“Abigail’s” connection to Clyde Weston (James Read) has been established, and Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans) have figured out she’s a fraud. Now, she’s poised to get busted, and on Monday, October 21, the truth about her true identity is revealed: She is Cat Green, daughter of a very much alive Catherina (who wasn’t killed by John Black years ago), and granddaughter of the late Konstantin Meleounis (John Kapelos).

I wonder if the recent statements by Billy Flynn about the changing directions of this plot were due to the fact that Drake Hogestyn was unavailable to play out the rest of the story?  

Although knowing the history of the character, it probably means that we were spared yet another ret-con about John Black's past.

All the strike stories that were disregarded, and Catherina is the one that gets remembered?

If I may be so bold, I still prefer my idea that Diana is the mother.  And Clyde had information which could get her released from prison.  Diana wouldn't have to stay around too long, and it would prop up Leo.  But, it seemed more realistic than Clyde being able to hold someone prisoner (or needing cash) while he is in maximum prison.

Also, holey retcon Batman, both Steve and John remember Catharina being dead when she was shot.  And if she lived, Konstantin's revenge doesn't make a lot of sense.

Thank God this bitch finally has a name.

She'll be gone by this time next year.

I can't believe Ron decided to bring 4 relatives of Konstantin when fans hated Konstantin. We can't get legacy characters in Salem, but we get all these newbies  ? 

I see why Billy Flynn basically said he was excited when he thought the strike writers were bringing Abby back and lost interest when Ron came back and changed the story.

It will be 5 relatives of Konstantin if Catherina comes to Salem too.

Tamra Judge IN as Catherina Meleounis Greene!

No, but I could seriously see Ron cast Cady McClain as Catherina. That's definitely something he would do.

And, of course, Leo will demand that she's cast on Body & Soul

Also, does this mean that neither Abby nor Catherina are buried in their graves?

The "writer" doesn't control casting, though.
