I know, right, David? But, like it or not, this will, indubitably, involve Sonny, one way or another.
Another out-of-the-woodwork, illegitimate son? Grandson? The sperm king strikes again?

I’m with you. WHO CARES!

Agreed.

Yes, Jacob. I like that, too….DePaiva ( I keep forgetting the doc’s name) could be the father.
This kid just appeared out of the blue.
TPTB could be introducing younger characters; teens. Not much of a storyline if it does not involve teen stories. The same is going on with Y&R. These teens are introduced, “storyless”, where all the drama is about the adults, using the teens as a vessel.
We adults are not interested and the teen viewer, if any watches, will find it lame, in my opinion.

Grazie, Alberto.

I think it is Seth Meyer making Oscar, Oscar Meyer.

Ooooh, CeeCeeGirl!…That was a most excellent description regarding Sonny’s willy-nilly—yet albeit prolific—-sperm-casting activities across Port Charles, the continental USA and general globe-at-large! Couldn’t imagine a better way of calling a spade a spade! Kudos, mia amica! As for the actual man who sired junior gent, “Oscar Nero”–or whatever his real birthname happens to be?-It would seem the truth of that matter shall will out very soon. Whilst I would love a jaw-dropping denouement to that particularly perplexing puzzle, I guess we shall simply have to breathe a sigh of relief and thank our lucky stars if Sonny is not revealed… Read more »

Always welcome, CeeCee! Yes, the Oscar and Joss sweet-teen romance is a lovely little departure from all of the dark muck and mire of the current GH. (And the never-ending random assignations that have no real heart and soul whatsoever…) These sort of couplings used to be a soap staple and I miss them, along with the formerly-plentiful array of gorgeous, young romantic heartthrobs which once populated daytime! Not much to write home about these days! Having said that, I certainly hope that the forthcoming revelations regarding Oscar’s bio-daddy don’t split up this adorable junior twosome!

Thanks, Shaybelle. Likewise.
Yeah…let’s hope he is no relation to Sonny.
Oscar may have simply been introduced as a little teen-love for Joss. So cute!! Brings back memories, does it not, Shay?

I eat your words up, Shay, LOL. You always make sense to me—never bruising that sense or sendibility. I consider Joss as a beatiful budding rose, and albeit I find this young, blooming love refreshing, Oscar is not the cutest boy in 9th grade. Yeah, I know …sono io–shallow and superficial. Regardless of their looks, I guess it won’t be long before these kids are both sorased. Too bad…I really reject the idea of aging Joss. I really like her. Oscar? Not so much. Not doing it for me. I’d like to see a good kid, yes….but one who can… Read more »

You are right, of course, Shay…..”Much Ado About Nothing”. Oscar, more likely than not, is who he says he is, without heavy, innocuous baggage.
Just one thing; Sonny does not procreate….he propagates. Here, there snd everywhere.
A cornucopia, not of flowers, but of every specie of weeds.

God help us, CeeCee, but I believe that you are most likely correct that Sonny’s procreation streak has not yet reached completion. Still, I’m hoping Oscar won’t turn out to be one of his unfortunate, intellect-challenged offspring….it’s become such a cliche’ to be an illegitimate “Corinthos Kid” in Port Charles!

I think Steve meant to say “progeny,” not “prodigy.” Because like Celia said, none of the Corinthos next generation seems to be packing too many brain cells!

Oh, CeeCee…When it comes to unraveling the puzzle of young Oscar’s parentage, how I wish the writers were purposely being too clever by half in tossing out all these tantalizingly brilliant, hidden little clues (and even some red herrings) like breadcrumbs for us to gather, savor and ultimately, analyze (ala Agatha Christie…) However, I suspect we are just prone to seriously overthinking things and searching for underlying meanings where none actually exists, as has happened so many times before with GH storylines that often ended either nowhere or in a highly unsatisfying manner. Most likely, the key to Oscar’s biological… Read more »

LOL, Shay….my middle name is ‘looking for problems that aren’t there”. PC and its environs must be chock-full with dimpled, swarthy “products” of that extraordinary paradigm, Suave, Saint Sonny. Mayhap, the world!!
He’s “like thunder….lightening….can’t lose a good thing…, knock on wood”. Ha.
Considering Sonny has sewn his seed internationally, would it be that much of a stretch to assume Oscar Black is his?
Footnote: Shaybelle….I think his name is really ‘Black’ and is using ( prodded by whomever his mother is ) the Italian translation as an alias. And, yes, the name may be directly linked to that crazy Claudian dynasty. HaHa.

