* TheMillstone: Is this in the film, when after casting talented young actor Francesco Campo René is forced to cast Corinna as well, because they belong to the same management agency and are offered as a "package deal". It only gets worse after Campo [[spoiler:dies of an overdose]] but Corinna sticks.
Added DiffLines:
* BlackHumour: In the film, at [[spoiler:Francesco Campo's funeral]], he barely keeps a chuckle when he holds his phone in the air and says "Non c'è più Campo" ("There's no more Campo"/"There's no more signal"). [[LamePunReaction René doesn't find it funny in the slightest]].

* {{Yandere}}: Non-romantic example in the film -- although, given Stanis's narcissistic love for his own presence, who's to say? He tries to emotionally manipulate René into giving him a lead role in ''The Caste'' by threatening to commit suicide, even swallowing a full bottle of pills at one point (he gets better). Later on, when the young lead actor dies of a heroin overdose, Stanis claims (at his funeral!) that he was his best friend and he was asked by the dead man himself to take up his role, only because he cannot conceive not being the protagonist in the eye of René's camera.
* CharacterDevelopment: When she reappears in the movie, her acting style has evolved from DullSurprise to HamAndCheese. Not that this helps René in any way.
* InSeriesNickname: "Mazinger's daughter", originally given by Sergio and referencing her family's privilege.
* BackForTheFinale: After missing the actual Season 3 finale, she appears in the ''Boris'' film in a cameo.

* ButtMonkey: René always makes jokes at her expense (behind her back), even ''after'' she's PutOnABus. During a scene where she can't pronounce a word after multiple attempts, even Stanis keeps laughing at her. In the season 3 finale, she works for [[BadBoss Glauco]], who openly insults her and comically pushes her around... unlike René, he doesn't bother to hide his disdain for her.
Added DiffLines:
* ObliviousToHatred: She's usually blind to the fact that most of her co-workers can't stand her. Even in the movie, when she finally learns about René's infamous hatred for her and calls him out on it, [[ConsummateLiar René]] denies everything and still pretends to adore her.
