Who's Your Daddy?: Difference between revisions

* On ''[[The Secret Life of the American Teenager]]'', there were two candidates for the father of Anne's son: George, her ex-husband and her new boyfriend. The boyfriend had been told he was sterile, but George had gotten a vasectomy years earlier, so everyone assumed that the boyfriend was, in fact, not sterile and the father. Then George confessed that he had lied about getting a vasectomy. This led the boyfriend to conclude that George was the father. The boyfriend [[Put on a Bus|broke up with Anne and left]] and that was that. There was a brief instant right after the baby was born where George wasn't sure if the baby looked like him, but that was quickly dropped. They never did a DNA test, but the show has made it clear that George is the father.

* ''[[Hollyoaks]]'' did a rather convoluted plotline where the mother of the child had a serious relationship with the guy who WASN'T the father, but he was the only one who knew that he wasn't the father. Then the mother died and left him the baby, and he got together with the dead mother's sister (I know, c'est la [[Squick]]) and their relationship ended horribly. So then they had a big custody war over the baby because of the complicatedness.

* ''Nip/Tuck'' has this with {{spoiler|Julia}} and the paternity of {{spoiler|Matt}}. After finding out that {{spoiler|Christian}} is his father, due to a one night stand before {{spoiler|Julia's}} wedding to {{spoiler|Sean}}, she hides it from her husband. She reveals it to her son's father, her son, and her husband (in that order) causing her husband to kick her out. Her husband doesn't treat her son any differently and eventually forgives both his wife and his son's father for the affair.

* The central concept of ''[[My Two Dads]]'' - the mother died without knowing who the father was, and a judge ruled both potential fathers had to raise the daughter together. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
