he's the child Donna gave up for adoption when she was 16.

This ought to be interesting. Since Donna appears to be maybe 30 then her child ought to be just about 15 or 16 but the guy they showed yesterday looks like he's at least 22. He had the "Texas" tattoo so I'm confused as to if that's him or not. If it is, it's the most ridiculous casting decision I've ever seen....but that's just me!

Think so because I read something to that effect. Sounds like another silly plot. I really wish B&B would do something we could all stand behind.

While I think that this is an interesting new twist, I will agree with the fact that the guy who is playing her son is just a tad bit to old for the age he is meant to play. However, this could show that Donna isn't some twentysomething, age wise, and adds a bit of age, like in her 30's, to show that she isn't just some teenager. Especially since now she is married to Eric. But just remember how old Brooke was when she married Eric and now has Rick who is almost hitting the 30 mark himself. This coupled with something I read about Beth Logan possibly returning?? (Did I read that in Soap Opera Digest recently?) Maybe she is there to help push the story along as well as cause some kinda of a twist for Eric and Donna since Eric once had an affair with her. But we shall see as the storyline continues, but I do think that have to re-write history, that could have happened off camera many years ago, does work... Remember Morgan???

Maybe it will work, we will have to see but I always have problems when soaps age a child that was born like two or three years ago and all of a sudden they are 18 or 20. It is so silly to me.

This was never established, as for his age, the writers think we don't remember timelines or ages. It was establsihed that Storm was born in 1964, he's the oldest. So, how old is Brooke? How can Brooke be younger and her son Eric be 32, which was established when he came on show about 3 yrs. ago, and was 29. I guess she had him at 12.

Maybe she was raped at 16? Or we'll find out she had a black boyfriend and her family insisted she give him up for adoption, This storyline wont work, anytime the soaps do this, i,e. black-white relationships it doesn't work, whether it's a multi-racial adult relationship or a child. Remember, Kristen and her husband adopted Zende. That story was over before it began.
