We know that:
She's never told another living soul about it.
It involves Todd/Podd.
She thought Blair could do something with it if she died.
Ross and this Ethan guy know what it is.
What else?

Ethan is the lawyer right? | #1 | ||

If Ross is involved, it has to do with SISP forward as I don't think bringing him back to uncover some deep dark secret from earlier TnT... they could use
Carlotta, or a Vega for that unveiling.
We know both Blair and Todd have tossed in Tea's face that she doesn't understand Starr situation b/c she's not a mother. Blair's digs about motherhood have me thinking gotta be a kid. We know TnT made love during SISP. Ethan is a lawyer right? Did Ethan handle the adoption? Or is he some guy from Tea's past??? |

I wonder if Tea has a kid and doesn't know it's Todd's....
Like perhaps after Todd left the island she slept with Ross on the rebound. Had the baby, Ross knows it's Todd's but Tea truly believes it's Ross' and he did something shady to make her convinced of that. |

I think Tea siding with Blair on custody is RED FLAG | #3 | ||

that Tea's whole outlook changed when it comes to Todd and custody of his kids. She used to defend him as a father but no more and she's repeatedly
stated he views kids as his own private property and his kids constantly caught in power struggle with Blair... I could see Tea wanting to protect her child
from this Todd who frankly is a lousy father. Could be Tea keeps coming back hoping Todd has changed or grown enough that convinces her to confess to him?

Exactly what I was thinking, Kelly. Someone mentioned the Nick/Phyllis storyline on Y&R where only Nick saw the DNA paternity results and he told Phyllis
the child was his. People still speculate whether the child is actually his and anyone who is familiar with Y&R knows this could come out 10 years from
now. That is how they operate.
The same type of situation could apply to Tea. Ross could have been crazy obsessive with Tea. Maybe he thought he was doing her a favor and told her he was the father. Perhaps, he pulled a Todd and sent Tea's child away and told her the child was dead. Maybe, Tea's dark secret is that she had Todd's child, she thinks the child died shortly after childbirth because she didn't have access to proper prenatal care due to being on the island and she knows Todd would blame himself for that. The only thing that is strange is that she tells Blair, "Maybe you can do something with this." That doesn't seem to apply to a child. That seems to apply to a secret about Todd (are we 100% certain his mother is dead?) or a secret about Tea and Blair, like them being sisters. |

Yes, Pilar. Remember how outraged she was when she saw the headliner on The Sun that referenced Todd's kids? That also goes along with what you are saying.

That's what's getting me too. It has never sounded like like this was about a kid but more like she knows something important about Todd. |

In the boiler room, I too got the sense it was a secret about Todd that Tea had never told but lately Blair's digs about motherhood have been so obvious
and well OLTL is nothing if not obvious these days in its PLOTS... just think of the Gigi/Rex/Stacy mess, you just knew Rex & Stacy would sleep together
BEFORE Gigi spilled the beans and that Rex would keep that to himself... and you know next up is the SPD of Stacy preggers which she will likely miscarry then
lie about it to keep the never-ending mess going.
There's not a hint of mystery or subtley at all in the writing... Now if I hear that Ross role is longer-term versus then I could see some big Machiavalian plot but even then IF Tea gave up a child, I think has to be a BIGGER motivation than just she thought it was Ross' kid... no it goes back to the CUSTODY FIGHTS which Tea has been smack in the middle of it since she came to Llanview. |

Outraged, and downright disgusted by T&B custody battles doing great harm to those kids. She's been VERY vocal yep, be nice if we get some real
insights into HOW Tea changed over the last 6 years while gone with this secret...
But OLTL most days is written as shallow as a puddle, so not holding out major hope, heck Wednesday looked so good b/c writing was so much better than every day drivel lol |

There have always been digs on Tea about motherhood especially from Blair. I'm probably missing the boat here again, but it just doesn't sound like it's about a kid, no matter who the father is. The "maybe you can do something with it" line and Tea helping Blair get custody is keeping me from thinking it's about a kid even though it's most likely what it is. |

Tea got pregnant on the island. She also slept with Ross after Todd left so she wasn't completely sure who the daddy was. To be safe she says it was
Ross' and the two of them have been raising 'their' daughter, or Tea left her with Ross when she came to Llanview. The Ethan guy could have been
the lawyer that handled....divorce? or custody deal?....
Since TnT daughter would be around the same age as Jack, once the secret is revealed they need to soras Jack and TnT daughter to about 15. The same thing they did with Micheal and Christina on GH. Of course Tea's daughter is the feisty wild child and getting in to trouble with Jack following along. Tea and Blair on equal footing and lots more story to tell. JMO but I think they need to de-Manning Sam. He should have been Spencer's anyway. |