I do believe you are right about that one, CeeCeeGirl! Might as well re-dub the town “Port Corinthos” in dubious honor of Sonny and his plentiful supply of progeny! Whilst this “Priapic Don’s” prodigious tendency to procreate would also make Oscar a prime candidate to join his “unlucky sperm club,” I am hoping that for the sake of that poor lad such is not the case…better his paterfamilia really is a Nero …or at least, a basic Black! I say anybody besides Slick Sonny would provide a more palatable choice of lineage for young Oscar….even one improbably linked to an… Read more »

I was struggling with myself trying to discern this child’s ethnicity.
I must agree with you. His face does have Asian characteristics and the Wu family tie makes the most sense.

And yet, Francesca, Oscar has an Italian surname which could possibly indicate a European background…perhaps even a royal one? (Not another Cassadine?) I have been wondering if the choice of “Nero” holds some sort of significant clue as to this character’s true identity? It’s probably just a false moniker intended to conceal his real parentage, but it does beg the question of whom is his “Aggripina the Younger?” Hmmm….the plot thickens! (As for this young actor’s physical appearance, Garren actually rather reminds me of the decidedly non-Asian Joseph Gordon-Levitt when he played Tommy Solomon on “Third Rock from the Sun!”… Read more »

Yeah, he could be related to Brad and then we MIGHT get to see him and Lucas? I think its Bensch’s kid. BUT, for Joss to like Oscar, Oscar has to be relted to a mob connection.

Hi #Shay. The ladies in my circle of friends who watch GH believe that Oscar’s Agrippina is Brenda. But I do not recall Brenda as being ruthless. She could have married someone by the surname Nero, who adopted Oscar, but later left. It could also be a lie making Oscar not so innocent. Is he looking for revenge? Some of my friends insist it will be Dante receiving the shock of his life. Why the name Nero. It means black and it could be a symbol of evil. A family trait? Going back to Ancient Rome is brilliant. Nero was… Read more »

Hmmmm….could that possibly mean “Cesare”=”Cesar?” (As in Faison????)The plot thickens….

I don’t know if Francesca is using the name in the literary device sense of play-on-words…….that’s a very clever technique….I love it, especially if it is meant in reference to Faison. However, Giulio Cesare = Julius Caesar ( Anglicized, LOL). So, it could have been an accidental truth?? I wonder if the writers are keen enough to bring Roman symbolism into the equation. Claudius and Agrippina were, indeed, Nero’s parents, and Nero fits the countenance of being Faison’s issue. Great theory that, but is Oscar his real name? I hope he is the product of one of Sonny’s enemies…..except, I’d… Read more »

Miss Fanny!!!! There you are….ma chere amie! Bien sur, vous m’ avez manque’.
And, a good thought it is, Fanny. Yet, son or grandson, he would still have Sonny’s tainted blood.
Such a nice kid…he should be left ‘pure’.
A bientot, j’espere?

Oh, CeeCeeGirl!!!!…Sonny’s “tainted blood?” LOL! The depth of your derision for this polarizing character is an endless font of hilarity….my compliments! I realize you cannot help yourself from so colorfully composing such comedic commentary…it comes as naturally as breathing! (Much like my expressions of boundless disdain for Alexis! Hey, we all have our bête noirs!)

