This is really wrong. However you feel about the character or actor or the potential drama to come out of this, they could've at least given Drake and Dee a few weeks of substantial material before they killed him off and made the death about other people. On principle it's a crappy thing to do to someone who's been on the show for twenty years, just sandwich his death between a year on the backburner and someone else's storyline. Regardless of who it's about; just remember that if TPTB do it once they'll do it again.

Let's see, by the preview, it looked as soon as Marlena rushed to John, she called Sami. Why the hell isn't she calling for some type of paramedics? Also, Belle is John's biological daughter, you'd think that would have given her some type of priority over Sami. Also, the whole preview was essentially a showcase FOR SAMI - literally everything revolved around her. I guess they don't call the show Days of Sami's Life for nothing...

1) Everything else is about Sami, John and Marlena are a friggin' supercouple, let us have A moment. JUST ONE. One moment that's not about Sami, Belle or anyone else. Just one. But no, he dies getting Belle's car keys and Marlena calls Sami.

2) As a viewer, I friggin' need a break from the witch. She's on 5 days a week, every week, the show revolves around her.

3) Sami didn't give a crap about John for a decade, tried to ruin his marriage, went rampant crazy on him, kept him hooked on drugs and tried to put him in jail.

We don't see everything. Maybe she did call the parmedics first and from other spoilers it seems Belle is already there and maybe she called the paramedics. This of course will make Sami think she has no other choice and will have to marry EJ to stop the vendetta.

Because the paramedics are already called on top of the fact that they are at a clinic.

As for J&M not having any buildup to this, isn't that better? It blindsides the general fan and it's more gripping if you see it coming. Sure, they could've given them a love scenes or something but I have no problem with there being no buildup to the accident. It's realistic that it just happens out of the blue. Things like that happen all the time in real life and I can appreciate that.

We also have no idea it will all revolve around Sami but, in a way, it should. I think we all knew this would stem from the Dimera drama, which involves Sami. As long as Marlena grieves and gets airtime I could care less if Sami drives alot of the story. She is his stepdaughter anyway.

It should be about Marlena but it also should be about Sami and Belle and all those affected by John.

If you're talking about the fan who doesn't read spoilers, then no it doesn't make it better. You can have build-up without giving things away (and if you can't you don't deserve to write). Even if they had let John do half of what they'd been letting Bo do, that'dve been better. Would going about helping the police even for a week give away a random hit and run? I don't see it. Instead you have John Black, who has, whatever you think of him personally, still been a hero on this show for 20 years, going out in a blip.

I would not recommend Backburner Hell + Blink-and-you-miss-it Exit as good soap writing. No disrespect for your opinion intended, but I think that's reaching.

      Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.

      I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

      Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...

      And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

      Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.

      In fiction there has become an expectation by some that every Black character should represent excellence and perfection. It's not like we are talking about a Tyler Perry show where none of the characters are happy and everyone hates each other with a passion.

      And on rewatch, I could've done without the unsubtle praising Matt like he was the only one who ever accepted Van as she was...but TPTB and their agendas.  It was totally in character for Vanessa to shut down emotionally until she was alone. While she could be volatile, both she and Henry believed in keeping emotions private.  Thank God it's still Bryan Buffinton in the role for both Henry's and HB's funerals. It just wouldn't have been the same with Ryan Brown, who couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. Roll My Eyes.
