I think Deidre said all she needed to say with her comment about work environment a few weeks back.

And I wish I could've seen the show where Marlena was the core character... I missed that. I was watching Days Of Our Lives...

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Did you not watch Days of our Lives in the 90s? Deidre Hall and Marlena were a big part of DAYS in the 80s, but in the 90s the show centered around Marlena. This is when Marlena became the top character of the show, joining others like Erica (AMC), Viki (OLTL), Laura (GH) and Reva (GL). When you think of DAYS, you automatically think of Deidre Hall and Marlena.

If you were watching Days of our Lives, then you were watching Marlena.

In the 90s, yes. But recently? She's still the one everyone connects with when they hear DAYS, but that doesn't mean he focused on her. He was just another Langan.

I know. I never said when Reilly focused on her, but Reilly did focus on her. Marlena was Reilly's favorite character and since he's been the longest head writer of any other, she's been made the forefront character of DAYS.

MORE BO AND BILLIE BONDING!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!

Bollie makes me have explosions in my pants.

Ugh…they have been known to cause explosive diarrhea...you should really stop watching, or consult your doctor.

GO LUMI!!!!

Maybe the rumours about John rescuing an imposter Marlena are true and the real one is still being held captive.

That would make sense since Marlena has been acting funny but I don't think they are going to go that way again with Marlena.

LOL! I miss me some Nubia in my life.

Yeah Marlena was JER's darling during his first run and that was why his second run shocked me. He moved her back to the forefront after her being nothing more then a supporting character under Langan and Higley (B&C had her front burner but were demoted just as Marlena's story began to heat up) but as soon as she hit the island everything went south. She just kept going MIA like Matt Ashford and then we finally got her back in Salem and she goes front burner with amnesia/Alex for awhile but even that story took so many breaks where it wasn't focused on enough to even invest in it especially when Bope/Zach took center stage. Then of course we had to this summer and finally she is getting the material she deserves. I still am in shock that JER completely moved her backburner for that long of a period after the SSK. That just didn't fit with JER. He loved the character and Deidre praised him all the time for the material he was giving her, especially during the SSk story. I don't know what happened but it still amazes me that it happened.
