Yes.  Steve and Victor both had good relationships with John and have for years.  It's really difficult for me to imagine these men watching John struggle with his past and just not telling him anything.  Especially Steve!

I do get a bit confused with the timeline of when Stefano had John and when Victor got him.  Victor was also never the one doing the brainwashing on John, so I don't know where the goofy playing card comes in.

In the original storyline, once the whole game/competition thing that Victor was a part of collapsed, he stole the Pawn from Petrov and kept him at his house for a little while. Victor then decided to have the Pawn moved to another location, but while they were moving him, he broke out and ran off. And that's when Steve found him and kept him at his apartment. Steve only kept him because he thought that if he was the one who found the Pawn, he'd have a good chance to move up in Victor's organization. I'm not even sure if Victor ever even found out that Steve kept the Pawn from him.

It's so silly because like @j swiftpointed out John did so many things before he came to Salem and he wasn't really very old when he appeared.  You can only fit so much backstory in.  It reminds me of GH when they told us Sam had been married like 5! times before she came to Port Charles and Sam was about 25 when she showed up.

I think they could have made Konstantin and everything with him fit in, without messing up the timeline or rewriting history.

They could have said something like Konstantin also did business with Stefano back then. And that Stefano sent his Pawn to Greece to kill him and accidently killed his daughter. 

It's a bit of stretch but at least it wouldn't contradict anything.

Fair enough.

I still think this is an attempt to give Steve a story more than John to be honest though.  Steve needs more to do than to find Tripp from his 50th kidnapping and talk to Stephanie about her love life.  John really doesn't appear enough to necessitate a big story.

I totally agree with @carolineg Steve needs a purpose beyond advice to the lovelorn.  I also think a geriatric detective agency, where they're related to all of their clients, feels like pandering for Steve and John to have something to do.  So, I propose three new roles for Steve and John. (1.) Daycare, let's give Julie a break, somebody needs to raise Chad's kids and John is so good with children. (2) Matchmaking, Salem doesn't seem to have dating apps so welcome to black/patch the city's newest yentas who will provide research to make sure your new boyfriend doesn't have amnesia. And (3) An employment agency for ex-spies, from Harris to Shane, Salem is filled with ex-ISA agents, and they can't all be police commissioners, so let's let John and Steve find them jobs in the tech or fashion industries.

However, given the new AI establishing shots, I would advise black/patch to stair clear of window washing the many new highrise buildings in Salem because with one eye, and an out of warranty brain chip I worry about accidents. 

BTW, I'm giving the new producer a month to coordinate the establishing shots with the sets.  The current views out of the windows make no sense.

    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
    • Thanks @Franko  @slick jones You may be interested in the Elisabeth Shue mention. I have to laugh that they apparently didn't even know Teri Hatcher was on Capitol. I have scans somewhere of SPW talking with soap actors about Soapdish. Some, like Mary Stuart, were not happy. I never had a lot of interest in the movie myself. 
    • I never had much of a problem with Brandon Claybon's performance as Martin. He has gotten much better though. While I enjoy his confrontational scenes, I must say his lighter, and carefree scenes from Thursday's episode are the ones that stood out most in the last 3 days (to me).   I agree with all of this!
    • I know that Secret Storm had moved back to the 4/3 PM timeslot in the final months on air, so it's possible that they were trying to employ new techniques/elements to lure the teen demographic.   If that episode was around November/December 1973, I do wonder if the owners (AHS) were still trying to shop the show to other networks still.. or if they had accepted that the show was going to officially go off the air in Feb 1974 at the time of this episode airing.
    • Jordan should have been killed or written out a decade ago.
    • Xander kidnapped her a few times when she was a baby I much prefer this bitchy version of Rafe to the dull one we have had for the past few years. Leo would get on my last nerve too and I would probably have snapped by now too. Loved Roman and Doug3. My favourite scenes today. Much better than his forced kindness to Ava. About time somebody pointed out Sophia is an adult any minute and can decide her own life. This is not Handmaid's Tale. I bet Mrs Choi snatches that baby though if Sophia signs it over to 'strangers'  
    • Hmm, well, I thought yesterday was "Dialog City" so at least IMO it was well done talk. Today I'm all about how harsh Dante just was to Gio & I get it that he's so scared but it's all coming out like anger - and judgment, harsh judgment. But, what they're doing is putting as much bad, troubling icky stuff between Dante & Gio as they can & it's a set-up. Good writing, acting, directing, tho. What's weird is I only recently realized that Lulu does not know it's Gio. However, I just had a thought. One day last week someone tried to kill Sonny & got killed. That wasn't words. That was action.
