I don't want him to disappear - I just want the son thing to have been a mistake. I'd rather see him in storylines with people his own age than tagging John around all the time.
Exactly. Rewrite him as someone else's son, and I'm fine with Paul getting lots of airtime and story.

Keep him as John's son, though, and I want him on the backburner and will give zero fucks about him. I definitely don't want to see him bonding with Brady, John, or Belle. I don't consider him to be a "Black" family member, period.
I don't want another rewrite. I don't care who he bonds with, but I'd like to see issues between him and Belle.

Keep him as John's son, make him Andre/Tony's kid, make him a complete stranger who John just happens to really like and who really likes and respects John, I'll still like him more than I like Brady. IDGAF - just give him a story & move the fuck on.

A rewrite of Paul's father would be glorious imo

Me too. I can't stand that he is John's son. Such a terrible rewrite.

All the time? We must be watching two different shows. Paul and John haven't had a scene together in I don't know how long? In fact, Paul has been on like twice since new years.

Ha, Belle is so wrapped up in her fickle self that she barely acknowledges her own daughter, much less a brother she doesn't know. Out of all of Johns kids, Paul is the only one I actually like.

For fucks sake. Paul? WTF does he have to do with any of this? Why throw him into the mix? When is this ever going to be about John and Marlena? He can go and be bewildered about something else off screen. Don't care.
:blink: Maybe because he's John's son?
And at least Paul is trying to help out his family; unlike that other dimwit Brady that is all tied up in this Summer crap story.
Only it's not Brady's fault. It's the stupidity of the writing. Maybe they would have involved Brady or/and Belle in this story if they hadn't had John's reckoned -son Paul without a story. I think the actor is talented but it was a big mistake to make him John's son with Tori.

I wish TPTB would be more careful about rewriting the history. It's not unheard of in soaps, but it must make sense and they have to know why they need to do it, how it will affect their future stories. Otherwise it only makes their long-time viewers angry.

Even w/o Paul, Brady probably wouldn't be there for his parents. He's isolated in Braniel/Summer crap.

I hate that Brady isn't involved in this story with John. It sometimes is hard to believe that Brady is John Blacks son. John would be so suspicious of Summer yet Brady is completely clueless.

I actually thought about this last night and I think Paul has seen John and Marlena three times since August. The last was Thanksgiving lol

I was wondering if J&M get mixed up in this later on. Which sucks because I hate the Summer story but it seemed there were Marlena Theresa scenes coming and Alla posted that picture with Drake and she said she was in the Summer story. Maybe he's smart enough to realize this is a scam. Theresa also won't get help from anyone on this. Brady's a moron and Maggie will think summer's her daughter. So maybe Theresa drags them into it

But yes, Brady couldn't we written less like John's son. (Although for some reason this reminds me a little of John instantly trusting Greta and Marlena hating it thinking she was involved with Stefano)

Making Paul some sort of DiMera plot would have been fun. I really thought last year he was going to be John's kid that was the stolen sperm from Maison Blanche route we talked about here for a while. That would have been more believable than the weekend with Tori lol

John in the 90s (with Kristen/Susan) wasn't especially smart either. How could he even imagine Kristen would wear THAT outfit for her wedding lol.

LOL I thought about including that but didn't because at least we had the basis for Kristen being a 'good' person (but John was dumb as a rock once she lost that baby lol) Summer reminds me more of the Greta situation because they both showed up out of the blue and they both instantly trusted these strange women lol

Weird writing decisions.

The new regime isn't good at writing family stuff in general, eg.Steve/Adrienne, Brady/Eric/Belle, Eric/other family members, Lucas/Jennifer, Shawn/Hope, Shawn/Ciara, Justin/Philip and the list goes on.

I thought Paul/John met once in early December to discuss Winterbourne stuff and that's when A got involved but it's been a long time, regardless.

I think that was Thanksgiving when he told him his classmates dad went to Winterthorne and was in Salem and that's when John found out about Eduardo. I agree though, either way it's been a long time

This is one of the things that frustrates me about DAYS. They haven't built up a younger set to take over adventure storylines. Those were my favorite stories I think. Of course DAYS didn't make the ISA as important as the WSB was on GH, but that is something I think GH does better. They have involved at least to a certain extent the younger set in the parent's adventure stories. Robin was a doctor, but was still involved when Anna and Robert came back briefly several years ago. And when Luke and Laura had a brief adventure when TG left Lucky and Lulu were involved. You don't even have to make the younger actors secret agents to involve them in the stories, but I would prefer they did that to a degree.

I was actually thinking about this because I keep seeing all these vets doing adventure stories on DAYS and I think WTF? Why would anyone want to see that? But then I think if it were reversed and we were looking at GH I would definitely want to see Anna and Robert in an adventure story, but the difference is that it isn't JUST about Anna and Robert. It does involve the younger characters. At least to a certain extent. I just really want to see something that DAYS will never give me. It's like a craving that will never get satisfied. I love all the secret agent stuff, but I don't want to see another John and Marlena story. I think it's time to move on and bring in some fresh blood. And that is what I think is really wrong with DAYS. They go to one extreme or another. It's either all vets all the time or get rid of them all. I still want them around, but I don't want them to drive story. Neither do I want them to bring on completely new characters that I have no connections to. They have plenty of legacy characters that they could use for this - JJ, Eric, Brady, Shawn - just to name a few. I think the 80s adventure stories were successful for a reason, but you can't replicate that with recycled vet stories. I think they need to take the legacy characters they have and create some adventure around those characters. It really isn't that hard. They are just too stupid to do it.
