DAYS:SOD Spoilers; Drake watch continues...

DAYS Drake Watch Continues

The rumor that Drake Hogestryn is returning to DAYS as John Black is about to gain a whole lot of momentum, judging by a story point in this week's on air shows.

Dr. Rolf, wearing bloody scrubs, tells Stefano that the "patient" will recover soon. Stefano says he'll need the "patient" to fight someone he refers to as his nemesis. Could the DiMeras have had John the whole time? It's certainly possible: He was buried awfully quickly - the morning after he dies on the hospital and the casket was never opened, fueling speculation that Salem's No. 1 hero is not really, most sincerely gone.

The buzz are the studio is quiet for now. "Drake's name hasn't appeared on any scripts and he is not scheduled to be at the set anytime soon," says a source. But they might be keeping quiet so work doesn't leak out."

The actor, whose current contract with the show expires this month, was recently in Australia on a publicity appearance with Exec Prod. Ken Corday and co-stars Deidre Hall (Marlena) and Thaao Penghlis (Tony). "Why would they send him to Australia if they weren't going to bring him back?" points another setsider. "it wouldn't make sense. Plus, Ken was there. If he had really fired Drake, wouldn't that had been awkward?"

Though Hogestyn insisted in October that John Black "met his maker" on DAYS coming back from the dead is just another day in Salem.

Spoilers

Lucas agrees to conspire with Kate.
Stefano warns EJ to get control of Sami.
Kate confronts Roman about Marlena
Bo warns Hope that his patience with Belle is wearing thin.

On Friday, December 7, Roman arrests Marlena for EJ's shooting.

Those sound pretty decent, minus the people I hate and the John thing. Only Reilly could pull off that weird stuff, and he could only do it a decade ago. But my feeling is that it's Andre, not John. Don't know why. Maybe 'cause Andre never dies and without mind control John wouldn't fight on Stefano's behalf.

Although, if they use the John thing to explore what happened to Steve that could be interesting.

Love that Bo is getting tired of Belle. That's what the storyline needs- someone to be a voice for viewers who aren't sympathetic to her, um, plight.

Sorry but this sounds lame.

I hope SOD is WRONG and that John Black is not coming back as a Frankenstein science project.

I wish that too but John will never remain dead. Not in this fanbase-dominated current state of soaps. I do think if John returns it was always the plan and I think maybe Ed had to give in on this for the benefit of ratings but I also think that even if Days wanted him to stay dead, they would eventually bring him back due to the fanbases. Days always caves because they feel they have no choice and, in all honesty, if they want to survive, they don't have a choice.

I just hope they properly explain John's return in a realistic and logical manner and that the story is good. Drake also has to bring it acting-wise and I need to see solid direction for him. If I get that, I can look past this.

I knew it was only a matter of time. I never bought Drake saying there was no truth to the rumors and I never bought the whole nothing is appearing in scripts thing. It just means they are keeping it quiet, just like they did his "death."

This actually sounds a bit like how John came on as the Pawn. It's mysterious.

The storyline involving the "patient" does sound intriguing. I love Hogan's mysteries, because it's not written on the wall from the start of the story. Things fall into place along the road, and we can finally start speculating again as to what's about to happen. DAYS fans haven't been able to do that in a long time. I'm one of the fans that want John back, so I would accept this, even if it does mean thtat John's death was just another DiMera trick..again <_<

I hope it's not Andre. If they're going to use Thaao, I'd rather they write for Tony (and Anna), not Andre.

The spoilers look good for the week. Lucas and Kate conspring reminds of when Lucas was actuallly written correctly and true to character. Lets hope with Dena Higley's help, the writers can give Lucas his true personality back, and it's not this gentleman type we've been seeing for the past few years, that's for sure.

I can't wait for Shawn to find out that his parents knew about Belle's affair. Shit's going to hit the fan! :D

And how awesome is it going to be to see Marlena arrested. This storyline is picking up!

Unfortunately, yes.

