Yes, after Keemo croaked (off-screen), we found out he had a daughter named Allie. Allie was used merely as a "tool" to bring Diane Jenkins back onto the show. For about 3 seconds, it appeared Y&R was going to write a storyline about a YOUNG character, but as usual they didn't. Allie sat around in restaurants and listened to Ashley and Traci's backstories (during Eileen Davidson & Beth Maitland's 40th anniversaries), said "Wow, you guys are COOL, Aunt Ashley and Aunt Traci!", and then immediately left town forever with one of the (zillion) failed Noah recasts.
The worst writer in Y&R's history, a bumbling fool named Josh Griffith, hit the Retcon Jackpot by producing a big ole grown-ass boy who turned out to be the (nonexistent) son of Amy Lewis and Nathan Hastings who never had a child together. Once we halfway accepted that this fictional guy was REALLY Amy and Nathan's son, the character was unceremoniously killed-off in yet ANOTHER retcon, in which long-forgotten Cane Ashby, whom most of us never wanted to see again, reappeared as a Billionaire Hobo Who Lives on Trains, with a train for each continent, including presumably, Antarctica, and while all of this was going on, Phillip Chancellor IV fell over dead, following the make-believe son of Amy Lewis to the Great Beyond.
