You Might Have an Evil Twin Too!

Many people ask me about English, baby! They ask, “What is it that you do there?" I usually go into some spiel about colloquial English vocabulary being taught via audio recordings and a somewhat convoluted soap opera, on par with R. Kelly’s Trapped in The Closet, if only for the fact that there seems to be no end to the “story” in sight. While my friends find it hilarious to watch the soap videos of their own accord and out of order, those who have delved into the story have one question: “How is it that your character (Beren) didn’t know she had a twin, let alone an evil one?" 

The evil twin story line, to me at least, is crucial to all good soap operas. If I’m not mistaken, Anne Heche played twins (one evil, one good) on Another World. And typically, the evil twin is unknown to the good twin either because of separation at birth or amnesia. I have no idea how Beren didn’t know about the evil Beren. If you have any ideas, let me know.
