On 8-1-13, Ava Jerome came into Derek's office and called him Julian. I am thinking Ava and Derek/Julian are siblings and offspring of Julian Jerome (from the 1980s-90s).

Derek seems too young to be Sam's father or the 1980s version of Julian Jerome (but William Devry, actor, could be playing a character who is 10-15 older than the actor is) and just had plastic surgery. Olivia Falconeri and Dante are only 9 years difference between their actors. My current idea is that DeVry's Derek/Julian is Julian Jr. and Maura West's Ava is Julian Sr's daughter and JJ's sister. This would solve the assumed hatred that Olivia Jerome and 1980s Julian "Sr." would have due to Julian "killing"/or at least trying to kill Olivia Jerome.

Having Pete Reckell (ex-Bo Brady on DAYS) as Sam's father and perhaps a cousin of Julian, Olivia, Evan Sr. (and possibly Dino). Then Sam and Ava & Julian/Derek would be cousins.
