Continuity error in Episode 2


When Gates is sitting on the edge of his daughter's bed his phone goes. He looks at it and the called ID is 'Jack Laverty'. The camera shifts to a much closer angle when the phone rings a second time and it definitely says 'Jackie Laverty'

Yeah I saw that too my first thought was it must be her husband but when it flashed again I just assumed that I misread it.

I only saw the 'Jack' one and assumed he named it that way to disguise it from his Wife! It wouldn't look too good having a 'Jackie' calling you all hours of the night all the time!

In Ep 1 it was always Jack Laverty. I also assumed he had put Jacki's number in his phone under that name in case his wife saw the phone ringing.

In this past episode it was labeled as Jack Laverty so I guess the continuity error was when they showed it as Jackie Laverty.

Yep. The one shot where it is shown as Jackie has to be a goof. Presumably a props person set up the phone book incorrectly (thinking the instruction they'd been given was wrong because they knew the character was called Jackie) and they forgot to make sure the shot didn't get used once they spotted the error.
