But hey, let's just repeat what isn't working. I'm not going to debate much of what you wrote, I will just say I don't agree with it lol But I highly doubt the ratings went down because John and Hope were sharing scenes together. JER had left; all of the big stories had ended... Everyone talks about what the "fans" want. Well, if you are John and Marlena fan, of course any story that in anyway betrays their "sacred love," it is going to be considered a horrible story. Same with Bo and Hope, and Tony and Anna, and Steve and Kayla. But there are a lot of fans out there who watch for the whole show. They care about story. I found the John and Hope connection interesting and I wish it had gone forward. Tony and Marlena? Not so much. John and Marlena fans tuned in, loving most of the stories, when they weren't even together. I watched when John was with Kristen and loved the show, so I disagree that any story that doesn't have J&M together is going to be something fans won't watch. The problem with the John/Hope story was that there was never anyone to root for. But when John was with Kristen, I rooted for John and Marlena. That's the difference between two different writers right there. The only John/Hope connection was a contrived rewrite of history, claiming that John was in love with a Hope look-alike in his past. Yet all his years in Salem living as a Brady he never looked at Hope and felt any kind of connection to his past? Puleeze. The whole thing was ridiculous and turned millions of fans away.
