Soap families who look alike/nothing like each other
Which soap familes look like they are actually related and which don't.
The King brothers are all very different. |

The Websters on Corrie all look like they could be related. Especially Sophie and Kevin! (Are they really father and daughter? I would not be surprised!) - but most of the families on Corrie just look really randomly assembled. I mean, does Eileen look like she could have produced either Todd or Jason?
![]() Hollyoaks and Eastenders are pretty good with casting siblings; the McQueens, Ashworths and Deans all look alike, and I thought the Millers and Slaters did too. Emmerdale is rubbish for it though! The Kings look NOTHING alike - how is Carl randomly fair when the others aren't? Dawn and Jamie weren't simliar, but Jamie does look like Bob. (well, I gave that too much thought, didn't I? )

The Deans in Hollyoaks, especially the boys, do look kinda similiar - it's a shame though that they sound so different!

Gail looks like Audrey. |

In Home and Away, the Hunter kids look alike, and they all look like their mother, Beth, particularly Scott and Robbie.

I always thought that Susan Tully and Todd Carty were well cast as brother and sister in Eastenders.

Lauren Branning in EE looks nothing like anyone in her family, but Tanya and Abi are a good match. As are Bradley and Max.
The Beales are particularly good, Bobby looks like a mini Ian. |

I think that Darren Miller looks like his dad, Keith Miller. Carly and Deano Wicks dont look anything like each other though!

Eastenders
Lauren Branning has dark brown hair while Max has ginger hair and Tanya has blonde hair. Or is it genetic? Or is Lauren not Max's? That said though, Abi and Tanya could easily pass as mother and daughter in real life. Same with Max and Bradley. I think Stacey could have quite easily have been the sixth Slater sister rather than just a cousin. Although Stacey and Sean don't look alike. Ben Mitchell doesn't look like Phil or Kathy, in my opinion. I think the Millers, especially Mickey, Demi (although they're brother and sister in real life) and Dawn all looked like they could have been Rosie's kids. I suppose Darren does as well. Keith's just stinky Keith Emmerdale As said earlier the King brothers don't look nothing alike. Grayson and Rosemary aren't really believable as mother and son. I think there is only 11 years between them in real life. Same with Audrey and Gail off Corrie, there's only 8 years between them in real life and I don't find them believable as mother and daughter. I didn't think Terry and his dad looked a lot alike either. Carrie and Scarlett, Viv and Donna, Val and Sharon all look like they could be mother and daughter in real life. Corrie Tracy and Amy, Deirdre and Blanche all look they could be mother and daughter. I often forget Maria and Kirk are brother and sister. Cilla, Chesney and Fiz are good casting too. I remember seeing a picture of Freddie and he looked a lot like Ashley

That often happens in big families, it's not weird at all that one of them is fairer. I have 4 big bros and a little sis and none of us look alike at all. One of my bros is quite fair, and my little sister is fair but the rest of us are all dark, and none of us look alike really. I don't think it's unrealistic, i think it's more about the chemistry a family has that makes it realistic. Lol, and you could argue that each King bro looks like a cross between one of the other 2. Carl has features that are small and close together. Matt has features that are big and close together. Jimmy has features that are big and wide apart. Max had features that were sort of in-between sized and wide apart. So it's sorta realistic, lol. I think like you, I thought about that way too much.

I always thought the Cottons were well-cast.
John Altman really does almost scarily look like a combination of June Brown & Christopher Hancock. |

Bianca Jackson? Obviously Jim has a recessive red hair gene which explains her and Bradley and Max.

Janae and Janelle from Neighbours (or whatever their names are) and the girl who was swapped with Brie are good lookalikes I think.
Shadrach and Chas from Emmerdale is a bit hard to believe. |

I used to think that the original Sarah Louise Platt looked a lot like Martin, but she wasn't supposed to be his genetic daughter.

Do you have a different regional accent, though?

I am blonde, my younger sister is brunette and my even younger brother is strawberry blonde(ginger). We all look very different. They both also have quite strong Welsh accents, whereas I am very English. I have a different father from the other two. Which is the case with most of the McQueens, Jaqcui and Mercedes have the same father as do Carmel, JP and Michaela, then there's Tina.
