You know, I've always wanted a story for Hope in which she learned more about Addie.

That'd be one way to kill Jope forever.

Did I miss something? (It's quite possible, because I've only been reading select threads -- keeping up with everything all of the time on this awesomely active site can be extremely time-consuming!) Are they casting John's mother, or has there been some sort of spoiler about his parentage being explored when he returns? Or is this just a random speculation thread that cropped up just because?

I'm only asking because of Jason's post in this thread, which seems to lend some credence to the possibility that such a storyline could be occurring next year.

I thought we already knew that Vivian was his aunt. This would mean his mother was kin to Vliv.

It would be nice if they did revive his Alamain roots.

It was spoiled in one of the interviews Eric Martsolf gave. It is discussed there: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/topic/8865304/3/

It has to be someone not related by blood to the people he, Brady and Belle have slept with.

Thanks -- that was indeed one of the interview threads that I hadn't bothered to read.

thank goodness!! I'm SO glad it turns on John's "mother" isn't his mother. Also this means Santo isn't John's father either if he doesn't have any Brady or Dimera ties. As it should be. I can't say they always listen to us, but I'm SO glad they seem to have retconned Santeen!! Now I can officially erase it from my memory (depending on how much they force us to relive again).

Ugh ... Santeen! The horrible storyline that made everyone in Salem related, gutted the character of John Black, and killed poor sweet Grandpa Shawn. Once again, for what purpose, to put the network's darlings, Ali and James, in another front burner storyline, despite the fact that neither of them can do a foreign accent to save their lives. It's like watching Rebel Wilson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers' abysmal American accents on their new shows.

I'm cool with a rewrite on all of that, but it still has to be acknowledged on the show, in the storyline. I hate that throughout the entire Bristen storyline, no one acknowledged that Brady was technically more of a DiMera than Kristen was. Hadn't she been going by Kristen Blake when she left town and she came back last year as Kristen DiMera, Stefano's daughter. Never once was her brother Peter mention, but was technically the only real basis for her friendship with Jennifer. It's just sloppy when a show does not make connections to its history.

I'm not cool with this John's mother redo if it only serves to pair addict Brady to addict Theresa. Addict Brady might be fun to watch. I'd love to see him angry and ruthless and a hot mess any day over his love sick puppy addiction that turns him into a complete tool. There's not a lot of emotional complexity to be explored by the writers so it will be fun to watch him spiral out of control. Hopefully by the time it's time to redeem him, there will be new, better writers on board who can develop him into a complex character. I'm sure EM is getting sick of playing the same character he played on Passions.

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

I'm starting to wonder if Santeen will be totally rewritten and the show will reveal that Stefano and Ej made up the entire story to lure Sami over to the Dimera side under false pretenses. In the end, they'd have to explain how Shawn remembered Colleen, but they can easily say that Stefano implanted something in Shawn for him to go with the story. It could be revealed that it was even in the plan to actually have Shawn die for fear of him revealing that it was all a hoax. It's something they could do easily and it would make the most sense if they are going to throw that shitty story out the window. Good riddance, probably the greatest piece of garbage this show ever created....

That said, I would like this show to once do something just to benefit the show and not for a plot point to pair a character with someone else.....which seems to be the case with Brady and Theresa....let's hope we are all wrong.

And again I wonder if that is part of what MarDar had planned - that Ian was actually the son of Santeen and John was not a DiMera at all (yes please...let's make him an Allemain again!!).

I'm looking forward to how this one plays out!

Oh, and Jason47, on being a "brand" - :hail: Yes, yes you are!! :hail:

AS thought John and Hope found out that John wasn't santeen's child, so I wonder if that's Hope's story? I don't think we're going to see a retcon of all of santeen, though. I think it's going to be all about John, who wasn't even part of the story at first, so it won't be that hard to take him back out. And if Days was planning on doing this, you would think they would have reminded the audience of John's paternity by taking advantage of the points in the story where it would have made sense to reference his Brady/Dimera genes.

I don't think they'd bother to undo Santeen since John was like an add on at the end and definitely not an integral part. They can easily undo John's parentage without having to re-write much.

The canvas really isn't in the right place for it, because we're missing a lot of important people, but there are a lot of stories that could naturally result from Brady and Theresa getting together and enabling each other.

S loves EJ


I donīt think they would rewrite Santeen as long they are Writing for Ejami, or there is hope for Ejami since it established them as soulmates.

So he is saying a lot of sex and so is Jen. Does really sound like Brady and Theresa will be hooking up and having a lot of sex together. I'm all for that if they aren't related and I still don't understand how they are related?

They're currently related because Brady's grandmother and Theresa's grandfather were brother and sister. But obviously, that's about to change.

Hot damn! I am one happy camper about this as I HATED that Santeen crap. You know, like Luving Lumi said, I wondered even as that story aired if it wasn't all just a made-up hoax to force Sami into marrying EJ. And I extremely disliked how it all made John related to practically everyone in Salem, thus limiting the potential romantic partnerships for his kids, among other reasons.
