No. Not you. It's more or less SC and the rabid fanbasers. I just think this is no big deal and I didn't want to go on a long rant about things like this.

I don't see how this means less J&M. If Corday heard the cries about Bope and we are seeing them more, then he heard the cries about J&M. Once again, alot of overreaction without watching the show first and then seeing. I know Corday lies and the show burns fans alot but the show has it's back against the wall so I tend to think that may push them to actually start doing at least some of the things the fans want.

You know what, it's conversation. If none ever speculated, the world would be a boring place. The world is full of "what ifs?" What makes SON any different? As for Corday hearing the BOPE fanbase crying out and acting on it. They are in no way comparable to John and Marlena. Bo and Hope owned 2006. Their fans cried over a mere 3 month absence. J&M have been sh*t on for the past, hell, 10 years? I think the last time we saw an actual J&M story was in 97 with Kristen. Afterwards, we had the Roman storyline, which turned into a John and Hope plotline and that continued on until 2002 when it was revealed that John was not the father of Zack. Then, John and Marlena were used to prop Tony's return and nothing happened. And then 2003-2006, don't even get me started on. The couple was written off in summer of 2006 to only be brought back with such hope of a bright future, only to be killed once again. How can fans not overreact and worry?

Well, let's see...J&J's house has not been seen since September so maybe they already sold it. Same goes for The Cheatin Heart, which hasn't been shown in ages, and the Lockhart house, which has been gone since March. Maybe IWTBASS wanted the set and gave Corday an offer and he took it because he needed the money. This doesn't meant J&M are going to be limited in any capacity. I think until we learn something concrete all we have is speculation and overreaction and the show has seen enough of that in 2007 to last a lifetime IMO.

I <3 U.

Huh. It's certainly not a venomous post. I only stated my opinion which is that I don't like John and Marlena and I never will so it's nice when they're not on my screen so if they disappeared forever it would be fine with me.

I hate John and Marlena haters. Seriously, if I were Kate Roberts and you were a fish...

Well, you can be optimistic all you want, LoL. Thus far, the show has given me no reason to be... and so I'm not. I've been burned too many times to be optimistic.

Oh, if worse really came to worse and the show was forced to get rid of the majority of their sets, I'd understand.

Under these circumstances, though? Selling the decent sets and the characters homes while continually adding newbies every single day and paying them big bucks to add NOTHING to the show? It's stupid. All familiarity is going out the window, IMO.

A "true fan" of the show doesn't sit back and go along with every foolish decision... they want it to be the best it can be. Personally, my idea of Days at its best doesn't involve newbies shoved down my throat on miniature AMC-esque sets.

Well, how many of those newbies are left now? Most of them are gone except one and sure we are getting two more but that is hardly overruning a show with newbies.

They are only set and other then a few select people and rabid fanbases, no one is making it a big deal. To me, a "true fan" is one that sticks by through it all and wants better for the show but also says loyal. It doesn't mean you are accepting everything. It just means it's your show and you are standing by your show. You can disagree with decisions but, at the end of the day, it's still Days of our Lives and your show. Period.

This issue is being made to sound like Days is getting rid of all the characters' homes and sending them to a new location or something. Changing times and climates call for new things. Days has budget issues and if the cast isn't being cut for returns, they have to cut somewhere and I would rather get rid of a damn set then an actor I love.

I hate John and Marlena haters. Seriously, if I were Kate Roberts and you were a fish...

Um..you're saying you want to GUT a person because they don't like John and Marlena?

Wow...just...wow.

Um..you're saying you want to GUT a person because they don't like John and Marlena?

Wow...just...wow.

You missed the joke. Remember Stefano's will reading? Kate had a craving for kippers while she was pregnant.

Sorry, but my fellow Days fans can never be happy about anything it seems. You want vets to be used. They are finally and will continue to be. John and Marlena are going to be ON AGAIN. Are you NOT realizing that? Focus on THAT. It's good news! For the love of everything daytime, get off of the set thing. If selling sets to maintain the budget, and in turn, keep the show on the air and cost efficient, has to happen. LET IT. Stop beating a dead horse.

To you, I'm beating a dead horse. To me, I'm raising valid arguments and suspicions.

How do you know that John and Marlena are going to be "ON AGAIN?" How do you know they're going to get a story? You don't, I don't... nobody does. Corday's a liar, and until I see the story with my very own eyes, I don't believe it. Selling their home only cements my suspicions, thus far.

As far as the budget goes, I'd prefer they maintain it by utilizing the cast they have rather than adding newbies by the busload.

Thank you, Drew!

Funny, I saw Kate on a fish trawler when she first reappeared gutting a fish.

THAT is not funny.

It's sick.

So, I'm reading the SoapCity board at the moment, and I'm stunned to find post after post after post with people reacting to "the news."

As I read further, I realize they're talking about John and Marlena's penthouse. What about it, I say?! So, I keep reading... and it turns out that Corday has gotten rid of John & Marlena's penthouse!

Apparently, at an event on Saturday, Drake Hogestyn revealed to fans that J&M no longer have a home because the show -- get this -- SOLD IT! The Penthouse is gone.

Why did she sell it?

Well, it appears as though Ken Corday sold the set to "I Wanna Be A Soapstar."

[!@#$%^&*] YOU CORDAY! RIGHT UP THE ASS!

I hate that man. With the passion of a thousand fiery sons. Son of a bitch!

Holy hell! I feel your pain! At first when I saw this thread, I thought it was just a post about the Penthouse Grille, but THE penthouse?!! This is ridiculous! Granted, Marlena's bedroom is PAINFULLY dated, but it's still a classic "Days" set that had staying power. So what, they get rid of the penthouse and keep lame, middle-class crap like the Brady residence? God, that house is FUGLY -- compared to the penthouse, of course. It's just the stupidest business decision. Especially when you're telling me that they sold a piece of a daytime HISTORY for a cheap, crappy reality TV show with very little dignity, if any. God, that man IS a son of a bitch!

To you, I'm beating a dead horse. To me, I'm raising valid arguments and suspicions.

I don't. But you're going on and on about how horrible the show is for getting rid of the set and jumping to the worst possible conclusion isn't helping.

Wow...you know something, I like the Penthouse for the memories it contains but I really don't care for it. We have hardly seen it in recent years anyway since J&M have been off and on.

However, I realize this will likely cause another stupid ruckus by the rabid fanbases, just like the comforter incident did, so Days should prepare for some backlash. These petty things always blow up into something worse and they really shouldn't do stuff like this, even if it's for budget reasons and so on.

I hope fans look on the bright side and are just happy J&M are in spoilers. Plus, Marlena selling it isn't a shock. She thought John was gone and the memories may have been too hard for her so she sold it. It works for the character IMO. It's no big deal but I guess he comes the firestorm.

Wow, I'm so going to disagree with you. This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo not like hte comforter "incident." This is HUGE, as Kenny indicated. I mean, a SUPERCOUPLE, from what we know, has NO house. No home. No place to live. That's just crazy and unheard of! (And I don't watch GL so I don't know if it is heard of, but even if is, I sure as hell don't WANT it to be true!)

I'm pretty sure he was being sarcastic.

Not sure, though, LoL. After all, it is Rion.

LOL I'm not telling which one of you is right!
