Marlena Confronts Samantha ~ 1977

[@keonta81]

I think this is the first soap to have actual twins playing twins. Usually its one actor playing 2 parts

[@stephaniepage4334]

I agreed

You could always tell them apart. Even their voices are different.

I never thought Deirdre Hall was that impressive an actress, but compared to her sister, she's Garbo. Oh my god, her sister can't act to save her life.

[@curtisdrummerellerbe9544]

@@JoeOConnellAllNew wow that’s mean. At lease she had the Platform and opportunity was so quick to talk about what somebody is not capable of doing at least you tried it and gave it our best and she played several rolls on days of our lives but up until the early 2000s. Some people just don’t want to act and that’s her prerogative she still an amazing person and amazing schoolteacher and everything

@@curtisdrummerellerbe9544 I love Deidre Hall.I was fortunate enough to get her sister,Andrea`s autograph,my cousin worked for a vet in Virginia and Andrea Hall took her dog there. My cousin told her that her cousin (me) adores Deidre Hall and she asked for her autograph. Andrea didnt even hesitate,she said sure. I was beside myself i couldnt believe it. Andrea i dont think cared for acting much but i loved watching her while she was on.I also wish Renee Jones (Lexie) and Jamie Lyn Bauer (Laura Horton) could come back.

[@jad8123]

While I don’t think they’re identical twins they are pretty close to it. Obviously, even then you could tell them apart by their looks and voices. Although, I don’t even think Deirdre Hall sounds the same now as she does in this clip. It was great stunt casting having your real twin play your characters twin. I’m not sure when the twin thing started with actors playing both role(s) so this was at least different. I wasn’t watching the show then but I was aware of the storyline. Does anyone know how long her sister’s original run lasted? I know she came on years later and played Hattie and then finally Deidre took over the role altogether.
