i can't think of 20 right now so here's 7.

#1) GH: I've always wanted them to explore who Sam's father is and really showcase what that would mean for Alexis and Sam if the truth came out and we found out that sam was the daughter of someone else on the canvas.

#2) AMC: I'm a bit surprised this hasn't been done yet--but what if Erica all these years has kept a giant secret from everyone: when she gave up Kendall for adoption she really gave up TWINS and that Kendall has a twin brother out there that she doesn't know about? and what if that twin brother turned out to be someone already in Pine Valley---What if it turns out her twin brother is a close friend (or enemy) of Kendall's and Erica has known this the entire time. This would cause much drama for everyone involved...

#3) OLTL: I'd like to see more of Viki's family on the Lord side of the family. She's become too much of a Buchanan---they need to bring back a member of the Lord family (who isn't Tina)---maybe her long dead sister Meredith had a child or something that could come back holding some giant Lord family secret that even Viki didn't know...

#4) OLTL: I want to know once and for all who Rex's father is. Roxy has kept the secret long enough. Time to spill.

#5) AMC: With Fusion such a major part of the storyline i'd like to see Erica reopen Enchantment and cause a real rivarly between the two---now that Liza is coming back maybe she can regain her control of Fusion and Erica and Liza can go head-to-head.

#6) GH: I've always thought it would be interesting if we found out after all these years that Michael really was Tony Jone's kid afterall and that inteference from The Quatermaines, Sonny and Jason got all the tests mixed up and nobody ever knew the real truth. this would give a wealth of material to play off of---Carly would have to come clean about her past and how selfish she was--Bobbie and her would come full circle and would be at each other's throats again; the Q's would feel robbed all over again of their minor connection to Michael; Sonny would feel betrayed---basically everyone would feel betrayed. Sadly since Tony is now dead it wouldn't have the same effect it would have if he was still alive and on the canvas.

#7) AMC: We never did find out who Skye Chandler's birth father was... We know it wasn't Alan Quatermaine (damn Rea always lied about it and was such an easy lay) so maybe she comes back to Pine Valley just trying to reconnect with whatever family she has left and mistakenly comes across some documents that suggest that maybe her birth father is closer than she thinks; starting the mystery all over again. This might provide some chance for Rea to make an apperance again and provide some details that have as of now been left unsaid.

I Would Love a murder mystery regarding Todd Manning on OLTL

on OLTL i want them to explore who Blair's father is and what that means for her and Addie.

Hmmm interesting topic.

Days
I want to know how EJ ended up being raised by Stefano. What happened between the time he was with Susan and Edmund, to suddenly being whisked away by Stefano? And I'd like to know whether Stefano knows what happened to Kristen for good measure. There've been some rumours (unreliable, but whatever) that Eileen Davidson might not renew her contract Y&R so if all that comes to pass, I hope she eventually goes back to Days and play out her relationship to EJ.

Y&R
I want Nina to find her long-lost child that got stolen from her when she was a teen.

GH
The dead of Jason, Sonny, Carly and Sam.

One reason why OLTL won't bring on Blair's father is because they'll have to justify how her father would be white when the character came to town as an Asian woman.

B&B

Sheila returns as a serial killer and kills off Steffy, Thomas, Katie and Bill. She also hurts Jackie and Owen. Amber comes to town, and Sheila murders Amber by severing her head off onscreen. Sheila chops April, Amber's twin in 2. Birth records show that April and Amber have no missing triplet, and Bridget makes sure that Amber and April were definitely killed off for good. Sheila's given a victory party for killing off Amber, April, Bill, Katie, Steffy and Thomas.

After being dumped by Ridge and then Thorne, Tay becomes a scorned psycho drunk and marries Stephen Logan so she can be closer to Ridge and torment Brooke.

Felicia vs. Donna catfighting. Felicia finds her donor, who happens to be a lookalike for Storm Logan. Felicia brings him to FC to torment Donna. Felicia and Justin become a couple, and this drives Donna insanely jealous.

Justin Barber brings Y&R's Drucilla to town, who takes over Jackie M. Eric/Dru/Thorne.

Mechad Brooks, the sexy actor who played Betty Applewhite's studly son on Desperate Housewives, joins as a gay model, who begins a triangle with Rick and Casper, Owen's gay twin brother.

Owen and Caspar use sugar mommie Jackie to buy the strip club that Dylan used to "work" in and become strippers there since getting practically naked is the only skill Owen and Casper are good for. Rick then joins them, and so does Marcus.

I thought it was established that Susan DID raise E.J and that it was not until he was older that Stefano came into his life?

I think severe SORAS will ever prevent EJ's childhood from being timely relevant on DAYS.

As for Eileen Davidson, I have wanted her back at DAYS for years now, but it would be bittersweet if she returned now that Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn are no longer on the show

I've always wanted more exposition of EJ's past as well. They mentioned really briefly the other day that Stefano came into EJ's life at some point after he'd clearly been with Susan and Edmund for a while, and I was hoping to learn more. JER severely jumped the gun with bringing in EJ the way he did without even a hint of an explanation as to what happened between his leaving Salem with Susan and Edmund and coming back as a DiMera soldier. I know the timeline is extremely screwed up because of the insane SORAS they pulled, but the basics of how Stefano not only came into EJ's life, but also inspired the respect and loyalty EJ holds for him. EJ has become an interesting character, pretty much by accident, because of how he vacillates between being Stefano-level ruthless and wanting to be Brady-level upstanding.

I would of course LOVE to see a Kristen return and find out about what became of her and what Stefano may have known about it, but without Marlena or John, it would be a little hollow.

Lexie, and by extension Abe, needs more story. I always wanted them to explore the Lexie/Daniel relationship a little more. He's got to be bored of Chloe by now right? And that could push something with maybe Abe and Fay or perhaps even Celeste, since they were seeming pretty coupley when Lexie was missing. Tension between Lexie and Abe should be really easy to create, actually, since she's becoming more invested in her father again and he is the mayor. Just that state of being is practically a conflict of interest.

I wanna see Lexie embrace her inner Dimera again. I don't mean more baby swapping hijinx, but rather make her more snarky and involved in hospital intrigue and the like.

Oh, and I wouldn't mind her having a affair with Daniel. That would be hot.

As of now on OLTL I really want to see how this whole Kim trying to get Clint will go.

If I was writing this I would include all of the fun hijinks, but overtime make Kim a viable love for Clint and have it be a millionaire falling for the younger woman story, b/c I think Amanda Setton could pull it off beautifully and it will give Jerry's version of Clint a good storyline.

for the first time in daytime history instead of aging a character they reverse age them and michael, christina and morgan become babies again and get the hell off my screen. Molly can stay.

can we just kill Sonny and Jason already? Have Carly declared unfit to raise children and have the Quatermaines or Jax take over raising the children.

Have Monica and Jax embroiled in a huge custody battle over who can raise the children... Have Bobbie get involved as well.

As much as I wouldn't mind seeing Sonny or Jason getting killed off I'd much rather see one or both of them be sent to jail. And see them trying to cope with that.

And as much as I despise the fact that Michael killed Claudia, I want GH to take this as an opportunity for Michael to leave his violent family and choose for himself to truly become a Quartermaine.
