  • Anvilicious: HIV and AIDS tests on this show whenever any two people have sex. Out of the entire cast only Ajax caught something and it was Chamladyia, the writers seem to have caught on though and now only do it during AIDS awareness month.
    • Selwyn takes a picture of him and a girl kissing in a church and it instantly goes viral and ends his career.
  • Base-Breaking Character:
    • Noluntu, is she an unforgivable nymphomaniac who will go after any man regardless of sexuality or a poor girl who tries to find the love she never got from her emotionally and physically distant parents?
    • After the first Senzo/Jason kiss, shipping wars broke out between Senzo/Jason shippers and Jason/Dineo shippers which led to the creation of two (Disturbingly popular) opposing Facebook groups.
  • Creator's Pet: Jigga, suddenly a soap about adults working in magazines and advertising decides to have a kid as part of the main cast. He helps the police catch cocaine dealers, then Ajax and Zamani decide to give him a place to live, it’s made a big deal of about him failing his final exams and then when Ajax and Zamani make a big deal about it he gets angry and moves to Ma Ruby’s and everybody’s so charmed by his awesome boyishness that they give him everything he wants. There were many sighs of relief when he left to go live with them.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Queen. Jason.
    • Belinda, who is Ax-Crazy and is not afraid to show it.
  • Fandom Rivalry: With Scandal fans.
    • And most recently with The Wild fans, due to Connie Ferguson's (Karabo) involvement with the project.
  • The Scrappy: Steve, for being a Flat Character and breaking up fan favorites Queen and Lungile.
    • Grandpa Memela, whose entire schtick is backwards attitudes because he's old.
    • Despite having a fandom even after trying to break up Senzo/Jason by going after both of them, Noluntu seems to have crossed the line into scrappydom when she verbally attacked her mother.
  • Memetic Mutation: Queen, darling.
  • Never Live It Down: There were still topics on some forums about Tau’s death, over five years ago.
  • Pandering to the Base: Tau, not a good idea though…