@CeeCee….Glad you liked the “slampuppy” reference.. I glommed onto that lovely little term via a college friend from the Midwest….thought it was a warm and fuzzy way to describe someone who’s known for something not-so-cute and charming! Don’t you just love regional-speak? By the way, I think my all-time favorite word for a female of “loose morals” came from some childhood pals who hailed from Hingham, Mass…I won’t spell it out, but it’s probably not unfamiliar to you and yours given your own geographical specifics….Hint: Nine letters….Begins with a “p” and ends with an “e”…..and is an integral part of… Read more »

Hey, CeeCeeGirl….I gather your “risqué reply” that failed to pass the moderator’s muster was in reference to the above “slampuppy” post? Well, yes, I can certainly understand why….which is the reason I was so discreet when I initially described said Massachusetts lingo for a particular sort of gal. But can you at least tell me this: Did you get my drift and is that still a popularly-used term in “Kennedy Country?” Inquiring minds want to know!

I stopped watching years before Brenda was on but did tune in on occasion…i did not see the episodes but i did read somewhere i think in soap digest that they did have an affair!!!

@Shay.
Well, Shay…it’s like this…..I did get your drift. But, the word? I had to ask my husband. I made the mistake of elaborating. Ergo, the ‘deadbolt’ on my comment. LOL.

Well, CeeCeeGirl, I figured that even if you were not aware of that old chestnut of a term, your hubby had probably encountered it somewhere during the course of his life in the great state of Massachusetts….like a locker room, perhaps??? LOL. Keep in mind, it is certainly not in my usual arsenal of vocabulary words deployed to describe those femmes who are most prone to assuming the supine position! However, it is one deeply engrained in my memory due to the heady mix of great nostalgia for long ago summers and the immense shock that I still recall from… Read more »

@Shay.
Maura West is a Bostonian, as well….or from the immediate area. Once in a while I catch a very distinct Bostonian intonation…fleetingly, but there.
Massachusetts is known to have a language of its own—your word is not used as often; only one from Massachusetts would know….just as my husband and I are still dubbed “barneys” in Boston slang.

But Valentine is dr. Klein another extension from Elena cassadine. He’s taking over where she left off.

PS: @ the “ask Man Landers ” reveal partay or whatever it was

what a disappointment Jennifer Bassey “MUST” feel about daytime

those hallowed halls nevertheless… speak volume

” WHO was the HOTTEST ” – Felicia ! YIKES .. my lady is stunning us all

Yes, I like the idea of Alexis dating someone normal. I wonder if she’ll expect the good doctor ( that’s questionable….who is he, really!?) to prance around in his speedos underwear. Won’t compare to Julian’s backside, sigh!
But, there are breathable elephant shaped speedies available. Hmmmm.

Lol….what a picturesque scene you paint, Shay. Shawn? I don’t know who he is. I know Jerry, but had no idea he was one of her ‘boys’. And, Ric, of course, is Molly’s father, yes? I also know she had a thing going with Ned? ….or, was what I saw that fateful night when Julian and Olivia made Leo, a one-night stand? You really think Alexis is destined to sit in a fetid state of felonious limbo forever, when it comes to choosing a man? The good doc gives me the creeps. I may be wrong, but I smell a… Read more »

Bensch is ONE of the only newer characters I am clinging to. I’m sure he will have skeletons BUT for now, I bet he is the one who called the dean and reported Parker. Alexis was happy they got caught and when she finds out Bensch was the caller, she will whip out one of her dresses from the eighties!

Odd, eh, Shay? I don’t see my post. ….glad you got it, though.
So, you agree about Dr. Bensch? As I said a few times, already; he rubs me the wrong way. That’s why I remarked Kiki should watch her back.
He is way over-his-head where Kiki is concerned….too solicitous. He’s a ‘big’ doctor with a ‘big’ name…and, she’s basically an underling.
Unless, ohhh, unless, he’s Silas Clay in disguise?? Maybe he is a vampire, related to Caleb, taking different human forms?
This would explain his fatherly protection. Do vampires love their kin?
I am glad you dispelled my concern for Timmm. LOL.

