SOD/SOW: Marriage Shocker for John and Hope!; 2/14/12 Issue

Besides rewriting history in a way that makes no sense, this proves Carrie is the worst Salem lawyer since Chris Kositcheck. Since when would two Americans have to go to another country to get a divorce simply because the marriage occurred there. American courts routinely grant divorces or annul foreign marriages that took place in other countries? And they typically would apply the divorce law of the state Hope and John are in. Maybe Alamainia won't recognize the divorce/annulment, but I doubt anyone would care about that.

Oh, and anyone thinking this is better than John and Hope having a child . . . nothing in this storyline precludes a mystery baby.

I think this is really stupid. I hope there is much more to it. If not, what a let down.

Why can't Bo and Marlena go? Maybe there is a "rule" that they can't STAY with John and Hope, but I don't see why they can't still go along. Are they going to kick them out of the country?? So ridiculous.
There was only room for 2 with the current budget. ;)

Well, Carrie IS Chris Kositcheck's daughter!!! Like father, like daughter!

I'm more interested in knowing what Alice had on Stefano. But, if it involves a good old '80s-'90s adventure, it could be interesting.

I'm getting really annoyed with MarDar's constant re-writing of history. When they pull shit like this, they're basically telling us, "We don't care that you're a long-time viewer and you remember all the facts. We're going to re-write it the way we want." What's the point of long-term viewership if the stories we spend so much time investing in are going to be undone in the end anyway?

Don't get up. So how are you? What happened, eh? Let me guess, Stefano told you that you could fly,and you jumped off a building. HeHe It's funny right, no I'm sorry Bad EJ, I should'nt be that cruel!

Ah not interesting enough for me, all that buildup for something silly as this.

Please tell me that there is another secret :eyeroll:

I am also VERY ready for a big adventure story, something that will end up with half the cast heading to Alamania as well...MAKE IT HAPPEN DAYS!
LoL, don't get your hopes too high. "Alamainia" will probably be one 4x4 set with cardboard walls.

....and it will look exactly like Austin and Carrie's hotel room.

I could care less about this affecting the Bope & Jarlena marriages. We all know there will be another wedding in the future. What does interest me is the mention of Alamania. Why specifically say Jope was married there?

I'm thinking there's a love child somewhere.
Imagine the brows on that kid... ^o)

There has to be more than the marriage. There HAS to be.

I wonder what the time frame for this little trip is going to be? Is it going to happen in February or...just in time for Billie to arrive in Salem while Hope is out of town?

Well, if we are going to rewrite history I have my own list being an Ejami and all..
- rewrite EJ raping Sami
- Nicole ever coming back to Salem
- the writer's strike
- Dena Higley as head writer
....oh shit, I am getting writing and reality confused.

Back to topic. John & Hope married = LAME

What does Alamania have to do with anything? (It's not even technically 'Alamania', the fans came up with that because country had no name.) But anyway, John spent almost no time there since his debut, and Hope/Gina were never there, and all of this is supposed to be connected to the 1999 subsex? We've already been through subsex-leads-to-possible-baby drama in the early '00s, Stefano getting his jollies over knowing Bope and Jarlena's marriages aren't legal is lame. A Jope marraige neither knew about or want hardly seems like a big deal after every thing else they've been through. There better be more to this (though I think most of us spoiled have an idea what it'll be) because this just seems random and not worth the wait at all.

These writers are notorious for rewriting history.

Exactly. So far, Mardar's rewrites have been horribly destructive and I'm not game.

Does anyone see a wedding here? This promo clearly shows John being kidnapped, taken onto the submarine, having sex with Hope and then being tossed back into the ocean where he was found by Marlena. This all happened in Hawaii in the span of a couple hours. At no time did anyone get off the submarine and have a quickie wedding after a leisurely cruise to Alamainia.



I can handle contrived plot devices if the story is worth it, but this just doesn't make sense. It's simply impossible for John and Hope to be married.
