Soap opera twins
A soap opera pregnancy can give double the pleasure when there turns out to be double the offspring. At least that seems to be the thinking on many shows.
Sometimes it’s a vehicle for an actor to play a dual role, but this isn’t always the case. Either way, the story possibilities are often compelling or fun, and can open things up a lot for the show. Here are several examples of double the fun siblings.