Hey there, CeeCee!…..Per your remarks which indeed reached my inbox? (Yay!)–LOL!!!–and I do so hope our dear Timmmy was not traumatized by my cheeky comments about my favorite “whipping post!’ (No pun intended!)….I think he knows us well-enough to realize we are just two (and too…) fun-loving girls who share the same sort of wicked wit and no offense to his personal character would ever be intended….his gallantry is already safely established and well-documented here! At any rate, I’m not so sure the same will be able to be said about Dr. Bensch when all is said and done….there is… Read more »

Yes, CeeCee….There is something about Dr. Bensch that gives me the heebie-jeebies…oh, it’s subtle, but it’s there, all right…..a rather crafty and cunning vibe lurking just below the surface masquerading in a supposedly benign, affable and well-meaning facade! Nope, I simply don’t trust him, either! The question is this MD’s motivation….is he merely a common, garden-variety letch or does he have a far more specific agenda beyond liking the girls young and pretty, as we both apparently suspect? Hard to say at this juncture, yet he most likely has some sinister connection to a previous Port Charles baddie! (But which… Read more »

@Shay.
Yup, Shay….Dr. Bensch ( great display of play-on-words, there….”bensch”-mark…..you do have a way with words, Shaybelle.
Needless to say, we may be seeing something that isn’t there, as with Oscar.
However, my instinct are pretty sharp; and, unless the writers have yet to “assign” the doc to one specific role ( in their heads), which would not surprise me one bit, those instincts are screaming to scrutinize every aspect of this possible, semi-Dr. Frankenstein.
A Cassadine, say you? Hmmmmm…..haven’t they also sown very fertile seeds globally?

Just to clarify, CeeCee, I don’t necessarily think that Dr. Bensch is related by blood to the Cassadine clan….but given his professional background, I’m thinking he could definitely be a past associate…perhaps he was part of Victor’s creepy Crichton-Clark house of bio-medical horrors, or dealt with Helena in reference to her many mad scientific experiments of yore! It would have been a great notion to have him attached to Liesl and her demented Swiss clinic, but since she’s pretty much persona non-grata in Port Charles these days, I doubt her influence will have much of a role in any upcoming… Read more »

Well, well, Francesca, it seems that your ladies’ circle may have been on to something when they (and you) posited the character of Brenda as being Oscar’s mother…there are internet rumblings that Vanessa M.is about to make a return appearance in Port Charles, which is suspiciously convenient given this particular storyline. The rumors also suggest that little “Nero” may not have the exotic pedigree many of us dreamed up for him on this thread, but something much “closer to home,” although I sort of hope not. That would definitely “color me disappointed” after all the exciting speculation which has ensued… Read more »

Lol! I meant in real life!!! I still have elementary teachers who remember me from when Inwas like 8…and I am in my 30’s! If Sonny was stepfather to the kid at one point, he should remember him.

I certainly like your premise, Andrew. Any enemy of Sonny is a friend of mine.

Now that you mention it, he actually does. I hope that’s not the direction they’re going…. they will bring in Joseph Gordon Levitt in his “Third Rock From the Sun” character and make them cousins of Casey the Alien.
..

I thought about that, Shaybelle….Valentin or Sonny as the father is too easy. Then again, some of this writing isvso simplistic…no originality, no foresight.
Why is Tuck in the picture? Something’s a’brewing….and it “ain’t” good news for Valentin.
As I said, anyone is the possible father.

‘Tis true, CeeCeeGirl….Maybe even Fluke???? (Or Luke….both guys certainly sowed enough wild oats through the years to make it plausible and feasible….but fingers crossed such will not be the case!) As for Tuck, her reason for being “in the picture” could be as simple as her former status as a OLTL-er, but I should hope that this time there will be some sort of method to Frank’s madness of relocating ever more Llanviewers to Port Charles….it’s getting a bit crowded with so many ex-ABC soap interlopers crashing GH!

Ooops!…I stand corrected…make that twice! (Both Olivia and of course, Alexis “Backseat Baby” Davis!)

