+1.  Paul Narita was the best part of the Will/Sonny/Paul triangle.  I love that Christopher Sean has a longstanding appreciation for the show and Drake as his onscreen father. 

Paul was apparently conceived around the same time as Will. While struggling with his newfound priestly responsibilities and keeping his urges for Kristen under control, he randomly boffed Paul's mama who wandered into St. Luke's church.  I mean, sure, I guess. LOL

The fact he got Paul's mom, Isabella, Marlena, and Kristen pregnant in like a 5 year span is a choice for the John character, but it didn't really effect anything so whatever.  Paul could really be just a random guy and I still would have liked him.  Even if he was conceived at the same time as Will he shouldn't be that much younger than Belle/Brady.  And I do get a tiny bit skeeved out that even though they aren't blood related Will probably shouldn't be hooking up with John's son.  John's been married to his grandma his entire life practically and raised his own mom lol.

Yowza!  He's so hot.

It was always very vague as a backstory.  I am pretty sure Paul's mom was the Dimera maid?  Am I wrong about that?

Damn I miss him 

Lmao yeah. Will sure loved his Uncle Paul

Paul’s mother was said to have worked in Stefano’s lab. What they should have done was say that she was in love with John and stole his sperm sample from the lab. It’s far-fetched but better than the lack of explanation we got about Paul’s conception

Thanks.  For some reason I knew she worked for the Dimera's but I could not remember in what capacity.  The whole story was strange.  I think it was just a one night stand and when she went to tell him she was pregnant she found out he was a priest.  Which, apparently that's a deal breaker even though he had kids already?  And apparently Paul's mom (Tori?) never googled her sons father again to find out he wasn't a priest anymore.  Stupid.

Google tells me Tomlin and Whitesell.  Idk, it all was very flimsy because Marlena didn't even care and it's not like John wouldn't have taken care of his own child.  And I don't recall John even being that mad about it.  It was just basically a non story.  Does anyone know if Paul's still paralyzed?

Christopher Sean did great acting on the show, he was committed to his scenes, and had lots of magnetism/dynamism.  So I didn't really care about details of the retcon that brought his character Paul to the canvas.  Drake and CS vibed so well together as father/son, it was really amazing.

Oh!  Nothing against CS.  He's awesome.  I loved Paul.  The story was just dumb and I can overlook it, but it still makes no sense.  It also happened all off screen so I disliked that.  It's not like John is a newbie character.  There was stuff that happened on screen the show could have gone off of.

    • I mean...Sarah Michelle Gellar did go on to be a household name and food guru. I can see Amber doing the same with the same talent.  Amen.
    • It really is ridiculous how happy episodes from 40 years ago make me. God, MKA is so young!
    • Holy sh.it. THAT was a damn soap opera. I’m at a loss for words for how good that was.
    • A private elevator penthouse with a spiral staircase to the primary suite.  Sign me up! The only deficit was that various riff-raffs seemed to have easy access to the elevator.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get it. While I agree with those on here that say he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that.
