Fantastic 2024 Preview

LUCAS/LYDIA/JULIA:
Lucas and Lydia have finally come face to face which means it's time to enter a new phase in the story line. Lucas makes it abundantly clear fairly soon that there is no conflict on whether he’ll choose Lydia or Julia, but unfortunately, a curve ball is thrown at them that will present yet another problem. So soon after being reunited, Lucas and Lydia’s love is about to be tested in a huge way, one that they may not overcome. At the same time, we are going to see that this whole situation has quite the negative impact on Julia. Could the stress of Lydia’s return push Julia to the brink?

BETHANY/KAYLIE/DANNIE:
This is another story line that will soon be entering a new phase. Fairly early in the year it is going to come out that Caleb Cooper is in fact Corey Cambino, and that could create a dangerous situation for a few people, especially Dannie, the object of Corey’s obsession. At the same time, Bethany comes to the conclusion that Caleb may be involved in Dannie’s stalking and her quest for answers may put her in harm's way. At the very end of the story, we are going to discover why Meow Cat has been helping Corey and it will be quite the surprise. Also, things will begin to thaw between Bethany and Kaylie. Despite the improvement in their relationship, Bethany will still be uncomfortable with the closeness developing between Dannie and Kaylie and will take action to keep Dannie away from Kaylie.

AVA:
Ava will continue to grow closer with her uncle Lawrence, not realizing the nefarious acts he is orchestrating behind the scenes. Outside of that though, she is going to meet someone she may find herself captivated with. Little does Ava realize that this boy she meets is someone already close to her family.

ANDY/REBECCA/LAWRENCE:
With Lydia’s return to Fantastic, the search for the remaining diamond jewels kicks into high gear. The fake bracelet is in the police evidence locker room while the real one is in Lydia’s possession, but the ring and the necklace are still out there. With a helpful tip from someone in the know, Andy and Rebecca now have a lead on the location of the ring. However, Lawrence also ends up knowing about the ring’s location. Madeline Masters ends up playing a factor as well when she discovers that the jewels weren’t destroyed years ago like she was led to believe. Along with Andy, Rebecca, and Lawrence, we can expect Madeline to show interest in the jewels as well as other parties that will slowly reveal themselves.

SERENA:
Serena returns to Fantastic City upon hearing that Lydia is alive, but she quickly finds herself embroiled in a mystery when she finds a stranger unconscious. She immediately develops a connection with this charismatic stranger, who also suffers from amnesia, but what she doesn’t realize is that he carries with him a secret. Who is this mystery man? When the truth comes out, it will send shockwaves through Fantastic City.
