, John took his private jet and visited Colorado, Hawaii, and Singapore. A trip to all three destinations in eighteen hours (at most) would be quite impossible.

Plot hole: On 7/7/05, Lucas told Sami that Will had called him from summer camp to say he was having a good time but misses Sami. However, just a few episodes earlier, when it was already the same day, Sami was making an American flag dessert that she said was for Lucas and Will. So why wasn't Sami surprised to hear that Will is away from home?

Plot hole: On 6/16/05, Mimi visited Marlena at her office to ask for advice. But why does Marlena still have an office at the hospital? She was believed dead for a full year, and had not even been back for two days at that point.

Plot hole: On 6/8/04, when Marlena first saw Victor on Melaswen, Victor told her all about how Jan tried to murder him under Nicole's orders. Then, in May of 2005, Marlena finally returns to Salem and soon has several civil encounters with Nicole, as if she doesn't know that the woman conspired to commit murder. She also fails to denounce Jan, even though Marlena's daughter's best friend Mimi could greatly benefit from such a revelation since she currently stands accused of attacking the woman.

Plot hole: On 4/5/05, Rex surprises Mimi on the roof with a romantic dinner. He also plays Jesse McCartney's "Beautiful Soul," which Mimi identifies as "their song." But Rex and Mimi started to get together as a couple about two full years ago. Why would "their song" be something that was released in the last two months?

Plot hole: On 3/15/05, Jack picks up the phone in his house and calls Jennifer's cell phone. Unfortunately, before he can tell her what's going on, the Jennifer impostor knocks him out and tells Jennifer that it was a wrong number. However, Jennifer's cell phone should have shown her that the call was coming from her own home, which would have been quite suspicious.

Plot hole: On 3/9/05, Chelsea's mother told Chelsea and Abby that it was bedtime. Then the girls snuck out to go to the Cheating Heart. Later the same night, Abby, Chelsea, and Jennifer were all at Alice's anniversary party, so it was apparently no longer after bedtime. Then, later still, Jennifer was upset that Abby wasn't at the house and therefore was breaking curfew, even though Abby was staying at Chelsea's house in the first place. Nothing about that timeline makes any sense.

Plot hole: Around 3/14/05, the Jennifer impostor told Jack that it was too late at night to get Abigail from Chelsea's house where she was staying. Jack agreed that it was very late at night, and they also talked about how late it was when the impostor told Jack that the ISA wanted to debrief him right away. Then, later that same night, it was Alice's anniversary party, which wouldn't make sense if it had already been late at night to begin with.

Plot hole: On 1/25/05, Belle asks the jewelry store proprietor to recommend a medal to give to Philip, who is going to war. The lady suggests that Belle buy the same medal she had given her own grandson when he went to war. But on 1/26/05, when Belle gave the medal to Philip, she told him that it was the same as the medal that her grandmother had given to her grandfather when he went off to fight in WWII. If Belle knew about a medal that her grandparents had once exchanged, why didn't she just ask the lady for that particular medal?

Plot hole: In January of 2005, John became a drug addict and was confronted by Nicole, Brady, and Kate. However, John was exhibiting all of the characteristic behaviors of drug addiction (lying, stealing, denying the need for help) as well as total chemical dependence, later on the same day that he first stole and injected painkillers. No addiction could progress that quickly.

Plot hole: On 12/28/04, Sami and Belle talk about how they used to play with Barbies as kids, and how Sami made Belle promise that she would let Sami get married before her, or else she'd tear the head off of Belle's Barbie doll. But when Belle was born, Sami was already a teenager; Sami actually kidnapped Belle and tried to sell her on the black market. So Sami and Belle were never kids together, and the described interaction is impossible.

Plot hole: On 12/29/04, Kate told Belle that "the invitations - they're being rush-printed by a Basic Black printing company," in reference to her wedding invitations. But earlier in the episode, Celeste already had a wedding invitation that a messenger had given to her.

Plot hole: In 1998, Billie gave birth to a baby, Georgia, that she believed to be stillborn. When she and Bo found out in 2004 that Georgia was really alive, Billie lamented having missed fifteen years of her daughter's life, and they talked about how their daughter would now be a teenager. But Georgia should only be six years old.

Plot hole: On 11/29/04, Philip and Belle tell Sami that they want to use her wedding date, because they want to get married very soon, before Philip is shipped out. But Lucas later mentions that he and Sami don't even have invitations yet, which would indicate that their intended wedding date isn't very soon at all.

Plot hole: On 9/21/04, when Shawn turned up at the hospital, injured, the first person Dr. Carver called was Belle. Why? She's hardly his next of kin. Shawn's grandfather, Shawn Sr., and his grandmother, Julie, both should have been contacted first.

Plot hole: On 10/8/04, Hope drew a comparison between the current situation and the movie "A Shark's Tale", saying Zach wanted to go as the shark that didn't eat people. But Hope had been trapped on an isolated island for weeks, since well before that movie came out, so how could she know anything about it?

Plot hole: New Salem is supposed to be in the Caribbean, while actual Salem is in the Midwest (near Chicago). When Hope and Patrick's plane crashed in August of 2004, it was close enough to New Salem that they washed up there. But it was also close enough to Salem that Bo was able to take a helicopter out to the crash site. Helicopters have a maximum range of 500 miles, while the Caribbean is over a thousand miles from the upper Midwest, so this is impossible.

Plot hole: On 9/29/04, Lexie called Brady to tell him that his father, John, was missing and presumed dead. She made the call from a pay phone in the hospital lobby. But why would Lexie make such a sensitive call from a public place, when she has an office?

Plot hole: On 9/14/04, Hope tells Patrick that Billie Reed is the only person who has ever come between her and Bo. But that statement is more than a little ridiculous. Stefano DiMera, Princess Gina, Megan Hathaway, Larry Welch, and John Black have all come between Bo and Hope.
