Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Found this on Facebook: Here's the latest comings and goings casting news from Days of Our Lives. On the January 7 episode of Days, John left Marlena and moved into a hotel. On the show's January 18 episode, Drake Hogestyn and his character actually leave Salem, and they'll be off the canvas for a few weeks. What does that mean for Hogestyn's future with the soap? Well, the actor recently tried to rally his fans' support on twitter, tweeting, "If you want to see more of John in 2013...NOW is the time for you're voices to be heard."

Members JackPeyton Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 yeah, john is off screen and drake has been trying to rally support. Not sure what, if anything, it means. I wouldnt miss him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted January 9, 2013 Administrator Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm not worried. It wouldn't make any sense to bring Kristen back, then have her sleep with Brady, then write out John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JackPeyton Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Toups, buddy, old pal... this is a soap opera, more specific Days. Sense? As if that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 This is actually totally something they'd do at Days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 honestly tho, john was been next to nothing in this story. the story is marlena vs kristen. john has been such a waste of space since they killed him off and brought him back in like 2008 cuz they felt bad for Drake. Marlena would be far better off without him and the fued with Kristen and affair with Brady could easily go on without him. John, Roman and Abe play the same character really.

Members Cat Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Maybe it is contract negotiation time and they are trying to hedge their bets by writing him out for a little while? Or maybe it has to do with his guarantee. Either way, I'd like to see him back. Yes, he has been somewhat... neutered since 2008 (doesn't he seem a little neutered to you guys? I remember when John definied virile masculinity on Days!). But at the same time, he is Marlena's true wuv, her catnip, her superhero. If Marlena is around, it would make sense John is, too. Plus I'd rather watch him than Fauxman or Abe. Bo's gone too, so they need one "good guy" pilar of the community around. Plus I look forward to the day when they finally admit that John is Stefano's son -- if only to see EJ get all pissy and jealous about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Id say it is likely his guarantee, much like what happened with Reckell a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 Exactly. I'm not at all shocked over this. It seems soaps nowadays like to just send characters away to deal with anything and then bring them back (Anna/Duke haven't been on GH in a month) and throw them right back into things. It's probably an episode guarantee thing. He and Dee have been used a lot. I doubt he's out but from what he's said he's likely not working much. If he's out towards the end of this month for a little while this was filmed in what, October? And he tweeted what, in late/late December around New Years? So that would be filming March. Doesn't sound great but lines up with John not being around for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sindacco Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 These episodes were shot three and a half months ago. We already know he's been working after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 I don't think he is leaving, but if he did it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted January 9, 2013 Members Share Posted January 9, 2013 nobodys contesting that, the issue is hes pleading with fans to let the show they want to see john + this write out + hardly being used when he is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
