History PlayingWith / DoubleInLawMarriage

** The adaptation turned Eileen and Frank's parents in their [[RelatedDifferentlyInAdaptation Uncle and Aunt]], but need to remain blood related.

* '''Enforced''': The writer wants to add another thread to the growing relationship between Carol and David by making them siblings-in-law, with the story culminating in their marriage.

* '''Played for Drama''': [[GenerationXerox Later on, it seems that attraction happening between members of the two families is a trend for both lineages,]] since Alice and Bob's kid [[KissingCousins falls in love with]] David and Carol's kid. This complicates things ''greatly'' since the risk of producing deformed children is enhanced thanks to their [[KissingCousins being double cousins.]] What makes things worse is when their parents try to convince them to break off the relationship, they justify it by bringing up the close bond between the two families, and even use their parents' own marriages as an example.
