* ButNotTooGay: While he is shown in bed with a man and takes a man, presumably his husband, to meet Roman, he's never shown engaging in anything physical or even discussing his personal life. Could be considered [[JustifiedTrope justified]] in that the show doesn't often depict romantic or sexual interactions between ''anyone'', let alone a character with such minimal screentime.

* DarkHorseVictory: A subtle one. In the first season Connor insists on bringing Willa into the siblings and their partners' picture, to which Shiv argues that it can't be done because Willa is a call girl and that will hurt Shiv and Tom's profiles. Several seasons later, [[spoiler:Tom and Shiv are separated]], Kendall and Rava are divorced, [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Tabitha is nowhere to be seen]] and Willa is still with Connor [[spoiler:now as his wife]].

* AffectionateNickname: As he's their older brother/parental figure, he'll sometimes call Roman "Romey" and Kendall "Kenny", still treating them as little kids.

Added DiffLines:

* AntiVillain: He's sleaze like most of the cast, but out of everyone Tom shows the most signs of genuine kindness and morality. It's a relative thing and he's just as capable of mindless cruelty, but he's still relatively more altruistic and empathetic than most of the Roys's inner circle, albeit with it heavily dampened by his weaselly and self-serving personality.

Added DiffLines:

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: He openly says that being rich is freaking awesome, and he's not going to pretend he doesn't love every second of it or deny himself any luxuries--and, as he says to Shiv, all the rest of them share his lust for money, so none of them have the right to judge him for it.
-->'''Tom:''' I like nice things. I do. If you think that’s shallow, why don’t you throw out all your stuff for love?

* {{Hypocrite}}: A rare moment of someone putting Marcia in her place comes when Marcia makes one snide comment too many about "how far [Willa] has come" [[spoiler: after she marries Connor]], only for Willa to coolly retort "Yes, look at both us" -- reminding Marcia that, for all her airs and graces, she is in many ways just as much a GoldDigger as Willa is and is in no real position to look down her nose.

Marcia can only accept the comeback with silent fuming.

* TookALevelInKindness: Marcia is nothing but [[KickTheDog cruel]] to Kerry [[spoiler: at Logan's wake, callously kicking her out and mocking her social status.]] Several episodes later, [[spoiler: at Logan's funeral, when Caroline brings Kerry up to the front with the all of the other wives and mistresses, she takes Kerry's hand as she weeps, seeming to realize now that Logan's dead, it doesn't matter anymore.]]



** At [[spoiler:Logan's wake]] she takes the highest pleasure to absolutely eviscerate his young mistress, Kerry. However, by the time [[spoiler:Logan's funeral rolls around, she appears to have softened slightly.]]
