Still, Nikolas was in prison for many months until Luke and the police
finally captured Helena. There was no explanation as to how she
survived the fall.
2005-A.J. is not really dead (do
we sense a trend here?)
A.J. faked his own death, with the help of lover Rachel, in order to get

was blamed for smothering A.J. with a pillow, and then later Sonny
confessed, but Michael remembered that he was the one who had smothered A.J.
