Members All My Shadows Posted June 8, 2008 Members Share Posted June 8, 2008 TVLand aired some brief clips of this a few years ago when they had a show called "My First Time." They had celebrities discussing their first important role, and O'Hurley talked about his LOV role. They had clips of Ted Danson on "Somerset" too. One of my favorite "Dark Shadows" storylines was a parallel time storyline in 1970 about twins Angelique Collins and Alexis Stokes, both played by Lara Parker. Angelique "dies" of a "stroke" during a seance six months before the storyline starts, so when it does start, her husband, Quentin, is married to Maggie Evans. Alexis turns up at Collinwood wanting to know more about her sister's death. Somehow, they went to Angie's tomb and found her body looking the exact same as it did when they buried her. Alexis asked for to be left alone with the body before they burned it, but then Angelique came back to life by draining the life out of Alexis. She put Alexis's body in the coffin and they burned Alexis's body, thinking she was Angelique. Angelique proceeded to masquerade as Alexis, using her powers of witchcraft to stir up all kinds of [!@#$%^&*] around Collinsport, especially driving Maggie crazy.

Members DavidEvanSmith Posted June 9, 2008 Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 AMC has had a lot of them: Adam and Stuart Chandler Kitty and Kelly Cindy and Karen Parker (but it didn't make sense because Parker was supposed to be Cindy's married name) Frankie and Maggie Stone Anna Devane and Dr. Alexandra Devane Marick *There was a rumor once that Marj Dusay was going to play Vanessa's twin, Gwynnie, who was Frankie/Maggie's mom, but they didn't go that route Lookalikes: Natalie and Janet Tad Martin and Ted Orsini Jesse Hubbard and Jacob Foster (Loving/The City) Lily and Ava (Ava was supposed to be an older sister to make the pairing with Jonathan more feasible) Will Cortlandt and the actor hired to impersonate him Loving Jeremy Hunter and evil twin Gilbert GH Kevin/Ryan Benny and Bernie Abrams (Sonny's accountants... Benny's dead) Manuel "Manny" Ruiz and his priest brother (forgot the twin's name) Lookalikes: Luke Spencer and cousin Bill Eckert Holly Sutton had a half-sister Paloma who was a lookalike that ran some country, didn't she?

Members bandbfan Posted June 9, 2008 Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 B&B shouldn't have kept Steffy and Phoebe identical when they had them a few years ago. There are lots of twins that aren't identical and selfishly for the soaps, it makes for much easier casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted June 9, 2008 Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 That actor was married to the actress who played Val in real life, right? I think her name was Lori March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted June 9, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2008 Frannie and Sabrina Hughes are cousins. Frannie's mother is Jennifer(Kim's sister)Bob is both girls father.They were identical when Julianne Moore played a dual role but later two different actresses played the parts.Was this explained in any way?? All that history is being wasted as Jean and Chris ignore these characters. Gordon Rigsby was the first Ian on Secret Storm and Lori March was married to the second- Alexander Scourby. On GL Kevin and Jason are Blake's twin sons by Ross.They should be aged into late teens and brought into the show. I think all the twin characters have been covered or are there any others from long ago that are yet to be mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
