* The scene in which Dave retrieves the flashlight, after Ben first hides it, in order to dispose of it for good, is missing from the Australian version of the show. In that version, Ben weighs the backpack down by filling it with rocks and then throws it into the river, only to discover that Christy was watching him from a higher vantage point. Dave does play a role in Ben's decision to move the flashlight, though, because originally Ben hides the backpack on a girder in between two floor joists in the crawlspace under the house. After Dave stresses how through the police are in their searches, Ben crawls back under the house with a rag and a jug of gasoline, retrieves the backpack and cleans the flashlight with the gasoline. He then takes the bag and moves it until he realizes throwing it in the river is the only way to fully dispose of it. |

Revision as of 01:05, 26 March 2016
This page lists all differences between "Secrets & Lies", the 2014 Australian television series, and "Secrets and Lies", the 2015 American remake of the same name.
- NOTE: This comparison only contains information on the first season of each series. This is due primarily to the fact that the first season of the American version is a strict adaptation of the Australian version, and that the American version possesses a second season that the Australian version currently lacks.
Title
- Losing the adjoining ampersand and acquiring the written conjunction, "Secrets & Lies" is now "Secrets and Lies".
Character Names
- Ben Gundelach is now Ben Crawford
- Ian Cornielle is now Andrea Cornell
- Christy Gundelach is now Christy Crawford
- Jess Murnane is now Jess Murphy
- Thom Murnane is now Tom Murphy
- Paul Murnane is now Scott Murphy
- Tasha Gundelach is now Natalie Crawford
- Eva Gundelach is now Abby Crawford
- Dave Carroll is now Dave Lindsey
- Tim Turner is now Joseph Richardson
- Vanessa Turner is now Vanessa Richardson
- Kevin Gresham is now Kevin Williams
- Elaine Gresham is now Elaine Williams
Character Genders
- Ian Cornielle is now a female detective named Andrea Cornell.
Character Ages
- Thom Murnane was listed as being a 4-year-old, while Tom Murphy was listed as being 5.
- There is an extra "h" in Thom's name, but in both it's a diminutive form of "Thomas".
Location Names
- In the Australian version, Ben Gundelach lives on Blackwood Crescent. In the American version, Ben Crawford lives on Chelsea Bay Drive.
Interesting Notes
- While almost every character in the American version took their first name from the first name of their Australian counterpart, Eva's name was changed to Abby. When Eva is being read her rights, Detective Cornielle declares Eva's full name: Eva Abigail Gundelach. Abby is a diminutive form of Abigail, so in this case, Abby gets her first name from Eva's middle name.
Different Scenes
- The scene in which Dave retrieves the flashlight, after Ben first hides it, in order to dispose of it for good, is missing from the Australian version of the show. In that version, Ben weighs the backpack down by filling it with rocks and then throws it into the river, only to discover that Christy was watching him from a higher vantage point. Dave does play a role in Ben's decision to move the flashlight, though, because originally Ben hides the backpack on a girder in between two floor joists in the crawlspace under the house. After Dave stresses how through the police are in their searches, Ben crawls back under the house with a rag and a jug of gasoline, retrieves the backpack and cleans the flashlight with the gasoline. He then takes the bag and moves it until he realizes throwing it in the river is the only way to fully dispose of it.
- Ben was not stalked, nor was he tortured by a vigilante, in the Australian version of the show. The scene where Ben finds the plethora of flashlights in rows in his garage is also missing, as is the scene in which Christy's car was vandalized.
- In the Australian version, Dave does not come back after having been kicked out by Ben, and Ben is shown cleaning out the guesthouse, where he finds a piece of jewelry Jess lost on the night he and Jess conceived Thom. He later returns it to Jess.
- In the Australian version, Dave slipping a pill into Ben's drink is discussed in much less detail.
- In the Australian version, Ben does not possess Thom's tooth, nor is it ever really revealed why he went to Jess' house after exiting the taxi.
- In the American version, Ben finds Abby's bloodied shoes in an opening to the crawl space. In the Australian version, Ben finds Eva's bloodied shoes buried in her outdoor clubhouse.
The Ending
- In the Australian version, Eva Gundelach is arrested for the crime she committed. In the American version, Abby Crawford (Eva's international counterpart) should have been arrested, but her father, Ben, takes the blame, and serves the time for his daughter.
- A final webisode video for the Australian version shows Ian Cornielle undergoing a physchological examination. The case was especially unnerving to him, and the department wanted to ensure his mental stability wasn't comprised, because they had another case for him, this time with two victims, possibly hinting at a second season.
- A final webisode video for the American version reveals that, more than likely in an altercation between Ben and an inmate who despises child murderers, Ben was murdered in prison. Detective Cornell vows to bring Tom's true killer to justice. The scene then cuts to Cornell confronting Abby, obviously implying she was intent on making Abby pay for the crimes she committed.
