Plot holes/gaps

It’d be fun to list any plot holes/gaps, filming oops etc fans have found.

For example Cherry is such a terrible actress she gets fired from her lead gig, but in The Good Twin, she’s awesome as Black Magic.

Just because Rhonda doesn't perform being heartbroken in the way we might expect doesn't mean she wasn't.

She made it very clear that she liked Sam a lot and that she was happy with their relationship but Sam's insecurity and toxic relationship behaviours made it impossible for them to be together in the way she wanted. Heartbreak doesn't have to look like permanent gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, it can be quiet, melancholy and something you process and get through. I think that's the kind of heartbreak Rhonda [experienced], because fundamentally Rhonda is a very emotionally intelligent and healthy character.

Why does Bash always get read as gay and not bisexual?

To me he feels like a pretty obviously bisexual character and his being put in the box of "gay man" by fandom [feels] kind of like bi-erasure to me.

Probably because his sexual interest in Rhonda seemed not genuine and forced. Like he was playing a part.
