Awww... spoken like a straight boy!

[DeeeDee]

It's not hard to understand.

[Khan]

I reiterate what I amended my original post with: not everyone has heard or read the blind item, apparently; and I'm probably the idiot just for alluding to it. So, in the interest of moving on, let's just do so. Good?

[Cheap21]

You know what the show should have done? They should have made Mookie, Randi's brother. All we know of her backstory is that she was in fostercare wtih Carmen. They could have used this story to expand upon her childhood and introduced him as her brother. Maybe they went into fostercare after their mother died or maybe the mom was awful and lost custody of them. They got seperated in the system and she grew up to be a hooker and he grew up to be an abuser. Their relationship would put her at odds with Frankie as he has a natural instinct to want to protect Maya and Randi feels responsible for her brother. Lucy would be her niece and so she'd have a biological interest in her. If the show werent cancelled on ABC, Maya would get Lucy after the truth was revealed but in a few months, gets killed off. Mookie feels he cant raise the child and signs away all rights to Randi who steps up and wants to raise the baby (after learning she cant have kids). Angie of course wants her back and Jesse supports this as the only thing that can heal the hole in her heart is to have her baby back. A custody battle would then ensue between Randi/Frankie vs Angie/Jesse. That could be setup for some intereting drama.

[Khan]

Either way, Mookie would've been as useful to the show as Randi has been...which is to say, not at all.

What they should have done is 1) come up with a name other than "Mookie"; 2) cast the role with someone who could, you know, act?; and 3) reveal Mookie to be Jesse's nephew by his brother, Eugene (Tom Wright). That way, Lucy still would be a Hubbard biologically, and Maya and the baby would remain inside that family's orbit for some time to come.

In an ideal world I agree with you. But Jacob already confirmed that Babe came back for him. I think the show is setting up Babe being back to send JR off the way they came on the show originally and the way they originally wanted to leave it, with them running off in the sunset together with AJ to California.

Colin wouldn't comeback for that. It makes no sense for him to comeback for an episode or two to tell the audience that he isn't really Erica Kane's son and undermine all of the story he played for four years.It makes no sense for him to do that. He is also apart of bigger projects now, I doubt AMC is even on his radar.

[Khan]

First of all, who said it had to be Colin? Second, who said it had to be for "an episode or two"? Don't you think 1) there's a way he might not be Greg and Emily Madden's son (I only suggested that as a possibility); and that 2) Erica helping her "son" find his true identity while still forming a mother-like attachment to him would be a good story to carry through to PP?

[Skin]

The whole Josh discussion was brought up as a possibility that he might be the man for Erica who David has down in his basement. I personally don't think they are bringing him back, nor do I think they were ever considering bringing him back. His very existence was too controversial in the first place and no writer seemed to want to touch him with a ten foot pool after Megan exited the building even when he was on the canvas and could have been utilized as a male lead. Keep in mind he was a Kane. A male Kane. Any other writer under any other circumstances would have went to town with this especially for an AMC under Frons male centered ABC daytime rule. I don't see why Broderick would want to bring him back it would be far easier for her to bring back one of Erica's thousand love interests then to bring back a son who was hated on spot for what he did to Erica's historical abortion and is arguably considered one of the worst moments of AMC for the last decade. I don't think PP would even want Josh back either due to the resentment he generated in most viewers.

As to the episode or two line I made a comment on, that was said because we have information on everything on the show except for the last two weeks. There simply isn't enough time for Josh to make an appearance, have his heritage screwed with and have it be even remotely satisfying and interesting before the show goes off the air to lead us to PP in January. It's simply too much story in too little a time frame. The problem with a lot of the long lasting returns as we have seen with Dixie herself.

[Marley]

Where & when has Jacob said that? I don't recall him saying anything like that & even at fan events he played around the whole thing.

I do know that AH gave an interview w/ yahoo & I believe she said she would be shooting with Jacob.

[Skin]

Jacob has been making choice comments that have been setting Jabe up in interviews. He said that 'someone from the dead will be coming back for JR' after Cady came back as Dixie and then he said that Babe was his one true love. I would say that all but confirms JR and Babe are outlined as going off in the sunset together which was originally what was planned for them in 08' prior to Baker Babe's death. JR losing control of his monetary assets, burning bridges with his family and his friends, isolating himself further from all his ties to PV by spiraling downward and his upcoming foreclosure storylines, etc. so he can run off with Babe in the finale. That's my take on it. I wouldn't be surprised if that is the way it's all working out.

Alexa has all but confirmed that Babe is alive but she has been trying to keep it a secret. She did say that the Chandlers were in for a shock when she returns.

[reallyhateskateonlost]

The David haters are giving him to much power. He casting spells now and Zach or Erica and can't think for themselves! So stupid and tiresome. Be afraid Griffin.

[R Sinclair]

Yuck... Alexa Havins is, indeed, returning to the AMC screen?

Seems only fitting. Between Zendall and her version Babe, it's only right the two show-eating cancers return for its demise.

[Marley]

And I'm no longer watching.

Kudos to Lorraine Broderick, she made Ellen Wheeler not look so bad. GL in it's last days

was a joke but I still watched, amc has become an atrocity & I honestly can't wait for the crap to just be over.

It truly is a shame that this fine soap is ending like this.

[Khan]

Bite your tongue! Not even this hot mess can make Peapack look good!

[Skin]

I really don't get why everyone is so surprised. As if the show has been in anyway shape or form good the past three years.
