John and Marlena Wave Goodbye to Salem.

Friday, January 23 2009
John and Marlena marry and say goodbye to Salem, Nicole cons a nun, and Chloe and Daniel have sex again.


At the hospital, a crying Marlena tells John how much she loves him and remembers past times they’ve kissed. John wakes up and tells her, “I remember…. I remember all of it, Doc. Especially you!” John struggles to tell her he loves her when Kayla walks in just in time to hear the good news. She’s upset and tells Marlena, "John's central nervous system has had a catastrophic episode. If he stays here even one more day, his chances of recovery are slim." Marlena refuses to lose John again, so Kayla recommends they move John to a facility in Lugarno, Switzerland for treatment. Marlena runs to get Brady and John calls him Brady and declares he remembers him. “I always loved you,” he tells Brady, as tears stream down his face.



Kate arrives at the cabin, wondering why Lucas cancelled the trip to Vancouver. Lucas says Sami called, causing an outcry of grief from Kate, who doesn’t want him to have anything to do with Sami. Lucas says Chloe hasn’t answered her cell phone. He assumes she went to see Daniel. Kate’s confused as to why he’d know, but Lucas tells her about Daniel’s visit. Kate finds this strange and not any of Daniel’s business. Lucas agrees and Kate decides to go there and find out what’s up, herself.



Chloe breaks off the kiss at Daniel’s place and tries to leave, but is drawn back to Daniel, and they start kissing again. They have sex and Daniel tells Chloe he loves her, repeatedly. She tells him she knows this is more than just physical. Daniel doesn’t feel shame for his feelings, but does feel shame in deceiving. He’d like to tell everyone the truth.



EJ walks into the mansion calling for Nicole, who has left. He finds Stefano and asks if he has seen Nicole. He hasn’t seen her. EJ hopes she didn’t go to Chicago and asks where Stefano is off to. He’s going to Rome, Italy on business to save their fortune. He’ll be back before Nicole is due, next week, then stops to take a call. “Dear God,” he exclaims, in shock. Stefano says his contact at the hospital says John Black was attacked and poisoned and there’s a chance he may not recover. He rages and EJ tells him to stay here. He’ll go to Europe and Stefano can see John.



Sami prays at the convent as Nicole arrives. She starts yelling at Sami, calling her names. Nicole rants that she was supposed to give EJ a child and wants Sami to know the pain she felt. She takes a statue of the Virgin Mary and hits Sami over the head. Nicole wakes up from a daydream and hides, when Sister Theresa comes. Sami worries about Rafe to the sister and says she has been thinking and praying and has decided she needs Theresa to take the baby until she can figure something else out. Nicole listens, curiously. Sister Theresa asks where she plans on giving birth to her child. Sami wants to give birth nearby, where nobody will know her.



Marlena goes to John, who panics, when he realizes he can’t feel his arms and legs.


Out in the lobby, Roman and Brady are surprised when Stefano shows up.


John finds out he can’t walk and tells Marlena to walk out the door and never look back. He’s no good to her. Marlena shares the information about the treatment facility in Switzerland. They need to go now. John’s astonished that she’d leave with him but she reminds him he’s her life. She’ll work hard to help him. John tells her before they do any of this, he’d like to marry her – again, before they leave! Marlena does too, and they decide to call the priest. They kiss.

Marlena tells the others in the lounge the good news. Stefano tells her he had nothing to do with this but Marlena doesn’t care what he says. He can’t hurt them again.

Marlena goes into John’s room, where Father Jansen starts the wedding, in front of Roman, Kayla and Brady. Father Jansen presides and Stefano salutes John, before they start. Marlena says her vows and tells him she knew they’d be together again. John thinks she’s the only reason he’s there. They profess their love in their vows and kiss, passionately.



Nicole gets an appointment with Sister Theresa at the convent. EJ calls and overreacts, demanding to know where she is. She’s out for a walk, she lies, casually and EJ explains he’s got to leave town on business. Nicole asks if he’ll miss the birth but he definitely won’t. He hears Sister Theresa blessing Nicole and asks where she is. Nicole says a nun just passed her. She understands about the business trip. EJ will stay in touch he says. They hang up and Sister Theresa asks why she lied when she was on the phone. Nicole replies, "I'm not lying. I'm rearranging the facts. And I need your help!"



Chloe dresses and Daniel apologizes for things happening this way. Chloe finds him kind and caring. It’s one of the reasons she loves him, she says. He asks her to answer a knock at the door while he takes a call. Chloe reluctantly goes to the door. Outside, we see Kate, waiting impatiently.

Lucas leaves a message for Chloe and meanwhile, Chloe opens the door to Kate, who is just leaving, saying this will make him feel more uncomfortable.

EJ leaves a note for Nicole and leaves town.



Back at the convent, Nicole tells Theresa that her name is Mary, like their blessed mother. She heard the convent helps mothers in need and tells the sister she is Catholic and pregnant and if her family ever found out, it would be bad. She asks Sister Theresa to help her with her child and the sister is amazed that there’s yet another girl there in the same predicament.

