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?
LOL - it's obvious they're not going to be done much with this time around.

But, the most important thing is that they will get back together again. If they're not written for, fine, just as long as they're back together and happy without any nonsense.

Frankly I don't know what people really expect. The mere fact that DH is back at all is very surprising and a treat for their fans.

Thank you, baby Jesus, our last supercouple lives.

Drake, don't monkey paw this, please. Give a shit about your performances. Please. I beg of you.
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.
I don't think J&M will have anything to do with Kristen's return, or vice versa. Sure, some small snarkiness between Kristen and Mar will of course happen, but nothing more than that.

Kristen has WAY too many other irons in the fire to have any time for J&M this time around. She will not be coming back because of them. They're just not important to her anymore.

Don't think there's any need for worry on that front.

I hope Drake "shows up" in his scenes.

I'm a J&M fan but I'm so over it. It doesn't seem like they're gonna try to redeem John. I'm just happy Kristen is coming back to potentially give Marlena something better to do.

WHY did the previous poster post a clip of Fauxman and Marlena making love? Some internal reflex of mine scrolled past that post. :OhMy:

So you would be fine with Kristen coming back and sitting around in the DiMansion living room knitting hats and mittens for little Johnny? As long as she's back and all ;)

I think you're right. And thank god. They weren't even much of a part of her last return, other than the show using her to destroy them. The entire story was from her POV and all about her. It was a disaster. Could have been really good.

I like the fact that DH does come back acting better after each 'holiday'. :) I read the reason is that he is taking acting lessons and working really hard on being the kind of actor that Days needs him to be. That being said, I kind of liked RoboJohn. Just a little. lol In any case, John and Marlena need to work on their relationship with each of them 100% committed to keeping outsiders out of it. Brady is a big boy and should be able to take care of himself. Same for Eric. Sami has been an adult for a long time and has proven time and again that she can handle herself w/o parental guidance. Maybe she doesn't do it the way we would, but she definitely doesn't need mommy and John taking care of her. I just hope Sami treats John with a little respect for a while. I hate her sniping all the time.

I don't really like the sound of this. I hated the way things ended between J&M, and if TPTB use Drake's return as an excuse to drive the final nail in the Jarlena coffin I swear there will be blood.

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.
You just scored my thoughts on the Drake subject. I was pretty pissed about his performances at the end when Deidre gave it all and he sat there just as wooden as a redwood. However, his character, John Black, just told Marlena, the very person who gave him a reason to live after Stefano destroyed him, that he still loves a woman that tried to destroy them both.

Drake didn't want to play that scene out of love for his character, respect for the many fans who love John & Marlena, and most of all because he is "Days" veteran that knows that ideology actually goes against the very history of this epic show. To think that John loves Kristen requires forgetting two decades of history and getting close to three decades of America loving a true to form Supercouple.

When it comes to this reunion, I do not read too much into interviews. Deidre did say they were setting it up perfect for a new love story if they wanted to do it. Dee is vague with fans lately and I expect very little, but we could be surprised. Who knows, it may not be an "A" story like it should, but a reunion is possible. I could easily see it as a side tag to Kristen's return. That this time around, Kristen coming to Salem draws John and Doc together instead of pushing them apart. It may not be the reason of the coming "Kristen" story, but I could easily see it as a part of the story. One thing Lorraine is good at is involving many plot points into one story arch. There may be one big outcome and fallout to a story, but there are many issues and points of concern that are settled and addressed in a Major STORY. I never got into "All My Children", but I have seen her work enough to notice that stories lately have many branches and side items of interest. That is the complex LB at work, with a Tomsell dash of camp. It's working for the show right now, and stories have layers again. Resolving John and Marlena could be a part of the May to November time period.

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.
Too bad the current writers cannot write for super couples. I wouldn't get my hopes up. TPTB don't care about core families or the history of the show..JMO

LOL!!!!!!

Watching Fauxman and Marlena have sex makes one wish they could lose the senses of sight and sound temporarily. I remember that week i which that scene aired caused VERY low ratings for the show considering the time it aired.

I know we can't have Wayne back as Roman because of Corday's friendship with Josh Taylor, but if Corday gave a damn, he would remove JT for a while, do what he had to do to get Wayne back, and re-introduce JT as Chris K. in a matter of six weeks or so. Two people have played the original Brady family member the right way; Wayne N. and Drake H. Roman is too important to the canvas to be played by an actor who is an awful fit.

It's 15 years later, and Josh still is not Roman. FACE IT CORDAY!!! You should wake up and fix this. Roman is the natural Brady family patriarch, and he just seems missing with Josh playing him.

If John and Marlena aren't the end game what's the point of Drake's return?! If it's to further destroy the best love story in soap history I'll pass.

There is one girl on twitter who has 7 followers who writes it every night. I'm guessing she also posts here. Did you see what Deidre wrote on her own FB and the pictures she posted? Looks like they're getting along wonderfully.
