Did I miss something? With the last re-write of John's parentage I thought Colleen Brady (sister to Shawn Brady Sr.) and Santo Dimera (father of Stefano) were John's parents??? :shrug:

Then Colleen left him in an orphanage, and when she came back to get him he was adopted by the Alamains?

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.
Ohhh ok. That was driving me crazy so thank you for clarifying :cheers: .

I'm all up for seeing if Brady and Theresa click. Theresa and JJ just don't work for me at all so I'm glad to see they may not be going there after all. This makes so much more sense. Both are druggies and both have gone down bad paths. I just hope this isn't another typical train wreck for Brady. I'd like to see him in a stable relationship for once.

A Brady & Theresa relationship would have disaster written all over it.
-Brady is on the rebound
-He's a recovering addict that's probably on the verge of using again.
-Theresa is recovering from an overdose.
-She's a loose cannon with no scruples.

It does have disaster written all over it, which is why I'm kinda excited by the prospect of it.

Let's just make John one of the Banks quints and be done with it.
He had sex with Susan when he thought it was Kristen. That would be so nasty. :lol:

Me too. Two impulsive addicts who've hit rock bottom? Kim's daughter with her ex brother's son? With Victor's grandson? Sounds glorious TBH.

Unless it turns out to be Vivian, I don't want yet another retcon of The John Black Story. The Colleen-Santo storyline was bad enough, creating "Ryan Brady" for all of what, 6 episodes before fading away. The Alamain storyline at least made some sense.

Besides John Black is "in his 60s", so they would need rather significant older female character actress. The women of primetime 80s soapdom are into their 70s, but I don't think I would buy Donna Mills. Michelle Lee, Abby Dalton, Jaclyn Smith, Lindsay Wagner, or Joan Collins as mama to John Forrest Ryan Brady Alamain Black.

And if they have landed some other aging daytime diva (hmm, Susan Flannery), would they really waste her on Marlena's mother-in-law?

Now maybe a two-week stuntcast of Sophia Loren as long-lost Philomena would rattle some ratings.....

Are you frickin' kidding me? MORE John Black origin story "twists?"

Jeez, writers. Let it die. Let it go. Create new characters that are compelling and you won't have to shuffle the parents to make sure there's no incest going on.

And Santo and Colleen....I hated that crap, I thought it ruined the entire Dimera/Brady feud and the character of Stefano. But it is what it is, at some point.

Whatever they do I'll be shocked if they get that deep with it. John's been off canvas for a long time, during a story he probably should have been part of. I can't imagine them devoting significant brainpower to the question of who his mommy is. For real this time (most likely).

I HATE that they are re-writing John's paternity yet AGAIN, but let's be honest, it needs to be done. John as a Brady and a DiMera was just stupid and caused way too much confusion as far as pairings/relations go. I'd love for John to be an Alamain, just like it used to be, but then I'd be wanting Vivian back even more than I do now :(

They are totally doing this to pair up Brady and Theresa. Both actors said that "lots of sex" is coming up for both of their characters, and it's been spoiled by quite a few other actors that Eric Martsolf is doing a lot of scenes with the younger crowd. Things could get interesting considering both of them are addicts...

Just PLEASE don't let Maggie be John's mother. I don't need another EggBaby on my screen.

I wish they didn't change a thing. For me John being Stephano's half brother was brilliant. If they actually went on with the storyline instead of droppin it, it could have explained Stephano's hatred and obsession with revenge against the Bradys stemming from his childhood when he learned of his father's infidelity while his mother was on her deathbed. Marlena being a Dimera by marriage is brilliant too. The feud could still be there, only it would be in the family. Good Dimeras vs. The Phoenix. Running away with my imagination here...

I thought we already knew that Vivian was his aunt. This would mean his mother was kin to Vliv.
Not anymore she's not.

I want it to be old Philomena... or twist... Vivian is his mother. She was young and passed the baby to her sister to raise. J&M find out on an adventure to find Orpheus, who's sent them hints that they forgot something when Marlena returned to John on the pier. Hello, long lost child that obviously exists.
At this point, Vivian is still his aunt because the Alamains still adopted him. I don't want her to be his mother because it's already weird that she has one random son when so much of her original story had to do with the fact that she didn't have her own son.

I almost just don't really even care who his mother is as long as it's not Colleen. The whole idea that he was Stefano's brother never made a lick of sense. And connecting him to the DiMeras wasn't some new brilliant idea since they'd already thought at one point that he might be Stefano's son. The feud is still there regardless of John's parentage.

Hell, the DiMera/Brady feud was never a big mystery. It was all over Roman who pursued Stefano to bring him to justice during Stefano's 1st stint in Salem. Stefano killed Roman (or so believed at the time), launching the Brady hate (compounded with the Marlena obsession). I don't know why they tried to turn it into some big secret thing after that.

I'm totally here for the Brady/Theresa trainwreck. They're a couple that you're not supposed to root for but you end up loving them for it. They won't made of glitter and sparkles (like other couples I won't name here), and there will be low expectations from both of them. Probably means tptb won't keep trying to convince us that they're meant to be. Plus they're both a hot freaking mess. Add on similar ISA Daddy issues and their family ties....I'm actually excited for the potential.
