I interviewed Eric Martsolf and Drake Hogsteyn at day of days and they both have a good tease of what is coming...

Eric said Brady finds out he has no ties to dimera or Brady families and he finds out something about johns mother.

Drake said his first scenes are with Brady, then he sees hope because he has something for her (I assume related to Bo?) and that things don't go smooth with marlena and she even tells him "don't call me doc"

so they are retconning the retcon?? How many times has John's history being changed

so they are retconning the retcon?? How many times has John's history being changed

This is one retcon I would welcome. I hated the whole Santo/Colleen garbage and John being their son.

"Drake was a little nervous on his first day back on set, but thankfully Deidre served as the calming presence he needed. “They worked us first when I came back because even though it’s only been awhile, there’s always trepidation coming back...."

This speaks volumes about his talent and confidence as an actor. This is scheduled as episode 3 of his return. The first two are with EM and KA. Hasn't he worked with them a lot over the years? I just don't get the love for this guy. Thank goodness for YouTube, so I can avoid nearly all his scenes.... And why on earth are they changing John's backstory again? Really? DAYS has done such a great job in being far more grounded in recent season, this just sounds like a mess.

+1

Yeah, I am 100% ok with them going here again and fixing this mess. Esp cuz it sounds more focused on Brady than John, at least at the start.

I hope Daniel is Maggie's is next.

Thank God they are fixing John's history. They should've left him as an Alamain anyway.

He actually hasn't worked all that much with EM, compared to some of his other costars.

Almost all of his departures from the show were messy, so I can see why he is anxious.

I still think Hogestyn would be an asset to the show if he and the show knew who he was supposed to be playing and how to play it. I just don't know if they ever will.

It's not weird really that he filmed with hall first. Perhaps they had more scenes than he had with the others, or she was working that day and others were not. Days doesn't film in sequence.
