SUMMER SPOILERS!

Abe Carver is not Brandon Walker's father. The paternity was already established with the intro of Paul Mendez. HE is Brandon's father...that's why the show casted a guy whose ethnic background was close to that of Brandon's portrayer.

Billie is not trailing Bo and Hope as of yet. Right now it's a mysterious MAN wearing a watch and cracking his knuckles. It is rumored to be Larry Welch (Hope's ex), but it is definately some guy from their past.

Days will not recast the role of Eric Brady. Jensen Ackles will be the only actor to be offered the role. So when he wants to come back...depending if the show needs the character at that time...Jensen is it.

Look for a mild storyline between Caprice and Celeste. It's already begun if fans are watching closely.

"Ali Sweeney (Sami) posted a few spoilers on this message board about what is to come this summer... 'Sami and Brandon do get hot and heavy this summer...if you can survive the summer, I (Ali) expect you will have some true inspiration for your FanFics (this is a Lucas and Sami board remember!) come mid-September. Lucas wants something from Sami.'"
