"Wheatables" has a secret on "As The World Turns" ... care to speculate?

Actually, the funny thing about Steven's surgery on Dynasty was that the effects eventually wore off.  In The Reunion mini-series he reverted to the appearance he had in the first two seasons.  And nobody noticed.

My vote is that Darth Wheatables is Count Mayer with some modifications.  Maybe as it was with Steven, he will magically revert to his original form.

I don't think he's gay.  Too obvious.  And there's not much story potential beyond the reveal.

He's definately not Luke's father.  Luke's paternity was established long ago.

I would love it if he had a gay son.  That way we could have an unaccepting father of the non-psycho variety.  The show could do a story of a parent struggling with and accepting their kid being gay and they could do a triangle between Luke, Noah and the new guy.  That option has the most story potential.

Ex-gay?  That would go against the show's stance that you're gay and that can't be changed.  So no.

He'll probably be Col. Mayer with a new face.  That's the show's style.

When he first came to Oakdale, he was acting very strangely and I thought he was closeted. But, now with Kevin back in the picture, I know it has something to do with that. This is ATWT, people. They are known for their ability to intertwine multiple characters with a single storyline, whether or not they're successful is a debate for another day. But, I know Kevin is somehow involved. Then again, Noah likes Brian for some reason, maybe it's the connection between a parent and a child. But, I think if they were gonna go that way, they would have given the audience clues leading us on, like, "Why is Brian lurking in the bush watching Noah at Java?" I also think if that were the case, they would have Dusty way more involved because he was so much the first time around. But, let's face the facts, he already has his hands in too many things. My prediction is a Kevin connection.

My take is that Brian had a son (possibly a male lover) who was bashed and killed. I think it explains why he isn't really homophobic but terrified of Luke being too "public." Luke and Noah haven't been bashed in a year and I think the writers tend to fall back on easy "gay" stories. Maybe Kevin will assault Luke again, and Brian will be all "I told you so." Bleah.

Brian supposedly has a long rep in the fund-raising business and was sought out by head-hunters. I know the writers can do anything they want, but having Brian revealed to be Colonel Perv in disguise seems patently impossible. 

and Kevin is his "secret" boytoy.

...be "All of the above!"

Actually, my Worst Nightmare explanation is that he's Noah's biological father from a affair he had with some long-lost sibling of Lily's(who gave him up for adoption), which would mean Luke and Noah are related and Can Never Have Sex.

But I'm pretty sure the real secret is equally absurd.

David E. and Joseph, those ideas are both too good to be true!

Please, please, please let it not be the case that Brian is Winston reincarnated.

Is it too much to ask for Brian to be a well adjusted gay man who, in his own words, was just recently out of a relationship and is likely starting anew in Oakdale?  I see Brian as not seeing Lucinda as a romantic partner but as a role model.  Lucinda is Brian's business diva, if you will, and someone for him to emulate.  This could be the chance for ATWT to go where it couldn't with the Hank Elliott character in the late 1980's/early 1990's.

I'd even buy that he has a gay son.  But enough of these resurrections.  Dusty just came back from the dead, for Pete's sake. 

Personally, I think it would a hoot (and hot) for Brian to come in between Nuke and be the sex daddy Nuke need Brian to be :-)

The spoilers are all over the place.  Brian plants a wet one on Luke next week.
