[@Luchik44]

Jimmy (played by Michael J) is adopted, which explains why the parents are much older - they are adoptive parents. It’s likely they couldn’t have biological kids and decided to adopt in their 40s. His older brother was not adopted likely because of separation due to separate foster parents. It explains the parents reaction to when Jimmy told them he found his brother (“are you sure he is your brother?” Instead of “omg! Our lost other son!!”) Jimmy grew up to be a bit spoiled as the parents seem wealthier. The older brother grew up different. Shows a bit of a wealth stratification/class. I guess fate brought them together, which is the only thing that can explain Jimmy’s silly conflict with him from the start and wanting to fight him 1-1 later 😅 My only issue is that they look nothing alike !

I love the backstory you created for them - it makes complete sense! The only problem I had with the story is Jimmy never took ownership of his behavior and never offered an apology for it. His attitude was basically, "this is just who I am, so if you want your brother, live with it".
