It's a possibility, but it's not 100%. I think, from what I remember, the rate of deformities in children of sibling incest relationships was around about 9 - 11 % (as compared to 2% in non-related couples, and 4% in cousins)
Nico should have so many problems and having supposedly lived on the street should be ill, as a child of incest has a terrible immune system. Especially considering that Sienna and Dodger are twins!
and a "chance meeting"..... They're really insulting the intelligence of their audience.
Although his parents are brother and sister, they won't have inherited exactly the same genes from their parents. No siblings, not even twins, are exactly alike. I have dark hair and so does my partner, but our son is blonde (it's from my mother's side). He has blue eyes, his sister has brown.
This storyline is beyond stupid. Like you wouldn't remember the face of a man who put his penis in you.
Interesting figures, thanks for that.
I don't know much about genetics but my limited understanding also says that it increases the risks but doesn't make deformity a certainty. Even back in the days where in breeding was virtually common place (cousins marrying cousins marrying cousins so the link became greater with each generation) there only tended to be one out of several children born into a family that had problems.
Fraternal twins don't actually have any closer dna link than normal full siblings as they are result of 2 sperms impregnating 2 eggs rather than one egg splitting after fertilization. So that figure of 9 to 11 per cent would be the pertinent one.
Seriously, this soap is becoming what the soap "Passions" became in the US before it got cancelled. Oh wait, no it isn't yet. We need someone to be a hermaphrodite and have sex with their father.
hahaha
As they are obviously not identical twins they are just brother and sister genetically. there is no difference between them and any other full siblings.
That isn't the reason why.
Hmm... Interesting. They could do that, and just retcon (again) any knowledge of Anna knowing him.
But this is probably what they will do instead...
I suppose the only way you can rationalize it is that any twinge of recognition they had they put down to the twin shared psyche thing (even though there is no more link between fraternal twins than other siblings) and subconscious memory from their time together when they were babies.
It's a huge leap though. I certainly remember what the boys I just kissed looked like when I was 14 years old and that is 30 years ago, not 15. I also facially don't look very different - older obviously but obviously the same person.
surely Dodger would remember seeing Patrick at least, he's not exactly forgettable. this doesn't make sense at all.
Did he mention having seen the headmaster? Have to rewatch. It's possible that Patrick saw him (we all know what he's like for skulking) without Dodger seeing him. You'd think Dirk would have met the headmaster of the school he was working at though and recognised him.
There are more holes in this than a lump of swiss cheeze!
He said he did not see the dad luckly as it saved him a akward chat (ironically)
