Additional Comments:

Deacon was on B&B years ago,  as a matter of fact,  I started watching B&B way back when Amber had stolen her cousins baby and was raising it as her own.  That was a very good sl and when Becky got the baby back it was revealed that Deacon was the father of the child.  But that was so many years ago,  now in rl the picture of the son would make him the right age,  but in soap years he should be in High School by now.  Maybe they are doing that so we will forget how old Amber is suppose to be,  because she should be much older than Daniel.

Because he hasn't been SORASED.   When some kids are SORASED, not all of them are.   Take Leah on  GL for example.   She went from being a baby to being 14, and her older brother (when she was a baby) turned into her YOUNGER brother!  That SORASING can really mature some people QUICKLY!!!!

The Alphabet kid should be no less then college age. Steffy and her twin Phoebe were babies and ABC kid was a little older. On the B&B Steffy is currently 19 or 20.If he's only 10 it's to keep Amber younger then she is, according to B&B sl.

I was just reading last night the Oct. 28 issue of Soap Opera Digest
There was an article about Amber and Rick Forrester.
In 1998 she was supposed to be 18. That would make her 29 now.
She was a nanny to Rick who was 16 at the time.
Amber bedded Rick and got pregnant.
In 1999 Rick's parents consented to let Rick marry Amber.
Amber gave birth to a still born son while I believe she was at her mom's trailer in Death Valley.
Her cousin Becky at the same time had given birth to a son.
Amber substituted her dead baby with Becky's baby.
Becky found out about the baby switch and demanded her son back.
Amber had to tell the truth to Rick.
Rick got an annulment from Amber.
They remained in love and re-married in 2001. They split up again two years later.

That baby of Becky's was also Deacon's.That means the child should be about 10 years old. I guess the writers kept this child his true age.

I think this son is a different child than that one from the B&B storyline...he has never talked about the son before with anyone except Ryder and whoever it was on the phone that he told to hide his son.  If it had been the boy that Amber had claimed as hers, you'd think he would have mentioned him to her.  Also, you are right that he would be old enough to be on his own by now, so why all the need to hide him...he'd be able to take care of himself, unless he was a little boy.  The next obvious question is, who is the kid's mother?  If we care, that is, which I don't...I can't stand the character of Deacon and wish he was gone.

  • When he first came he showed Amber a picture of Eric. She went into tears. I remember that. Gidge.
  • It's the same kid. His legal name is Eric Forrester, III but Deacon always called him ''Little D'' and he's referred to him as such on Y&R. The kid would be around 10 years old if he's not SORASed or de-SORASed. ~i&b
  • To answer your other question, Sizzle, Little Alphabet Kid's mother was Becky Moore, Scamber's cousin. Becky wanted to give the baby up for adoption. Scamber stole it before it ever left the house (home birth) and passed it off as hers (her own baby was stillborn) in order to keep her hooks into Rick Forrester. A year or so later, the truth came out despite Scamber's efforts to keep the truth from Becky. By then, Becky had grown up a bit and wanted to raise her baby. Scamber was forced to give the baby back to Becky, but shortly afterward Becky discovered she had cancer and died. So the kid reverted back to Scamber again until a judge took him away after Scamber endangered his life and dangled him from a cliff's edge in order to keep the cops at bay. Little Alphabet kid was returned to Deacon who had married Macy Alexander. Macy died suddenly and Deacon turned to the bottle. When he left for rehab, Deacon turned the kid over to Becky's parents to raise. That was the last anyone heard of Little Alphabet Kid before his picture surfaced on Y&R. ~i&b
  • Wow, she's as bad as Adam, but without the brain
  • And that doesn't count the double kidnapping and attempted murder of Ridge and Bridget Forrester. ~i&b
