That would give Melanie a real brother, plus last time he was in town he had a fling with her mother-in-law. It’s wierd that Carly has never talked about her family on camera with Melanie.
they often forget, don’t know, or revise history – that’s why I’m on their case all the time. What kid growing up without a family unit wouldn’t ask her mother? And it would take two minutes of air time to cover it if the writer’s would take the time…goodness knows they have Sami repeat her lines of "it’s for my children" ad nauseam.
bracket Nicky would be in? Let’s face it by now he should be in his late 30s to 40s since he was 30 or so the last time he was on the show sleeping with Kate. But, Carly doesn’t look old enough to have a kid that is 40 so how do you deal with that one? De-age Nicky and forget he slept with Kate? Or, just ignore the guy altogether and pretend he and mommy don’t get along?
I find it very strange that Mel doesn’t mention wanting to meet her brother "Nick". I mean wouldn’t you?? Hmm writers….let’s get a conversation going about this!
I’m always hoping that TPTB read these post, occasionally!
I think it would add a lot to the story to bring him back – see how he interacts with Carly and Vivian. Who would he side with since his father’s death? Is he a good guy or the opposite of Max? Lots of possiblilities!
