Let me throw in a young Miranda montage (most of 'em):

[AllMyDaysatGH]

I agree!

Right

Do you really think were going to have Spike, Ian, Emma, etc on the show as well? I'm not sure but I'd totally welcome it. At least Spike/Ian with Zach on the show and all.

[Vee]

!@#$%^&*] no, some of those kids need to be off in boarding school. There were entirely too many by the end. I keep forgetting Jenny and Gabrielle exist.

Granted, a Kate/Jenny sibling story is gold someday. But not yet.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

LOL, I actually agree with you for the most part. But some of the story ideas in here have me hoping otherwise

[Angela]

No, not all of them.

My gut feeling is one of Kendall's children will be back when Kendall returns.

My only hesitation is how they'll age that child. Spike may be 12 instead of 14 or 16.

[jfung79]

No, I don't think so. I don't think we know who JR is yet.

Agree with Vee and others about the new AJ looking believably like an aged version of the last child actor.

[Angela]

Dude, we're not kidding.

He could be this fabulous. Kurt or Blaine would work for me, but with his genes I'd expect more Blaine:

[Vee]

I swear to God, if the new J.R. is Van [!@#$%^&*] Hansis I'll never stop laughing.

[All My Shadows]

Good god, I remember how adorable the baby boys who played Miranda were. And how AJ's actors had enormous heads.

[Angela]

I'll cry. No offense VH.

I like Jacob Young but if he's not coming back this is a good opportunity to get a more formidable in stature JR.

[PeterAKer]

Eric Nelsen looks very similar to Cady McClain and Jacob Young and I think he will work as A.J. Chandler III.

[Vee]

I always thought the little moppet playing A.J. was so wooden, but his final scenes with Jacob Young were pretty damn heartbreaking. That kid was clearly really upset. You very rarely get that kind of performance out of a soap kid unless they're a seasoned one like Jesse or Kimberly or Kristen (in the old days) that the show knows they can use. It was somehow rawer from this kid because he was clearly not much of an actor.

Here it is, around 4:00:

[jfung79]

With all the ATWT people in production, and AJ being blond/light brown again, combined with the Twitter rumor, I think it really could be Van.

I'd be fine with it. He's a good actor, with stature, and his JR probably wouldn't be as expressionless as Jacob Young's. It would be irony if Van is playing the straight dad to a bisexual AJ. (This is all just fan what ifs of course, but I've never seen so much excitement about a story idea that people just threw out there as there has been about a Spike/AJ/Miranda thing.)

[Angela]

I was going to mention the boy thing, then I thought to myself "wait, wasn't it Spike that was played by a not same-sex baby?" It was both. Miranda was a boy for a while and Spike was a girl for a while. Girl Spike - (s)he looked just like Kendall/AM. Why do I find that the babies have more personality when they're "playing" a different sex?

Watching this, I realize McTavish clearly wanted to be the "birth mother" of the entire next generation of AMC.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

He does favor Cady! I'm imagining the AJ/Dixie scenes now...Can't wait!

Oh I know it, Angela And I could totally get behind it with you guys!
