Copycats

I suspect that in both cases the scriptwriters had thought about how to get a high-profile story line – but it makes me laugh that both soaps had come up with the same basic premise…
They could always have kept it sufficiently different by – oh, I don’t know – having the parents prosecuted for leaving children aged 2 and 3 alone (or isn’t that illegal in Portugal)?
