Depends on how it's done. I liked in (don't laugh) General Hospital back in the day, when Stefan and Alexis had grown up together but didn't find out they were actually siblings until adulthood (Alexis had been raised as an "orphaned distant cousin" to hide their father's infidelity IIRC). It worked for me because a) that family had already been established as crazy enough to lie to a child about her own identity for years on end and b) it built on the existing relationship between Alexis and Stefan. On the other hand, I HATED the introduction of their other sister, Kristina, because it came out of nowhere and completely contradicted everything that had been written about Alexis' history up to that point, for no apparent reason.

The only other place I remember seeing it in canon is SVU, which sucked. Too many coincidences. The guy who raped her mother JUST HAPPENED to find out he'd gotten her pregnant, and JUST HAPPENED to "keep track of" (stalk the fuck out of) the child from afar while married and raising another family, and JUST HAPPENED to have saved some newspaper clippings from when Olivia made the high school honor roll or some shit, and JUST HAPPENED to have a son whose DNA JUST HAPPENED to be in the system for reasons that were totally not his fault when Olivia JUST HAPPENED to illegally run her own DNA looking for potential relatives? So stupid. If they had to give Liv a half-sibling, I wish they would have set it up they way they set up the red herring with Vivian Arliss. At least that made some sense--not much, but more than this.
