• Acceptable Targets: The show preserves the grand Canadian tradition of making fun of Newfoundland.
  • Which could actually be a bit of an in joke, considering that that's where the first season was actually filmed.
• Designated Hero: In theory at least, the viewers are supposed to root for and sympathize with Casey, but many fans found her at least as annoying as Derek, if not moreso.
• Die for Our Ship: And how...
  • There are a handful of Dasey shippers who tend to demonize Emily in fanfics, portraying her as a jealous Stalker With a Crush who would do anything to get Casey out of the way and have Derek for herself.
  • Then there's Sally...
  • Oh, and let's not forget Truman.
• Fan Preferred Couple: Derek/Casey, and how.
  • For a character that only appeared in three episodes, Noel created a pretty signficant ship with Casey in the fandom. You won't find many Noel/Casey fanfics, but there are quite a number of videos of YouTube of the two.
  • Edwin/Lizzie is another.
• Incest Yay Shipping: Derek/Casey, despite only being step-siblings.
• The Masochism Tango: Sam and Casey's extremely fragile on-again, off-again relationship.
• Portmanteau Couple Name: Dasey is popular with shippers.
  • To name a few others: Lizwin, Geora, Dally, Demily, Sasey, Trashy... shall I continue?
• Relationship Writing Fumble: Casey and Derek seem more like they have Belligerent Sexual Tension than just Sibling Rivalry most of the time.
• Strangled By the Red String: This is how many fans felt about Derek and Emily's relationship at the end of the series.
• Tastes Like Diabetes: Marti. Very much.
• Tear Jerker: When Derek says goodbye to Sally.
  • There's also one earlier on, when Casey's dad comes to visit.
