Hi guys...I think I read somewhere that Dusty is a Stenbeck and maybe James' true heir? Is this correct? I could be wrong, which wouldn't be surprising. :-)

Who are Dusty's parents? With the return of Dani, my mom sis and I are starting to look back on some ATWT history.

Dusty Donavan is the true Stenbeck and the Stenbeck's are also Swedish Royalty and heirs to the throne. James is technically not a Stenbeck, his mother Greta Aldren switched him at birth with the real Stenbeck (who turned out to be Gunnar Sinclair) Gunnar came to town in search of his son he had with another woman, the boy was raised by Burke Donavan. John Dixon was his doctor and upon his death he raised Dusty as a son. Greta and Ariel Aldren came to town and James was attracted to Ariel, Greta revealed she was his mother and Ariel was acutally his sister. Gunnar in the midst found out he was the true Stenbeck and Dusty was his son. James tried to kill them unsuccessfully so the secret would never be found out. That is all from memory but I think thats the gist of it anyway. I never understood why they never pursued Dusty tracing his Stenbeck roots.

Also on Dani, she is the daughter of Betsy and Steve Andropolous. Im not sure where Betsy is now, but last time we heard from Steve he was in prison in Greece for running drugs for the Falcon drug ring which was ran by James Stenbeck unknowingly by Steve.

I had forgot that John Dixon did raise Dusty!!! Where was John when Dusty was supposed to have been murdered? Was any mention made of this?

I also have never understood why the story of Dusty being the true Stenbeck heir has never been pursued. It would be a great storyline. The strange thing is that everyone knows the truth and it has just been ignored. As for John Dixon being notified of Dusty's death, how can someone that has disappeared into thin air the way John has be contacted? (a little sarcasm - sorry)

I am very hazy on the details, but it wouldn't be that Dusty was James' true heir. Rather, it was that James was NOT the true Stenbeck heir, Dusty's birth father was.
