Were there any children from these unions who were double-cousins?

Jeff and Fallon are cousins. Messed up huh?

reply

No, I think it's actually exciting.

Porking your own cousin? How is that exciting?

reply

[–] hillbrian2005 17 years ago

No, I mean when siblings date siblings or cousins from ANOTHER family.

Ok you must be talking about Sable and Francesca both marrying Colby men. Sable married Jason and Frankie married Philip. I must have missed an episode, but I don't think Frankie and Philip never divorced. How could she marry Jason?

So, the relationships between the sets of siblings were like a clique.

Sable and Alexis (from DYNASTY) were also cousins.

Jeff and Fallon being cousins did not bother me. Cousins do marry.

But they weren't cousins. Sable was NOT Jeff's mother.

No but Sable's sister was!

Sabella 'Sable' and Francesca Scott were the cousins of Alexis and Cassandra 'Caress' Morrell

Francesca was the mother of Jeff (with Jason Colby)

and Alexis was the mother of Fallon (with Blake Carrington)

As a result Jeff and Fallon were cousins as well as husband and wife (when it suited them!)

Jeff and Fallon were SECOND cousins. Their mothers(Alexis and Francesca)were first cousins. Second cousins marrying is not taboo. Had Cecil Colby actually been Fallon's father, as was feared in the second season of DYNASTY, then they would've been first cousins on their fathers' sides as well.

It'd make a good headline--"PLAYBOY KILLS WIFE WITH CHAMPAGNE CORK!"

But which brothers were married to two sisters?

reply

[–] boinnng 12 years ago

Jason and Philip Colby (brothers) were married to Sable and Francessca (Frankie), who were sisters.

"Jason and Philip Colby (brothers) were married to Sable and Francessca (Frankie), who were sisters."

Add to that mix, Cecil Colby(the 3rd brother) was married to Alexis(Francesca and Sable's cousin).

I thought Miles should've married Fallon's sister Amanda instead of Channing in the 2nd season. That would've continued the family tradition of brothers marrying sisters.

Interesting thought!

My great-grandfather and his brother married a pair of sisters. I think that was more common back in the day. So my grandmother had some double first cousins. Double first cousins share both sets of grandparents and have twice the degree of consanguinity of ordinary first cousins.
