Did I miss John & Nat getting married?

Did I miss John & Nat getting married?

Nope, it must have happened sometime offscreen after the final show. They made love in the final week, but I don't think it was totally clear in the last show if they were back together or not.

At first he's there to apprehend and bring home Todd Manning to stand trial for Victor's murder, but then Blair asks him to look after Starr and help see her through the loss of her baby and boyfriend.

I love how they use this as an excuse but then quickly say it's all about Sonny. John doesn't give a damn about anyone, he just loves to purse his lips, put his hands on his hips, and stare impassively at other men for some lame "feud."

Maybe he and Sonny used to go around banning shampoo and soap.

How were Cartini's "hands tied" exactly? Unless ABC FORCED them to write a non ending, then this is all on Cartini

PP did force them to write a non ending, if I recall correctly.

I'm actually excited about this and looking forward to it. And I am not a John fan.

Every time I read the word "Cartini" my skin crawls for some reason...

If you ever saw one John scene you'll know the gist. Staring into space, lip puckering, looking bored, and having a spark with a woman for about a half a second before she has a complete nervous breakdown over him.

LOL! Carl, I love your particular form of John hate. It's very droll and well-reasoned and I say that as a fan of Easton's.

The interviewer says that Natalie and John are married, Michael Easton doesn't say they are... I think it is a mistake on their part.

Like I said - I never liked John on OLTL, but this has me intrigued.

I just don't see a difference between this and a dozen stories Sonny has already had - it's not like ME and MB are these amazing untapped talents waiting for new inspiration. They know what they do and they do it again and again.

I actually didn't have a problem with John until the story where he happily tossed out Natalie and baby and hooked up with Kelly. The story was a disaster, in that he never showed any hint of regret and it took 50 different characters saying "You still love Natalie" to move the plot along. I hated it (not because of "Jolie" being apart, just because of the incredible misogny and inertia where months and months would pass before he batted a damn eyelash) and I have never liked John since. GH already has so many men who are comatose.

See I don't buy that PP forced them to do anything, they CHOSE to write the endings they did(that goes for the AMC ending with Nixon & Broderick

)

ME calls Natalie John's wife too

I read the article too quickly. WTH...

I think Cartini wrote the end of OLTL like they did because when they filmed the final show Nov 18th. They were under the impression OLTL would resume filming after Thanksgiving. The plan was for OLTL to end on ABC Jan 13th 2012 and start on PP's TOLN on Jan 16th 2012 with no break

But then Nov 23rd PP cancelled plans to continue OLTL
