So, what do you think? Is the Gloved One a leftover JER creation, or was he/she invented by the transitional writers as a means of wrapping up lingering JER stories? TGO seems like the means to an end, so that's why I don't think he was created by Reilly.

It's just too convenient.

He or she is new. And though I'll get lampooned, I'm saying [!@#$%^&*] did that. Just like she did EJ.

Just a guess, of course, but I think it was a tool used by the transition team to wrap up some stories and create a little chaos in others until the new writing team could get in place.

I think it's Bart working for Stefano. I also think the gloved hand is JER's creation. The mystery and the gloved hand screwing with EVERYONE'S lives in Salem, just screams JER. I hope the gloved hand is here to only resolve the current horrendous storylines and once they're resolved, the gloved hand will be revealed and hopefully, that won't be another new mystery.

This is my thinking too and the identity of the hand will be decided by Hogan when his work begins.

IMO:

The glove is new people's character.

EJ is so ridiculously, mind-blowingly JER's, it's BLATANTLY obvious. Not to mention, EJ was created on paper in February/March.

I don't know what's going on, but the gloved hand is about the best character on the show now.

I agree! and EJ, Patch, Kayla, Sami, John and Marlena

I wish the gloved hand would be Jan but there is no sign of Lindell or Olson returning (I prefer Lindell), it would be so great if she stole Shawn's sperm and put another sperm in Belle's jar!

is there any news on Joseph Moscollow returning as Stephano?
