marlena and john at home in the living room
they talk about carrie having a hard time
john tells her about Hope and Bos visit
and he found out their marriage is not legal
she laughs
he says technically im married to Hope

marlena says i dont believe it ,no that cant be true
john says it might not be true, stefano might be just messing with us
just have to wait and see
she says damn him
he says hey easy girl, like you said we are going to get through this
she says he has tortured us for years how much more do we have to take
he says i dont know but we cant let him get to us,
thats what he wants he is trying to tear us apart
she says ill tear him apart
im going to go see him
he says you can yell and scream at him all you want , its not going to change our situation
she says im not going to yell and scream
im going to kill him
There are two things I don't like about this.

1.) It bothers me how John randomly blurts to Marlena that he's married to Hope, almost as if it's a joke. The John Black I know would agonize over telling her for fear of causing her any pain because he loves her so much.

2.) When Marlena finds out, she asks no questions. There's no "what, how?" or "When did this happen?" There's no mention of Pawn John or Princess Gina. The logistics are never explained. Marlena just accepts it as fact without explanation. Anyone else in Marlena's shoes would ask a million and one questions, starting with "When the hell did you marry Hope?" and "How is this possible?" The fact that none of those questions are asked makes me think we're never going to get the answers we need to make this story work. Everything is going to be glossed over because the writers know there's no way to make it make sense, given the 1999 timeline.

Abigail tells Austin
i have had feeling for you for so long now
i fantasized about us being together
last night was like a dream come true for me

she says its been hard because im your student and because of your wife
now everything has changed we can be together now, one night has changed our whole lives

Abigail comes back to the office
she picks up the bottle and says maybe i should tell him the truth

Oh God Abigail...she is going to be totally and absolutely destroyed by all of this...those scenes are going to be good when Jack and Jennifer find out what she has done to their close friends Austin & Carrie.

I absolutely and positvely when Marlena said "This is not over..." and camera pans to John! Hope! Bo! and Marlena! all with a big thud...it was CLASSIC DAYS..loved it!

And this is why I was hesitant to get into this story in one swoop Abby went from being a 21 with a crush to bat shit crazy. At lease she did tell him she had feeling for him but still here comes Stephanie part deux!
I really hate that they did this to Jack and Jennifer's daughter, but try to maintain Melaine's innocence.
Totally agree. Abby was quickly becoming one of my favorite females on the show defiantly my favorite female from the younger set. She was well traveled, smart, had a sense of humor, knew the difference between right and wrong and seemed to live in reality. At the same time she was very serious and loyal. I know a lot of people didn't like how she dealt with Chad's family but the girl was falling for a guy who ate dinner every night with a family that kept her dad away from her and her family for months on end, tried to destroy her cousin Hope's life and I'm not sure if she remembers the whole Peter Blake thing but it is yet another reason to hate the Dimeras. I actually liked the way Abby handled it even standing her ground against Stephano. She had all the makings of a classic soap heroine and then they throw her under the bus. :shame:
I would agree except DAYS has no idea how to write heroines anymore. This way Kate/Abby will atleast have some real story to play and will not just waste her contract by doing nothing or being in a badly developed relationships which goes nowhere like poor Shelley. Abby is a beautifull, smart, rich girl from a good family. Girls like that can be quite manipulative when they want something, especially with a weak and simple guys like Austin. And I´m actually looking forward what will be her next step and what part is Mel gonna play in it. It´s the only story I really care about right now.

In the pub scene, John and Hope were sitting just a tad too close for comfort. I guess they had to squeeze together to get the foursome in the shot.... not!!!!! Sorry BOPE and J&M fans... I'm calling it as I see it.
Were they all sitting in the same side of the booth? :puke:

John & Marlena were already at the pub & sitting across from each other when Bo & Hope arrived. Hope sat down next to John, & Bo next to Hope. Bo & Hope are definitely closer to each other than John & Marlena in terms of angles around the table, but John & Hope and Bo & Marlena are closer to each other than either actual couple is to their other half (i can't says spouse since Hope & John are apparently the only spouses. lol)

I think/hope Gabby will be the new Jan Spears going full crazy. Abby should be the smart one just manipulating things and nudging people from shadows while still keeping her perfect innocent image in public.

Well it makes sense to me...Jarlena was sitting at opposite sides to begin with when Bope came in....this is totally irrelevant IMO.

I agree. I don't know what the big deal is either. :shrug:

This Austin/Abigail story is now officially creeping me out. How could they do this to Jack's daughter. IT'S BEYOND TERRIBLE!
They are without a doubt going to make this Jack's fault. Even though he was held captive for a year and her mother was running around with Dr. Wonderballs acting like a teenager. "He was never THERE for me, boo hoo". STFU

Another reason Jack and Marlena should be BFFs. Their children both blame them even though their absence wasn't voluntary.

Wow, I didn't see Abby reaching looneyville quite so quickly. I hope this plays out better than it reads, because right now Austin doesn't sound too alarmed to hear that Abby's been misreading his intentions all this time and that she thinks this is the start of a new chapter for them. After Sami, Austin should be flipping panicked right now.

Stefano might have set all this in motion, but I think the foursome needs to stop acting like he's actively trying to rip them apart. He was content with leaving the box sealed. They're all such drama queens.

If I were John and Marlena, I'd feel a little insulted that their cheap-o wedding in 2009 was all their relatives could pull together, and demand a new one ;)

No matter what you think, I DO love you.

Whatever wedding they decide to do for J&M will be kinda lame being that Belle won't be there. Or ShawnD for Bope. I would have rather they skipped this story and not have a wedding, than go through this mess just to get another wedding. Lame.

Deirde has some good one- liners in this episode. " I wouldn't know how to behave if I didn't have some kind of drama in my life." LOL! You can say that again Marlena.

The look on Hope's face was PRICELESS when Marlena said Stefano knows thats a part of the past that they ALL want to forget! LOL!

From what I've read in interviews with MR and KM, it seems Jack will certainly be taking the blame for Abby getting her crazy on. I don't like it. I don't think it's fair or that it really makes sense. However, if it means maybe I get to see Jack more, I guess that's one good thing.

Bring back Jack!

^I'm not sure how they can possibly twist this to make Abby's actions Jack's fault - even if it was true history that he was never around how is that related to pretending to sleep with someone and trying to cause a rift in a marriage. I think Jack would certainly try and blame himself but how anyone else can link the two is beyond me. I really can't understand this sudden switch to Abby being a nutcase.

Despite the inherent flaws in all the stories presented in the preview, I still thought it was pretty good. I'm at least tentatively interested in seeing where things go with this "our marriages don't really count even though that's moronic" thing. Abby going so nutty so quickly is a bit disturbing, but on the other hand if she's not even going to pause to consider that kissing a married man, even one who just caught his wife kissing someone else, is wrong, then I think I'd prefer that it's because she's inherited some of the family mental disorder and not that she's amoral. At some point when she "snaps out of it" she can confront all the shame and guilt then. Or not, which is of course more likely.

Okay, if we're going to go with the rewritten history of Jack never being there for his family, then Jennifer did a great job in raising Abby on her own. Someone please give her the Mother Of The Year Award, NOW!!! :sarcasm:
