Should Jack Ask For a DNA Test?

[Angeldar]

I've been wondering about that. He is taking Allie's word for it that she is Keemo's daughter. Is she really? Maybe she was married to Keemo and has some other sinister plan for Jack? Maybe she is just someone who did harm to Keemo? I think if/when she shows up and if she wants a relationship, I would get the test done to make sure.

[KTitus]

Absolutely. I bet Phyllis takes one off a glass.

Maybe not right away, but please have Jack get a DNA confirmation before he puts Allie in the Abbott Family Will. Good grief, he will probably just hand her a job, she can live in the mansion with him, he'll write her into the will, all with no questions asked.

Sappy Jack better check her out thoroughly. Or yes, Phyllis may have his back and run the test herself.

Ha! Ha! So far the girl doesnt want anything to do with Jack. Let him make some headway in their relationship before you have him questioning her paternity.

[Rubythroat1]

No. Ally returned to the house before Jack left and offered to connect with him in future.
She was reaching out.

[Mr.Sami_Brady]

Yes, he should. Clearly, Jack hasn't learned ANYTHING about rushing to force strangers into the family (Re: Theo). You think he would've considered that since JG also wrote that long-lost relative storyline too.

Besides, Jack getting a DNA test makes too much sense, so you know JG is NOT going to do that.

Wow! What an EXCELLENT way to break the ice, w/the granddaughter you're trying to engage! Jack goes "searching" for answers about his dead estranged son, finds his granddaughter, and continues to act as if SHE has something to prove to HIM!! The operative phrase is that "...Jack.goes.searching...," NOT the other way around. As I've said before, Keemo dodged a bullet by cutting his knucklehead paternal "family" OUTTA his life...

[WorldTurner]

It anything. Allie is the one who should be asking for a DNA test to prove their relationship. She's not claiming she is an Abbott.

If it's ham-handed Soap behavior, JG is at the head of the line whacking away with a cartoon-sized mallet.

What a hack.

Exactly. Jack and Phyllis pursued the texts to Keemo's house, eventually contacting Ally.

Ally didn't know Jack Abbott or his relationship to her until it was explained, And then she was shocked, denied Jack's version until she read Keemo's letters. She was smart to back away from Jack until she had time to sort out what she thought she knew about her father left an unknown.

Ally requesting a DNA test would eliminate many untoward questions from a variety of people questioning her intent and paternity.

[Shoelover]

I think what Jack needs to ask for is a better story line.

[zenmaster5]

I think that's a great idea and should be done immediately before Jack and the Abbott's get so invested in Allie, welcoming her into the fold just to find out she isn't related to them at all which does happen from time to time. The Abbott's are wealthy and need to protect themselves.

[presbyterian]

Maybe he " should but given "Allys's emotional state she would turn tail and go back to LA. She just found out her dad did not tell the truth and now her new grandfather is questioning her

[Soapfan54]

THANK YOU!!! WHAT you said!!! And if anyone DOES ask, she should tell them to go kick rocks...

[DallasGal]

I think both parties should ask for a DNA test just to put to rest any questions.

[GuidingLite]

He sure should! Considering the accuracy rate that Genoa City DNA tests have.....
