Meanwhile, Sonny & Will have every right to order Gabi around and tell her what to do and how to live her life because they are the Sainted Gays of Salem
Don't get smart you! B-)

Kristen really fell over the edge of madness and she aint coming back.
She did that ages ago.
The thing with Eric is that he was truly innocent. It's like she molested someone. At least John and Marlena hurt her badly in the 90s, because they loved each other. Eric was collateral damage and had never hurt a fly. That's what makes her seem so much worse this time around.
Sorry, I don't think John and Marlena loving each other was any excuse or justification for what she did back then. What kind of woman wants a man who she knows loves another woman? If she had an ounce of dignity she would have dumped John and moved on.
John and Marlena fell in love way before Kristen.

But people tend to skip over the fact that John DID love Kristen. She just wasn't the love of his life... Marlena was. Just like John DID love Isabella... (sorry I puked a little after saying that :x )... but again Isabella wasn't the love of his life... Marlena was!

I seem to remember Marlena actually pushing John to pursue Kristen even when everyone found out about Tony being Kristen's fiance.

John and Marlena may be soul mates or what-the-hell-ever, but that doesn't mean they never loved other people.

People like Kristen Blake and Rebecca Morrison :glare:

I have nothing to add -- DH, ED, EM, and GV were phenomenal. Eileen is a goddess and her monologue was amazing. I LOVED that Hope is the one who told Nicole she knew Nicole was innocent and it will be an interesting dimension that they seem to be playing the "Nicole's testimony is vital to proving Eric's innocence" angle.

Show is on fire. Woot woot!

Watching today's show made me realize I would rather have the Marlena, Eric, Brady, Nicole confronting Kristen scenes in two episodes rather than stretched out to 3/ 3 and a half. But I can't really complain about seeing Kristen on screen for a little bit longer.

So did Kristen accidentally text Eric instead of Brady? How did Eric know that Kristen would be there ?

I don't think so. How would Eric know where Brady proposed to Kristen? Unless Brady told him, of that I'm not sure lol.

I just find it humorous that some people think John could never have really loved anyone but Marlena. I mean come on we all know that Marlena loved other men in her lifetime.

As a John and Marlena fan, yes I believe they have never loved anyone else they way that they love each other. But to believe they have never "really loved" another person is just silly to me! :P

Kristen had deluded herself into thinking John really loved her (which he did, just not as much as he loved Marlena) and if she could just get Marlena out of the picture everything would be fine. For Kristen, it wasn't an issue of John not loving her, it was an issue of Marlena constantly sniffing around and trying to take what didn't belong to her.

Marlena acted like Kristen committed the ultimate sin by hiding the letter John wrote confessing his love to her, but really, what woman who's pregnant and engaged to be married is going to pass along love letters between her fiance and his ex? Marlena had no claim on John at that point, and it wasn't like Kristen was just some random fling. Kristen had every right to protect what was (at that point) rightfully hers. It wasn't until Marlena started gloating and threatening to run to John and take him away from her that Kristen really flew off the handle. That why she helped Stefano kidnap Marlena and hold her captive in Paris. She had to get her out of the picture somehow. Then came the miscarriage, something else she blamed Marlena for because it happened while they were in the tunnels looking for her, and she lost her mother in the same explosion. That's when she fully snapped... understandably so, I think.
I don't want to get into a huge debate about this here, but if you actually go back and watch the story, Kristen first felt threatened and realized john still loved Marlena back when John was almost executed. She manipulated Marlena into keeping her feelings for John to herself when John would try to tell Marlena how he felt. He didn't want to get back together with Kristen but Kristen pushed Marlena, using her guilt about the affair, ect, to push john away and back into Kristen's arms. It was way before Kristen was pregnant. Unlike your take on it, Marlena was never sniffing around and trying to take John away. It was the opposite. Kristen knew John loved Marlena more than her, yet she decided to try to get pregnant anyway. Btw, Marlena found the letter before she found out Kristen was pregnant. All of the things Kristen did, she did to herself. She lost the baby because of her own reckless behavior... John didn't want her to come to Paris because he knew it would be dangerous, but Kristen was too paranoid to not go and showed up there, and went chasing around in the tunnels because she chose to. So, again I go back to...what kind of woman wants a man who loves another woman MORE than you?

John and Marlena are soulmates, but both loved other people at one time, and I'm fine with that. I just don't like it when a rewrite occurs (ie Marlena was jealous of Isabella, courtesy of Tom Langan. Um, no she wasn't). At least they never chose anyone over each other, when given a choice.

That's why I no longer like Bo and Hope. Bo chose Billie and Carly over Hope, flat out. I could never forgive that, and I don't know how Hope has. To me that is a permanent black mark.

I don't know if you're talking about my post, but I never said he didn't love Kristen, in fact I said at one time he was obsessed with her. The one truth is that John has only been with other women when he couldn't have Marlena.

I think it's an accidental meeting. Brady will probably show up too.

Yes and no.

Its not like he said - well, I can't have Marlena. I'll have the runner-up!

Which is exactly how that statement comes off, regardless of intention. His relationships with these other women has value outside of his love for Marlena. They weren't placeholders. Yes, he couldn't have Marlena. But these women were attempts to move on without her, not attempts to replace her, or bide time until they could be together.

Yep. That's why it didn't bother me. It was circumstances, not choice or preference for someone else, that kept them apart.

Unlike Bo flatly choosing someone over Hope, knowing full well that Hope loved him. That's unforgivable.
