Fans Spot Hilarious Continuity Error in ‘Doctor Odyssey’ Episode

April 14, 2025 

ABC’s medical drama Doctor Odyssey has been making waves for its bold storytelling, star-studded cast, and now—an unexpected editing slip that has fans talking.

During the “Hot Tub Week” episode that aired on April 10, eagle-eyed viewers caught a surprising continuity error. While the show’s characters were supposedly sailing on open water, a fan on X (formerly Twitter) pointed out the presence of trees in the background—despite the scene taking place on the ocean.

The moment involved Tristan, played by Sean Teale, standing on deck with what appeared to be a patch of greenery behind him. According to behind-the-scenes footage, the outdoor scenes are filmed on a land-based set, which explains the rogue tree cameo.

This isn’t the first time fans have spotted such goofs in TV shows, but Doctor Odyssey‘s otherwise polished production made this flub stand out. Still, the light-hearted mistake didn’t detract from the buzz surrounding the episode.

What Is Doctor Odyssey About?

Premiering in September 2024, Doctor Odyssey follows Dr. Max Bankman (played by Joshua Jackson), the new onboard physician aboard the luxury cruise ship Odyssey. Alongside Captain Massey (Don Johnson) and a colorful ensemble including Phillipa Soo and Sean Teale, the series explores personal drama, unexpected pregnancies, and even a potential love triangle turned throuple.

The show has gained attention not just for its compelling narrative, but for its bold approach to storytelling within the constraints of network television. Jackson praised the series’ creative vision in a recent interview, noting, “We tried to make sure the show sparkles—and I think we did a pretty good job.”

Why the Error Doesn’t Sink the Ship

While editing mistakes are never ideal, this one has added an amusing layer to Doctor Odyssey’s growing online presence. Fans have largely taken the goof in stride, with many joking that the tree was simply “part of the magic” of the show’s wild storytelling.

With ABC airing new episodes every Thursday at 9 PM ET and streaming available on Hulu, Doctor Odyssey continues to entertain—even when things don’t go exactly according to script.
