Thank you. I'm a HUGE J&M fan, but I can't even remember the last time I flew into a verbal rage about them. Probably not since the Alex North story.

Your right.

That is why when I post about J&M fans I always try to note that I am not talking about all of them, just the ones that are rabid and obsessed, as you said. Sometimes I even mention posters like you, Ellie, and Lynn specifically to make sure you all know I am not talking about you.

It's a shame that some get lumped in. That is the case with all fanbases and it sucks that some have to pay for the craziness of others.

I used to be a big J&M fan and then I just lost interest, probably because I felt Drake wasn't into it anymore. Now, though, I am interested in them again due to the new take on them with John's transformation.

All I can say is folkses takes on different personalities at different places ;) ....the non-obsessive J&M folkses better start speakin' up, cause their fanbase has a helluva rep! And I don't mean in a good way.
I lost interest in Marlena a LOOOOONNNNGGGG time ago.

That being said.........YAY ANNA! :hail: I'll join in the "GET THIS LADY A CONTRACT" bandwagon

Sorry, I don't consider being a fan of a couple (yes I'm a John and Marlena fan) obsessive, anymore then any fan of a certain character or couple. I think most fans that post on message boards or write letters to magazines are more the same then they are different. We are all obsessive to a point or we wouldn't be spending time posting about a TV show. Besides, it's more fun when you really love a character or couple, I know I would have stopped watching Days long ago. I didn't even think twice when I stopped watching OLTL or Y&R (could only take that show for about 2 years and I was over it).



Wooohoooo! John and Marlena :cheer:

Hops, I am afraid you misunderstood.

No one is saying it's wrong to be a fan of a couple or to show support and push for your couple and what you want to see.

What some of us are saying is that some fanbases get a bad rep because many of them have people or groups of people who do nothing but nitpick over little things (fountains, etc.) and seem to never be happy unless they see their couple 24/7, happy, and doing nothing but being in stories together thereby foregoing any possible individual stories for both characters, which ultimately hurts both characters. It's sad that everyone gets lumped together with the bad apples who are irrational and over the top about what they want and that is what we are saying. The whole fanbase isn't bad but some in it are and that is where the problem lies and that goes for any fanbase.

Its funny, I was the biggest obsessed John and Marlena fan out there up until the stupid Melaswen storyline came along after the Salem Serial Killer. Then I kind of lost interest in the show completely when she was in that castle and John was with Kate. The writer's really have come up with some ridiculous stories for them. I think I stopped watching the show altogether for a while. John's coma and then getting killed off hurt a lot. When he came back, I became one of those obsessed fans again. And Deidre and Drake have been rockin this storyline.

All I gotta say is, sometimes it pays to complain and be loud. We are the whole reason Drake was brought back. So, for that, I think the ranting and raving paid off. I mean, you have to admit, 2007 pretty much sucked for J&M. John was in a coma for 6 months, he came back and they were barely on, used as a sideshow for the Colleen/Santo stuff, then he was killed, which was completely heartbreaking. I think we had some legitimate beefs.

I don't think so...even he said it was because of the fans. Unless he straight out lied, Drake said he got a new agent and was even doing other auditions.
