Also can we get a CLASSIC John/Marlena/Stefano storyline this time....this is when Jarlena is at their best.
It has been a mystery to me that TomSell haven't bothered to have Stefano even notice that John left Marlena alone and vulnerable to him. :shrug:
I would love a scene where John calls Stefano out on this.

I have such mixed feelings about this. While I want to see John Black in Salem, after the recent hit his character took I don't trust TPTB to write him true to character.

I would love it if they explained his "sleeping with Kristen plot to break up Bristen" by all the brainwashing he went through with Stefano. There's just no way the real John Black would have done that to his wife and son.

I found her quite interesting. I enjoyed her more than I have in, oh, about six years.
In the past six years she was only around for 4 yrs.
My point was that the last time I found her this interesting was six years ago, not that I didn't enjoy her for the two years that she and John were mercifully in Switzerland.

Maybe John and Hope turn out to be married still, and they decide to just go with it... ;)

I'd rather Marlena point it out to John. Of course it's completely ridiculous that these writers ignore all that history especially having John leave town in the first place.

Damn :( I was pulling out for Marlena / Roman. Lmao.

John has been so boring since his 2011 return. Hopefully this spikes things up.

I may be wrong but I doubt this return is permanent and I wouldn't be surprised it was just for Brady as it is rumored he turns to drugs after Kristen is found out.

No. TomSell did have Hope & John's divorce (or Gina & Jawn's or whichever alter ego pairing was married) finalized, but it was said in 2 lines in one episode & then never talked about again. I believe Bo & Hope remarried (offscreen) after the finalized divorce, but I'm not sure John & Marlena did.

They better write a good story. But I feel like instead this will end up being an "i'm sorry" & then five minutes later Marlena forgives him. Whatever...

Drake Hogestyn, who last aired as John in June, returns to the DAYS studio today to begin taping new episodes. Expect the actor to air again in early 2014. In the 8/12 issue of Digest, Executive Producer Ken Corday indicated there was a good chance Hogestyn would be back, adding, "I consider him one of the iconic characters in Salem and someone who can come and go because John Black is a superspy, know all-do all. It is very possible that by the end of the year or the turn of the year, you will see him again."
I'm so happy he's coming back. Brady needs his father and marlina needs John. :D

As much as I'd love to say it's the case, Days isn't hemorrhaging viewers because of certain actors being gone. Days is hemorrhaging viewers because the writing is crap. You can bring in amazing actors (or even Drake - just kidding!) all day long and it the writers keep churning out useless material, then people will lose interest.

That said, I'm glad for the John fans. I live in hope (and a healthy amount of fear of what crap writing they'd pull out) that MA will return someday.

Marlena and Belle-Mother and Daughter

I am really happy to hear this news and as much as I hated what they did to John, I'm glad he's back. I miss John and Marlena like the dickens and I want them back together so bad! I want John to beg for Marlena's forgiveness and an explanation for why he treated Marlena the way he did because there was no excuse for it. The John we saw was an impostor, he would never act the way he did towards Marlena or Brady for that matter. Marlena is the love of his life and for him to treat her the way he did and say he had "lingering feelings" for Kristen is bullshit! We J&M fans know that John hated Kristen after what she did to him and to Marlena, there would have been no way he would ever realize he still had feelings for her. :shame:
Especially since we J&M fans know that John wanted to be with Marlena the whole time he was with Kristen. He fantasized about being with her and saying how much he loved her to anyone who would listen. Now I just hate when new writers come along and change things, especially when the change is completely and totally out of character and and a kick in the ass to the history of the characters. :redface:
I can't wait for TomSell to be fired but in the meantime, hopefully there will be something good with John coming back. I won't hold my breath though. It will be nice to see Deidre and Drake together again though, and that I can definitely live with. They are just so good together no matter how horrible the writing is. :hug:

I'm conflicted about this. John is a character that is highly important to the canvas, but Drake was SO terrible this past year. And I'm also one of the ones who has been enjoying solo Marlena right now. What I DON'T want is a J&M insta-reunion where they immediately get pushed to the backburner. Give me a story involving them and Stefano. Something good.

I don't totally blame Drake for all that. He had a hard time with the material he was given. Granted, he probably could have tried a little harder but I definitely understand his frustration. I mean the crap they were giving him was just beyond stupid and so out of character! :rolleyes:
When Drake is given something good he can act the HELL out of it!!! :D

Ugh, that would really suck! Brady needs to straighten his own life out, and needs to apologize to both John and Marlena for ignoring their warnings.

Oh they mentioned getting married again but it wasn't on screen or mentioned on screen until they were breaking up. TomSell are good at that kind of thing apparently.

My reaction when I saw this thread was OH MY GOD.

I'm really excited to see John return. I agree however on at least two/three points already made.
1) There better be a GREAT explanation for John's ridiculous behavior with regard to Kristin.
2) Marlena better keep at least some of her backbone.
3) John better be groveling.
