I hope they don't try to sell us that it happened in 1999. It could work if it supposedly happened sometime between 1990-1994. They could easily say that Stefano activated John's chip and had him go meet up with Hope/Gina offscreen at some point. Wouldn't be much different than Bo turning out to be Zack's father because he pantomimed his pee-pee into Princess Gina's putang |

It can't work because Hope was legally married to Bo then. |

Thank you! I was almost certain there was no chance they could be married as Hope and John, but because I could subject myself to the absolute shit that was the "Princess Gina" storyline only so much at the time, I couldn't swear to it. I'm so TIRED of having to suspend disbelief to watch this show anymore. For something or someone new, I have no problem with. I understand it's a soap opera. But when I watched something play out on my screen in front of my own eyes(!!) and they try to tell me it didn't happen the way that it most certainly DID, I just want to pull my hair out! John and Hope...just the THOUGHT makes me wanna :puke: . I will not watch it. |

I won't be watching it either. I'd rather watch the wedding on B&B or old episodes of Days. For Ken Corday to approve this sl shows that he just doesn't care about his show anymore and shouldn't be allowed to run it! Edited by AlisonLou, Feb 2 2012, 01:09 AM.

I actually don't mind history rewrites. Carlivati at OLTL did it continually for 4 years and he's been praised as some savior of the soap genre. The story just doesn't interest me. An 80's style adventure story with no real stakes. Bope and Jarlena's marriages are strong. I guess Stefano could kidnap and brainwash them both back into who they thought they were. Not terrible but not particularly exciting. |

That's what bothers me. It's one thing to make up history for new characters or fill in gaps of time for characters who were SORAS-ed or were off screen for a while, but to totally re-write something that I saw play out with my very own eyes and say it didn't happen that way is maddening. What's the point of long-term viewership when everything you invest in is just re-written anyway? |

No she wasn't. Hope fell into a vat of acid and "died" (yes we all know it was Greta). 'Til "death" they did part in the eyes of the "law" |

Hmm...not sure about this. They have me interested simply because of the Alamainia mention and teasing that there is a bigger plan afoot. However, what hurts this is there is no possible time this could've happened. None. Unless they say at some point in 1999 when Hope became Gina again that John reverted back to being the Pawn prior to his 1999 wedding to Marlena but that is really stretching. It would have to be before that wedding or else John and Marlena's wedding would be legal. I suppose that could explain why Hope/Gina let the wedding happen and seemed like she had some trick up her sleeve but subsex made it come off like she had finally been victorious in getting John back finally so that would still make no sense. I can live with contrivances and stuff like this but there needs to be a gap of time where it's possible this happened and I got nothing. At all. That makes this hard to swallow for me but I still find it interesting at the same time. |

I don't think there's any significance to the fact that the "wedding" took place in Alamainia. The writers probably needed some fake country with fake laws as a way of prolonging the annulment process and they thought using Alamainia would make the fans think they really know their shit. "Look at us, going all the way back to 1990! We're geniuses!" |

LOVE that promo...I love how Stefano says to Hope "You will NEVER see John again!" and Marlena running into the water at the end when she sees him..EPIC. That promo was more entertaining than the last 2 yrs of DAYS. |

Thanks for typing this up, Kenny. Well, this sounds terrible. I mean, first of all, as others have pointed out, it's clear Days is making a sharp U-turn in terms of story focus. No more "unsoap the soap" (not that that ever worked) - we're deep in Garden of Eden territory here. Also, there's the historical issue, as many here have explained so well. It seems like they're rewriting something that played out in detail on screen. But, really, the worst part of this for me is not that they're rewriting the 90's, but that they're rewriting the past few months when they finally tried to right things between Bo & Hope and between J&M. We heard so many interviews and descriptions of how John and Marlena couldn't be closer, how Bo and Hope had finally moved beyond Carly. We saw extra Bope apologies - it seemed like virtually every time they were alone together, Bo would apologize to Hope again! The writers started out trying to right so many wrongs done by Dena and those before her. And now, here we are again, with Hope and John alone together for two weeks and Hope promising Bo that nothing will happen, which on Days is practically a guarantee that something will. So, for all of you saying that longtime viewers have been betrayed, you should rest assured that it seems new viewers are being betrayed as well. Way to go, writers; not exactly the way to save the show. |

There are many countries and States where one must resided for a period of time in order to obtain a divorce! I am looking forward to this, I have a feeling Bo & Marlena will end up there as well and we will get and adventure storyline out of this! |

It certainly doesn't make sense time wise.....100% not at all....and I still am interested in how they are going to explain this to long-term viewers.....but at the same time...I just want some DAMNED intrigue and mystery. that involved the heavy hitters, so I hope this storyline (not matter how contrived) will lead somewhere very entertaining. |

That aspect really doesn't appeal to me personally, but even if I were more of a fan of that type of thing, I think the writers' idea of "intrigue and mystery involving the heavy hitters" is already in progress with Alice's box o' secrets, and we all know how much we're enjoying that. All of their stories have been at a very surface level so far. Perhaps we are underestimating the influence the new producer has, but otherwise, I can't imagine this story would be an improvement in the 'intrigue' department either. |

I hope we don't end up with John and Hope having sex! I'm not watching this sl. But I hope the writers aren't stupid enough to have Hope and John cheat! Edited by AlisonLou, Feb 2 2012, 03:09 AM.
