Days: If Stefano Is The Seventh Son Of The Seventh Son.....

[Roman]

Which brings me to one other point....

John had DNA tests doen years ago when he thought he may be Stefano's son. They came back that he was in no way blood related to Stefano.

But now......he's his brother?

[Queen_Nubia]

I dont recall it being a big plot point. It was usually tossed in relating to him remabling about being the Phoenix, returning from the died, being unstoppable...blah blah blah..."look, its my magical phoenix ring" blah blah.

[daysfan]

DNA Tests don't mean a thing these days, especially for John Black...the man has had the blood of Roman Brady, Forrest Alamain, and everyone else in Salem!

[brimike]

Once again, easily explained if Stefano didn't want anyone else to get their hands on the DiMera fortune and knew all along about John being Santo's illegitimate son. But God forbid it be addressed, even in one little scene.

[Toups]

So true, brimike!! Three key players weren't even involved with finale of the storyline!??? They used two great episodes to mask over their crappy story telling. Imagine those scenes with Stefano coming face-to-face with the woman who he thought ruined his family. So much potential wasted.

Exactly!! Stefano didn't want a Brady to ever be part of the Dimera Dynasty.

[brimike]

Imagine Colleen seeing EJ, and seeing young Santo in him, and begging him to let the vendetta go? Imagine Colleen telling Sami she understands why she did all the things she did growing up, as Colleen also felt as if she had to do anything to get what she wanted (i.e., faking her death), and the two women moving past their guilt? Imagine Stefano facing Colleen, a woman he once enjoyed spending time with as a boy, and Colleen ripping into him about twisting and warping Santo's final words to his son and causing years of tragedy (which would have nicely mirrored dying Stefano's scenes with Santo in the hospital last summer)?

I could go on and on...

[Roman]

I supposed you're right.

Death and blood tests are passe' in Salem.

I guess next.....they'll have the cure for cancer.

[brimike]

One more thing - it would have been a breeze to get them there as well, since Sami and EJ were going into hiding anyway with the twins. EJ is from the United Kingdom, could easily have found a safehouse in Ireland. Sure, it's a coincidence that they'd end up where everyone else did. But it's a soap (Maison Blanche anyone? Aremid?) I would have forgiven the coincidence if it meant some serious drama.

[Roman]

I do feel sorry for Claire.

The first question she'sgoing to have to ask a young man when they go on their first date is....

"Are we related?"

[JackPeyton]

this entire topic is soooo far over my head i dont even know what to think.

[daysfan]

Yep, its why Stefano is the Phoenix, and why none of his other brothers(including John, most likely) cannot be the Phoenix.

This may be one reason why the DiMeras always have so many children, LOL. To get seven sons or something, perhaps. Just pure speculation on my part, though.

[brimike]

Uhhh... I think Claire and Jack, Jr. are the only ones... oh wait, no. That doesn't work because of Hope and Jennifer.

Uhhh... Claire and Tyler? Nope... because of Bo/Victor/Philip. Damn.

Uhhh... Claire and Theo? Nope... because of John and Lexie. Okay then...

Uhhh... wait, hold on... I'll think of one.

Uhhh.....

Hmm...

I'll have to get back to you. I could be here awhile. :-)

[Toups]

LOL!!

Well, we don't have to worry about this situation for another 12-13 years. If DAYS is still on the air, I'm pretty sure there will be new characters for Claire to date.

[Roman]

I wonder when any DiMera men had time to build an international empire.

They look like they spent all their time having sex.

[JackPeyton]

Toups, you do mean 5-6 years right? not 12-13. this is Days...

lets see... claire and...

what about the baby bo & hope gave back to barb & glenn? they will degae him/age her....