HaHahaHa…..’slampuppy’? How novel !! I love it !!
But, but, but, Shay…Everyone in PC is inbred. Reminds me of Martha’s Vineyard. The natives are all related to each other, and still mating and breeding.

Shay I know you are not a fan of Julian but William DeVry is a good looking man and a big dog lover so the actor can’t be all bad! Won’t be posting much going thru some trauma with my sis and I am not handling it well she is the one with dementia and it has gotten worse hopefully some day find a cure you and Cee and Timm etc keep up the good fight !!!

@k/kay….My less than favorable opinion of Julian has always come down to his endlessly OTT sexual escapades with Alexis, and not from the actor’s particular portrayal of the character. I know I would find him quite palatable were he paired with a different partner who creates a more compatible coupling….maybe Cassandra? Mr. DeVry and Jessica Tuck would certainly make for an appealing and attractive romantic duo, don’t you think? By the way, I left a more personal message for you on a direct link found at another thread….I hope it reaches your inbox!

Just spreading his seed far and wide….please pray poor Oscar is not yet more living proof of his prodigious propensity for propagating progeny!

@Shay.
Well, Shay, “his propensity for propagating progeny” will be his downfall…I hope.
The family jewels must be dented and shriveled up by now. “Them gems don’t shine no mo”.
I think “The Sonny Sex Saga” is soooo puke-worthy and ridiculous. Look at him. Why do women find him sexy and attractive? It’s all in the writers’ minds.
I don’t find Jax hot, or good-looking, but he has presence….he has a very attractive aura….so, I could have believed it with a character such as he. But, Sonny??

Perhaps, but when, CeeCee, WHEN? We’ve been waiting…and waiting…and waiting for that moment to arrive, only to be disappointed time and time again! Seems no matter what transpires, “The Sonny Always Rises” to the occasion with yet another gullible femme and before you know it, out pops the next non-prodigious progeny to join that not-so-exclusive club of “Corinthos Kids!” Happens like clockwork….you could almost set your watch to Sonny’s reproductive results….which begs the question, shouldn’t a great with child Martina be crashing back to Port Charles about….NOW?

Lol, Satan. Chad and Oscar do look alike. Remember, anything is possible in soapland.
Look at Lily ( Y&R)… suddenly, she’s mother to 15-year old twins. She’s my age….thirty.
So……
I love the idea of having a fifteen year old daughter…..like sisters. Fun. LOL.

It reminds one of a party game, CeeCeeGirl! There are so many clever possibilities as to whom this kiddo could belong, however, I strongly suspect that the actual answer to the question will probably prove far less scintillating than all of the creative out-of-the-box guesses that have been posited on this page. Let’s just hope the big reveal leads to a good story. You know, like the one when we found out the true identity of Nathan’s bio-daddy…Ooops….we’re still waiting for that major mystery to be solved!

Hi, Shay,
I did answer you, mon amie….but, my answer must have bruised the moderators’ sense and sensibility. Too risque’? Avant garde?
I will leave it alone and rely on their discretion….I appreciate that. It is their job to sift through our comments.

@Patrick….Even grown men shrink from the ordeal of experiencing Carly’s relentlessly exhausting nature…I think poor little Oscar actually held up quite well under the circumstances! Lol….

The coolest thing about Oscar is you can look at him and imagine him bearing a resemblance to any number of prospective babydaddies in the past and present Port Charles sphere….At this point, the kiddo is a blank slate, and there are so many possibilities where you could conceivably go, yeah, I can see (__________________) as his father! Which makes one wonder if the actual man in question will end up having any striking similarities to Oscar or will we all just feel the typical GH letdown when the cat is finally out of the bag? I certainly hope not!

Patrick… Too many other things that we have come to expect are disappearing way to quickly. The tv landscape is rapidly changing, as well as other industries, their budgets and jobs. And it is totally out of our control except to stay plugged in where we can. So I try to be loyal to GH because it still does have it’s moments, and it has become my go-to hour in the afternoon. Better even a diluted version than none at all.
