The only issue is Stefano's hate toward John was tied into him being Ryan. But I could buy either Stefano fabricating it to hurt the Bradys (I hated him crying over Santo and whatever happened to being the sveenth son of the seventh son? Bitches) or Stefano being fooled by Colleen's incorrect facts and/or lies.

If I were John I am not sure I would believe anything anymore since it has changed so many times.

Honestly, I wish they'd just change who is John's mom. I like John's DiMera connection because of the rivalry with Stefano. Based on what EM said, it sounds like they're changing both unfortunately.

She didn't have to lie. She could have been mistaken. It had been 50+ years since she last saw Ryan. Did any of the Bradys have their DNA compared to John's or did they just accept the word of a (possibly senile) stranger?
Yeah, I don't think it's very hard to retcon this. They can just say Colleen had bad information about who Ryan was or she simply was senile. I mean, she's about the only reason why they think John is a Santeen baby, right? By soap opera standards, it's a pretty easy re-write.
Well, I hope so. I have no attachment to that whole hideous Santeen mess.

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.
Well, Brady is actually only 21... Why they recast him with a 40 yr old actor is beyond me.
b/c they don't care about true character age. I mean JJ's only like 8. And EJ's about 16.

There are very few characters who haven't been massively sorased. Abby's a weird one where they sorased her and then desorased her.

seriously. He should be given a monologue where he is allowed to say something like "I am John Black my past does not define me, I do".

No it wasn't. Stefano had no idea that John was his brother, or that Colleen even had a child. All that came out while Stefano was in a vegetative state. When Stefano found out, he was pissed.

I just don't understand why they can't at least try to be a little consistent. What would be so hard about that? It just makes me crazy. And it's one of the reasons soaps aren't taken seriously.

No, it wasn't. Stefano didn't even know John was Ryan. RoboJohn told him when he was in the lucid coma. That's another reason that story was so dumb. It didn't actually explain anything.

Exactly. Didn't Stefano hate John first because he was supposed to be Roman? And then just kept on hating him after he wasn't anymore? Or am I missing something?

Nope. That's right. Also, I'm not entire sure Stefano was even around for the bulk of RoJohn's initial story. It was all about Victor who had custody of "The Pawn" (hence while the RoJohn/Isabella romance was problematic for a while). Stefano's animosity against John AS John didn't really happen until his romantic obsession over Marlena began in the 90s (because I don't believe his torment of Marlena previously had been anything to do with romance, just a transferred revenge ploy extending from Roman) alongside his desire to see Tony/Kristen married while John proved to be an obstacle for.

This show loves to make up new explanations out of thing air for things that have already been explained. lol

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

EM hinting they are undoing both leads me to believe they will say the entire story was a hoax by Stefano and Ej. It's the easiest way to go back to what it was before without coming out with a new mother for John, etc

I think it was a good idea to rewrite the root of the Dimera/Brady feud, because the original story was a flimsy explanation for a 30 year long story. Days should have just stuck with the initial story that Pete Brady killed santeen.

There was never any reason to make up a Brady-DiMera feud origins story. We saw the origin as it happened. Stefano was a criminal who came to Salem and was investigated by Roman Brady. It was as simple as that. Santeen ranks right up there with the stupidest stories that Days has ever done. If the writers are really fixing that mess then I am very pleased.

The writers seems pretty committed to Ejami, so I seriously doubt they would do that it would be pretty impossible for Sami to forgive that at least in the nearest future. If it would be a hoax it would be all Stefanoīs doing without EJīs knowledge, unless EJ would find out about it now and keep quite, but I donīt see him knowing all along. Still I Think it more likely they will make someone else Santeens baby, maybe Ian and maybe the new character that will be coming to town with a son and a mysterious past is his son. The show needs more Dimeras now when Kristen gone that can fight with EJ over the Dimera legacy.

I know the original story, and as I said, I think it was flimsy, and that it makes no sense that Stefano would dedicate decades of his life and of his children's lives to trying to destroy some random cop.

I agree that they are probably changing this to pair Brady and Theresa.
Two addicts together, that's going to end well...
Based on other interviews, I'm getting the sense that Theresa is gonna become the town slut and Brady will be only ONE of the men she's hooking up with. If she's not related to them, she's gonna shag them.
