i'm interested to see how he is. To me he looks 10 years older than CD though and it's making me question how realistic he'll be in the role.
Well IF this is a recast Chad then isn't the character supposed to be in his mid-late twenties? He's supposed to be a little older than Sonny, right? I think they've aged Will a bit when GW took over the role. Maybe they are possibly aging Chad a couple years as well.
he's supposed to be like 2 yrs older than Will and Gabi. I think younger than Sonny.
Sonny was supposed to be two or three years older than Will (when he was 18). I think Sonny and Chad were supposed to be the same age.

Perhaps Billy Flynn is playing a SORASed JT? (One of my dream storylines is for JT to move in with Hope and become a rookie police officer.)

Or maybe he's playing Andrew Donovan? It'd make sense for Andrew to arrive in Salem now that Theresa and Eve are both in town. (My storyline suggestion: Andrew is an ISA agent, and he comes to Salem to inform Hope that Bo is missing in action and presumed dead. Then Andrew stays in Salem to emotionally support Hope and Caroline, and Andrew helps Caroline run the Brady Pub.)

If this actor is playing Chad, I'll be a little disappointed. I think the Ejabby reveal would have more emotional impact if Chad were played by Casey Deidrick, since Deidrick's Chad has an established on-screen history with EJ and Abby.
How could Andrew be an ISA agent if he was involved in the whole Daysaster mess with Melanie? Does the ISA even care if any of their agents have a criminal record?

Also, what's the deal with the J.T. storyline? All that I know is that I think he was in some part of some baby switch(?) with Zack(?). And what does he have to do with Hope?

She's talking about a different Andrew -- Andrew Donovan, who is Shane and Kim's son and Theresa's older brother. Andrew was born four years before Jeannie/Theresa and was the subject of a major WTD? storyline and then kidnapping in 1986-87.

The Andrew who was involved in stalking and kidnapping Melanie was a different character. It also was revealed that his real name wasn't Andrew.

The full story of who is JT -- It's two pages long!
http://daysofourlives.about.com/od/history/a/babyswitch.htm

Summary of who is JT
http://soapcentral.com/days/whoswho/johnthomas.php

The bottom line is that Hope believed JT to be her son for a long time. And she loved him that way. And when it was discovered he wasn't hers, she was forced to surrender him to his biological father Glen. But she never stopped loving him.
And also Hope got her own child Isaac (nicknamed Zach) back. And she and Bo raised Zack for a few years.

But previously Bo and Billie had a thought-to-be-stillborn-buried-in-a-swamp daughter. -- and she was suddenly revealed to have lived and raised by swamp people. .... and was SORASd to be a teen. (Don't ask).
This was teenaged Chelsea who came to Salem when Zack was a boy. Chelsea was driving one night and accidentally hit Zack with the car and killed him.

After all that, Hope had lost both boys.

Much later ... Hope and Bo conceived Ciara.

You can see why JT is still in Hope's heart.

When Hope was pregnant after having been Princess Gina, Stefano helped Abe & Lexie find a pregnant woman (Margo) to give them a baby. When Stefano learned Hope was in labor, he had Margo induced so the two women would give birth on the same day. Once the babies were born, Stefano switched the babies. Hope named what she thought was her baby, John Thomas (or JT, for short). Margo had been a heavy drinker, and as a result, JT had fetal alcohol syndrome. JT's FAS resulted in many trips to the hospital and major stresses on Hope and John (who everyone thought was the father). Long story short, eventually everyone learned the truth about the baby switch, and Abe & Lexie were forced to give Isaac (who Bo & Hope then re-named Zack) over to Bo & Hope. Meanwhile, JT's biological father and his girlfriend had been looking for him, and Bo & Hope were forced to say goodbye to JT, but because they had taken such good care of him, they were given an open invite to visit him whenever they so desired. At this point, Kristian was getting ready to go on maternity leave, and Hope's temporary exit story was that she & Zack were going to visit JT and be there for him through his latest surgery. (Hope's re-entry story was her being kidnapped by Larry Welch upon her return from visiting JT.)

If someone would have told me back in 2003 that J.T. would not have returned as a teen with attitude by 2014, I would not have believed them.

JT is not Hope's child, there has been no innuendo that Glen and Barb didn't raise him well, and Glen seemed like a good guy and that he could be a very devoted father. The closest comparison to Hope and JT could be the relationship of Abe and Nicole.

Maybe not literally but she thought he was hers for the first two years of his life. It's like saying Grace wasn't Sami's.

Well if one chooses to believe that, then that means that Zack was also Lexie's. It can't be had both ways. If one child is taken from you and another is returned you cannot lay claim on both, only one of them is yours.

I can't say I agree. I mean, yes literally JT is no longer Hope's but I would think emotionally speaking in her heart he is still her's. Same with Lexie when Zack died, I felt like emotionally she'd always have that connection with him.

Well that's what I meant. If they both have it, it's acceptable. It's either/or.

Right...and that's why when Zack died, they actually did a lot of focus on Abe and Lexie's grief, too. I don't think "laying claim" is an appropriate term when it comes to children, but you don't just stop loving a child (or you shouldn't...Days, grrr) when you find out their DNA is different. I think there are plenty of reasons the show could find to have JT wind back up in Hope's life.

I was really pleased with the show for not forgetting Zach's connection to the Carvers. I was almost certain that they wouldn't touch on it.

I distinctly recall there being a scene between Bo, Hope, Lexie & Abe (after Hope forgave Lexie for her part in the baby switch) where Bo & Hope basically said "we know how much you love & adore Zack, and we would love nothing more than if you would continue to be a part of his life".
Glen & Barb kinda left the same sort of invitation for Bo & Hope where JT is concerned. And having good parents doesn't necessarily mean a kid will turn out to be an angel. Just look at Theresa & JJ - both have good parents, but they're troublemakers (or at least JJ used to be, before he was Fetchified).

When you said this, I was reminded that Minnesota's Birth Index is available online. So we now have his birthday, William Michael Flynn, born May 29, 1985.

And a tweet on his page from May 29 confirms it's the right Billy Flynn:

"Heres lookin at you kid! Happy Birthday #BillyFlynn @Billy_M_Flynn"

I'm not going to be able to handle having an actor named Billy Flynn.

It already sounds like he gave James Scott the old razzle dazzle. I'll be doing this forever.

It's not the worst "same name" to happen on the Days cast. One of our recurring actors, Mark Chapman, who played Agent Spector in 2002, was up for the role of John Lennon's killer in an NBC movie and they couldn't cast him because he had the same name as the real-life killer.
