Oh Flubber, shut up shut up shut up.  YOU were the one who kept quiet about your mother being alive and let Diane sit in prison for months, lying to your husband and everyone else.  And Diane, for all her faults, has always been your cheerleader with Kyle, urging him to forgive you, to stick with you and NOT ONCE did she get even a thank you or anything better than a look of contempt from you.

I didn't think it was possible, but Phyllis managed to have a kid even worse than she is.  With any luck, she'll be imitating her mother and playing dead, too.

Weren't Vic and Cole divorced at the time?  What name was put on the birth certificate?  If it was Eve Newman then she could take that name legitimately.

I was wondering the same thing. Cole was dating Ashley and Vic was dating Neil (and told Cole that the baby was Neil's), but I cannot find confirmation of the timing of their divorce. If they were already divorced I hope Victoria will tell Claire so that she can recalibrate her fantasy of her perfect family. 

When watching back then I was baffled that the baby was premature although Vic had been pregnant for 11 months while TPTB were trying to figure out which way to go with the storyline.

[ezzylin]

On today's Canadian show, we find out that Summer adopted Harrison while they were living in Italy. WTF?! If Summer is indeed Harrison's adoptive mother, that means Tara would've had her parental rights terminated? How did that happen? Also, why would Kyle keep bringing up the fact that Summer is not Harrison's biological mother whenever she threatens to sue him for sole custody? As the adoptive parent, doesn't Summer have the same legal rights to Harrison as Kyle, the biological parent even though they are now divorced?

The storyline is makes absolutely no sense. Josh Griffith has clearly been reading the message boards and is trying to retcon his way out of this mess.

[Kemper]

Watching this soap has turned into experiencing Ground Hog Day. Every day the same conversations, same people, same stories that go nowhere.

I think if they were going to bring Tara back they would have done it by now. I want Harrison's parentage revisited...have someone else be his father. Alan! Victor! Devon! Bueller!

or Theo Vanderway!  (whose name always makes me think of "Art Vandelay" on Seinfeld)

Oookaaay.  So what do his passport papers say about his parents? Also, I don't think Italian courts have that kind of jurisdiction.  Ya probably would have had to do this in the States, Sumsum.  With Tara legally giving up her parental rights.
