WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME

Just a fun As The World Turns note from a name geek.

On the show, Jennifer named her baby Johnny after the baby her own mother lost over a decade ago. That baby was named after his father, Dr. John Dixon.

Dr. John Dixon was also the legal guardian who raised Dusty Donovan after his adoptive dad, Burke, died.

Now, Dusty is marrying Jen and adopting little Johnny. So even though it didn't turn out that way, the baby is going to end up being named after his adoptive grandfather. It's kind of cute.

Or incestuous. Which on soaps is often the same thing.
