Quote from: Amy Jennings Fan on March 08, 2005, 07:30:13 PMThe name Thomas does mean twin.Naming the character Tom with twins in mind presupposes that they planned ahead to introduce Tom's look-alike brother Chris somewhere down the line - but that's not actually the case. It was the fan response to Don Briscoe that caused the DS PTB to bring him back in another role.
The name Thomas does mean twin.
I know based on Tom's tombstone and Chris's later statement that he first changed on the full moon following his 21st birthday which was 7 years previously, that makes Chris approximates 3 years older.
Does anyone know of brothers or sisters, born 3 years apart, who look identical? Just curious.
But let's face it - the reason Chris and Tom happen to look identical is because they're played by the same actor.
No, but there is precedent on TV: The Patty Duke Show predates the premiere of DS by three years. Patty Duke played identical cousins ( ) Patty and Cathy Lane.

Just curious.In one of the many discussions about this issue, one member mentions how he and his brother (non-twins) have often been mistaken for each other. Non-twin brothers can and sometimes do look amazing alike. But let's face it - the reason Chris and Tom happen to look identical is because they're played by the same actor.Â
