* CommitmentIssues: Jeff has proposed to Rachel multiple times, but she keeps putting him off, to the point where it's become a running joke between the two of them. She had previously given him fairly mundane practical reasons like saving their money rather than spending it on a wedding, but eventually she realises she'd been afraid to commit because [[spoiler:she still hadn't dealt with her grief over Debbie's death and the break-up of the group as a result.]]

* TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: Some songs are more distanced from their original context when they were first released in the charts than others:
** "A Million Love Songs" goes from being a pretty conventional love song to being used as [[spoiler: a eulogy for Debbie]].
** "Back for Good" goes from being a break-up song to a song about the main characters wanting to reconnect with their past selves.

!!Provides examples of:
* AccentsArentHereditary: In the film, Rachel and her parents have Irish accents while her younger brother doesn't, suggesting they moved to Clitheroe before her brother was born, but Rachel having attended Debbie's sixth birthday party would seem to suggest that she should also have more of a Lancashire accent if she's been living in Clitheroe since she was six.
