I have a question. Did anyone ever establish why and how Marlena never discussed a marriage prior to Don and how it is he abused her but we (the viewers) and fellow Salemites never saw any reprecussions from the said abuse. I am watching some of this on Youtube since I couldn't stand to watch it then and actually can stand to watch it now. It all seemed very contrived to me. Some dumb way to bring Wayne back in the picture. So yeah lets just make Marlena a battered wife. And how was it they were still "married" all those years later? |

Reilly never cared about the history of the show. When he had a storyline in mind, he wrote it no matter what the viewers saw in the past. That's the only answer. LOL! |

I guess at some point Alex was supposedly killed which caused Marlena to develop hysterical amnesia. One of the dumbest storylines ever,the only good thing that came out of it in my opinion is Marlena was never legally married to Roman,then the down side at that point wasn't legally married to John either. |

Alex North, Iraq & Virtual Eden go down as the worst storylines ever. |

All I know for a fact is that the way the story ended up... was NOT the way it was intended to be in the beginning! |

From what I have heard in the past it was supposed to end up something like: Marlena remembering that John and Marlena were first loves (meaning that they met back when Marlena was in college). Alex found out about them in college (she met John when she was married to Alex) and "got rid" of John... which caused Marlena to be so traumatized she lost her memory, forgetting John and Alex! I am pretty sure, from what I remember hearing, that was how that sl was supposed to be! |

The storyline finally ended in May of 2006 when Marlena had gotten her memory back and Alex later fell off a cliff after John had saved her. |
