[Marco Dane]

What direction do you think that TPTB are going with this storyline?

If TSJ ia going to end up being Walker again they're gonna have to do some serious explaining as to why he wanted to be Todd this much and for this long.

I really do believe Roger is returning, and I think it's going to turn out TSJ is playing Walker. It can work if they says Mitch was behind it, think of some reason. It is something Mitch would do.

Oh shiot, looks like RH is coming back

[Ms. Chandler Quartermaine]

I would hate for them to make TSJ "Walker"...too much has happened for this to all make sense. It would be one thing if it was a year worth of storyline like Di/Dixie on AMC, but for over 7 years and no one suspected a thing, come on.

[dragonflies]

Eh not really, the door has been open for it, they left enough leeway for it. It's not even close to Di/Dixie IMO

I think this could salvage the character for the most part who's been destroyed due to bad acting and writing.

It was done before on Days with John/Roman, so it could be done with Walker/Todd!

[Antoyne]

I completely agree. I have a feeling I'm not going to like how this ends up if Howarth is indeed returning...I didn't mind him but I much prefer Trevor.

[SFK]

Exactly Antoyne, why this much and for this long, besides the money of course. Not that Todd's even a big spender really, and to want to assume parenthood and go through all that crap with Margaret, we'd have a truly empty, desperate soul here.

How long was Roman not Roman but John? Alex was only Clay for a couple of years. I agree that this is a streeeeeetch, and yes, a little pressed. I know RH has his legions of fans but I don't think bringing him back will "save" the show or anything. His fans are probably already watching. I'm not a Todd fan per se but I kind of like TSJ and have fully accepted him as Todd. It would feel like a cheat to go back on this now. At any rate, some serious 'splainin to do if this is where they're going.

[OLTL_fan]

It wouldnt make sense if he wasnt the real Todd. Tea used his DNA to prove he was Dani's father.

John Black was Roman in 1984 til 1991

[Bright Eyes]

John Black didn't arrive until fall 1985. Drake Hogestyn premiered in 1986.

[SFK]

Damn, that's a long time. Well, I guess in that case it went over well but we are living in a far more cynical time. But seriously, they could do whatever they want and I'd probably go along with it (even if side-eyed). I'm used to the big stunts by now and I've lost the full investment in the show that I once had due to serious dips in quality and the show no longer appealing to my personal taste as much as it once did. So I can go on enjoying the show in the more casual manner that I already do. Shoot, I'm already getting better at tuning out the Fords.

I stand corrected, I was going by the Roman dates instead of the John dates

[Michael]

John Black thought he was Roman, which is why that (sort of) worked. I guess if Walker somehow thinks he IS Todd Manning, via brainwashing and memory implantation or some such, it's easier to buy than if he's just been knowingly masquerading as Todd for all these years.
