Readers were shocked on Friday when John revealed he was really Roman Brady! Or is he? John has a tendency to find out he is someone different from what he was and then finds out that was a lie and finds out he is a totally different person. Well, readers can rest assured, that is finally coming to an end. The headwriter tells us that John is completely and entirely Roman.... that answers one big question that has been asked for years and years and years "Who is John Black?" but it leaves so many little questions, such as "Why did he thinks he was other people?" or "Then who on Earth is the guy we thought was Roman?!" but the headwriter reassures us that all of these questions will be answered in due time.

"There were tons of reasons why I made him into Roman. One reason is that it would finally provide closure on who John is, and this twenty year mystery can FINALLY be put to rest. Another reason is that alot of viewers never felt that Josh Taylor is Roman, just because alot liked Wayne and Drake better as Roman, another reason that really impacted on this is that Roman wasn't Josh's first role on Days, he also played back in the seventies and eighties Chris Kostichek, and spent ALOT of time playing the character, therefore for people who have been watching for a long time have it sticked in their heads that Josh is Chris. I am one of those people. It would also explain why Marlena never had the love for Faux Roman that she had for John, because he is the first and only love of her life, Roman. The last reason is that it would just flat out make the most sense for John to be Roman than any of these other people he has been like Forrest Alamain, or Daphne DiMera's son! Roman was the identity that,in my opinion, made the most sense for John, the others are really far out, even for a soap." the headwriter told us when we asked him about this whole mess

Now, as for Josh's Roman, here is what he said about that:

"Well, this is one storyline I am going to have fun writing." laughs the writer "Most would expect me with all my comments about Josh being Chris for this faux Roman to turn out to be Chris! Well, as much as I would like that to happen, it would be the easy and obvious route, so I do not want to go that route. I however can say Chris will probably be popping around Salem a little bit, but I will save that tid bit for a later." he winks "Josh has a big storyline a head of him, I can say that. First this FauxRoman will have to deal with the fact that the people he knew as his family were not his family, the children that he thought were his are not, he was also living a complete lie for twelve whole years. And he also will have to go through the torture of not knowing his true identity, he even might have kids and a wife out there waiting for him, and a family as well. The poor mans life has been turned upside down...... and now he has to turn it back up. But luckily he will have a NEW woman to comfort him through all of this.... one no one EVER expected!!!"

And then the final question we asked, how will this effect Roman and his WHOLE family?

"He will be shocked and deveastated, but it will probably not have as big as an effect on him as it will faux Roman, because he has been through this swift identity change before, and he is close to the Brady family, and in a way he has always been an honorary member of their family. But trust me, things won't be easy as pie for him. He will have some major changes amongst other things to deal with. As for his family.... the Brady's will be trying to get over the fact that the man they have thought was their son for over a decade was really not their son, and try to accept John into their family as Roman. Then of course there is the Shelle factor.... and that they had a daughter together!!!! Well, do not worry, I have an explanation for that as well.... but this will cause alot of trouble for Shelle in the beginning. And there is Brady, on a side note, Brady's name is in a way now "Brady Brady" but we will fix that, anyways he will have some adjusting to do as well, because he will have to get to know a whole new family as his own, this was one reason we brought Brady back, so he could be here for this. Then there are the four other children of Roman that John didn't even know were his! Sami, Eric, Rex, and Cassie. Sami is going to be probably the biggest problem, just because of her hatred for John she has had for years.... little did she know he was her father. This will be part of getting Lumi back together as Lucas comforts Sami over all of this, and she will slowly at last grow up and accept John, but that will be a while because currently we are trying to finish off growing Sami up, and this is Sami, so we have to take baby steps. Eric will have a hard time to, and will pretty much neglect his whole family during this ordeal, and Nicole will be there for him with open arms.... but that is a different story. Rex will have just lost a woman who he realized was his true love, Mimi, and now he was actually JUST warming up to faux Roman, and now this. He will of course have a hard time, but not like Sami and Eric, however this will heavily impact on his life.... and push him into the arms of a hooker! Then last, but not least, there is Cassie, she was closer to faux Roman than Rex was, but not like Sami and Eric were, she will have a hard time accepting the real Roman, John, and will be very fisty during this storyline! Marlena will be in shock as well, and will stay with John, and she is crucial to this storyline, she will be with John every step of the way as he slowly gets closer to accepting he is really Roman Brady!" the headwriter told us

This is all he would say, so you must be sure to stay tuned to "Life in Salem" during this fantastic storyline!!!!
