I'm not exactly sure about Sam's dad anymore. I don't think Derek Wells's real name is actually Derek Wells. I think his real name is Evan Jerome, Jr. Not only does he film with Connie, but he also films with Ava. He has to be a Jerome. Evan Jr is Victor Jerome's grandson (son of Evan, Sr and Veronica). Though he never appeared onscreen, Evan was presumed dead in 1990. I think Derek may end up being Evan, Jr who actually faked his death to go into witness protection.

However, I'm also hearing a lot about Peter Reckell being Sam's dad.
