Additional Comments: Okay, I also just read that he will be playing a character named Jonas Chamberlain and that he will have a connection to Tina and supposed to be a bonus treat to longtime viewers. I'm wondering if he could be CJ? I know he is probably too old for that character, but the initials to his name are the reverse of CJ. Plus, the main populace hasn't seen CJ in, what, 10-15 years? How do they know what he looks like now? Remember, they didn't remember that Flash was actually Sarah. Maybe they are doing the same thing with CJ. If it is not CJ, then I wonder if he could be a recast for Cain Rogan. I always loved his character. But, again, most people would recoginze Cain. Beyond that, I'm not sure who he could be. Any suggestions from you longtime viewers? Who else did Tina hang out with that could be a bonus treat?

No way, no how, on earth, or in Llanview - unless the show wants to blatantly insult the intelligence of viewers (or insult the beauty of Andrea Evans) is Kevin Spirtas going to play the role of Tina's son - who, btw, would be the near-exact same age as Al Holden in the timeline.
BUT I do agree that Spirtas could be playing a recast Cain Rogan, as I mentioned here previously. Cain was referenced by Sarah during her previous stay (as ''Flash'') in Llanview a few years ago. She claimed the reason she fled from Tina is that Tina reunited with Cain, and that she couldn't get along with him.
When Cain first came to Llanview in the early-90's, played by Christopher Cousins, he was presented as a charming con-artist / master-of-disguise - often depicting himself as alternate personas. This type of role, theoretically, sounds like a great fit for Kevin Spirtas. Heck, maybe ''Jonas Chamberlain'' is just yet another alter-ego of Cain Rogan.
