Ugh..the rumor is confirmed next week. Pardon me while I throw up in my mouth a little.

Uhm well I don't like it or hate it. I don't hate Daniel or like him he's just there but really why does it matter? There is no major conflict between Daniel and MAggie where doing this might make for a soapy outcome. I just really don't get the point to be honest.

My thought exactly. I think that TPTB are just determined to make Melanie part of the core family on the show. Daniel is just a means to get there.

WHich is silly IMO. Does making Melanie a Horton(which this does NOT make her) increase her relevance. She and Maggie already had sort of a mother - daughter relationship that actually is one of the few under Higley that kind of developed organically. I dislike Melanie but the relationship with she and Maggie and she and Carly were the 2 best things on this show and how they evolved under Higley. Oh well.

Could Victor end up being his father? the way this story is being written, you truly don't know.

And? If he is whats the point? He is already Daniels godfather. My guess is he is Victors son also.

So contrived and terrible. I want this show to end.

I really don't understand the logic myself. The only thing that will change between Melanie and Maggie is her saying "Grandma" at the beginning/end of every interaction. It accomplishes nothing. I'm just sick of everyone being a secret Brady, Horton, or DiMera. I loathe Mel and Dan, but atleast they were a different family then the rest. True that Melanie wouldn't be a blood Horton, but she'll be known as one, just like half the town.

And if Daniel turns out to be Victor's, I will gag. How will they explain that? His sperm was stolen during the Kate/Vivian Stolen Egg fiasco?

YEP TV Guide unfortunately confirmed it, they don't say it's Daniel, they just say "Guess who is her son"

I just threw up in my mouth

You should probably look into changing your screenname then.

I filled up my barf bag already.

It's ridiculous! Bope, Maggie, and Victor were harping on it happening 20 years ago over and over again. How the hell would Daniel fit the bill? He's forty something and looks 60 with his leather skin.

Ok Daniel cannot be Victors son otherwise that means Melanie was married to and had sex with Phillip who would be her uncle.

<p>Dan being Maggie's son…. what does that change…..</p>

<p> </p>

<p>* Well, if Nathan Horton ever comes to town again, there will be a little bit of &quot;ick&quot;. Guess he wasn't meant to be Melanie's &quot;soul mate&quot; after all.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>* Jennifer and Daniel have yet another reason why they aren't going to work - your boyfriend's mother really shouldn't be your aunt</p>

<p> </p>

<p>* Victor as some 'splaining to do regardless</p>

<p> </p>

<p>* Maggie will be called &quot;Mom&quot; again by someone who actually does have chemistry with</p>

<p> </p>

<p>* The dating pool for both Melanie and Daniel gets a lot smaller - even though they aren't blood-Hortons, they now can't really date real Hortons</p>

<p> </p>

<p>But truly, what does this change? Some historical purists will pitch a fit, but all the kids on daytime that have been retconed over the years makes this pretty moot. I think from a strictly story-telling POV, this ensures us a lot more Maggie - and that might be the best outcome period.</p>

Who were Nathan's parents again?

It all proves that these writers also are plot driven and contrived plot driven just like the rest who put the final nail in other soaps coffins.

exactly.

this story is pointless. it does nothing. it adds nothing. the special thing about melanie/maggie was that there was no relation because it wasnt needed. they bonded, they connected, they formed a family unit on their own. the only impact this has on anyone is jenn because now daniel is maggies son, but we all know she will pick jack in the end anyways, so why? what does this add? what is the point? as for it keeping maggie in a story, since it started what 2 weeks ago and is revealed next week, its a pretty damn fast story. its just utterly pointless. not to mention maggie has two daughters who can easily be added - why isnt Madison Sarah to be honest?

A much better story would have been to bring on Melissa and add her to the dan/jen/jack story. Melissa/Dan could create issues with her and jenn, maybe her and maggie, her and melanie should already have issues, daniel and melanie could have issues over it.