Like I said, if he was told not to say anything about what he may have heard or what he knows, he has to keep to that promise or risk firing or ruining what the show is doing.

It's the unfortunate part of the job when you have to lie to fans but it's happened so many times. Look what TSJ did last year for OLTL. He gave a false interview and everything to make it sound like Todd would be executed. It happens.

Rumors come and go but when rumors keep flying out consistently and when they don't go away that usually means there is some truth at the center. That happened with John's death this year after a summer filled with rumors. Only untrue rumors go away.

I also think that Dee's reactions were the most telling. She hinted that the door wasn't closed in SOD in the John's death article, saying you "never say never." She hesitates everytime she is asked about him, almost like she is thinking before she speaks. Now that could be her not wanting to say something against the show but I doubt it. She still obviously loves the show so she as hiding something.

I just read on the Sony boards that Drake did an interview in CBS Soaps In Depth and said the door is not closed at Days and sources once again said that he would be back in Salem in early 2008. Don't know how true this is or recent but I guess it was said he mentioned the strike so it had to be recent.

The rumor mill is not dying and we have so many sources saying shit. Something is up. I can see Days sneaking him into the Christmas show somehow for a miracle-like thing.

Here's to hoping that if John is alive they make it clear Marlena didn't know. It also makes me wonder if they'll get air time - they sure didn't from the time of his coma till he was hit by the car. Marlena is wicked good right now and while I do like John, Marlena is the stronger of the two (for me) and I'd rather see her getting good storylines than both of them being ignored. (If that even makes sense)

Of course the rumor mill is not dying because so many people WANT TO BELIEVE the rumors. So people are going to make up rumors to satisfy these people whether they are true or not.

If Drake was really coming back to DOOL he had no reason to say the negative things about the show and NBC that he said in explaining his situation with the show. That's a fact.

We'll see, IMA.

If he shows up within the month, it will validate everything.

I could care less. I wish he would stay gone for alot of reasons. I just know better then to think he will :lol:

I want John to be alive for the sake of seeing what the Dimera's have done, or will do to him. But, I won't be pleased seeing another false death. Besides, I'm loving Marlena as an individual. Theres so much potential for her, as we've seen over the past few days, on her own.

I dunno, y'all. The people at Days, gods bless 'em, just don't seem competent enough to pull off a long-term story plan for John's return while simultaneously keeping it a secret. Yeah, he'll probably show up eventually because nobody stays dead and they'll need a ratings jolt at some point, but that won't indicate to me that they plotted this whole deal.

I'm all for a good guessing game- I love what viewers come up with- but I'm not down for another soap mystery right now, so I hope this patient thing is resolved quickly.

I wonder how Marlena's arrest will affect their holiday celebrations. I also sort of wonder how Sami will react to her father arresting her mother, because that relationship was important to her for like a decade, but I don't want to see Sami to see how she responds, if that makes sense.

Anything involving Dr. Rolf is an instant turnoff for me. I hate how he's has Godlike superpowers and can just make anything happen at any given time, including bringing the dead back to life.

Idiotic.

If it's John, it's idiotic. If it's Andre, it's doubly as idiotic. However, I hope they don't drop the mystery patient aspect, because this show has a bad tendency to start a mystery and then never finish it (remember the "What's in Stefano's freezer?" mystery of 1998/1999?). Looking at the current canvas, the only 'mystery patient' possibilities are Andre or John, though. Unless they manage to bring back a character from the past and they've kept it under wraps all along.

Completely agreed. And don't even get me started on Rolf himself coming back from the dead...

They actually solved the mystery freezer. I think all that was down there was paintings or some shit. It made no sense but I remember it came up during Stefano and Vivian's story together.

Dr. Rolf has been worlds better under Hogan. He is acting like a personal physician rather then a mad scientist.

It is intriguing and it's the type of story that could help bring fans in this time of year with people home for the holidays. Obviously, everyone will suspect John and I think it is him but making it someone else would be shocking and would make this worth it.
