The girls didn’t even look like one another (viaSoaps.com).

The daughters of Ridge Forrester and Taylor Hayes, Steffy and Phoebe also had dramatic childhoods (viaSoaps.com).

They are on a soap opera, after all!

In fact, Steffy fell off a boat when she was a small child and was presumed dead.

It turned out she was kidnapped, and she was eventually reunited with her family.

Sadly, life had other plans for the girls when they grew up.

While Steffy Forrester was still at school, Phoebe managed to get herself into several sticky situations.

She also developed feelings for Rick Forrester (then played by Kyle Lowder).

Her feelings were problematic because he was her uncle, though technically they weren’t related by blood.

The discovery officially dashed any hopes Phoebe ever had of resuming her relationship with him.

At the time, Steffy finally returned from school played by Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (viaSoaps In Depth).

The new casting brought a formal end to the pair’s tenure as identical twins.

Things got complicated between the girls when Rick entered the picture again.

This time, he kissed Steffy, who had no interest in him.

When Phoebe learned what happened, she confronted him.

It wouldn’t quite be the twin experience she had, but it would be close.

What she didn’t know was that the adoption was illegal.

How did that happen?

Liam is also Kelly’s dad.
