I was all ready to type up my theories then homeboy Khan does it better than I ever could.

No, you weren't. You're just saying that for no reason.

Yawn to these previews, too.

Now all we need is for Mark to add his spin to these theories.

No, please, do not summon the rationalisations!

Khan, you seriously are probably pretty much 100% right on your storyline speculations. All makes total sense. Especially tying in the bizarre art plot into the return of PC3.

Leave poor Mark along y'all.

If the baby is Nick's why would the Abbotts be involved? I think it is Billy's but he signs over his parental rights to Jack and the Abbotts sue for the baby from Sharon and, probably, Nick.

I don't think Jack would ever sue Sharon, he's willing to take any crumbs she gives him and forgives for everything.

Sharon's living with Jack, the Abbotts are involved if the baby is Nicks because of that. But all the Newmans really have no part in this unless the kid is Nicks.

The almighty Sylph now reads minds too!

Sharon and Nick are more than likely reuniting next week according to spoilers. Also, Sharon tells Nick at Cassie's grave site about the baby. Nick is happy (yep, he is) because if fulfills Cassie's wish on her deathbed for them to have another baby. He tells Sharon he is leaving Phyllis for reals this time. This story is taking a totally different turn.

I really hope that Sharon child is Nick so that the Abbotts can be done with her. I know Jack said he'll help her raise it but how long will that last.

Sharon/Jack/Nick/Phyllis/Billy: "The paternity of Sharon's baby will be revealed. The revelation of who the father is will launch a huge, new story art that will take us way into the fall. It'll involve all of the Newmans and Abbotts and will be a very big story that will be emotional for all of the participants. It's not just about the revelation; it goes way beyond that and redefines everyone involved."

Nick is the father. Sharon decides to stay with Jack anyway. Summer is actually Jack's kid. Mary Jane steals the baby or switches it with Ashley's.

Victor/Adam/Ashley: "Adam is going to be running amok for quite some time. The danger of Adam is not only does he have Victor in his sights, he also has Jack in his sights. He is just driven to destroy these two men at any expense and then he becomes even more of a threat because he's able to fly under the radar. He's trouble and is going to be messing things up, generating a riptide of destruction."

Adam's targets go beyond Ashley, and he starts targeting all the on-screen Newmans and Abbotts. He gets a medical leave which allows him to flit about town and screw things up for people. Everyone connected to Victor or Jack, from JT to Chloe to Colleen to Sharon will be a target. Adam will frame Victoria for some of his crimes, causing problems with Victor and Victoria.

Paul/Nikki/Mary Jane: "Mary Jane's identity comes to light. We're seeing just the tip of the iceberg with her. We'll learn what she's in town to do, and it's going to be a really huge surprise. I think it's going to be tremendous fun. Her presence is going to affect Paul as well as everyone else on the canvas. But Paul is going to be front and center in this story."

MJ is Patty. She will hurt Sharon or her baby in some way. Paul will discover Victor is behind Patty and tell everyone, causing Nick to reject his father.

Cane/Lily: "They both stand to lose what they value and desire the most. They have a beautiful romance, but it will be threatened."

Lily will whine for two days when she realizes Cane lied to her but soon forgive him. Because they are not the point of P3's return.

Kay/Jill: "There are going to be huge revelations; there are still secrets about the Chancellor family history that have not yet been discovered. There are going to be triple whammies in this story."

Cane & Phillip III are twins. Kay gave away Cane and didn't realize there were two babies. Phillip III fakes his death for several reasons: he falsely came to believe that he was not Jill's bio son, he started to desire men and couldn't keep lying to Nina, his alcoholism was too much for him to beat and he thought PIV would be better without him then with a drunk for a father. PIV is the artist that Daniel is trying to help.

Kevin/Jana/Daniel/Amber: "They're going to be involved in a mystery that's going going to be twofold in its revelations. It has an explosive effect on Daniel and Amber due to the reveal of one secret, but under that revelation is another twist that's going to impact Kevin and Jana."

The "Feds" are really part of a crime syndicate. PIV is one of their victims and beholden to them. The crime syndicate blackmails talented artists into creating world-class forgeries. Then they switch the forged pictures with the real ones, sell the real ones, and no one knows the difference.

Adam's targets go beyond Ashley, and he starts targeting all the on-screen Newmans and Abbotts. He gets a medical leave which allows him to flit about town and screw things up for people. Everyone connected to Victor or Jack, from JT to Chloe to Colleen to Sharon will be a target. Adam will frame Victoria for some of his crimes, causing problems with Victor and Victoria.

I really like this theory and we've already seen that he's a sly S.O.B.!

Nick is the father. Sharon decides to stay with Jack anyway. Summer is actually Jack's kid. Mary Jane steals the baby or switches it with Ashley's.

The baby switch would work if the kids weren't a month apart. But having Adam help Mary Jane steal the baby would elevate this tale to a classic. But I still think the Summer must remain Nick's, and that Sharon's should be Jack or Billy's kid. In light of yesterday's condom scene, I think it would make Chloe even angrier if he knocked up another b!tch.

MJ is Patty. She will hurt Sharon or her baby in some way. Paul will discover Victor is behind Patty and tell everyone, causing Nick to reject his father.

Could there be much doubt at this point. Most other scenarios don't compute, because of the (a) private plane issue, and ( because Victor wouldn't hire a KNOWN psycho.

Cane & Phillip III are twins. Kay gave away Cane and didn't realize there were two babies. Phillip III fakes his death for several reasons: he falsely came to believe that he was not Jill's bio son, he started to desire men and couldn't keep lying to Nina, his alcoholism was too much for him to beat and he thought PIV would be better without him then with a drunk for a father. PIV is the artist that Daniel is trying to help.

No. How would P3 come to find out about and connect with his fraternal twin? It just doesn't work.

The "Feds" are really part of a crime syndicate. PIV is one of their victims and beholden to them. The crime syndicate blackmails talented artists into creating world-class forgeries. Then they switch the forged pictures with the real ones, sell the real ones, and no one knows the difference.

I do think Daniel's Mr. Aucker is a criminal, not a Fed.

No one on canvas should be Kay's daughter. If they want to bring on a daughter, consider one of the actresses who bit at the Jill recast casting calls. If it was Gloria or Nikki that would be a bigger mistake than making Jill Kay's daughter to begin with.

I am still shocked that Paul's gonna be "front and center." I guess now we know why Brad died and Paul did not

I don't trust this part of spoilers. Maybe he'll be front and center. Or maybe it'll be like Tammin's "big storyline". We'll see.

Oh, crap, you're right! I guess only time will tell!
