Any thoughts on the photo McLean found with a man with his arm around his grandmother who looked the spitting image of the newly married man and the police constable?

From this I figured Tony's Gran was not married to the father of her child.

I thought it meant that Tony's grandfather may be a twin as there are two men in the picture that look like Tony. Unless I read it wrong.

I think twins too, if they both looked alike.

I also thought twins.

I got the impression that Tony and his father looked like the man with his arm around his grandmother, not that his 'grandfather' looked like them so I don't see twins. My first thought was that obviously this man was his father's biological father, I did wonder if it could be Barnaby Smythe.

I thought a long lost brother of Tony's father -- maybe his actual biological father?

>6 Andrew-theQM:. I also thought the man grandma married did not look like McLean or his dad, but the other man in the photo was the spitting image of them. Looks like grandma did not marry the father. I didn't think the men were related, but it could be.

>6 Andrew-theQM: I thought that too, that when he first looked at the photo, it was his grandfather and Smythe. I think I read too fast the stuff about the look alikes and all of that. I missed something for sure.

>6 Andrew-theQM: I was thinking along the same lines.
