Fan Casting Mistaken for Cheating

Role added by keanulover96 on November 28, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Mistaken for Cheating:

Similar to Mistaken for Gay, this is when a character is wrongly accused of cheating on his spouse or girlfriend because of a series of misinterpreted clues. Usually these clues look very suspicious (a bra left in his apartment, lipstick on his collar, a piece of Affair Hair, a romantic note) and the real story is hard to believe and/or involves secrets the accused character doesn't want to reveal. The wrongly accused may protest "Wait! I Can Explain!" or "It's Not What It Looks Like!" If the spouse or girlfriend is another major character, the conflict will be resolved; if the love interest is a Girl of the Week, she may storm off, thus ending the relationship.
