 I remember reading something a while back that a new teen would be introduced who had a secret of his own.  I think this is him and his secret is that he is gay but has not come out yet.  He may be suspected of being gay, but he hasn’t revealed it yet to my knowledge.

 and facing charges, but she hired E.J. as her lawyer and she got out on bail.  That’s when she started palling around with Nicole.  Then she met John Black, who thought at the time that he was a DiMera (Stefano’s brother), and she somehow talked him to leaving everything, including Marlena, and taking control of his new life, which he did, and the two of them started having an affair.  Then, when E.J. told her her chances of avoiding prison were bleak and they weren’t going to win because one of the cousins she hired to sabatoge the plane was going to testify against her, she skipped bail and left Salem.

 budget restrictions, but I do miss the old days when we did more scenes on location.

 this, too, will be a recycled Will Horton "coming out of the closet" sl"; that’s why we’ll be seeing him literally bumping into Paul from the start.  I don’t believe Paul’s going to be his lover, but more like his mentor, like Sonny was for Will.  It was obvious to me that when one of the kids at the party called Henry that horrible "F" word (which I detest), telling him not to ever look at him that way, that we were heading for a new gay kid in town sl.  Now, I think Paul will see it before anyone else does and help him to ‘come out.’  JMO.

 that’s what I believe.  I think the show kept this spoiler quiet along with making sure none of the cast revealed it before it happened.  

 from 16 to 18, AND they are allowed to drink alcohol.  This is absolutely ridiculous.  It was so weird to see Belle and Claire at the Edge of the Square and Claire boldly ordering a gin and tonic.  I believe the law states that the legal age to purchase and/or consume alcohol in the U.S. is 21.  As for the SORASING, to go from 16 to 18 just another stupid writing excuse to explain why they could be drinking.  I just figured maybe it’s because they are writing the teens to be a really troubled group who will be facing real grown-up problems, and that’s fine, but it would have been better for me to just watch them be teenagers with nothing more than typical problems for now that most teens have with their parents, their peers, teen relationships, school problems, proms, etc., rather than have to watch them be rapists and murderers.  

 that were stolen.  I remember Victor and/or Maggie saying there was more than one, which was used to conceive Daniel.  Maybe this girl is one of Maggie’s egg babies, a brother to Daniel, but raised by Daniel’s parents until they died.
