In yet another example of the more things change on the soaps, the more they stay the same, a friend who's also into DS pointed this item out to me today on tvguide.com's

As Roger Howarth's Haircut Turns
Eagle-eyed watchers of As the World Turns may have noticed a "film flub" moment this week. On Tuesday, May 9, Paul (Roger Howarth) visited his wife, Emily (Emily Menighan Hensley), in her hospital room. In the next day's episode, Paul was still standing in the very same spot, talking to the bedridden Emily. However, Howarth's normally shoulder-length bottle-blond hair was noticeably several inches shorter!
Clearly, Howarth got a haircut in between shooting scenes and there was a continuity hiccup. Oops!

Forget hair length incontinuity - characters not only had different hair, they wore completely different clothes from episode to episode - even when they were restaging and/or contining on with the same scene.
And the most recent example of that comes with both Julia and Willie from yesterday's Ep #515 and today's Ep #516:
But then, I suppose we were never supposed to notice these sorts of things due to DC's strongly held belief that the DS audience had short attention spans.
