Glad she yells at him.

She doesn't know what they're doing with the couple? Yet Days films so many months ahead.

Is she saying that because from the viewer's point of view, we won't know what the show intends?

Or is she saying that because .. she, the actress still doesn't know?

Ok.


And from John we can then expect 10 minutes of sustained SQUINTING - PEERING - MORE SQUINTING - LIP PURSING - HEAD TILT - FADE TO BLACK.

Out of the ten thousand re falling in love stories John and Marlena has had, my favorite in recent years was probably RoboJarlena.It really made me love them as couple, after getting a bit tired of them. And because I can't have nice things, they got fired.

We have to wait til March before we get their first scene together? And I know DH tends to put a positive spin on things so the fact that she has no idea yet what the writers have planned is very telling and rotten. Don't know why I bother.

I hope I can like John again. For that to happen he better be ice-cold and hateful towards Kristen when she returns. No bonding moments between them. No jealousy over Brady&Kristen like what they attempted last year to portray. He better despise and abhor Kristen until the day he dies.

And yeah I don't like that she doesn't "know" where the pairing is going. That's usually code for "it's not good news".

If the writers brought John back just to break up J&M and throw John into a storyline with Kristen, it's going to fail. I can guarantee you the audience isn't going to go for John being anything buy cold, hateful, and repulsed by Kristen's mere existence.

After the last debacle from the writers and Drake, I have some serious trepidations about this reunion story. I appreciate that Hall put so much thought into that first moment, and I hope her counterpart and the writers take just as much care with the rest of the tale.

I'm expecting the worst. John comes back, Marlena dumps him, and he is devastated and turns to Kristen, the woman who tried to kill Marlena twice, who kidnapped her, attempted to destroy the lives of his two sons, and who once raped him HERSELF for comfort.

Yeah, I'm sure thats going to fly with the audience who made it clear that they hated the way John was written in regards to Kristen last year when he was giving her the benefit of the doubt, was bonding with her in the Horton cabin, was reminiscing with her about the positive aspects of their past, and was acting jealous and hurt over Brady&Kristen being together. If thats where they are going I can already tell you that its going to be a failure of a storyline

Even if John felt hurt by Marlena's rejection there's no way in hell they can sell me John willingly being with Kristen or starting to care about her emotionally.

Thanks for posting. I am not expecting much of anything from this for two reasons. It seems like Deirdre has been working with every character, except John for the last several months (from her FB pics) and secondly, Days is really not interested in them as a couple anymore. Proof of that is John's leaving Marlena had barely registered with anyone in Salem (even Marlena LOL!). None of her kids seem too concerned about how there mother is doing etc. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so.

I'm glad he's back - I just hope the writers don't fuck this up again. I want John & Marlena working their way back together. Talking, longing looks, fantasies, memories, arguments, sniping, angst - - all of it and more - as they work on re-building what they once had. Let Kritter provide angst for them indirectly - via Eric & Nicole and EJ and Sami as well as give Brady another pisspoor excuse to be an unsympathetic dick.

The light at the end of the tunnel for me is that the writers want to wrap up EJami and get WilSon hitched before they delve into a Jarlena reunion - I'm fine with all of that - but if they think I'm gonna settle for a permanent end to Jarlena, they're flippin cray. The show needs at least one stable married couple - much like Tom and Alice were back in the day of Mickey/Maggie, Robin/Mike, Kim/Shane, etc. I know some viewers want Doug & Julie - I'd settle for them too - but the show NEEDS a foundation/core couple for the other pairings to look to for guidance, advice, etc, and John & Marlena fit that bill perfectly after all they've been through.

I hope John's broken neck has healed completely since his last appearance. He was as wooden as they come.

And I used to love J&M.

Drake tends to do better, IMO, after he's had a break. I thought was true when he returned in 2011, 2008, and even when he came back from that weird summer off in 2006. So maybe he'll be better this time, too.

so happy to have john back. Met him in Vancouver was a really nice guy and was really excited to be back on the show from the last time they were fired together and brought back.

I think Drake wasn't feeling the storyline at all. No way do I believe that John would cheat on Marlena with Kristen. I don't care why he went that route. It was ridiculous and horribly written. I'm not a big J&M fan but I respected them as a supercouple and they totally made changed the dynamic of their story.
