"We're going to see a payoff to a lot of stuff that's been building for a long time," previews head writer Ron Carlivati. "There's huge drama, but at the same time there's a return to some humor and lightness."

Rex/Adriana/Gigi: "The wedding is the centerpiece of sweeps. We're really building Gigi's feelings for Rex that she's been trying to push down, and at the same time we're seeing the same thing on the other side with Rex. He's in love with Adriana but he's got these feelings for Gigi."

The Mannings: "We're going to see Cole taking pretty drastic steps to protect Starr and their child. Look for Blair to really stand up for herself and take Todd on about the way he's been behaving and sort of running the family. Blair is sort of reaching her breaking point with him. And John, as a surrogate father of Cole, will be pulled into the story, as well."

The Buchanans: "Jared is going to take a big, drastic step in May to win Natalie over and prove that he loves her. Everything that's been going on with Buchanan Enterprises comes to a head at the first shareholder's meeting that they've had since Asa's death. We're going to see who's really been behind everything that has been going on with BE and its going to have some pretty shocking consequences. With David Vickers returning, everyone's wondering when is he going to finally find out that he is Asa's son. There will be a major development in that story. David will stumble into something pretty major and that will pull him back to Llanview."

That seems rather short compared to other shows but it looks like good stuff

It's nice to hear Ron talking about the stories. I'm sure these will all be great.

What I love about Ron is instead of completely scrapping all the crap stories GT pinned during the strike he's trying to fix them.

That's because Ron *gets* soap opera.

I can't wait to see his material again.

and he did the same thing with Dena's stuff last summer.

SID MAY SWEEPS

David Returns!

“May sweeps begins with Jared taking drastic action to try to break down Natalie's defenses once and for all,” says Carlivati. “They end up in Texas, where their romance first began. The secret of Jared's deception will unravel throughout May, and as it does, look for David Vickers to pop up in an unexpected place! Will he finally find out that he's a Buchanan?” As for Jared's dad, “Natalie and Jared try to give Charlie the opportunity to come clean with Viki and Rex before they find out the truth another way,” he offers. “But someone intervenes to prevent Charlie from talking.”

Will Rex Marry Adriana

Adriana gets increasingly paranoid and jealous of Rex’s friendship with Gigi. She discovers Brody, the guy Gigi has been claiming as Shane’s dad. Adriana’s goal is to reunite Gigi and Brody and keep her away from Rex as the wedding nears, and at least 3 people will find out that Rex is Shane’s dad. Meanwhile Gigi’s feelings for Rex are growing stronger, and we start to see that Rex may have some feelings for her in return. Is Rex starting to get cold feet? They will make it to the alter but that’s not to say that they will necessarily get married.

Starr’s secret is exposed

Starr is struggling to cope with being 16 and pregnant. She is scared. She and Cole will make some pretty big choices. Her parents have their own issues to deal with. Blair will finally stand up to Todd about the way he is treating Starr and Cole. John will play an important role in this. At least one of these three will find out about Starr’s pregnancy.

Is John’s Ex Alive?

The John/Talia/Antonio triangle will come to a head in May. Meanwhile, John is determined to uncover Ramsey’s secret. Many speculate that Ramsey’s mystery woman is John’s ex fiancée Caitlin. RC says, I can’t tell you if it is, but I will say that she has a connection to someone in Llanview. And there’s a very good chance that you might recognize her face….if we let you see it!
