I am going to be slammed for this but Marlena and Roman make a lot of sense. They were married, they have a lot to bind them and they're both unattached. Why not?
It's not like Marlena doesn't have a legitimate reason to be mad at John. He treated her like crap, then hightailed to Europe. Didn't contact her and even acknowledge her existence. Then came back to Salem without letting her know. She had to find out the Salem way, running into him. Why should she give him the time of the day?
I understand why she's mad at him and is rejecting him, but it's not like her to not deal with things or not wanting to even talk to him. As for faux, been there done that ad nauseum, and she has always chosen John. Who's to say that she won't again?
Honestly, I don't get why so many people have been so up in arms about this one little spoiler as though it's the last thing that will ever happen in Marlena's history with the show. First of all, it likely won't play out exactly the way that most have been speculating, and even if it does, that still won't mean that Marlena and Roman are suddenly the endgame. It's like some people automatically start fearfully anticipating Marlena and Roman's wedding ceremony* every time they see their names mentioned together in a spoiler, when, in reality, this could just be a necessary step in a series of steps that will ultimately lead Marlena back to John. And whether anyone likes Josh Taylor or not, the fact of the matter is that Roman is in Salem and is a character Marlena has a history with. It's not reasonable to expect the writers to just ignore that history because the actor who is playing the character isn't a fan favorite.
At least wait until this plays out before condemning it. :shrug:
*(Of course, there was that spoiler about a surprise wedding....
:run:
The preceding comment was made in jest. I don't really believe that Marlena and Roman are going to get married, as evidenced in my earlier argument. But if people are jumping to conclusions already, we might as well add that spoiler to the mix.)

I am so stoked about the Will spoiler. I hope it leads to something exciting and positive. Spoiler: click to toggle Maybe Will is going to be offered as a journalist and he might be forced to report on his family. What other job offer can create a conflict with his family? You know what could be really cool? If Victor offered Sonny a job at the Kiriakis empire, and he would turn it down because he doesn't want to be a part of it, only to then have Victor offer to it Will instead, and he would want to take it, and of course Sonny wouldn't agree with it. Something like that could be fun, although I would much rather see Sonny being ruthless than Will. To me it suits better that way lol.

I think Roman and Marlena would make sense as a couple, on paper. The spoiler about her sudden jealousy doesn't make sense, and they wouldn't make sense on screen though, because Roman doesn't click with the rest of the show.

I understand why she's mad at him and is rejecting him, but it's not like her to not deal with things or not wanting to even talk to him. As for faux, been there done that ad nauseum, and she has always chosen John. He is the love of her life--which she has said over and over and over. Roman chose to divorce her back when she still wanted him, because he knew John was always going to be in her heart and he didn't want to share it. It make NO sense to me. Just because they can get together doesn't mean they should.
Did she try to talk to him (when he told her he still had feeling for Kristen)? And before you know it, he left town. I think she's still hurt. He humiliated her to "save" his idiot son. And look what that did for him. I don't want them getting back together (Roman and Marlena). I just want them to have a night passion or pitty sex or whatever. I just hate that there are all these over 40-women without a partner who live like monks. What message is that sending to the audience?
Then let her meet someone new and have John be jealous. RoMar already had pity sex on Melaswen. Like I said, been there DONE THAT. It's long dead and buried. So, because it's been visited once before, it should never be visited again?
By that logic, pairing John and Marlena has been done before, too. And since they're over at this point, it's time to move on. Been there, done that.
Right?

If that's being up in arms, so what? Believe me I KNOW that Josh Taylor is on the show and is never ever leaving. I've had to deal with it for years and years and years. It never gets any easier.

These writers write their version of Marlena,the real Marlena would talk it out.John and Marlena have been to hell and back,they made it through Stefano,the devil,Andre,a lot worse than what they went thru in 2013,they can make it thru all that,but not make it thru Kritter and her psychoness,the writers hate John and Marlena and their fans and I don't know why.
Wayne's version of Roman I could understand,but Josh,god no,he and Dee have no chemistry at all,a paint brush and a wall have more chemistry.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepad nauseum, and she has always chosen John. He is the love of her life--which she has said over and over and over. Roman chose to divorce her back when she still wanted him, because he knew John was always going to be in her heart and he didn't want to share it. It make NO sense to me. Just because they can get together doesn't mean they should.
Did she try to talk to him (when he told her he still had feeling for Kristen)? And before you know it, he left town. I think she's still hurt. He humiliated her to "save" his idiot son.

So, because it's been visited once before, it should never be visited again? By that logic, pairing John and Marlena has been done before, too. And since they're over at this point, it's time to move on. Been there, done that. Right? Not when Marlena has chosen John over faux over and over. Wouldn't it make faux look really stupid to jump into that again? If Marlena had dumped John over and over it would be a different story and a good analogy.
The divorce isn't final, so no they're not over. Roman did divorce Marlena and she gave him the choice to stay with her and he walked away.

I kinda wish "Days" would do some serious on-screen chemistry testing with their characters (one female, 2-3 males or vice versa), not just bring someone for someone. It would be less predictable and more interesting to watch and viewers can keep guessing what's the "endgame".
Yeah, when Jack "died" the last time they chemistry tested Jennifer and Brady for just a couple of scenes, but it went no where and they hooked her back up with Dr. Dayglo for the 1000th time.
I don't think it was intended as a chem-test because at that time their plans were to pair Brady with Kristen. I do. They were both single at the time and oddly enough - NOT RELATED. Even if their plan was to hook him back up with Kristen, they could still test the fans reactions and file it away for later. I mean look what happened with EJabby. They may NEVER have planned for that coupling to take off, but it did and has a huge fanbase now. I think all this "taking photos for the hospital" with Eric is a way for them to test what people think of Jeneric. Just my two cents.

