I am the first to say I don't have the perfect scenario for John's death in my head. I think it would have had something to do with saving the world from Orpheus and killing Orpheus once and for all, but losing his own life in the effort. I am actually sad Orpheus is still alive and well doing dastardly deeds. I GET the saving Bo idea. I just am not sure I want to say, "Oh, yeah, John died in a meth lab. Some kid attacked him and he burned to death" I love all the actors coming back to pay tribute. It's lovely. I think it would have been smarter for Marlena, Kayla, etc to say this is grave for John-it's time to say goodbye. Not add in all the "he's doing great and on the road to recovery". I assume it's a nod to Drake about always fighting, but, man, if you didn't know Drake had passed the rug would be pulled out from under you next week as an audience member. -

Yeah, I don't think it was necessary to have a John body double in a hazmat suit scrabbling around on the floor with a dayplayer all to explain his death. They even have this crispy dude in a mask on a gurney. Nor would I personally have shown John wasting away in a hospital bed to die without the actor. John Black shouldn't go out like that. Even if his death isn't purely an offscreen event, you could still have woven him into a sweeps action event where John saves the day, mostly offscreen or seen in glimpses in the background without all the awkward talking to body doubles, voice clips, etc. Then he dies in an explosion or whatever and it's a blaze of glory, and no lingering in the hospital circling the drain. But I assume part of this was done so that the actors could say goodbye, and I can get behind that. I'm sure they'll all be great. Nor was it necessary to have some fake voice croak out 'go save Bo!' You could tell poor Stephen Nichols and Kristian were struggling enough as it is telling Crispy Fake John they know he'll be okay for the last time. The double was tacky enough in that situation! Not Hope going out in her Laura Bush ensemble to help save the day. Susan Seaforth Hayes has still got it, I don't care what anyone says. -

In the previews, Gio is shown talking to Sonny. Are we really going to have Gio decide the first person he needs to see and sort through this mess is Sonny???

Yes. I found it tacky too. I would have preferred John to die off screen as well. Although I do enjoy everyone getting a chance to say goodbye and then wander around the hospital giving 3 second life updates to one another lol. I don't doubt the actors are crying real tears. I honestly find it tackier that the show is dragging this part on and saying John's recovery is a miracle and he's doing so much better when we know the ending. That's just my opinion. I do see a lot of praise for the story.
