This is cool but he seems too young, doesnt he?

I think looks wise they've done great casting. I just hope it's not as lame and as anticlimatic as meeting his so-called mother. As she cowered and feared him slapping her around. I just don't understand handling it like an afterthought. It was so bad, IMO. Let's hope meeting the dad, even if for a few episodes, is better. I'm intrigued by some spoilers for March that involve this so I plan to enjoy a Higs-free show for the next few months before I possibly stop watching for good, depending on the trash she writes.

That's a pretty big "get." Surprised they were able to do it. I guess maybe he just wants the work.

I'm surprised he'd need it, he's worked steadily for decades. Maybe he's a golfing buddy.

 

He looks remarkably like Drake and is a great actor if probably too young. I just don't understand the point of this latest retcon.

Reading his Wikipedia he seems like one of those "love of craft" people, so maybe he got a really good script. Then again I'm not sure there's ever been a good script for John's parentage. It does make me laugh that Shirley Jones was his grandmother (or was it mother?) and now this.

Poor Tobin Bell. Wish he was brought on during a better regime and for something more interesting. 

 

Isn't this like the 1000th John retcon? They should've left John as Forrest Alamain. 

Well technically since they kept the adopted angle, isn't he still Forrest?

 

Go, Jigsaw!!!

Great casting; same eyes. I would sooner think of him as John's brother but maybe they'll cake on the white powder to age him. 

 

That said, I have no doubt the story will be sh.t. 

I mean, he'll only be John's father for six months, a year tops... but still!

I bet the characters last name is MARTIN

They already gave out his name, Tim Robicheaux

Tobin Bell? What did they spend an entire year's budget for this? In any case who decided to write an umpteenth John parentage story? Hasn't it been done to death? I tried watching again for the 50th and enjoyed some of the stories but Days has once again led to disappointment and I quit mostly again after Stefano's death and now this Chase and Ciara mess is just unthinkable.

Joe Mascolo, Peter Reckell, Shawn Christian and Kassie DePaiva are all chained up in Corday's basement. The first one to saw their arm off gets back on the show...LOL

 I doubt Mascolo will be back(sadly Alzheimer's?)  but none the less the rest can wait behind Louise Sorel  Crystal Chappell, and Matt Ashford as those thrown under the bus time and time again. We'll see Billy Warlock and Andrew Masset again to swoop up Jennifer and Hope respectively(playing into JER's theory of true love is always your first!) for the series finale before Reckell and Ashford.
