Love that he's coming back! Hate that we have to wait 4 months to see him. Wish that Days could some how edit him in sooner. Would love to see him back in Salem for Christmas. Just hate that they tape so far in advance! |

I agree, and I understand why he didn't respond well to that part of the story, but at the end of the day he gets paid to act, regardless of whether or not he likes the material. He was just bad during that time and by the time he made his last appearance, I wasn't the least bit sad. Hoping to see some improvement in the new year! :) |

Very happy that the other half of my super couple is returning to Salem. Saying that, I do have a feeling John Black will only be in town for a short while. I think the writer's will "try" to redeem this character, but in the end all for not. Remembering on of my favorite couples from Another World, Micheal Hudson and Donna love Hudson, after trials and tribulations, they found their way back to each other, but the character Micheal died in a tragic accident, among his belongings was a diamond ring, he was going to asked Donna to be his wife again. Have a feeling My John Black is going to have a similar fate, which is going to make me sad! |

They did, or they wouldn't have been discussing divorce. They also mentioned it briefly. |

I want the story that this fan wrote on facebook. She wrote the reunion. Basically, Marlena says she still intends to divorce him, but he tries to prove her wrong. She agrees to therapy, and it's basically about them finding each other in finding themselves again. That's what should happen. |

THIS!!!!!!!!!!! I have enjoyed the original, snarky Marlena lately. That is the character Deidre portrayed for years before she got too mushy and lost her spunky personality. She was a formidable force in Salem in the 1980's, and even into the 1990's. Her character took a nose dive during Langan's regime and was utterly destroyed by the time Higley did her in. She lacked that luster we use to see in her character back in the day. With the REAL Roman, there would be fights and disagreements. Both of them were stubborn and bull headed, and it kept both of their characters sharp. As they say "Iron sharpens Iron". I want a John and Marlena reunion. There is no way in hell I'd be on any Roman wagon train now. I just want to see John actually be at HER mercy, and not a woman who needs to be rescued and is desperate for attention. That is just NOT Marlena, and the character we have seen lately IS Marlena, so that gives me hope. In the end, they should be together and I am THRILLED he is back!! I saw this post and I was just relieved. There is too much history and important moments that involve him on this show, and John and Marlena are probably daytime's last great super-couple. I threw Roman overboard the second they went at it on the Titan desk. I just want some angst, some anger from Marlena, John having to be quite due to knowledge he cannot divulge, and some smoldering and just down right all out anger driven dialogue you would expect from Marlena in this situation. Then, work toward a reconciliation. Give us some spunk and drama with this TomSell, and you may redeem yourselves to a degree with me, They are my favorite couple of all time, but an easy path would be detrimental to BOTH characters. Plus, it would forfeit a great storyline that a lot of us could actually enjoy. Reunite them slowly, and give us drama, dammit. , |

I say let the 2 Ds write their own version of John and Marlena storyline. I'm willing to bet my life savings that these 2 will do it way better than TomSell ever did or ever will. Enough said. |

It's about time! Because I'm greedy, I also want Bo, Jack and Steve back too. I miss all those guys! I hope the Jarlena reunion is good, but I won't hold my breathe with these crappy writers. |

I'm beyond :cheer: he's back, and I agree - I want a huge story with them working their way back together. I want arguments, sniping, blaming, throwing stuff (not at each other), hollering, agonizing, grovelling, frustrating, yelling, talking, communicating, forgiving, apologizing, soul-searching and THEN for them to start dating again before they get re-re-re(etc) married in a year or so. And the DHs should be given some say-so into the writing - they know their characters (clearly better than Tomlin). Hell, most viewers know the history of all the characters & storylines better than that hack :flipoff: . Next up? Matt Ashford!!! :rockon: |

Yes! I want fights! That was the worst thing about October through June, it was like: "Where are the fights?" They had one in the hospital, and then a mini one when she slapped him, and then nada. Marlena and John are both passionate characters, they always have been. Let them fight. As a fan, I LOVE when they fight. It was worse when they didn't bother, because truly, if someone doesn't wanna fight, then do they really even still care? John & Marlena have fought HARD through the years, with each other and FOR each other. It's in character for them to fight. They're not afraid to get physical (not abusive, but John is not beyond pulling Marlena to him to prove a point, and Marlena is not afraid to push him away if she's not done), and loud and to really say what they mean. Look at 1986, they were fighting while falling in love, and once they realized it, they continued to bicker and love at the same time. I want them to actually talk. I want Marlena to have a side, I want John to have a side, and I want them to talk about them. |

I'm so glad he is back. I too, want them to work at getting back together. For long term story, I wouldn't mind seeing them tackle a breast cancer storyline with them. I think that would really give Deidre some material to sink her teeth into and maybe get her that long overdue Emmy, and Drake too. This would be a great storyline for J&M of told correctly. Oh wait, we still have crappy writers, so they'd prolly kill marlena off with it, which is NOT what I want! I want her to be a survivor, and John to be right there fighting for and with her! |

I've thought about that kind of storyline for her. That want realistic storylines, well...that's realistic. It's something that Dee could really sink her teeth into and play top-notch. Even with crappy writing she still acts her ass off, but with fantastic writing, a good storyline and drama she would absolutely nail it. |
