Thanks for letting us know about that. All this time, I've been thinking they were just too lazy to create a simple, temporary set for an office. That clearly ain't the case; it's the never-ending budget crisis. The "business stories" about all these zillion different companies can't be told effectively in a restaurant, so they probably need to re-think the type of stories they're telling. -
I would have preferred it happened off screen as well. The excitement his family had about him coming back makes it that much sadder and tragic. I don't really need to see a family say goodbye to not-John. I won't even go on my Orpheus rant who's beef is actually with Roman and not John. -

I don't like it, but… Roman originally died falling off a cliff, while fighting Stefano. That's completely beyond the limits of today's production, but I think the Orpheus tangent paid homage to that idea. And, as we've discussed, it would be difficult to determine who John's ultimate mortal enemy would be, that is still alive. It is arguably not Orpheus, whose been more of a pain to Marlena. I object to it not happening off-screen. I can think of a dozen ways that Marlena could be watching a live stream, and we see it from her POV. Or, Shane has to tell the family that he died in the line of service. Or, Andrew has to tell the family that John died saving him, and he feels guilty. What I don't like is the tacky optics of watching not-John in danger, and presumedly watching people say goodbye to not-John. From the establishing shots, to the costuming, to this casting choice, it appears that DAYS has more problems with the visuals than the dialogue. All things being equal, that's not a terrible place to be. To @carolineg's point, I believe John would've at least texted his wife that he was back in Salem and home soon. -
We will agree to disagree on this. He would go see Marlena first, explain he has to help Bo, and then go meet Steve, Shawn, Hope, etc. I know that realistically isn't possible, but John would never keep Marlena hanging like that IMO. She's always been the most important person to him. There were also MULTIPLE people working on the Bo situation. John could have taken 1/2 hour to see Marlena especially when she was obviously so worried about him.

I disagree. I think John would do the right thing and help Bo first if Bo's life were in danger, and that his family would love him for being true to those ideals. To me, that's just who John is. -
His father, Sir William McMahon, served as the 20th Prime Minister of Australia from 1971 to 1972

Yes. I am not capable of telling you what my perfect ending would be for John, but I think it would involve being a hero and taking out Orpheus or even a now alive Stefano or something. But then they would win. Idk, it just an impossible circumstance for the writers. There is no way the John we know would just immediately go help Bo before going to see his family. I had a similar feeling when John was killed off in a "random" car accident years ago, but that obviously wasn't permanent.

When I double-checked with the publicist last night about this, she immediately got Jamey to issue the correction that he posted less than 20 minutes after I contacted her. Drake did not do any new voiceover work for this storyline. Any Drake stuff you hear is flashback audio.
