Actually it is the same rumor that has been going around. But supposedly this person is quite reliable.

I love John and Marlena, however....

I don't want this to be true unless Marlena is in the dark about it. I will never believe that the Marlena we are seeing now is aware that her husband is alive and well and that she is putting her children, especially Belle, through this.

Also, if Marlena knows, then what? Marlena and John just go back to the back burner. It would play out much better and have stronger ramifications if John left her in the dark. How would she deal with her recent behavior if she found out she was tricked? John would have a lot of explaining and groveling to do. But maybe he thinks he's justified.

There are more paths to take if she doesn't know.

I don't know what to think lol. I mean if this is true it really doen't jive with the way Marlena has been acting. I mean why would she shoot EJ and risk going to jail if she knew that John was alive... I mean talking on Stefano I can understand, but shooting EJ not so much.

I hope this one is true.

I really hate the one about him coming back as someone new.

If this happens, it's news to Dee who is really reported to be enjoying playing Marlena with an edge. Marlena would not have this edge if she believed her husband to be alive and especially if she believed he was taking care of business. I think we would be seeing a more remorseful person to throw everyone off.

This would make no sense with how Marlena is acting. They can do this but Marlena must be in the dark for it to work.

There are too many rumors going around for me to deny Drake is coming back. He will likely be back and my hope is they explain his return in a logical, realistic manner because it can be done, especially with ISA involvement. If they can do it right and give John solid direction, then I can deal with it. Drake must bring it acting-wise too because Ed Scott has brought such an energy that all the actors and actresses are raising the bar big time.

I was just thinking... wouldn't it be a kick it BOTH John AND Marlena were working for the ISA? I know that it is highly unlikely, but that thought just amuses me lol :P

I heard this one was shot down as NOT true. A member of DEE's site said she said this was not true. I find this rumor completely doubtful. If true this would make a really good SL really bad....as in REILY bad.lol

Drake had been still listed in the credits of the show until late last week. He is completely gone now so maybe that says something.

Days may just have figured out how to fire a big star quietly.

Any story like this opens up a lot of possibly interesting aspects about who knew, when, and how they could screw with their family that way. But, they're issues Days fans couldn't tolerate- would anyone wait to see it play out, really, before complaining that John or Marlena or whoever would never do this? And Days writers couldn't hope to pull it off well.

So, I hope it's not true and he just stays dead.

supposedly this person is quite reliable.

they think they're reliable because they got it from someone who posts "scripts" to the show the day before it airs! like OMG! :P

Meaning it's someone who lives in Canada where the show airs a day ahead and they post a preview, like many, many others. I just don't think the folks on the soapnet board are quite bright enough to figure that out :lol:

There's no connection between the number of rumors and their credibility. When ED left Y&R, numerous 'sources' claimed she was headed to DAYS. In reality, TPTB did not even approach her. It was inevitable Drake's firing would lead to every Tom, Dick or Harry posting rumors about his return.

Drake has already refuted this. He said the story is written through Feb Sweeps and he's been given no indication that John is involved. Not saying they won't bring him back at some point but if it was this imminent, Drake would know about it.

He may have been lying too, Ponz.

He may be keeping the story quiet. Dee has been awfully hesitant about answering questions related to it, almost like she knows something.

I'm not so sure about story being written through February sweeps. I think there may be outlines but nothing definite, especially with the strike and all we have heard about only having scripts until early January.

Also, when the mags start picking up on these rumors and reporting them, that usually means they have an idea there may be some truth behind them. Case in point, rumors all summer that Drake would be leaving and killed off. The magazines pick up on it and a month later he's gone and killed off, Same goes for everyone being alive during the SSK story. Magazines pick up on rumors and a month later it comes to pass.

The mags will always mention rumors but when they go out of their way to present them in a way where they are made a big deal of like these Drake rumors, they clearly know there may be something to them.

Also, the fact that most of these rumors and the mags keep mentioning January sounds like too consistent a theme to not have some truth behind. It's just a little too specific. I wish he would stay gone but I have seen and heard too much for it not to be true. Plus, we have word of a big December return that keeps coming up in discussions so something is up.

Marlena working for the ISA would be hot.

I know. Did you see her helping John out and being all cutesy trying to charm Patrick and steal his phone? It'd be awesome. BUT. I don't want her to have known. I want John and Marlena both to be unknowing of it. John's been stripped of his memories again and doesn't know who he is, Marlena finds him accidentally, after she [hopefully] marries Stefano (for whatever reason).

I hope Drake will return as John Black but the scenario given on Soapnet won't work based on what we've seen. There are plenty of ways to bring John back without he or Marlena being in on his death. The SOD article with Rolf working on a patient can definitely lead to John's return.

I want the story to develop with Marlena and Stefano and once it begins to climax John returns. In the meantime I want J/M and J/S fbs to make John a part of the story.

In the strike articles Sheffer and the script writer said the stories were written out through December.

I think I blocked out everything Patrick Lockhart. LOL.
