I'm glad somebody noticed the Sasha/Anna character thing, and already posted that slip up. The same actress played the girlfriend of Jess' father from LA and also later on in the series she portrayed a former flame of Luke's who just happenend to be the mother of his daughter, which he hadn't known existed.
But what was really strange was the Lily/April thing. Wasn't it odd that Sasha had a daughter named Lily, who was freakishly similiar to Anna Nardini's daughter April.
Coincidence...I think not. It's like it was a preview of what was to come, either that or the writer's were extremely lazy the day they decided Luke Danes needed an estranged family.
