In the first season of the show the guy that Jenn got sent to Capeside because of is named Billy, when a few seasons later the story changes that to Drue Valentine when he comes to Capeside.
Throughout the series, most of the actors playing teenagers are actually in their twenties or older. This is a common practice in television for several reasons:
- It helps avoid child labor laws that limit how long minors can work on set and allows production to continue without interfering with real-life schooling.
- Casting adults provides more experienced performers.
- It gives producers greater freedom in depicting mature or sexualized content.
- It offers teenage viewers characters they can relate to and look up to.
Mic packs being worn by the actors are occasionally visible.
The first season took place from fall to spring in the state of Massachusetts, however the realities of a Massachusetts winter (snow, heavy clothes, etc.) never appeared.
