I agree that it would be incredibly lame to have a surprise random guy or twin.

You will sacrifice so much story and drama potential for an empty, short term gotcha moment.

Since the players have already figured out who John is, use your gotcha moment for the reveal and maximum emotional impact. We can guess who he is but we can't predict exactly when, where and how it will be revealed.
100%, the "gotcha" would be sacrificing the story for a short term shock.
Yeah everyone saw this one coming... doesn't mean you have to come up with a different (much shittier)twist just to surprise people.

It's not only John-Erynn-Iris trio that we would be losing... but also a potential John-Melissa-Emily triangle.
And the MC dating another of John's daughters lol.

Focus on making the scene as emotional as possible instead of surprise effect (characters inside the story can still be surprised/shocked).

I really like the idea of the "unsent" letter from Erynn that she had held on to, unsure of whether to send it or not. She then decides to give it to him and he reads for himself how much him leaving affected her. Perhaps we could even get a few renders showing a sad Erynn with Melissa and Lexi helping her through it.
I also like your flashback idea... not bad.
Doesn't need to be very long.

Erynn starts writing a letter, Melissa comes in and says "writing another one?" and Erynn can express how sad she feels that she hasn't heard anything back yet... how she misses the little guy and wondered if she could/should've done something different.

And a potential - ohshit - John-Melissa-MC triangle ... You'll be up against your surrogate papa. I'd bow out of that one for John.

I love that erynn's mother and father are the people that encouraged him to get his sleeve.

So either ethan gets his phone stolen and ups the pressure on erryn or he finds out who john is and winds up doing something stupid/dangerous, regardless, next update is gonna be some trouble

I can see Ethan finding out John is lying and something happens, Ethan already made the call for a background check.

Whether it's him getting roughed up or going the way of Rachel, it'll get real spicy.

I'm guessing most Melissa content will be confined to fantasies due to her daughter's relationship ( be it friend or lover) with the MC. Well, unless shes having lesbeen content with emily

that's very possible besides john railing her since that'd be potential ntr.

not gonna lie I kinda of do hope for Mel and John to get back together if Emily doesnt get with John but that would bring out the NTR brigade

I wonder if he'd be into her with her current hairstyle though. He might have a thing for blondes :sneaky:

She is one of the main love interests, so she will get content eventually. Nyx says something specific needs to happen story wise before it offically starts moving forward.

I don't think Emily and John will get together after it's revealed he's Erynn's father.

Unless we find out that Mel smashed Santi after he split with Emily (he was flirting with her at the club in a flashback), I don't see her being cool with her best friend/FWB shacking up with her baby daddy.
