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.

Show generally

Question: The question "How do the girls' husbands, other than Dorothy's, die?" was answered that in theory, Blanche's husband could have had a car wreck, fallen into a coma, and died while she was getting a pedicure. This is not true. Blanche stated that when George came back to her in a dream, she remembered tripping over his shoe on her way to answer the phone, thus finding out that George had died in a car wreck. Doesn't this prove that the "he had a wreck, fell into a coma, and then died during Blanche's pedicure", theory is out?

Countryrunner

Chosen answer: Yes, you are correct, as stated, In one episode Blanche said he had been in a coma for days, in the episode where she's in her dream, she said "The day you died ... The police told me you had been in an accident." Thus the original answers theory is wrong. If he had been in the accident the day he died he could not have been in a coma for days.

Valentine

Yeah, in another episode she relates how a thoughtless state trooper phoned her and told her that her husband was dead with his mouth full.
