It seems unnecessary because you would think if they had to give John another kid it would be from his forgotten past or another kid with Marlena from 1986.  It really didn't cause a lot of drama either.  There was a moment John/Paul didn't get along but it passed quickly and Marlena didn't care, so why did the show even do it lol

I know.  You would think Paul's mom would at least secretly check up on her sons father every now and then.  He was clearly in the newspapers during that time.

CS was so wasted and it was annoying.

That would have made more sense.  Especially the former option.  John's pre-Pawn past is both convoluted and a blank slate.  Anything could have happened during those years.  Anything.

Yeah.  And there was no weight to his one night stand with Tori.  It's a who cares situation. They weren't in a relationship and she was no threat to Marlena.   A child and a wife from his past would a bit more interesting.  Not that I can see anything being a threat to John/Marlena, but some insight into that past would nice.  But I guess we have been down that road a million times before.  I don't know if you are going to give John another kid at least try to make it dramatic lol

Ron was answering questions.  Fame10 just wanted to give it a scandalous headline for clickbait.

@Errol already reported Ron's tweets here (without that headline)

Fame10 added an additional tweet to their report, which showed Ron being slightly exasperated.

However fame10 didn't report this: the tweeter Ron was slightly exasperated with? That person tweeted an apology to Ron.

Or, he could have been RealRoman's kid, conceived during either time he was away from Salem.  (It's DAYS, so it really doesn't matter.). I mean, if you're gonna have Josh Taylor on your show, you might as well do something with him, right, lol?

Yeah definitely, but then we lose Christopher Sean because he's Asian lol.  And CS was the best thing about Paul.   But a Diana/John kid would have made actual sense.

Paige 100% should have been Frankie's.

Lol.  No one would seriously care about a Roman kid.  He already got two more in Rex/Cassie and Paul would then actually be related to Will.

When has that ever stopped a soap? He still could've been Paul. Remember Blair from OLTL who was Asian and somehow she became Kassie Depaiva.

    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
