Lucas Austin Billie Cassie Rex Phillip annnnnnd Madison

Looks like it's going that way...and that's ridiculous, I just hope Sarah Brown doesn't do to Kate what she did to GH's Bobbie. And FYI, this isn't a spoiler...but I think it's kind of pathetic that we can spot this storyline barreling down the screen.

I thought Carly was Bobbie's best chance at new types of stories - instead it seemed like the show avoided their relationship after the mother/daughter reveal and instead kept putting Bobbie in romance stories that made her come across as a middle-aged woman who wanted to be a teenager (Bobbie/Roy ugh). Kate doesn't have that aging little girl side so I think she'll be OK. The only issue I have with these big paternity or maternity reveals is they go nowhere in the long run (Melanie/Dan, Melanie/Carly, Chad/Stefano, just the recent ones).

I will say Koslow still has smoking hot chemistry with younger male co-stars. She's been able to play Kate as a believable cougar if need be, for about 12 years now going strong.

Yeah I've said it before and will continue to like a broken record, it's absolutely dumb that John being Stefano's brother after everything they've been through, is completely ignored. Not to mention EJ and Brady being cousins to add fuel to their fire.

Kate is the kind of character who, from a narrative perspective, has defied the odds. I hope it holds true again.

Lauren Koslow is one of the sexiest women in daytime, I don't care how old she is. She has a vibe that women half her age don't even know how to comprehend. I will enjoy Kate as a cougar forever...and she's equally at ease with Stefano, certainly someone far older than her.

She plays her like a character from Dynasty, so of course she will be a great cougar. She doesn't even try to be realistic, just soap-realistic. I think LK is great and she should be bedding Chad, stealing Brady from Madison, whatever.

Haha, I also got a Carly and Bobbie vibe not even remembering that she used to play Carly! What if that baby picture we keep seeing is of Madison and she's some long lost daughter of Kate and Stefano. I really dont want them to go there but with this show, I wouldnt be surprised

I'm hoping Madison isn't Kate's long lost daughter, since it would be predictable and we have ENOUGH paternity drama going on at the current movie, but I do think that they'd play the hell out of those scenes. I just really enjoy their rivalry, I'm waiting for it to get personal. Whether it be between mother/daughter or some sort of triangle drama, I want to see it taken to the next level of a classic soap rivalry.

What was the status of John and Jack before? I cant recall them having many scenes before

I'd like to know that too. Loved the scenes between them yesterday, they have a fun rapport and obviously Drake and Matt have been friends off screen since they've been on the show for years. But I don't believe Jack has had much to do with John stories ever. The only thing that's coming to mind is when Jack/Jen were searching for evidence to keep John from being executed.

I have to say, I really like what they're doing with Jack on the show right now. It's a nice new direction for him, while keeping him back in the realm of being the nosy reporter we always loved. Now Jen needs something to do. Because this "publicist" thing is bankrupt.

Other than making Madison, Kate's long lost daughter, they could always pair Madison up with one of Kate's sons. It spun plenty of storylines for Sami.

I hope Kate isn't Madison's mother - she died of cancer (that's a big no-no in terms of coming back from the dead situations).

Weren't Billie and Kate at odds before they found out they were related?

Madison: I had to take charge early on. And then when I was... like, 12 years old, my father took off with some stripper that he met, and-- the son of a bitch. He took everything we had with him, so my mom had to work two jobs, you know... to take care of us. So, at 12, I was taking care of three younger kids.

Brady: I'm sorry.

Madison: Oh, it's-- you know, it's fine. It was good for a while. It worked, you know, till my mom got sick and then-- on the official death certificate, it said that she died of cancer, but I always thought that it was being abandoned like that. You know? Working like a dog for her kids. And wondering why she was never good enough for my father. So, when she was dying, I just made a promise to myself that I would never be anyone's victim. I wasn't gonna end up like that. And here you are. See? Normal, average, everyday life.

I really liked the Jack/John scenes too - more cast interaction and now they have something in common with held captive. I wish John had mention that Stefano had him captive instead of just saying (paraphrasing), "I know what you went through." New viewers might not know that information. I also like that Jack is working on a story again and I hope he goes to see Marlena (again, more cast interaction!).

Could Kate be the stripper that Madison's father went off with?

I would like that better than Kate being Madison's mother. Maybe Kate started out as a stripper before transitioning into a high class hooker.

The show has portrayed Kate as a stripper, in the late 1990s when Sami was holding it over Kate's head, they even stuck a blond wig on Lauren Koslow, played some 70s music and showed a few flashbacks.

Great memory! Kate being that stripper is good possibility then. I think that's where Kate and Madison's backstory intertwine. This is the better story.

I certainly hope so, that'd be a MUCH better story than another long lost child for Kate.

The woman that raised Madison died....there's nothing to say she was her bio-mother
