Twin Studies
It’s been a minute. Tonight I went to see Three Identical Strangers. I won’t spoil it too much, but it deals with twin studies. Of course, I sat in the theater thinking of Beverly Hills, 90210, specifically when Brandon and Brenda participate in one in Season 1. It’s kind of a classic, because the episode is the first time we meet Denise Dowse, only she isn’t playing Mrs. Teasley. She plays Professor Strathmore. The interesting thing is that they must have liked both Denise Dowse and the character name, because they returned later on. Denise Dowse obviously returns as the iconic West Beverly administrator. And when Brenda has a pregnancy scare after the Spring Dance, she visits a gynecologist named Dr. Strathmore, which honestly fascinates me, and leads me to believe one of the writers knew a Dr. Strathmore. It was obviously no mistake, but an homage to him or her. Right?
