GH's Lucky Spencer may be the latest soap character to enjoy the benefits of face-dancing as he braves the Irish countryside as his lookalike, Ronan O'Reilly -- but when it comes to doppelganger characters in daytime, there's a long history. From All My Children's Michael E. Knight as Tad and Ted to Stacy Haiduk's work as Y&R's Emily and Patty, the doppelganger storyline has stretched soap actors' skills (and audience belief) for decades.

Thank you iheartsoaps613 . = ) Just wishing they'd remember what families and character made GH, it wasn't Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan. While they certainly were popular and still are...they get way too much focus and NEVER any growth. = ( I miss my original core families! The Cassadine's need a shaking up too-where is VLAD?! So ready for the Spencer family, Liz, and Nikolas to have a great sweeps. Don't know why Laura/Genie hasn't been back yet...it's ridiculous! I like LUke and Tracy, but come on-its LAURA!
BRING BACK GENIE FRANCIS , GH IS THE PITS WITHOUT HER !!!!!!!!!!
Hattie and Marlena from Days of Our Lives & John Abbot and Alistair Abbot from Y&R
ITA! couldn't have said it better myself 777
Hello... What about Marlena Evans and her twin sister, Samantha. They truly were dopplegangers because Sam was played by Dierdra Hall's identical twin.
Super ill about ANOTHER DOPPLEGANGER story on GH. How many has been written now? Sam, Emily, now Lucky...there have been more-its' freak'n SAD what GH has become-a mere shadow of what it used to be. I'm about ready to give up. GH has become all MOB-24/7. The women are all written to be pathetic and jealous, I'm assuming thats how the writers like their ladies. GMAB. Elizabeth is written to have yet ANOTHER PATERNITY SECRET-GMAB. The veterans are spit on basicly unless they are in the mob stories. They really need to look back to the 90's on GH, it was the last time GH was really any good. There is no romance, only sleaze, no substance to any of the characters. Stories are dropped- still haven't forgotten that Tracy figured out that Helena changed the paternity resutls-LAME. We have so much of the original characters with Kimberly, Rebecca H, Jonathan, Tyler, Vanessa, Jane, Tony, Adrienne, John I, John Y, Leslie, etc, and yet all we get is the same characters over and over again. GUZA HAS KILLED GH.
I am glad that Jana is back but she is not the same, poor Kevin let him and Jana have some happiness for once.
I am sick of Patty/Emily saga......Patty has gone too far she is crazy and getting away with too much.....come on writers
Let Jack finally get Emily back if she isn't dead already
I believe Patty killed Adam or mybe he is not dead, no body seen a body. JT is off the chain.....he married into the Newman family he already knew how Victor operated
Victoria is not responsibile for what Victor do. I would like to see her get her son back......that is messed up JT is not a saint...........he needs to grow up. Victoria and Billy will get together they are made for each other
did patty kill adam not nick jr she tride to kill emily
did patty kill adam not nick jr she tride to kill emily
Stories go on and on and on and on. I feel like I waste my time by giving comments.
