Does Hope not say goodbye to Ciara?
So Hope's just going to up and leave her daughter after all the trauma she has suffered?
I get she is trying to fix things but why no mention of how ths would affect her child?
Between Hope and Sami I don't know whose worse!

WOW.. This implying that because they are alone, it puts them in danger of sttaying. It makes me SICK that these writers are making our beloved Couples look like unstable unfaithful weak of mind and heart spouses.. who are prone to succumb to Lust and forget about the loves of their lives within a 10 day span...... Its rediculous, and in all truth if they do that to these 2 couyples I dont think I will be able to watch anymore, They were the last saving Grace to Romance and true love on this show.Im sick to my stomach even thinking about it.

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.
Oh God Ellie.. If they have John and Hope stray and have sex, simply because Bo and Marlena couldnt join them and they are alone I will be devastated. If that happens I will almost without belief wish they had NOT returned.. It makes me Sick to even think of Jarlena subjected to such sleazy writing.

Where is Ciara, She was not even at Sydneys Birthday Party .... These writers are HACKS of the worst kind.. I mean what happened to Bo and Hopes Counseling ?? DROPPED .... Are we sure Marlene McP is not really Dena Hackley ????? They have much in commen in writing styles.

Oh wow does this sound bad, lol. BUT, if it's interesting I'm sure I'll be able to ignore the ridiculousness of this. I'm just sadly not sure it'll be interesting!

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

You know, I know this doesn't make sense (the timeline of it and all) and the tie in to Alamania too, but I'm sort of intrigued by it enough to actually want to watch it play out.

......so at the end of all of this both couples get married again for the 20th time, right?
Right? This all seems like one big excuse for some supercouple sweeps weddings.

So, Alice would REALLY keep this from Hope? Seriously? Somehow, I just don't see that happening. So, writers, thanks so much for screwing with the memory of Alice. :shame: Secondly, this is stuipd. Just plain stuipd. If this is how Days is unsoaping the soap, I'll continue not to watch. I hated all of this back then so why would I watch it now.

Jake & Marley ~ Jarley <333

This sounds friggin' exciting to me! :biggrin: I've been waiting for something like this since I started watching this show again at the relaunch...some type of adventure storyline. And it SO beats that damn boring embezzlement storyline. :sleep: I am so glad that Kristian Alfonso previewed that there would be more to it than just simply getting the marriage annulled. Bring on the complications! This story sounds like fun! :dance:

As for the how it is possible that John and Hope are married, from what the articles say, I'm willing to bet it happened sometime in '99 OFFSCREEN and before John and Marlena were married. As we know the writers like to write things that happen offscreen, plus given the fact that days in Salem last 3-4 days for us, we really end up only seeing about 100 days in Salem every year. So that gives them PLENTY of opportunity to write things that happen offscreen. So they'll probably just say that at some point in time John's brain chip was activated and they had some quickie marriage that we didn't see. I am willing to go with the flow as this is DAYS after all, and I've had years of practice suspending my disbelief on many things that have happened. And anyway, I am much more interested in seeing the fallout from this story than over-analyzing the history and validity of it all. It's a soap opera and not everything is supposed to make sense. I learned that a long time ago. LOL!

What's exciting about it? John and Hope have no chemistry and are a bore together. History is being trashed and the memory of our beloved Alice is also being ruined.
So we are supposed to accept Bope's beautiful wedding in 2000 where Alice was a bridesmaid was a farce?
That wedding is now tarnished.
That was the last wedding of Bope's that Francis Reid (Alice) was in.
What a way to tarnish Alice's memory.
Who wants to see a little girl's family fall apart? Everyone seems to be forgetting Ciara in all this.
There will be a huge loss in viewership because of this. This show is a mess!
Who wants to watch this when they can watch a beautiful wedding on B&B?
I certainly won't be watching!
And Kristian was wearing Hope's wedding rings from Bo in a pic she tweeted a couple of weeks ago when they were filimg epis for the beginning of April.
So it looks like she still considers herself to be Bo's wife!

So, I wonder when this farce was supposed to have taken place? Before or after or during when Hope/Gina had sex with John and Stefano on the sub? Or before or after John married Marlena? Worst story arch yet. That's all I can say about this crud.

It's been a while since I've seen the clips so I'm probably wrong, but wasn't John (as Roman) part of the group who helped retrieve Jennifer from Alamania? I know I remember Shane being there, but I want to say "Roman" was the first person Jen ran into after getting out from the underground caves. If it was him, that puts him there in the early 90s. Since I was watching JnJ edits, though, I have no idea if he had other stuff going on there.

This has intrigued me at least and I'm happy these 2 couples are in a story that appears to be about them. I don't know why being together for 2 weeks equals being in love. And this was not Alice's secret, it was Stefano's so Alice didn't keep this information from them.

I am actually really interested in seeing how this plays out. I have been bored to tears with the show. I fell in love with Days because of the stories in the 90's, so hopefully this will give us something good to watch finally. I am probably the only Bope die-hard fan who loved the original PG story (minus sub-sex.. I could have gone without that *eek) The "un-soaping the soap" stories of embezzlement, politics and teen website drama almost made me give up on the show.

That being said, I just really wish they had stayed true to history. Its hard for me to rationalize stories when there is no way in the timeline it could happen. John and Hope have never been offscreen at the same time to get a quicky wedding. Not to mention if Jen can divorce Jack in a week without him even here, you would think it wouldnt be so complicated for this one.

Why cant Bo and Marlena go? Is it illegal for more than 2 people to fly into Alamainia at the same time? LOL

If Hope's name is on the certificate, does that mean at some point Hope Brady (as Hope, NOT Gina) married John? You would think if this took place when she thought she was Gina, it would be Gina's name on the marriage certificate.

As solid in love as Bope and Jarlena are and have always been, I really hope they do NOT have Jope developing real feelings for each other out of the blue (Carrie/Rafe anyone?) In 30 years, they have never had feelings for each other. Only when both were brainwashed into thinking they were other people has anything ever happened. I cant see how some time alone would make either one of them forget the love they share for their soulmates.

Mystery and intrigue are great, but at what cost, especially where MarDar's record is concerned?