Nearby, Sami prays, and then hears somebody approach. She calls out. “Rafe!”



Next on The Days Of Our Lives:

Nicole asks, "Mia, can I call you back? I'm in the middle of something." Mia can’t. She’s in labor.

Sami doubles over. She thinks she’s having her baby.

Steve asks Bo, "What did you see?" Bo says, "It felt like death."

The killer yells at an unconscious Rafe. "Wake up! You hear me? You can't die!"

It is so sad to see Marlena and John leave. But every article I have read says they are off the show, for now. That means they could come back someday.

Lucas broke Chloe's heart by not going to Vancouver with her. He decided to stay in Salem just in case Sami needs him. That's what set Chloe off and made her spill Sami's pregnancy to Nicole. It seems Lucas still cares for Sami.

I'm not sure we should always blame the writers for the s/l's. Ken Corday has control over the show and makes the decisions about what we see and who stays or goes. The s/l's have been pretty good the last year. There are lots of things happening to keep the show interesting. We just need more romance and couples who stay together.

I would love to see Bo and Hope become the super couple on the show like Marlena and John used to be. They represent the Bradys and the Hortons. Maybe we could see Shawn and Belle come back someday. And it's time for Chelsea to have a hot romance. Maybe with Rafe if he doesn't get himself killed.

What is with this writer. Now Nicole wants sami's baby. That will be stupid through. Sami might as well keep her baby if Nicole will just still it. If Nicole gets her baby, the baby will still be raised by the dimeras. Wake up writer.

Marlena is leaving before her daughter comes back home. That's a little stupid. What happen about her caring for sami.

Lucas and his mom are both stupid. Chloe needs to stop taking her clothes off. Allie does not need her in her life.

Goodbye John and Marlena. You will be missed. I hate how they are leaving, but atleast John remembers.

So know Daniel loves Chloe and Chloe loves Daniel...does she not love Lucas anymore? This writing is crap. They boinked like twice and they are in love. Whatever!

I saw the whole baby switch thing comming with EJ/Sami/Nicole. All I ask is that it doesn't take years for the truth to come out like it did for Will/Lucas/Austin. I love a good who's the Mommy!!

Happy Soaps

I absolutely HATE the John/Marlena ending. They deserved better than that. WE deserved better than that. Enough said..there's nothing we can do to change it. It's over.:(

Now...I wonder who it is that is approaching Sami at the convent? My guess is that it's Lucas. I think Lucas knows that there is something going on between Chloe and Dan.

I really hope Rafe doesn't die. The spoilers say that he and the killer stab each other, but the killer is found and taken to the hospital by Kayla. It does not say what happens to Rafe. I hope he is found by Chelsea and Max! LOL

bghwme-ITA about John/Marlena. I had waited so long for John to get his memory back and I got to see it for one day, how disappointing. I wanted to see romance with them.

Really hoping the writers get it together soon. I like surprising twists, not predictable storylines. I want my old Days back!!!!

I cannot believe these writers. WHY IN THE HECK WOULD THEY GET RID OF THE BEST OF DOOLS (John & Marlena)??? Why would they have them leave while Marlena's daughter is in hiding?? That doesn't make much sense either.

I hope this baby switch is over soon! This has been done too many times on this show. To be totally honest. I hope their ratings go waaayyyy down! I have a feeling most people will just read the blogs and not watch anymore.

One more thing, if Mia has her baby on Tuesday and it's a girl and Sami has her's on Wednesday and it's a boy. How is Mia not going to know that's not her baby?? I'm sure she's going to see it or they'll tell her on that day. Then she'll find out Nicole has a baby and it's a boy??? WTH!!! That doesn't make sense! Then when it all comes out she's going to be Nicoles long lost daughter.

Here's my theory of what's going to happen; Sami baby will get sick and need a transplant or something (as always). Of course they'll do all this testing and see EJ is the father but Nicole dna doesn't match. Then Mia's baby that Sami has something happens to it same thing. In the mist of all this Brady know Nicole didn't have a baby and maybe he'll go ahead and tell the truth... I'm sure at some point Brady & Nicole will discuss this fiasco and she'll tell him she has Sami's baby. Such a MESS and pretty much everybody know what will happen. If this isn't the scenario I'm sure it'll be something like this.

Writers come on!!!

I hope that they bring Marlena and John back! It was so great seeing John and Brady together. Brady has better s/l with them than with Nicole/EJ fiasco.

I want to see Sami and Rafe together and raise her baby! And I am so upset to see John and Marlena go. It looks like they will be going to Switzerland and see Will, Austin, and Carrie. At least they'll have company. Of course, maybe they will start DOOL in Switzerland now, and then Shawn, Belle, and their little girl will go visit them too. Yes, in my mind, it's believable, but still upsetting.
