DUSTY'S RETURN: "When Dusty was believed to be murdered, he left with a lot of things hanging in the fire. So there's unfinished business with Lily and Holden, there's unfinished business with Meg and Paul and Emily, and because Emily's with Casey, with Casey as well. His return creates a lot of ripples on the canvas." JAMES: "James will certainly stir up a lot of trouble, including everything that happens with Lily and Holden and a Snyder family tragedy. There is a huge event that happens because Paul is pushed to the wire to help Meg, to sort of prove himself to Meg, and in so doing he creates a disaster. It's a near-tragic incident." LILY/HOLDEN/CARLY: "Lily is full of anger, but she'd love to have her family back together again. As far as Carly goes, she knows the right thing to do, and Holden knows the right thing to do is pull away from each other, but it's not necessarily easy." JACK/JANET: "In the course of trying to cover up something that he did, Brad implicates Jack. Jack gets into trouble. Brad and Janet trying to protect Liberty, and Jack trying to do what's right causes some issues to arise between Jack and Janet, and also kind of pulls him closer to Carly." BRAD/KATIE: "They're caught up in the story with Leo. Brad does something that is kind of morally questionable, so now Katie has a momentary glimpse of a side of Brad she doesn't like so much and it makes her question: 'Who is this man I married?'" EMILY/CASEY: "Casey, who is miles away from Emily in terms of his experience, has one thing in mind and Emily has another. So you begin to see some conflict there, some choices that are surprising and, of course, then you have Dusty coming." LUKE/NOAH: "Luke and Noah are in their second year of college and as the fall continues, you'll see more and more of them, and Luke is getting more interested in his identity as a gay person. He and Noah have somewhat different ideas about how to express it. Luke gets more interested in gay issues, in making more of a statement maybe that Noah is interested in. There will be further complications to that that will take them in a new direction." MEG/PAUL: "Meg is caught up in Paul's drama with his father. Paul will do anything to keep Meg protected from James. James is still as playfull and dangerous as he has always been, so his presence in Paul's life is very threatening to Meg. She's fragile, that's sort of a high-risk pregnancy, so that makes it even more difficult for Paul. AARON/ALISON/CHRIS: "Alison is kind of in denial about her feelings about Chris and confused by them. As Alison and Aaron move closer together, something will explode with Chris that will threaten their happiness." HENRY/VIENNA: Henry sort of unwittingly gets caught up in some of James's machinations, as do Vienna and Bonnie and a new character, Derek." PARKER/LIBERTY: They'll go back to school, they'll grow up a little and they'll find some surprising family issues that will move their relationship in a new direction." LUCINDA/BRIAN: "We're working in that direction. Brian is a bit younger, but he's very gentlemanly and obviously he appreciates Lucinda for who she is. He also becomes a really good friend to her as things start to kind of explode around and she's definitely interested in him."
