WHO *IS* MEGAN HATHAWAY!? As revealed in Friday's shocking cliffhanger, Jan's mother, Megan Spears (Gina Tognoni, above.), is actually the presumed dead Megan Hathaway! But some of you might be wondering who Megan Hathaway actually is. Here is a brief character history: Megan came to Salem in 1984 with her adopted father, Maxwell Hathaway. Megan was an ex-girlfriend of Bo Brady and would stop at nothing to win him back! She lied and schemed and tried to pass off a child as hers and Bo's. She was filled with hatred for Bo's love, Hope Williams. She tried to kill Hope in 1985 by attempting to electrocute Hope in a hot tub. Unfortunately for Megan, before she could execute her plan, she stumbled upon Larry Welch making some shady business dealings and became the murder victim of Larry Welch, suffering the same fate that she intended by Hope. Larry dumped her body in the hot tub, and Hope was the prime murder suspect in Megan's death. Biologically, Megan is the daughter of Stefano Dimera. "This was the plan all along. It isn't a coincidence that I named Jan's mom Megan. I thought maybe it was a little risky, and some readers would put the pieces together before we revealed the truth. But, it worked out nicely. I will, of course, explain in time how Megan survived Larry Welch's murder attempt."...says the writer. "But for now, we have bigger things to do. Megan has a sister in town, Lexie, who is also hell-bent on getting revenge on Salem right now. Also, Jan is now a Dimera. She is the grand-daughter of Stefano, which is huge. A few months ago when I promised that something else was in store for Jan after she gets exposed, this is what I was alluding to. Unfortunately for Hope, Billie, and Belle, Jan and Megan are here to stay."
