Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 2, 2024 Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 Seems to me his being someone's son is some kind of group mind wish fulfillment. Since all Sexy Dexy does is have sex, strike poses, get new hairstyle, perhaps we can psychoanalyze this fan wish fulfillment. As armchair Dr. Marlena Evans, the only choice for shrink to the soaps, we'd just say fans want him to be more substantial. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 2, 2024 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 I did forget about the autism storyline, but that also does not mean Dex cannot be Stone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted March 2, 2024 Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 Idk I can't help but wonder if Dex (and Drew too (once again)) are just gonna become afterthoughts now that Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 2, 2024 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 Dex possibly... but I feel like Cameron Mathison was hired well before Burton's decision was made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Aragorn Posted March 2, 2024 Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 Do you think that Jason is the secret buyer of Wyndemere? I think that it is either him or Cyrus? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted March 2, 2024 Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 (edited) I could let it slide, but Jagger made a big old deal about Leo and comparing him to his autistic son. He did say he was doing well and living on his own, but I don't know if that means two tours in the war good lol. It doesn't mean it can't happen, but if I recall Stone's autism as a child was fairly severe. I really don't know enough about autism to know if it's realistic to manage it as an adult as well as it appears Dex has. I tend to agree. The only reason I think Dex might stick around longer is because of Joss. Edited March 2, 2024 by carolineg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carolineg Posted March 2, 2024 Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 I know. I just can't really think of anyone else to pair Joss with and we know she has to have a love interest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 2, 2024 Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 I don't believe it would be credible for someone to be severely autistic in childhood & be somehow incredibly high functioning as an adult. But, my knowledge is only anecdotal. My college roommate has an adult son who was & still is severely autistic & he lives happily in a group home & spends weekends with them. The military would've been out of question for him & he can't work at a regular job. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 2, 2024 Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 AFAIC, now that you-know-who is back, Drew/CM is as good as gone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carolineg Posted March 2, 2024 Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 The military thing is probably what throws me the most if Dex was Stone. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, but I think it might be insulting to backpedal on the autism so much. But I am no expert and don't want to speak about things I don't really know much about. If we had to make Dex Jagger's son I would probably just make him some long lost son he didn't know about or something. I am not advocating more story for Dex to be clear though! Yup! And no one will be sad about it. Well, the one thing I can say about CM is he does manage to find work all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 2, 2024 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2024 Having autism does not mean you can't serve in the army. I think it would just be about how severe it was at the time of joining. But again, who knows? Yes, he does. Surprised Kelly Ripa didn't try and land him for Live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
