I assume it isnrCOt an April FoolsrCO joke.

Cassius is NathanrCOs twin, and now everyone wants to know why Liesl doesnrCOt know and couldnrCOt tell the difference?

DidnrCOt they fingerprint him when he came back, to verify his identity?
Even identical twins have different prints.

I seem to remember there was both a DNA test and fingerprinting upon "Nathan's" return, but I can't be sure now. Of course Sidwell could have arranged to replace Nathan's prints with Cassius's in the PC Police
files. I believe that's been done by other villains in the past.

It's hard to explain how Leisl would not have been able to detect the replacement. Unless as I've theorized previously, Leisl is somehow
unaware of the existence of Nathan's twin, as far-fetched as that
sounds. Leisl might have no reason to be suspicious in that case.

Too bad it wasn't.

But maybe it was. Sort of. Cassius Longinus was the leader of the
conspiracy to assassinate Julius Caesar. Maybe the name hints that fake
Nathan is actually working against Cesar Faison's interests.

Cassius is NathanAs twin, and now everyone wants to know why Liesl doesnAt know and couldnAt tell the difference?

They'll come up with some really inane reason Liesl didn't know, like
Faison cloned the fetus and implanted the clone in a surrogate--Alex
Devane, maybe. Why not? The story train has already gone so far off the
reality rails, they might as well just run it over a cliff and be done
with it.

He was fingerprinted and his dna was tested in the hospital before he
regained consciousness. But they could always explain that away by
claiming something silly like Cesar transplanted Nathan's fingerprints
onto the twin, or the clone, or whatever he turns out to be. Or by
claiming that Gollum and/or Sidwell diddled about with the dna test and
the fingerprint-reading machine or whatever. Anything's possible when
reality's been kicked to the curb.

That's a good possibility. Or maybe Leisl was told the second twin died
(that one has been used before, though I'm forgetting with which baby),
and somehow Leisl has never, ever mentioned that Nathan had a twin who supposedly died.

I'll stick with Cullum or Sidwell somehow switching Nathan's prints for Cassius's in the PCPD files. Nathan and Cassius would have the same DNA,
so no need for subterfuge there.
Or the writers are betting we won't remember that, and it's never
explained.

I think in the rewrite of Jason's birth as twins, Heather told Susan
Moore that the other baby (Drew) had died. It was never explained why
Susan never mentioned carrying twins when she was pregnant, or lamented
the death of the second baby. That's probably what will happen here,
too.

Agree, on both counts.
