These writers are fools if they rewrite history for two lame throwaway characters(Daniel & Melanie).. There is no drama or story in making gross Daniel Maggie's son & lame Melanie her granddaughter. If they want Maggie to have real family on the show, they can bring back her real daughter Sarah, and pair her with Daniel instead of rewriting history for these fools to be related to Maggie.

Its not about wanting Maggie to have real family on the show.....its all about giving Daniel and Melanie stronger ties to the canvas. This really isnt about Maggie. She's only being used as the vehicle. If they could find a way, Im sure they'd make him Shawn's long lost son via an affair, thus solidifying Melanie as a Brady till the next regime came in and retconned it.

The biggest joke of all this is that it seems like being a Horton relative is the fastest way for a younger character to leave town, aside from the loudmouthed Bratz doll Abby.

^^ Being connected to Maggie does NOT mean they will be Hortons.

I think the reason the others left is because they weren't well thought out and formed. Melanie and Daniel are already rich characters in their own right so they don't need Maggie's coat tails to keep them connected. What it will do however, is further solidify the family Maggie and VICTOR will have to oversee.

I just thought of something...

IF the rumor that Daniel is Maggie's long lost son, who is the father?

Well...

Remember back when Ian Buchanan was meeting with headwriter Marlene? Perhaps he will play his father. Next week we find out that Maggie's eggs were stolen without her knowledge by a fake clinic. Maybe Ian's character was the sperm donor or perhaps even the doctor who stole the eggs from her? I would love to see Ian, Suzanne, and John in a story together.

What do you guys think?

love that idea.

There are only so many degrees of separation this story can take, considering who has slept with whom.

I'm still wondering if naming Daniel was a red herring. In order for it to be legitimate, they would have had to have Maggie's eggs stolen in the mid 70's so he would remain a cohort of Hope/Bo/Jennifer, etc. and that doesn't fit with Maggie's history. I saw another rumour that said Gus was going to be her long-lost son, and we know what happened to him. This might not be a new story after all OR it could be a misleading story to keep us guessing. If I had my bets I would say it was never going to be Daniel (too old) or Melanie (too young), but Madison is possibly the one in play.

Melanie could be her daughter if they froze her eggs and used them much later.I definetly dont want to see that happen but its not out of the realm of possibilities especially since they are so intent on solidying Melanie's ties

I hope Madison is Maggie's daughter. I think SB would be Awesome as Maggie's daughter. Daniel is too old, don't fit the timeline so far and SC is limited as an actor. I would really hate for Daniel to be Maggie's son.

SORASing has screwed up the whole timeline, regardless. Hope was really born in 1974 and Jen in 1976, but given their current ages, they had to have been born more like the mid-60s. Maggie got pregnant with Sarah in, what, 1981? But Sarah was a young woman when she left Salem in the early 90s, not too much younger than Melissa. So Sarah would have to be 40-ish right now. I think Daniel is right around there.

Can we have a Spumor about Daniel being written off the show? Please?

How silly to bring on a long-lost child for Maggie to fawn over when she has a daughter who hasn't been seen in Salem for 20 years! I mean really. Was she supposed to be offscreen back in 2003 when Maggie "died"? I remember how Kayla was supposedly back in town when Caroline died but we never saw her. Can't remember if they did the same for Sarah Horton.

I think Madison as Maggie's daughter would be amazing, except for the fact that they could have made SJB, Sarah Horton and avoided this whole silly retcon altogether.

I hope it isn't Daniel though.

that was done with Sarah when Mickey died.

How lame. They couldn't just send Daniel on his merry way now that Jack is back. They had to come up with this nonsense to keep him around. Pathetic.

IA. He's useless.
