The phrase "Neck of the Week" is sometimes used jokingly by Forever Knight fans to refer, in a somewhat disparaging fashion, to guest characters who are romanced by Nick Knight in the course of the episode, but then killed off at the end of the story. This practice is common in episodic series television. It allows to introduce a romantic subplot for the hero, while at the same time enabling them to return to the status quo at the end of the story. Some of these characters, having been drained, then become vampires at the end of the story; but none recurs in subsequent episodes.

  • The phrase "Neck of the Week" is sometimes used jokingly by Forever Knight fans to refer, in a somewhat disparaging fashion, to guest characters who are romanced by Nick Knight in the course of the episode, but then killed off at the end of the story. This practice is common in episodic series television. It allows to introduce a romantic subplot for the hero, while at the same time enabling them to return to the status quo at the end of the story. In episodes of Forever Knight, most of these characters appear in flashbacks. Many are actually drained to death by Nick himself, though others are killed by LaCroix. However, especially in the first season, there are also short-lived female guest characters whose role is in the present-day plot. Some of these characters, having been drained, then become vampires at the end of the story; but none recurs in subsequent episodes.
