A gender trope i hate: Young Girl Enters Puberty Episode well after the actress has started to develop signs such as visible breasts.
I could mention Lizzie McGuire in which Lizzie and Miranda were visibly wearing bras *before* the We Need a Bra Episode, but I'll be retro and mention Samantha Smith's Elizabeth in 1985's Lime Street even though it was a drama. A newspaper report on a speech she gave to a university student audience in early '85 mentioned she had obvious signs of puberty and had started wearing makeup... but her Lime Street character has her first period in an episode!