I'd probably be okay with them revisiting Roman and Marlena if it was WN and not JT playing Roman. Heck, I'd be okay if the part of Roman was played by a Sesame Street puppet at this point rather than JT!

Everyone has their tipping points about this show, and this happens to be one of mine. If that's being up in arms, so what? That's your prerogative, of course, but it's still one little spoiler -- one that might not play out the way that you are assuming and fearing that it will. Marlena might just have one of those "I wish I were going on dates, too" moments -- it might not be about Roman at all. She might have told herself that she doesn't need or care about having that kind of love in her life again, and hearing that Roman is finally putting himself out there again after all of this time might make her realize that she has been lying to herself about that. As I said, it could be a positive step in the road to reconciliation between her and John -- which is what you want, right? So isn't it healthier to take the spoilers with a grain of salt and wait to see how things play out on-screen instead of getting out the pitchforks prematurely? Your blood pressure would thank you. ;)
(And just to be clear, I'm really not trying to criticize you for your reaction -- it's more about trying to make you feel better and realize that there's really no reason to worry yet -- and there likely never will be a reason to worry.)

OMG!!!! Haiden - I'm hoping its a kiss!!!
How the hell is Marlena supposed to be jealous over Roman?? When was the last time they had a scene together....When was the last time she saw him as anything other than a friend?
A surprise wedding makes me think its Kate and Stefano...but then I could kinda see it being Brady and Teresa.

But I also wouldn't be opposed to it if it weren't JT's version of Roman.

Then let her meet someone new and have John be jealous. RoMar already had pity sex on Melaswen. Like I said, been there DONE THAT. It's long dead and buried. Couldn't agree more! Marlena and faux.....just doesn't make any sense. She has not been attracted to him in eons and to top it all off, they just do not have any romantic chemistry what so ever. Not to mention, this out of the blue jealousy doesn't ring true, even if it is a way to get John and Marlena back together.....there are so many better ways. John wants Brady to help him bring Kristen down, I say find some way for John and Marlena to work together to bring K down and let their natural attraction and love for each other come from that, or anything else, just leave Roman out of their picture. I have no problem pairing him up with someone....just not Marlena, forpetssake. ;)

Everyone has their tipping points about this show, and this happens to be one of mine. If that's being up in arms, so what?
That's your prerogative, of course, but it's still one little spoiler -- one that might not play out the way that you are assuming and fearing that it will. Marlena might just have one of those "I wish I were going on dates, too" moments -- it might not be about Roman at all. She might have told herself that she doesn't need or care about having that kind of love in her life again, and hearing that Roman is finally putting himself out there again after all of this time might make her realize that she has been lying to herself about that. As I said, it could be a positive step in the road to reconciliation between her and John -- which is what you want, right? So isn't it healthier to take the spoilers with a grain of salt and wait to see how things play out on-screen instead of getting out the pitchforks prematurely? Your blood pressure would thank you. ;) (And just to be clear, I'm really not trying to criticize you for your reaction -- it's more about trying to make you feel better and realize that there's really no reason to worry yet -- and there likely never will be a reason to worry.) Can I ask how long you've been watching this show? I appreciate your positivity, but when you've been punched in the stomach so many times over the years by this show you tend to not want to subject yourself to the crap they keep serving, so when you see a spoiler that promises more crap you have a hard time finding the rose under the pile of shit.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep ad nauseumis in Salem and is a character Marlena has a history with. It's not reasonable to expect the writers to just ignore that history because the actor who is playing the character isn't a fan favorite. At least wait until this plays out before condemning it. :shrug: *(Of course, there was that spoiler about a surprise wedding.... :run:The preceding comment was made in jest. I don't really believe that Marlena and Roman are going to get married, as evidenced in my earlier argument. But if people are jumping to conclusions already, we might as well add that spoiler to the mix.)

I really don't think you have anything to worry about. They're not going to give Roman and Marlena a story. They're not going to give Roman a story. THey're not going to give Marlena a story.
Of course I thought the same thing about Ejabby, lol.

Of course you can. I started watching during Marlena's possession storyline in 1995. I've watched every episode since then, so nearly twenty years.

Eileen and Josh would be interesting. Josh is the only actor who can make her interesting.

Of course I thought the same thing about Ejabby, lol. LOL, I never underestimate this show's desire to disappoint and twist the knife. As for this spoiler turning into an actual story I don't think it will, but I could see them just doing a quickie RoMar reunion (say, one or Half an episode) and then we're stuck with them as a "family" for the rest of this show's existence.

Not to mention, this out of the blue jealousy doesn't ring true, even if it is a way to get John and Marlena back together.....there are so many better ways. John wants Brady to help him bring Kristen down, I say find some way for John and Marlena to work together to bring K down and let their natural attraction and love for each other come from that, or anything else, just leave Roman out of their picture. I have no problem pairing him up with someone....just not Marlena, forpetssake. ;) I love this idea! It's insane that John is not trying to win back Marlena, and insane that Marlena would feel any thing like jealousy regarding faux.
