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.

These two are still little, but their storyline potential is increasing now that there’s trouble on the home front. Lily wants to model – will the kids start acting out because she isn’t around as much?
