Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Marlena knew that Stefano was behind John's "death" and his brainwashing into PawnJohn and took matters into her own hands to prevent him from hurting anyone else. Hope believed that Stefano was behind Bo's kidnapping and death and confronted him. She was about to walk away from him but he kept taunting her over and over again and she snapped and shot him. I just don't see such a huge difference in intent, if not results. Marlena certainly intended that Stefano would be in that state for the rest of his life. He wasn't technically dead, but I'm not sure that was all that much better.

And Hope has expressed regret as well. Not as much as I would have liked to have seen, but it's been there. I just can't see how Stefano choosing not to press charges makes Marlena's conduct okay, but Hope's unacceptable. Personally, I don't have that big of a problem with either action in regards to Stefano. I just don't think there is such a huge difference between the two.

Now, Hope's decision to frame Andre is a whole other thing (as is Rafe's involvement in the cover-up and the framing). But as between Hope and Marlena and their taking vengeance into their own hands, I just can't see a huge difference there.
If Roman/the Salem PD had found out what Marlena did and covered her crime, I'd have had problems with it. I may have hated it, but I don't expect the police to let friends family commit crimes.

Also Hope was a cop. That makes a difference to me. Not for losing it and shooting Stefano but for covering it up.

Back when Kim was arrested for killing Emma, RoJohn did all he could for her but he didn't break the law. When Steve strolled in to help Kayla and took the evidence, I loved it. I would have been upset if RoJohn had taken the evidence or hadn't made Steve put it back.

I don't mind stretching the law as far as you legally can, but I feel once you lose the integrity of the police with outright just ignoring what happened AND framing another person for the crime, the crooked cops should be kicked out of office.
Well, it's not like Roman hasn't tried to cover for Marlena before. When EJ was shot and Roman knew Marlena had been at the church and was a suspect, he basically covered for her. I think he even got rid of the gun or something like that.

I don't care if Paul, Rafe, jigsaw, whoever is there, that first moment J&M see and touch each other will be amazing. The chemistry takes over regardless of the setting. And I really love how badly Marlena will fight to find him.

So Roman has a long history of being crooked. He should have been kicked off the force long ago. Seems like we need a brand new Salem PD.

I actually wanted Roman kicked off for listening to Marlena and going after Brady like he did when Brady saved Belle from the train. It also took me quite a while to like Marlena again too, though I've always viewed that as more an AU universe period anyway. :)

I think the biggest difference in Marlena and Hope's stories (other than the fact that Marlena managed to get the right guy) is the build up they did. One actually existed for Marlena. They referenced her paying at the time but I think it ended up just being dropped entirely. She paid in an eye for an eye kind of way (soap justice), but I think the legal stuff never took off. It got mentioned because we saw Stefano tell Roman and Abe about it via video in one of the flashbacks a couple of weeks ago. Of course another difference was that there were multiple scenes with people telling her how they understood what she did but that it was also wrong (Tony specifically). That might seem small but acknowledgement on a soap is huge when it comes to stomaching a story.

It seems Rafe finds his mother in the labyrinth. I'd really have preferred Steve finding the Ava room there instead. Tie the crazies together and I'd always rather Steve than Rafe.

So, after the kidnapping, it's going to be all about Paul. Why am I not surprised. :rolleyes:
Given the lack of Paul/CS for months, I doubt that they are going to focus on him now. :shrug: :(

LOL yep. The best chance for him is when Sonny gets back.

Plus I'm almost positive that day is the sweet scenes for J&M Deidre posted the pic of and talked about. I can't wait.

They bothered to put a spoiler and photo about him in a mag.

So? That doesn't mean squat. It still wouldn't be all about Paul. He's at the hospital because John's his father and was kidnapped and injured because of that relationship. This storyline's focus is on John. It will probably end up with John saying nice things to and about Marlena and the family that they've built together. :shrug:

Exactly. And I'm sure John doesn't forget Marlena exists because Paul is there either

SID typically just rewords and adds their spin to whatever is already out.

I just got SID.
There are no new spoilers.
Someone sent me a little article, they have a picture of Paul in a hospital bed, John is standing in front of him with a bandage on his wrist. John is looking down like he feels guilty.

The article says Paul may regret building a relationship with John, now that it got him kidnapped and possibly brainwashed. It also says that Marlena it out of her mind with worry and that she launches her rescue plan. And Rafe might become a hero because of the discovery he makes in Yo Ling's labyrinth.
Of course Rafe is going to be the hero of this story. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

He is no damned hero. He covered up a brutal murder. Hes a fucking joke.

I'll say it again... My dislike of Paul being in this story has nothing to do with John and Marlena as a couple. The story (and spoilers) should be about how being kidnapped affects John, not everyone else. I haven't been waiting months for John's past to be revealed so that I can watch Paul's reaction to it.

Oh so roman chooses to disregard the confession. Sounds like he knows it's true but is protecting Joey.

Thank you JCP.

Has Yo Ling already been contaminating the town's water supply?

Why are so many people thinking it is o.k. to get away with murder?

Yeah. The articles have been kind of offbase for this story, though, so who knows how it'll turn out. :popcorn:

I kind of like the beat of Kayla thinking that Steve could handle prison better than Joey. It's not quite throwing him to the wolves since he made that decision himself, but at least it's interesting! But it's kind of funny that their son being a murderer is being used to keep S&K in the same orbit... you'd think it would be a huge source of conflict.

Also Steve seems to be out of the John story after Friday, more or less?
