im so furious rite now!!!i wanted so bad to know the secret...and now i wish i didnt..really...i dont want my jarlena to be tore apart!!!they were barely happy for one month...and now this???really why not trash other couples....but not J/M..they are off limits...if they wanted to cause bope some drama..then shove billie in the mix but not john!!!he better stay faithful to marlena..or i wont be able to root for them..ever again.

btw- john slept with kate when he thought marlena was dead...then when alex north came along..he step aside cause marlena wanted to be with alex..another shit...
John and Marlena being apart and fighting to be together doesn't bother me. Some of their best stories were about that (see their affair in 1993). But back then John was a romantic hero who only wanted one woman : Marlena

So it's not the being apart that bothers me....its keeping John true to character. If Jarlena are apart, and John only wants, loves, yearns for, and has an emotional connection to Marlena, then fine.

But if at ANY point John becomes physically attracted to - or emotionally attracted to- Hope, he's toast. He will be a complete douchbag and an asshole. No way to spin it.

however disappointing this may turn out to be....I'm glad they are going there. The Princess Gina saga was one of the best things this show has ever done. Lets get back to Stefano's omnipotence instead of the impotent Grampy he has become. As cheesy as the 90's were, it was Days at its entertaining best. I couldn't wait to see the next episode
Yeah, it really is rather futile trying to rationalize everything. there will always be gaping plot-holes, but that's just more to get a laugh out of. I also loved the Princess Gina but that was after the Posession nwhich is what reeled me in. absolute insanity. I'm cool with that. And definitely PLEASE make Stefano a total bad-ass again. Give him some competition in Victor too, please! Also...this Ian character intrigues me. Sadly, so far, Madison does not.

I actually like this twist. I'm ready for the action to be taking out of Salem for a bit. It's getting a little to same old/same old everyday. Plus this gives the big 4 a big storyline. I'm hoping for lots of complications and for John and Hope to end up in grave danger and then have Bo and Marlena forced to rescue them...

This kind of reminds of when Austin and Sami had to stay married or whatever in Europe, when Will was kidnapped.
Everyday has been ...Some time on the random HTS sofa (stupid!) or some shoebox sized office...lame. Or the pub *yawn* or the karate spa which apparently only has one tiny room near the reception area since all the classes are in the reception area apparently lol

i wish i could be positive like u..but it took yrs for days to pair jarlena as a couple..then they throw hope,kate,roman,alex north in the mix..they never had one moment piece..and from the writin in these past weeks (cafe/AA2)..i wouldnt surprise if they have john and hope sleep together...even if they regret afterwards...i want that story to be buried!!!why not let hope fuck stefano instead?She done it in the past!just leave jarlena alone!!!

In the last several years, Marlena has rescued John from his paralysis and his jail sentencing. She's spent the last several years rescuing him from one pickle or another.

Let John return the favor. Maybe he should have to spend a few years doing nothing but devoting his time and energy to Marlena.

Like I said, that makes John a douchebag. I don't care if he's legally married to Hope or not. He will be an asshole if he feels anything for her other than an acquaintance-like "meh".

There's nothing more disgusting in a man than developing feelings for someone other than your soulmate. But hey, if they want to make John an unlikeable pig to 75% of the viewing audience out there, who am I to stand in their way?

And if John develops any sort of sexual feelings for Hope (or an emotional bond with her) Sami will be correct about him.

Could care less about what Sami thinks. She's got her stubby hands into everyone's story right now and I'm sick to death of her.

Once upon a time on this show, there were reasons, repurcussions and follow through for when a character did something OOC. We may have absolutely hated what was happening but we understood it and could forgive and move past it because the motivations were explained and the consequences dealt with. Sometimes for YEARS. Like when Kim slept with Victor. When Jack raped Kayla. When Marlena and John had the affair. When Marlena stripped for Stefano. When I first became old enough to really watch this show (and I don't mean sneaking and watching it when my mom and grandmother weren't looking, lol), I realized that there were very complex histories to these characters. Histories that involved people that even though may have no longer been on the show, were still very much a part of the reason for their actions. And it wasn't contrived, twisted garbage. It was stuff that played out on screen that I was able to read about in magazines, books, etc., that explained WHY these people acted the way I was watching them act. We knew who each and every character was, and we knew what their actions were going to be, not because they were predictable, but because that was their CHARACTER. And if they were written to have done something OOC, we knew there would be a damned good reason for it. It may have been a plot point, but it was very well-written and well-developed plot point that MADE SENSE. Stories played out over months and months, that led into another part of the story that lasted for months and months, with just enough twists and turns along the way to keep me glued to my TV for an entire hour five days a week. And God help anyone that tried to talk to me during that time, LOL. They knew better!

Now, Days is lucky if I remember to turn it on. There is no depth to this show. Who the hell knows these characters anymore? Who can trust that John and Hope won't sleep together when they go off for two weeks as Jawn and Gina? They've done it before. For NO GOOD REASON. Sorry but a brain chip is not a believable enough excuse for me to accept John not knowing/remembering that Marlena is the love of his life. Same for Hope/Bo. Brainwashing I can accept. I watch (or WANT to watch) this show to see people I've watched and cared about for years deal with stuff that I know won't, most likely, ever occur in MY life, but possibly COULD. But the sci-fi crap is just bullshit. I could maybe accept them having to sleep together (or better yet, how about just PRETEND to and make Bo and Marlena think they did. Love Stefano and his mind games!) in order to save Marlena and Bo's lives or something like that, IF IT'S WRITTEN PROPERLY. But seriously, brain chips and memory data discs? Frozen alien eggbabies? Um...no. And really, I don't think I could even accept them going there again with John/Hope no matter how well it might be written, because of the WAY it was written the last time.

There are so many things wrong with this show. I really do think I've finally given up hope that those things will EVER be fixed.

:shame: This is part of the reason I've stopped watching the show I've been watching since it first started. I had so much hope with these writers but this s/l is ridiculous and not the Bope s/l this fan wanted. I can no longer watch the Sami/EJ show or Will falling into to EJ's spell and for sure not watch my favorite couple being background s/l and when they finally get a s/l, it's this garbage. hadn't watched in 3 weeks and afraid I will NEVER go back. So thanks for the wonderful memories as they are over.

You know what I find SO very depressing...?
The fact that John & Hope have been on more trips together to find out stuff about his past than what John & Marlena have ...I hate days. :soapbox: Where is the logic in that?!?!

Well, one thing I know for sure is Bo and Hope's love will always win out in the end. As will John and Marlena's. No matter what Stefano throws at them. I am just happy Bope might get an actual storyline instead of looking through boxes over and over again... for months on end.... ( :sleep: ) So glad that is over LOL

I do agree on the fact that their love will always win and bring them back to each other, BUT in the end the writers write this shit...If they want Hope & John in bed together; they could very well do that. And I have a feeling this is where they are going to end up. And then they will pull that "we were not our selves..." card for the hundread time!
