Phoney Call
 The City 1995 / int_12b796e
comment
Phoney Call: Molly is on the phone with her mother. She puts it down to turn off the kettle, and at this point, the audience hears the operator's message "If you'd like to make a call please hang up and try again. If you need help, hang up, and then dial your operator..." Molly returns and proceeds to pick up the phone and continue talking the way she was before, thus revealing herself to be completely delusional - and the Serial Killer who has been offing various characters for the past several months. In a later scene, her boyfriend Danny realizes this when he picks up the extension while she's talking to her "mother", only to hear the same operators message.

Trans Relationship Troubles
 The City 1995 / int_4ba6a037
comment
Trans Relationship Troubles/ Trans Tribulations: The City was the first Soap Opera to tackle this topic, with the gorgeous model Azure C. being revealed to have been born a man, resulting in her nearly being fired from the agency where she worked and her boyfriend Bernardo denouncing her as a "freak". Unfortunately, negative fan reaction and the actress' poor performance nixed the storyline, but on the plus side, the characters reconciled and left town happily.

STD Immunity: When Sydney goes to Angie for a rape exam after being raped by Jared, she is very adamant about being tested for HIV and STD's (this is a standard part of a rape exam regardless), given his penchant for infidelity, though she fortunately tests negative.

comment
Old Friend, New Gender: Gorgeous model Azure C. confessed to her landlord Bernardo that she'd had a crush on him since high school. This confused him, as he didn't remember her. Shortly after they consummated their relationship, he learned that she was Transgender. It was the pre-transition version of her who'd had the crush on him, developed after he protected her from bullies.
