Yeah but remember her Twitter chat when someone asked how she liked her new storyline (this was fall of 2012) she said "Much better than last time!" So she must have remembered what a loser Kristen was written to be back then.
And then she went on in other interviews to describe what she remembered, and it was Susan Susan Susan and underdeveloped Kristen.

"much better than last time" doesn't even imply Kristen. That's quite the jump you made to assuming she remembers Kristen as a loser...especially when it's just as likely (more likely if you know about her other interviews) that she was thinking of Susan.
She may not remember any of the storylines well but she has to remember how she felt when playing the role(s) on the show.
It's probably like in any other job - you might not remember what projects you had 15 years ago but you will remember how you liked/disliked working there. :)

I like J&M too but my goodness. Y'all make me not want to. This hasn't even aired. If it airs and those things get lost in the shuffle, I'll be complaining too. Loudly. But this is one spoiler of Paul being bewildered. There's no implication in any of this about whether or not relationships make sense at all or about if characters are being used as props.

It's a very large mistake to assume this has anything to do with a fanbase. Unless you've just never paid attention to what I like. ;)
Sorry I didn't know if you liked John & Marlena or not. I noticed John wasn't one of your 20 characters you wanted on the show. My apologies if "we all" made you not like them or him. :shrug:

And we are allowed to react to spoilers right? Also my only reaction to the spoiler was that it was unfortunate to me that Paul would be there. That's because I don't like the guy. All of my other reservations on how this might play out are based on the handling of 99% of stories that have already aired where characters were, in fact, used as props.. And frankly, even if I rave about or complain about something that has already aired, I'm told I should have viewed it differently. So what difference does it really make LOL

Regarding your last point, then why did u inject "heaven forbid it not just be about John & Marlena" ? I'm seriously just curious about this lol
LOL. He was supposed to be 4th. I guess I cut and pasted poorly. I wondered why I had 19 right before I posted. Oh well. He didn't need my help anyway. But seriously. I post all day every day, and you went by that one list to decide what you think I like and don't like. I'm not unclear on this subject.

If you ever reacted to anything else, it would probably not seem like a thing. ;)

And I did it because I wanted to. As always, you're not the only person involved in the conversation. And even so, you don't represent an entire fanbase. I know you for whatever reason think this board is unkind or whatever to J&M fans...but look around. Many of the people disagreeing with your points ARE J&M fans. It's not about a ship or a fanbase.
Ok! Whatever you say. I know you are a moderator so I won't question it. 😉

Right. But she was playing multiple roles. She's the only one that really knows, but based on what she has said, she remembers that time period more for Susan rather than Kristen.

The past 7 years have been really bad for Jarlena fans. Deidre and Drake were fired and off the show for 2 and half years. Then they returned and got 1 year of decent writing with MarDar, then 3 years of terrible writing with TomSell. So it's understandable there's a lot of frustration and a tendancy to always assume the worst will happen when it comes to Jarlena.

But... I feel like this is a good time for the couple and if you can't enjoy it because you always expect the worst or focus on little details that you don't like, I don't know how you will ever be satisfied.
Agreed. I've really enjoyed them since the writing change. They act like themselves, they focus on each other and the show has remembered how deep their love is. I'm going to enjoy this story as much as I can.

That's what we were told during the couples list from the summer, lol.
I can't even comprehend someone feeling that way.

Like I said, I'm hoping for some good John & Marlena scenes. When they've gotten them, I've said so. And I agree wholeheartedly with your first paragraph!

I have, and I still don't see that "many" of the people disagreeing with my posts are J&M fans, but thanks!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that if you only watch one couple's scenes, whether that's J&M, Ericole, Chabby, whoever...no relationships are really going to make sense.

Whether people feel this way or not, everyone is welcome to post here. But we're not a shipper board and when all you want to talk about is one ship, it's not going to go over well. There are places for that. This isn't one of them. This isn't new and it's not something reserved for certain groups. It's a battle we've been fighting for years. And yet, we're still not a shipper board.

Now, if you want to talk about the spoilers, by all means talk about the spoilers.

I guess that depends on how you define fans. J&M aren't my favorite couple, but they are #s 3 and 4 on my list for the ideal cast. I would consider myself a fan of the characters/couple in that I think they are vital to the show and want them to have a good story that I can enjoy.

And this story sounds like it could be pretty great. It could be crap, but nothing in the spoilers seems to indicate that J&M are nothing but props, or that Paul's participation makes it about him anymore than Hope, Rafe, or Steve being involved makes it about them.

Just about everyone involved in this thread since you've posted are John and Marlena fans.

Friday's episode seems insanely jam packed. There doesn't seem like there's going to be any break in action. I hope that turns out to be a good thing.

I'd like to think it's because so much is going on. But a part of me just thinks somebody can't count. :)

I really can't believe the amount of conversation about one spoiler line for Paul being bewildered. There's been like 7 spoilers about J&M and this kidnapping (and probably more coming) so far somehow all were talking about is Paul literally existing lol
I can't either. My lonely opinion about Paul and his place in this "storyline" and in John and Marlena's lives seems to have struck an interesting conversation, shall we say.

Between the wedding and potentially the first look at jigsaw to end Friday's show, I can't wait.

LOL funny. And the thing is I think they're still leaving a ton unspoiled. Like this past Friday we had no does Ciara would tell Claire about the rape. The rape itself was unspoiled. Kayla getting hit on the head. We wouldn't even know John's father was going to be on Friday if the casting wasn't released.
