Well, naturally. But because Reva was the center of the universe, of course her kids pretty much just thought she was great. I think that's part of the reason they just disappeared, TIIC were afraid to write that natural conflict, not realizing it really could've generated powerful moments.
Honestly, in retrospect...WTF did CBS think Bell Sr was going to do with either an extra half hour of B&B or another half hour show? May he rest in peace, but by then, B&B was already well into recycling their storylines and stuck the triangle from Hell (Brooke/Ridge/Taylor) in an endless Groundhog Day. This I know, because I was the sucker who thought that Ridge would honestly just [!@#$%^&*] choose Brooke, instead of saying all the right things to her and trudging back to Taylor's sour-faced bed.
Not to mention Reva was with Billy's half-brother, who she "fell in love with" while married to HB and thinking Kyle was also HB's son. RME.
I can't speak for other P&G shows, but ATWT was the king of the endless maze of family dating the same people. Poor Rick...he was probably really close to getting a sibling/cousin when Mike married his mother Leslie.
Dylan at least started out with more Billy and Reva similarities. He was stubborn and argumentative, prone to act without thinking, etc. But Englund (imo) didn't have the type of charisma to keep pulling that attitude off.
