Josh is here as the fetus for a lot of reasons, all of which I blame Megan McTavish for.

That said, LMFAO, people fought me for months, MONTHS on Josh as the fetus, why am not surprised that they're going to fight me on this too? Hehe. Tis all good. I forgive you all. Just remember, I've said this since May of last year, when J&E sign those divorce papers. Hind sight will no doubt be 20/20.

I'd rather put acid in my eyes that have Jack and Erica togeter, but that would be plesurable compared to Erica being with Jeff, so I'd love to be wrong. But I'm not.

Hmm - I don't think Josh was supposed to be a Martin until they did a recast to make Josh look more like his family (Erica, Kendall).

The first Josh was totally introduced to be a new love interest for Kendall and the other Fusion girls - remember when they flirted with him to get into that office.

Then there was the whole Dani thing.

I don't believe for a second that Josh was originally supposed to be a Martin until they decided to recast. Ian was on for a limited time, but they came up with this huge storyline - and extended Ian's contract - and recast Josh. This is why it took us forever to figure out what Greg's history with Erica was all about.

Nope, he was Erica's son, one way or the other the day the casting call went out ;) He tested with AM because he was going to be her brother. Whether he was Erica's son as the fetus or some other way at that point, I'm not sure. Though, SK, was a DEAD ringer for a Martin. OMG. Colin, not so much. But I started to fear the fetus just before Colin got the part, and he was fetus by at least August. So....

A part of me does think they may have had something else in mind to make Josh Erica's son, but I'll never know for sure. I do find it odd, however, that I knew he for a fact that Josh was who he was MONTHS before Colin.

^ there were so many theories out there. But in the end, I knew what I knew, and could never get anyone (there were a few people who believed and fought thier asses off with me) to listen. No one believed thsy AMC would actually be that stupid.

Sound familiar? :(

I totally disagree.

I love you all - but unless I see an interview or something, I can't buy it.

From what I remember, he was going to be more closely working with Greenlee and the whole sperm story with Ryan. I know he recognized Erica and whatnot from the beginning, but that may have just been a way to get him to Pine Valley. I just think the recasting is the writing on the wall here - bc they had the original Josh flirting with Kendall and Greens and Dani (the Fusion girls) - then when Colin came in, the flirting stopped and they got a guy that resembled Erica and Kendall.

I don't know - I just don't see how he was supposed to be the unaborted fetus from the very beginning.

LOL, I knew from the casting call. I'll see if can find it for ya, it was something aobut Greg revealing a shocking parternity secret that would change Erica's life. It was pretty clear from that any child of Greg's that showed up at that point, was Erica's. I'm not saying he was fetus from day one, I don't know that. And I'm not completely convinced that he was even fetus when Colin got the part...I do have my doubts. But he was fetus by early August 2005...so that's pretty quick, IMO.

Testing with AM doesn't mean much and it doesn't mean that they were testing for sibling or love chemistry. For years they have screen tested every male that is being casted with AM. She has chemistry with everyone and that's why they do that.

I am also firmly in the camp that Josh was alway supposed to be the Fetus. The recast happened because oldJosh was supposed to be "nice" and newJosh was supposed to be a jerk which they somehow equated to the son that was just like Erica Kane. Whatever, Frons. So maybe Colin was cast as a Fetus but Josh the original character wasn't.

I mean Josh from the get go was written as a young male version of Erica. How he got the job as producer on her show.... it was strong hinted at.

The flirting was done.... because like Kylie said, Kendall was going to be his sister.

I always maintain Josh should have been Kendall's twin.

But nope, we had to go the sci-fi political route.

Thats true, but then you had dr. Madman not wanting josh involved with erica/kendall. So it was obvious to me at least that he was going to be erica's kid. But again I didn't know how.lol Whether the fetus thing was the storyline from the start I don't know, it seemed pretty last minute to me.

Hmm - well I definitely believe that he was fetus with the recast.

I just thought I remember the spoiler saying Greg was going to have a secret that would rock Greenlee and Erica's world. I figure it had to do with being Greenlee's doctor and then causing a disruption in Erica/Jack's newlywed-ness.

      The Politics Thread

      The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I’m sensing you’re not really a John Black fan from your posts. This has been some of the best soap Days has done in many years but you seem completely opposed to it lol.

      The John Black character has been a part of my life for decades. I like heroes being honored, however imperfect they may be.  I'm glad they are giving him a long farewell and tribute.

      Annie Dutton was anything, but sane when she was introduced.  She was very tortured and looked like she was on the verge of tears when she was first introduced.   While people, and writers, made it seem as though Annie lost her mind because of Josh.. I truly think that Annie had a lot of untreated mental issues that didn't manifest until her marriage to Josh. Sonni was also anything, but strong when she was first introduced either.   Claire in 1983 was a complete 180 from the Claire that we got in 1986... and I do agree that her character was degraded.

      I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
