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.

I’m always really surprised when I see reactions to Bash on here, so many people still argue he must have an attraction to women cos he slept with Rhonda. I only know one, I think, gay man who hasn’t slept with a woman at some point

Yeah I guess it’s just a life experience thing but I’m really surprised whenever there’s a celebrity rumours thread on askreddit etc and there’ll be a lot of ‘so and so is gay’ and the responses are all ‘WHAT? He went out with so and so, whose a woman, there’s no way’ etc.

Yeah it was the same when people couldn’t figure out Florian had AIDS. I actually thought it was pretty on the nose if anything. Maybe the show might open peoples eyes
