 Quinn’s relationship with Vivian.  He knows what Quinn does and is out to ruin him.  

 I can’t remember exact specifics but someone took him away after Lawrence tried and almost did drown him in the family pool.  He was removed for his safety but the family was told he drowned.  John and Lawrence weren’t that far apart in age when they showed the ‘flashback’ of the accident.  Lawrence was very jealous of Forrest.  I don’t remember much about their mother but their father had the arranged marriage with Carly (aka Katerina) and Lawrence.   Kat wasn’t that into Lawrence back then either but she got pregnant at around 16/17 with Nicholas.  Vivian was there when she gave birth to him and Vivian pretended he died and then raised him herself.  The ages on the characters will never match up.  If Carly had Nicholas at 17, then finished school with Jenn  in Switzerland where they were in the same boarding school, then became a doctor (without taking the buy a license from your local med school), she’d have to be (17+1 year of HS+4 years undergrad+4 years of med. school+3 or more years for internship/residency+2 years for the time she was in Salem before she left with Lawrence and Nicky was a teenager) at least 31 when she had Melanie with Daniel since they claimed she was married to Lawrence and was already a doctor.  So if Melanie is now 21 (she drinks so she has to be at least that), and Carly had her when she was at  least 31, Carly would now be around 52 which is just about right.  Nicholas should be about 35, which is closer to the real of age Victor Webster (?) who played the Nicolas who had the flings with Kate/Billie.

 just remember that Bo (when he was a lot younger and first came on the show) was a hoodlum!  So, he joins the Salem PD and becomes the comish!  hmmm reality?? I don’t think so!

 investigation and that is how/why John and Marlena return?  If it is the DA and someone really high up suspects something, then keeping Bope off the case to get as much proof as possible, might make sense.  Bope tend to do what they want when it comes to getting their suspect so there must be a reason behind keeping them away.  

Maybe it will involve Carly’s son, Nicholas? I really think it will be the DA though.

 character name right for Maggie either!  I would think it might be fun for her to do a short thing with her father since they’ve never worked together before.  Since they are taping way ahead of schedule, I wouldn’t think it would be as hard to do as this article indicates either.

 Victor Webster (the last Nicholas’ actor) is 38 years old but Eric Von Detten  (played Nicholas in 1992-93) is only29 – still both are older than Melanie.   The character’s, Nicholas James Alamain, show birthdate was October 4, 1984 making the character 27 years old or he should be the same as the twins, Samantha and Eric.   Hmmm, funny how some age and some de-age!
