John is completely unjustified in finding any fault with Marlena. That is insane, IMO. Just another lame-assed way for the writers to try to add to the rift between them and put them on equal ground. Too bad it's completely bogus and makes no sense. :shrug: this needs to be about John redeeming himself and explaining his ridiculous idea to save his grown adult son. |

I hope they didn't bring john back just to ruin him further, because it isn't going to work in his favor if he starts going at Marlena about the church fiasco. And if he and Brady get together to bash Marlena, they can both go to hell, and I'll be D O N E. |

As long as Hope doesn't get together with John :'( I don't think that will happen, if they keep Hope in character (she knows john belongs with Marlena). Let her play matchmaker for them B-) |

The writing was ridiculous. I don't think you can explain it. It made no sense that he admitted that in order to do what he did with Kritter that he must have had SOME feelings for her. Um, NO, you don't have feelings for someone that you are trying to destroy, or for someone you never mentioned once since she disappeared. It is true that at one time he loved the woman, but only because he couldn't have Marlena. Perhaps TomSell need to brush up on their history. |

Love Drake. :wub: Ok,why is it ok for John to come up with a crazy plan to prove to Brady that Kritter was a selfish bitch,but it's not ok for Marlena,I know Marlena and Victors plan was more public,but I don't think your fiancée sleeping with your father would of been any less embaressing,sounds like John will be a little hypocritical,had his plan worked,Brady probably would of gone into a downward spiral just like he is gonna. |

I wish the writers would let The DH's consult with the writers to help them understand the foundation if J&M's relationship. Those two know these character's better than anyone (except perhaps their fans, LOL) |

The only "reasonable" issue I can see John having with Marlena is her telling him he's not a part of this and to go away. Just because he went away, doesn't mean he doesn't care. (I'm not saying he wasn't an idiot and an a**hole before he left. He was the reigning king.) However, telling him to go away, to butt out if he's seen the error of his ways and come home to start making amends…. Then how does that make things better? That's basically telling him to keep being and idiot and an a**hole. If they build John's issues with Marlena around that, I can maybe see a certain validity. If they build it around John's disapproval of Marlena's actions leading up to his exodus and during his absence, well then it's going to be a much tougher sale. One that quite frankly, I don't believe this writing staff or Drake is up to spinning successfully. |

Marlena did what she did without all the facts,Victor manipulated her,he knew her hatred of Kristen,but he also knew if she knew Eric was in that video she would never show it to people. John,on the other hand,he knew exactly what he was doing. If the writers just brought him back to screw up my couple further,I will be beyond angry. Edited by Snowing Fan, Nov 11 2013, 12:00 PM.

And he wasn’t really the sharpest knife in the drawer. He could have come up with other ways probably. Amen to that!!! I hope they write John admitting that and that his plan was very wrong-headed. As an actor it was very challenging because it went against character traits that I had developed. It goes back to John and the one thing that he would never do is hurt her or destroy her. That’s where I had a hard time and had to play the Biblical sense of blood is thicker than water. I guess it was just as hard for him to play as it was for me to watch. Major failure on the writers part. MAJOR fail :flipoff: and they need to fix it! |

Bottom line, John's storyline needs to be kissing Marlena's ass for the next 5 years and verbally fixing the bullshit history he spewed the last year. |

Amen to this!!! It would be great if he confronted Victor for what he did, and defends Marlena. I would love John and Victor to rekindle their distaste for each other! |

I completely agree! But I'm not sure if that's exactly what he said. He said something more along the line of... He wouldn't have been able to go through with having sex with Kristen if there wasn't some part of him that still had feelings for her. Like the old feelings he had for her, and he did love her at one time. I'd even say he was obsessed with her. But he was only involved with her at all because he couldn't be with Marlena. Marlena is the love if his life. But he has loved other women, and they could explain it that he had to call up those feelings he once had for Kristen in order to do what he did. I don't think it has to mean that those feelings for Kristen were/are current or trump anything he has for Marlena. It could just be feeling he once had and had to conjure up in order to go through with it, or he wouldn't have been able to do it, and he obviously felt he had no other choice, which was stupid, and he needs to admit it was wrong. |

John,your plan or Marlena's plan were always gonna have the same result,Brady being hurt,Brady being collateral damage. |

Yeah, like that's what anyone wants to spend the rest of there life with. Why would you even want John to come back if he's going to spend the rest of his days as a pathetic, little *****-whipped, a**kisser? That's not a man, that's a lap dog. If that's the vision, then forget it. Let him return, make one last noble, heroic signature John Black saves the day sacrifice and then kill him off as the man we know and love. Don't force us to watch him slowly turned into a eunuch who cowers to Marlena's every whim while holding her purse in his hands. Edited by GatesRhiannon, Nov 11 2013, 12:29 PM.

Wanna bet Brady doesn't care that so many people, especially John and Marlena, sacrificed so much to help him? Bet he simply blames them all for ruining his life. :rolleyes: |

I honestly think she was just using hyperbole. That's how I took it anyway. Because i want John to express very strongly how sorry he was for the way he treated her. Remember how cold he was? Wouldn't even talk to her. Barely gave her a passing glance--just bowed out of their life together without a word. He sacrificed her for his son. A grown man. He does need to make amends. Even if she rejects him, he needs to vow to never stop trying. Edited by Rosebud, Nov 11 2013, 12:43 PM.

Brady needs to admit he's been a dumbass for over a year. |
