Exactly. When Nicholas Augustino Aitoro aka "Gus" found out that Alan Spaulding was "Biological" Father on Guiding Light, he never called Alan "Dad", it was always Alan. Even on the Father's Day Episode in June 2007, he thought of his Late Father Joe and said "I Miss You Pop". He and Alan wouldn't have gotten along.

It's just so funny to hear these B&B fans talk about "Massimo Marone" when this man was Stefano Dimera forever on Days of our Lives! He was beyond the "Victor Newman" of Days and came back from the dead more times than fans could count until the real actor died. That man played the role of a villain on Days, but he was the best villain in soap opera land!

It depends on which writer you follow. If you pay attention to the original writer William Bell Ridge is definitely Eric's biological son. The Thorne shooting and Bridget's paternity stories. If Ridge wasn't Eric's son it would have come out with these two stories. A few years later Bradley Bell rewrites Ridge's paternity. I don't know if you've noticed, but Bradley Bell has an incestuous way of writing. Changing Ridge's paternity he could put Ridge with Bridget, Rick with Phoebe and Steffy, Thomas with Ivy. Also putting Thomas and Hope together two people that have spent many years as step siblings. The writers should have brought on Massimo and the rest of the Marones as a new family to go up against the Foresters like they had the Spectras. Bradley Bell does a lot of rewrites of stories and characters and I think that he forgets that he does. Hence I think that he forgot that he changed Ridge's paternity. As far as I'm concerned Eric is still Ridge's biological son because Bradley Bell does too much rewriting for me to take him and his writing seriously.

Oh Ridge & Massimo, you have no idea what Eric did. He married Stephanie to give his child a name and while Stephanie's Father financed Forrester, Ridge wasn't half the Son to Eric that Eric was as a Father. Ridge sleeps with Brooke when she's married to Eric, she takes Forrester away in a Hostile Takeover, then Ridge kicks it with Quinn. Then the whole Paternity issue takes place and for Ridge it's History repeating itself since he was devastated when he finds out Bridget isn't his but Eric's.

This was one of the worst writing ploys the Bells EVER put out. They wanted to hire Stephano DiMera, fine, hire him. But they destroyed the Forester family. They blew it up with this big reveal just as if they set off an atom bomb. It brought Nick and Jackie and spiced things up for a while but they could have done that with just introducing a new family into Los Angeles. With this big lie Stephanie told, it negated Eric ever having to marry her because she was pregnant. Now the Marone family is just like it never was. All traces are gone. Even the baby produced by Brookes egg and Nicks sperm. Gone! Just a nothing burger.

Nick son Jack will probably return to cause trouble at some point. Jack like the closets to a full sibling RJ have since thier father's were brother's and they have the same mom. One difference Brooke didn't give birth to him Taylor did. He wasn't even supposed to be Brooke kid. Kind of wish he could have been Taylor biological son just so that Taylor could have a kid that wasn't Ridge. I guess then Taylor kids would have a 2/3 sibling instead of RJ. Think that's what they call it when half siblings are also 1st cousins.

@@msrain1235 Like Stephanie would have let that happen...her behavior towards Eric son Thorne is indication enough for me she was hiding something about Ridge. She favored just Ridge and despised Thorne because he was just like Eric. The writer's coming to the conclusion that Ridge wasn't Eric's actually fits with Stephanie's behavior and favoritism over the years you can tell she loved Massimo Marone more and greatly despised Eric Forrester due to her treatment of her sons that represent them, but they kept her with Eric due to Stic fans despite it not being a healthy relationship blaming it on the "kids". This "rewrite" made sense unlike the retcon about Brooke and NuRidge where they try and erase his love for Taylor because the actress left. Ridge didn't love either woman it was always him obsessing over traits of Caroline Sr. between two women. Brooke looked like Caroline physically but Taylor had her goodness and spirit. Yet they pretend he loved Brooke the schemer for years when he was repulsed by her.
