Doesn't Roman call her Doc? Like...hasn't he always or am I on crack?
Clearly, DH thinks Roman is forgettable, too.

:shrug: on the article. I'm burned out on jarlena reunions, and there's no way that's not how this is going to end.

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.
Exactly! I don't want my memories of John and Marlena to end with what we saw last spring. I never saw John so out of character! It was a deliberate move by the writers to mock everything I ever had seen my tv screen for the last 25+ years.

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.
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 ;)
It wouldn't be my first option, but YES, I would!!!

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 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.
Yes and thank GOD it was! That's what made it so GOOD :D

I adore Mar, but John with his everlasting head-tilt and eye-squint do NOT drive story anymore.

RE: DH and GW supposedly not getting along, I think it is utterly false.

I cannot think of a single reason why a twenty-something year old man wouldn't get along with a sixty-year old woman.

I don't get all the complaints about JT. Sure, he's different than WN, but he's fine. It's not his fault WN left, and the DAYS brass liked him so much they asked him back for a role. I've always liked JT as Roman. I especially loved him and LK and Kate & Roman (Kaman).

Is he Emmy-worthy, well, no. But I don't know, overall I like him as this big, slightly silly, teddy-bear. I don't mind the blue collarness of him also. I don't need for every character to be this some sort of a superhero type. Firstly there's not enough room for many superheroes on the show, and secondly I don't usually like men who are arrogant as those that think of themselves as heroes often do.

I have never seen WN as Roman, and I still can't stand JT. He annoyed me the minute Kristen wheeled him in. 90% of the time I can't understand what he saying. If I hadn't seen teeth in his mouth I would swear he spoke with his gums.

TPTB have really sucked away my enthusiasm for my favorite couple J&M, because I honestly am completely indifferent anymore! :shrug:

That being said, there can be no possible way that Deidre doesn't know "where they are going" with the storyline since they shoot like 6 months ahead. However I know they can't talk about sl's so what else is she supposed to say? lol

Why yes he does.

@ around the 1 minute mark if you need to fast forward.
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.
As much as I would rather Wayne play Roman instead of JT, I don't want WN back, not after playing Alex. Just too much history destroyed. They need to just kill of JT's version and be done with the character for good. Corday can give him a job doing something behind the scenes, just get him off my screen.

Exactly. She wants us to keep watching. Telling me that she and Drake have no scenes together in that many months is going to get me to tune out pretty fast. I've hung in there just out of boredom and holding out for John's return.

The fact that they aren't working together is very telling.

John and Marlena have been a supercouple for 30 years and are practically ready to collect their social security checks, and be on medicare. Do they think the audience will accept a breakup at this age or with their level of popularity? That's like the audience being willing to accept Doug&Julie with others. Its not going to happen.

You should go back and read the soap mag interviews with JT and Corday at the time and the arrogance in their comments claiming fans wouldn't mind the recast because they wouldn't remember JT playing Chris Kositchek anyway, which was utter bullshit.

A few years ago she pretty much said so outright ;) Not in a rude way, but reading between the lines you saw what she was saying. Someone probably has that article - she said something about how sometimes she feels unattached or something. And that she missed WN. Which is funny because she didn't mind Drake playing Roman AT ALL.

That's the thing. Roman is supposed to be a superhero type and he was very arrogant. The version of Roman that's been onscreen since Kristen brought him back is nothing like actual Roman.


Two years ago when Deidre was at that women's event in Nashville, she did a q&a. Someone always asks her who the best kisser is. She only ever mentions Wayne and Drake. So that year someone asked her about Josh, and she said she's never kissed him. Lol. She totally has many times.

My issue with nuRoman is that nobody seems to care enough to integrate him into the show. He's actually my first Roman, so I'm not pining for WN or DH's versions, but JT-Roman has almost no chemistry with any of the people who are supposed to be his relatives, or his ex. Roman is rarely in scenes where you'd expect him to be and when he is on, it seems more like he's some random old guy who stumbled onto the set and started mumbling at everyone, not an important, beloved part of the canvas. Basically, the show and JT dropped the ball. Chris Kositchek wasn't like this, so at some point JT was capable of connecting with other actors.
