Deadly Daughter Switch (as known as Deadliest Switch) is a 2020 Lifetime Made-for-TV Movie directed by Ben Meyerson.The story focuses on two mother-daughter pairs: Brooke (Lindsay Hartley) and Hailey (Tu Morrow), from a wealthy family, plus blue collar single mom Alexis (Hannah Barefoot) and Breanne (Jane Widdop). Their lives get thrown into turmoil when it's discovered that the girls, born in the same hospital on the same day 16 years earlier, were inadvertently switched.

The Sociopath: Alexis counts. She's a Consummate Liar, she steals money from her co-workers without remorse, and also has a violent streak, going all the way back to trying to murder her boyfriend when she was pregnant. | |

Hollywood Law | |
Deadly Daughter Switch / int_3322dd48 | comment |
Hollywood Law: In real life, courts would get involved with the accidental switching of the two girls, but the hospital is presented as the one to help determine the situation, on where the girls stay where they are or decide where to live. Then, on top of that, the hospital ultimately decides to let the girls themselves make the choice. | |

Alexis killing her boss and the dean at the college are never mentioned again, despite the obvious law enforcement investigations they would provoke.note Nick's death going uninvestigated gets explained by Alexis successfully pulling off a Make It Look Like an Accident gambit, and John not reporting it because he himself was trespassing on her property to begin with. | |

Deadly Daughter Switch / int_70c462fb | comment |
AB Negative: Hailey not being the biological daughter of Brooke and Carter is discovered because the blood donor card Hailey got at the school blood drive (which she organized to begin with) doesn't list her type as—yes, AB negative, which is also Carter's type and which Brooke thought was Hailey's type, but O Rh positive instead. | |

Villain Protagonist: Lindsay Hartley (who also co-wrote the screenplay) gets top billing as Brooke, but Alexis ends up getting developed much more as a character, and Alexis is responsible for all the plot developments in the latter half of the story. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Brooke's search for the identity of Hailey's father leads to the death of the dean at the college, at the hands of Alexis. Viv suggesting that Brooke designate Alexis as guardian for the two girls if she and Carter happened to die leads Alexis to plot the murder of the couple, and to Alexis killing Nick when he figures out her plans. | |

The Mockbuster | |
Deadly Daughter Switch / int_b151c937 | comment |
The Mockbuster: The movie lifts the premise of the series Switched at Birth pretty much wholesale (two 16-year-old girls—one rich, one poor—learn they were switched, after the rich girl finds out her blood type doesn't match her parents), but adds a Thriller element involving the moms to the Teen Drama baseline. | |
