“Triad” was such a challenge for Maite Perroni that she had to undergo therapy after taping the Netflix series.
And it is that, in this fiction, also the actress of “Rebelde” (soap opera that you can watch for free on ViX) took the place of 3 characters: Becca, Aleida Trujano and Tamara, triplets separated at birth. and they meet by chance when the former, a detective, investigates a case.
The series, which also included other Mexican actors in its cast, also gives a lot of talk due to its plot, which is slightly inspired by real events.
‘Triad’: the true events on which the Netflix series is based
The story of triplets separated at birth sounds unlikely enough to be the premise of a TV series… or a real life story?
Although the Netflix series starring Maite Perroni takes a lot of creative license, it is inspired by “Three Identical Strangers,” a 2018 documentary that tells the story of Eddy Galland, David Kellman and Bobby Shafran.
It all started when Bobby entered the university in 1980 and noticed that some students were acting very natural to him, as if they had known him for a long time. The idea that they were just too nice was put aside when one of his classmates asked him if he was adopted and had been born on July 12, 1961, to which he replied yes.
It was at this time that he discovered that he had a twin brother (Eddie) that he had no idea about, but had attended the same school as him, shortly before.
The young man who recognized him took it upon himself to bring them together, and a brotherhood was soon born.
His case became so popular that it was even reported by the press of the time. So a third young man (David) realized that maybe they weren’t twins, but triplets, and he was the brother they needed.
Unsurprisingly, their unlikely story once again made headlines, and once reunited, the siblings made a few appearances on TV shows.
According to “Infobae” (in a note signed in June 2021), the trio became inseparable: they moved into an apartment together in New York and opened a restaurant called Triplet’s in SoHo.
However, things took a turn for the worse over the years: after his heyday in the media and a battle with depression, Eddie committed suicide in 1995.
That same year, according to the Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker revealed that the triplets had not been separated to facilitate their adoption (as the agency had assured them in the first instance), but had been the subject of a study. scientist.
Psychologist Dr. Peter Neubauer wanted to investigate how genetics and sociocultural conditions affect a person’s development, so he devised the idea of giving the triplets up for adoption, placing each one in a different family.
She did this through the Child Development Center and the now defunct Louise Wise adoption agency. To this day it is unknown how many other brothers went through the same situation.
In the years following their adoption, researchers visited the children frequently to document their experiences, although the parents said it was a routine visit.
The only people who have access to the information collected by Neubauer and his team are David and Bobby, as the data is in the custody of Yale University, which will not make it public until 2065 (when, in theory, all subjects investigated have died).
Of course, the brothers could barely see about 10,000 pages of the study, a “heavily edited” copy, which barely allowed them to see that one of the conclusions was that they had a common vision called amblyopia.
Tell us, did you know the story of the triplets separated at birth? Do you think the series “Triad” is more interesting than the actual events that inspired it?
