DAYS: Supercouple Returns

[alexisfan07]

Love them or hate them, I think they are a necessary part of the canvas

[Cheap21]

Not really. The show did just fine without them. Axxing them was one of the ballsiest moves, yet proved that they werent necessary to the canvas

[dragonflies]

The show did fine without them for AWHILE, now ratings are in the crapper, looks like what was once working, no longer is...........Stuff like that only works for so long before viewers want actual fan favs back

[darraholic]

The show has sucked since 2006 so I fail to see how the show did better without them lol.

Oh god Deidre Hall is back to orgasm her way through every scene...I do like Drake..And I hope they have him interacting with Ari and Tamara again...I missed him saying Nikki K, sadly she's not a Kiriakis anymore...

I do wonder though with John returning will it actually be acknowledged that Brady is part DiMera....

[AllMyDaysatGH]

AWESOME! So excited & happy with this news. So many great characters are coming back, can't wait for September DAYS!

[DRW50]

They aren't just coming back for Sami's story are they?

If it were me I would bring in a recast Eric and also bring back Carrie and make this a family story.

Honestly I wish they could figure out a way to have them split up and both move on with their lives. I just don't really think Marlena/John as a couple worked - it was more interesting when they were split up by outside forces.

The problem is, John and Marlena's story as a couple is over. You can't do any more "Will they or won't they?" stories with these two. We've played other love interests, brainwashing, fake deaths, possession, more brainwashing, amnesia... over and over. You can't use them in that role anymore. I feel like they're iconic Days characters, but I haven't missed them on the show because I was so tired of watching the writers twist themselves inside out to keep J&M driving story. If they can be used in supporting roles, as parts of Sami and Brady's stories, and as friends to Bo and Hope, and as professionals, then by all means -- use them! They're wonderful, familiar faces who have been a big part of Salem history. I just can't buy anymore "Will John and Marlena reunite?" stories, especially with Dee gasping her way through them like some sort of 20-year-old ingenue.

[DaytimeFan]

BINGO. If they could be written as you describe I would be all for their return. But I just know that the writers won't be able to resist an age inappropriate "heroic romance". UGH.

[Soapsuds]

Where is Alvin?

Heavy breathing acting?

[DRW50]

Is there any way DAYS would ever bring them back as being split up and actually keep them split up, or would there be too much fan outcry?

[Michael]

^ I guess they could, but I don't see what the point of it would be. The characters' story arcs have been, ultimately, their great love story, and it just seems bizarre to have these two on canvas and not play them with one another. After all they've been through, it'd seem so frivolous to have them broken up for real.

[Cheap21]

Drake Hogestyn was one of the worst veteran actors to ever grace daytime and Deidre Hall is highly overrated. They and their stories were so played out. IA with the notion that they as a supercouple is over. The only interest I see in having Marlena back is to be a mother to Sami. I see no other potential from her unless they go the typical, obivious Dimera route with these two and again, its beyond played out. Personally Id rather they be utilized as Kayla has. They dont have to live in Salem but they still are just a phone call away when their family needs them. Their time as leads is over

[DRW50]

I guess I don't see any story for them together and I don't really enjoy them together - all the heavy breathing. I think that Marlena as a character was more interesting when she was on her own for a while after John "died", and I think RoboJohn had some interesting story with the DiMeras.

I know it won't happen but back when Roark first appeared as Mike I thought he and Marlena had good chemistry together. Then it was all dropped. I know that wouldn't happen now because of Mike/Carrie but it stuck with me.

[Michael]

I think I could like them just fine together as sort of the "old guard." Like I said above, use them as Sami and Brady's parents. Use Marlena as a (competent) psychiatrist. Play John in the cop stories. Have them support each other and their friends. Just don't insist on forcing these *~*~great epic romance~*~* tales down our throats when the stakes are totally gone because of the characters' long histories. Hell, if they can bring Kristen back for a big mystery/suspense story involving J&M, great. But the stakes have to be way different than "Will they or won't they reunite?" at this point.
