Lucas has the Adrienne story, so I can't see them giving him another. I can see John knowing Paul's mother from his days as Stefano's pawn. He might have helped her escape Stefano when she realized that she was pregnant. He might not remember their full relationship and might think there was more. So using him as a false father would be an option.
Although Stefano has many children, Chad is the only one that is on the canvas regularly. Chad is establishing himself as the heir apparent. Paul would put a wrench in that. Chad and Paul clashing would be major drama. Much more than Chad and Ben. Besides, imagine Will's reaction when he finds out that he's a DiMera. He would think that Paul purposely sought him out. After all, it's all about Will.

I presume they won't put forward Lucas as one of Paul's possible dads, not after he slept with Will who would be his half-brother! Shameless (original version) might have done it but not Days. They even retconned John's parentage just so Theresa and Brady could sleep together - and they would only have been second cousins had they let John's Brady-DiMera parentage stand. I would love to see Stefano and Chad deal with Paul, although I agree the old fella has fathered way too many kids as it is. But John is frankly not at all compelling and there is zero drama in him being Paul's dad - who would care? Or maybe - just maybe - they'll outwit us and have Paul's dad be a genuinely random guy. How's that for a change? Instead of having every single person on the show related to someone else and continuing the tradition of long-lost love children coming out of the woodwork. I agree it would be a nice change of pace to keep Paul unrelated to anyone, but I can see the show doing it since it will give Paul a reason to put down roots in Salem. Also agree that there is no drama in Paul being related to John, but who knows? Since they went with Theresa and Brady, they might want to take advantage of that with Will and Paul. Anyway, with old Stefano on the scene soon, I could see the show building up the DiMeras by making Paul Stefano's son. There have been complaints that Chad is the only DiMera on canvas for the first time in ages. When Sonny was rumored to be cast on the show, there was a lot of talk about a missed opportunity to make Chad and Will a couple. People thought a gay DiMera would be an interesting concept, so now is their chance. Trish is right about the DiMera thread running through with Will's mother and grandmother. Sonny has been likened to Rafe and Lucas a lot on various message boards. Paul could end up being Will's EJ. Even looking at the other day, Will is clearly attracted to Paul and that might not change even if Paul loves Sonny. Looking at the Sonny angle, he and Paul having a thing could be good drama for the Kiriakis/DiMera war.

I loved the scenes with Kate and Sonny. Yes, Kate thinks lying and money will solve all problems, but you can tell how much she cares about Sonny, and you can tell how much Sonny likes her, too. The actors are good together. Sonny should accept her money. It's not like he hasn't already accepted DiMera money ... Finally Will buys a clue about the effect on Sonny of his behavior while he was in LA. I needed to see that emotion and realization from Will. I like that we saw just enough emotion without going over the top. They need to save that for the reveal scenes between Will and Sonny. On a shallow note, Christopher Sean was rocking that shirt.

Thanks, mrfixit! So Will implied the truth to Kate. Interesting that he didn't even say the words. I agree with you, teachgirl, that it was nice to see Will start to realize what he's done and how it has (and will) affect Sonny. Kate's reaction was classic Kate. Not sure that's a good thing or a bad thing . I kind of like how Kate got Sonny to at least consider taking a loan. It probably is better than being indebted to uncle Victor.

I like that Will was so self aware in that scene. He said everything that we've been saying for months. I know Guy has been getting flack for his emotional scenes already, but I think he hit just the right note for someone in a public place. Obviously,they are going to save the fireworks for when Sonny finds out. Plus, they haven't actually touched on why Will cheated. He admitted to Kate that it wasn't for the article, but then Paul called. I've always loved Sonny and Kate's relationship and I wonder how it will be affected by Will cheating and Kate knowing. I thought Kate was just being practical and looking at the bigger picture, but I wish Will would tell the truth. I liked Will encouraging Paul and telling him to be hopeful about his ex. He doesn't yet know that the ex is his husband, but it was sweet nonetheless . Will seems to enjoy helping Paul. I wonder what Paul and Will,s relationship will be like after this. Paul has confided in Will a lot. They could have been friends and I wonder if either of them will miss that relationship.

Thanks, mrfixit!! I liked that Sonny brought a rose to Will. I wish the show wouldn't keep doing these near-misses with Sonny on the other side of a door. I was also hoping Zoe would bring Will the rose and say "Sonny brought this" just as Paul was leaving. To a certain extent I think Kate is asking the right questions of Will (why did he do it, how does he feel about Paul, etc), but her advice to him to keep quiet is flat-out wrong. Her claim that whatever Sonny doesn't know can't hurt him is overly simplistic, and she should know better. I'm not even necessarily saying that Will has to tell Sonny the truth (though I think it would ultimately be for the best). But Kate isn't in that relationship; Will is. Will and Sonny are the ones who would have to live with it, however it came out. Will has to use his best judgement about what's best for his relationship. I suppose to a certain extent Will might be looking for absolution, and realistically Sonny is the only one who could do that, but Will couldn't expect Sonny to forgive him quickly. I am wondering again why Paul's mother didn't want to come. Hmm.

I believe that if it's a one time thing and Will won't make the mistake again, no need to tell Sonny. He just needs to live with the guilt and get over it. People who insist on telling their sins is usually about their guilt and not the other person's need to know something.

If this was real life I would agree with you, but we all know that this is Salem and nothing stays hidden for long. Plus, that sexy bellhop is still loitering around the hotel Paul is staying at. When all this comes out, Will is going to get doubly persecuted for cheating and then lying about it. Maybe he tries to tell the truth, but he doesn't get the chance.

Shut up, Kate. Gotta hand it to her, though, she can think on her feet.
Right, Sonny, because burying and not discussing your problems worked so well last time. @@
I'm glad we got that kiss and hug. I have a feeling we won't be seeing that again for a while.

Thanks, mrfixit! Well, Will not telling Sonny the truth was not surprising . I think what bothers me is that Kate somehow feels it is her business to tell Will what to do. She didn't just suggest or offer advice. And in the latest clip she even injected herself into the conversation with Sonny when he asked what was up. Why is it so important to her that Will lie to Sonny?

I believe it has to do with Kate knowing that as bad as it sounds, sometimes a lie is better than the truth. Will cheated he needs to deal with it. Its his guilt. Telling Sonny right now is as though he is asking for absolution for his acts, he is tired of carrying around the guilt now he wants to pass it on and sort of lessen its hold on him. Kate knows from personal experience that with the freedom of truth comes harsh consequences that can cause more damage than the lie ever did. Now unless Paul ends up pregnant, or recorded the act and willing to blackmail Will, I say, its his guilt, let him suffer, learn from it and move on.

One bit of information at a time is getting out. I wonder what Sonny is going to think once he learns that Will's article is about Paul. Even if he doesn't put the pieces together about Will cheating, he's going to feel strange. I wonder if he'll tell Will that Paul is his ex (and, if so, when). I also started to wonder if Will's guilt will prompt him to confess before it's revealed, though I doubt it. Hmm...

OMG. I just can't. Finally things are getting interesting. I would never thought that Sonny would find out about the affair before he got stabbed. I thought they are going to drag that out. Thanks Derrick, I very much need that drama NOW!!! And Christopher Sean did really well in the coming out scenes. And I hope the actor playing Derrick will stay longer in the show, he very much added some comic relief. He is always blurting out stuff at the wrong times (though for this instance, it's very much perfect timing.) Can't wait for Thursday and Friday's episodes.
