The death could also be one of the villains while John lies in yet another coma, as the actor recuperates from his injury.
OMG, another coma for Salem's undisputed coma king? Once John passes into the great beyond, he really ought to donate his remarkable, much-abused brain to medical science. That said, imagine the responses by friends, family, and the Salem public when reporters from the
Salem Spectator interview them.
Marlena: "We're very upbeat about John recovering. After all, we've been through this before. Once you've seen one coma, you've seen them all."
Brady: "My father is in another coma? Really? Is that a fact??"
Paul: "Dad's in a coma? Does this mean that I won't have to be a private eye anymore?"
Jeannie T.: "I'd like to say that I'm sorry about this, but I'm not. Now when anybody throws it in my face that I once put John Black in a coma, I can say: 'Who hasn't?'"
Salem Cat Lady: "Oh no. This means the end of Black Patch Investigations! Now who will find Mr. Whiskers the next time he gets lost?"
Sami: "Doodyhead John Black is in a coma?
What a shame.
That life-ruiner is getting just what he deserves!!! I won't be sending any get-well-quick cards and neither will my fine sons, Johnny, Gumby, Prickle, Pokey, and the Blockheads.
