That kid (I guess I should say those kids) is adorable...and what a good job of acting....I like it that we get to see alot of him...and just in case you didn't know (not that any of you necessarily care, but....)I'm not a fan of children on soaps...I'm of the opinion that the less we have scenes muddled up with kids in them the better we are...I don't usually think they are particularly cute and they just seem to be in the way and interrupting the flow of the actors......like Sydney, or Alie....even with the older ones like Theo and Ciara, their scenes just don't ring true to me and I'm glad they roll them out only occasionally...... But anyway, bravo Johnny, you cute little bugger.....!!!!

I think part of what is so special about the boys that play Johnny is that they act so naturally with the other adult actors, so you actually feel like he's their son, step-son, etc. Some child actors have a harder time it seems coming off that way. Allie seemed to be getting better but then they shipped her off to Hong Kong. Sydney is still mute. I think Theo and Ciara do pretty well, but I seem to remember when Ciara first started she seemed a little timid in her scenes. But those twins that play Johnny are just so convincing with their interactions. Very good indeed.

I agree that the Kunitz twins do a good job as Johnny and that it has a lot to do with their ease with the other actors.
I also thought the original twins that played Sydney were natural and believable, mostly because they adored Ari(Nicole) and scorned most of the others, esp. James(EJ) which worked well for the storyline and greatly amused me. I also enjoyed how fascinated they were with Ari's jewelry and kept trying to eat it just like any real life baby would have done.

Those Kunitz boys are the cutest things I've ever seen!!!! They are so at ease with all of the cast that they interact with. I don't really think they look like any of their "parents", but as cute as they are, I don't care. It will be a HUGE disappointment when they SORAS these little guys and we are forced to say goodbye. I don't want them to go anywhere any time soon.
The little girl playing Ciara, however, can leave at any time. Man, she bugs the snot out of me. She always seems to be overacting, and I can't stand it.
Sydney is a beautiful little girl (set of twins), but she has ZERO personality. Argh. And since she's kind of a high profile character, I wish they'd find a better girl(s).
Theo, I have no feelings about, since we never see him.
Any other kids? I think that about covers them all.
To sum up - Johnny is super adorable. The rest? Not so much.

The boys that play Johnny remind me of my youngest nephew. Not only in their looks but in their mannerisms as well. The only difference is my nephew is a blondie with all the curls. So needless to say I think those little guys are awesome!

I love little Johnny D! His dialogue is always hilarious, too. I don't mind Ciara, because I like to imagine that she's going to grow up to be a total psycho. That actress has never had more fitting material than when she was cutting up Carly's clothes.

I love them too. Those dimples! And not only are they adorable, but I am amazed at their talent, they remember quite a bit of dialog, which is probably part of why they get to interact with everyone. I too miss the old Sydney, this one is just too much like background, even when Nicole is talking with her. While I am not really fond of Ciara either, I love little Theo; wish they would have him onscreen more often, just not with Abe. ;D The babies playing Parker are by far some of the cutest babies I have ever laid eyes on. They are definitely rocking that paternal DNA!

I can't DEAL with those little cutaway shots to baby Parker. Too cute for words. I squeal an embarrassing amount of times.

I, really, really did not like Ciara's character for a long time. I found she was vacant and just stared away from the screen, etc. But I have grown to love her. She is really adorable. Her scenes today with Theo and them pinky promising each other was just the cutest! Her happy little face when she came around the corner and then hearing the part of th conversation she heard from her parents and her little face dropping. I felt terrible for her.
