Have you ever noticed how in some latin soap operas the children seem like clones of their parents?
In today's episode of the Telenovelas Clichés series, we'll revisit the most famous (and sometimes absurd) cases where the same actor played both generations, changing only an accessory or hairstyle!
From plot conveniences in "Kassandra" to curious choices in "The King of the Cattle," we'll discuss this "penny-pinching genetics" of the small screen.
