Blanche Delivers - S6-E1

Corrected entry: When the women are talking about Becky's visit, Sophia refers to Dorothy as "The president of knocked up and single." Other episodes established that Dorothy became pregnant when dating her ex-husband, Stan, in high school. She had all of her children with Stan, so she has never been a single pregnant woman.

Correction: Technically if you're not married, legally, you're single. She hadn't been dating Stan, just slept with him. In all the discussions about what happened, before her marrying Stan, she stated she went with him on a date, not that they were officially dating.

Yes, according to the episode "What a Difference a Date Makes" (Season Six), Dorothy agreed to a drive-in movie with Stan because she was upset after her date for the senior prom never came to her house (she was unaware that he did come, but Sophia thought he was not good enough for Dorothy and told him to leave). She and Stan were not a "serious" or "steady" couple at school, apparently.

Wham, Bam, Thank You, Mammy - S6-E5

Corrected entry: Blanche's nanny remembers seeing Blanche in a white dress at her wedding. But in a different episode, Blanche celebrates her anniversary by trying on her RED wedding dress. She explains that even she couldn't keep a straight face in a white dress.

Correction: Mammy's exact words are "Did you or did you not wear your first formal white dress with pink flowers to your junior prom". She was not talking about Blanche's wedding.

Correction: Whether it's officially legal or not, a couple can still organize a ceremony and treat it as a wedding. The brother and his boyfriend would consider themselves married.

There Goes the Bride (1) - S6-E16

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Rose says that Miles is in Europe with some students. The episode immediately before this one, however, revealed Miles being put back into a witness protection program, and leaving Rose.

Chosen answer: Rose's husband Charlie died making love to her. There are at least 3 different ways Blanche's husband George is said to have died: 1. Blanche was getting a pedicure when he was killed. 2. He had a car accident and died. 3. He had been in a coma and died. In theory they could all be combined (he had a car accident, fell into a coma, then died while she was having a pedicure), but that's conjecture. I'm not sure how Sophia's husband Sal died.

The episode where Blanche said her husband was in a car accident, she said she was on the phone with an officer (who was eating potato chips, crunch) who was at the scene of the accident, and the officer said George was hit head on and died.

Answer: According to one episode when Dorothy was sick on the couch and Blanche was trying to get her up, Sophia brings Dorothy a hot toddy to which Dorothy says 'that's an awful lot of whisky.' Sophia says she ran out of whisky awhile ago and this one was vodka and amaretto. She said 'that should kill everything. It killed your father.'
