Sisters (Channel 10 2017, Lucy Durack, Maria Angelico)

In drama series Sisters Julia Bechly has her life changed forever when she discovers that her dying father, world famous IVF fertility specialist doctor Julius Bechley, made a regular habit of using his own sperm and has technically fathered hundreds of children.

Despite the shock Julia decides to invite all of her “siblings” to a giant family party. She is more than a little surprised to learn that she has hundreds of brothers but she only has two sisters – lawyer Edie Flanagan and kids TV star Roxy Karibas.

It’s Julia’s relationship with these two new found sisters that drive the drama.
