* BaitAndSwitchTyrant: Kate Larsen fills in for Terri in early season 4. While it's made immediately clear that she's not going to be as friendly with the staff as Terri is, it's also quickly made clear that she's willing to support them when the situation calls for it and will make tough but fair decisions when it doesn't.

She's also surprisingly more lenient regarding Jodi's wardrobe than Terri ever was.

Initially, the series revolved around Ward 17 (nicknamed the Garbage Ward because it took the overflow from other wards), and the nursing unit attached to it, managed by Sister Therese Sullivan (Georgie Parker). In 2004, the series received a {{retool}}, with Ward 17 closing, several characters being written out and Terri and her surviving staff being transferred to the Emergency Department, under Dr. Frank Campion (Creator/JohnHoward). A second retool followed in 2009, with a new focus on rescue operations in the field and the show being renamed ''All Saints: Medical Response Unit''. The series ended in October that year with the resignation of Von Ryan (Judith [=McGrath=]), the only main character remaining from the first episode.

* MunchausenSyndrome:

to:

* MunchausenSyndrome: MedalOfDishonour: Terri is awarded Employee of the Year in Season 3. It's probably meant genuinely, since Terri earned it with her actions following the hospital bombing in the season premiere, but it's also implied to be at least partly a ploy to distract from the impending closure of Ward 17 for cost-cutting reasons. When Terri accepts the award, she makes a speech about how much the patients are going to suffer without Ward 17, which saves the ward at the cost of Ward 12 instead.

* RightBehindMe: When Connor complains about whichever agency nurse has been assigned to the ward with Linda Davies behind him, made worse by the fact that she wasn't an agency nurse until the closure of Ward 12 in the previous episode.

!!''All Saints'' provides examples of:

* TheAlcoholic: Nelson (introduced as a RecoveredAddict, though he did have relapses), Mitch (implied to be the result of the brain tumour that would kill him) and Steve.
* ArtisticLicenceMedicine: Occasionally. One particularly controversial incident involved a claim that a case of BrotherSisterIncest resulting in pregnancy could result in the baby being born with Down syndrome.
* DisposableFiance: Jared's fiance Amanda in the first season, a snob who disapproves of him staying a nurse and especially doing so in the Weteern suburbs. She eventually leaves him for good when he has an HIV scare and she thinks he may have infected her (for the record, he was negative and he hadn't done anything beyond kissing her).
* DrJerk: [[InsistentTerminology Professor]] Richard Craig, who regularly tries to bully patients into going along with his (usually experimental) treatment ideas while paying no respect to the nurses, and at one point lies to a patient about his wife surviving their car accident. He also blackmails his daughter Bron into resigning from the ward if he saves the life of her friend, though he didn't technically hold her to it (the patient died in surgery and Bron left of her own accord, as did Craig shortly after).
** Of the main cast, Frank Campion stands as out as Dr. JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* HelloNurse[=/=]HospitalHottie: All over the place.
* KilledOffForReal: Of the main cast, Stephanie (car accident), Mitch (brain tumour), Sean (hit by a car), Erica (murdered),
* LoveDodecahedron: Mainly between [[DeathOfTheHypotenuse Stephanie]], Ben, Bron, Luke, Paula and possibly [[AllLoveIsUnrequited Connor]] and [[SecondLove Jodi]].
* MDEnvy: Subverted with Jared. He was initially introduced as a medical student only to give that up after becoming more enthusiastic about nursing over the course of the first season.
* NumberTwo:
** Stephanie was Terri's second-in-command of the nursing unit, later succeeded by Connor, who in turn was succeeded by Nelson.
** Charlotte was second-in-command of the Emergency department before being replaced by Zoe.
* ParentalIncest: the twist in an early episode involving an abandoned baby, whose teenaged mother was trying to get her away from their father.
* PrecisionFStrike: In Frank's introductory episode, during a heated argument with Terri:
-->'''Frank''': If you ever use your influence with your previous employees to white-ant me again, you will never work in Emergency. Can I make it any fucking clearer?
* PromotionToOpeningTitles:
** Brian Vriends as Ben Markham, who had been recurring for the first two seasons and over a hundred episodes before being promoted after Stephanie's death halfway through season 3.
** Celia Ireland as Regina Butcher, who had been recurring since season two before being promoted in season 6.
** Jenni Baird as Paula Morgan and Paul Tassone as Nelson Curtis, who had been recurring since season 4 before being promoted in season 6.
* RomanticFalseLead: Rose, who married Mitch in season 3 only for the relationship to fall apart due to him still being in love with Terri and her bipolar disorder.
* TonightSomeoneDies: A rather misleading one where the character in question left the show quietly and temporarily.
* WillTheyOrWontThey: With a few of the couples, especially Terri and Mitch, with such obstacles as her being a nun and him getting married to Rose.
* WorkingWithTheEx: Mitch and Terri, after he returns to All Saints in season 2.
