		Sheila’s Baby Shocker! Joseph Mascolo (Massimo) weighs in on the story twist that could change his character forever!

	Oops … he did it again. THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Massimo fathered another child — unwittingly, that is. The joyful revelation that he has a baby daughter is only marred by the fact that the child’s mother is none other than psychopath Sheila Carter! Massimo discovers the startling news in the jungles of Calixto while trying to rescue his two grown sons from the clutches of this madwoman and her band of cohorts. Parent Trap "Sheila presents him with this child, and it just knocks him for a loop," says Massimo’s portrayer, Joseph Mascolo. "He doesn’t know if it’s a ploy, because he knows how crazed Sheila can get. Talk about a vulnerable spot for this man!" Provided Sheila’s paternity claims are true, the repercussions are huge for the shipping magnate, who will now be tied permanently to a woman he despises. "Somehow, he’s going to have to figure out how to deal with this maniac," says the actor. "He’s very torn right now." One More Time Meanwhile, the actor can’t resist poking fun at the fact that precious little Diana represents Massimo’s third unplanned offspring. After all, the businessman is still adjusting to the fact that he has two grown sons — Ridge and Nick — by two different mothers, Stephanie and Jackie, respectively. "He’s like a sperm bank," laughs the actor. "A man this brilliant, this smart and this powerful can’t keep his libido under control. Little by little, it seems like I’m propagating half of North America!" Bringing Up Baby While Sheila’s baby news may have Massimo regretting he ever became involved with the deranged seductress, on the bright side, he’ll potentially have a chance to be involved in raising his daughter — a concept that’s quite foreign to him. "He’s got these two grown lugs, and now, all of the sudden, he’s got this little girl," Mascolo says. "Seeing him interact with her will be wonderful. After all, he’s been lucky so far and hasn’t had to go through the teenage years!"
