:kiss: :love: My favorite storyline has always been John and Marlena affair, when they brought the old Roman back in 1991 they created the best triangle ever, because obviously Marlena still love Roman 2(John) you can tell that on the pier, and even though he was "WITH" Isabella John still loved Marlena, so Izzy was pregnant the old Roman came back then John and Marlena went on with their lives with other people, I believe the knew what they were doing even way back in 91 they let John be with Izzy, planned that she would die after a little while of some incurable disease, John would grieve, Marlena would comfort Roman would fume, Stella would throw Marlena in the Pit John would find her instead of Roman, they would share some their true feeling about Mexico (it was so hard to watch you walk away with him)....feelings would resurface...they would admit their love for each other weeks later on the pier.(The pit ended just before Christmas, then came the charm bracklet and the watch. Jennifer show and then the pier I figured it out a couple of days ago and from the time of the pier scene until the Titan Conference Room was only 6 weeks, making love on the plane happened 3 weeks after the pier, then came Belle and finally about February or March 1994 when they found out that Belle was their daughter. (John said on the plane that they were doing what they had wanted it do for weeks [which was make love, I think they wanted to do this since the pier in 91] but this all happened in about 13 or 14 months although their love had been inevitable since they saw each other on the pier in the fog 91.... but at that point they did not really share a child together, so DOOL'S wrote the affair storyline to give them a child together.....which truly bound them together for life and now all these years later they are still bound together....
So why did they not let Roman 1 and Marlena stay together, after all they were once a supercouple they just were not right for each other anymore(I think they gave it a good shot in 92)but by that time Drake and Deidre chemistry together was so magical, they could not keep them apart. Though they threw Kristen into the mix, the audience found her unacceptable and though when Josh Taylor came on board in 97 they tried to give Roman and Marlena another chance, we just could not biy them together anymore, then they tried John with another DOOL great Kristan Alfonso as Hope/Gina and we still could not stand the idea of John and Marlena being apart.Then came Alex North with Wayne Northrup again which played out as it should have....now we have Kristen again coming along and stirring things up but once again John and Marlena loyal fans will get behind a reconciliation which will include a great storyline about rebuilding trust between to people who have shared so much love and such a great history together and I believe we are just in the beginning stages of this storyline...but eventually once again we will see John and Marlena back together again Just the way it should be~:kiss: :love::kiss::love::kiss::love::kiss:
I think that it may take a little help from their daughter Belle but I firmly BELIEVE that this is a love that will last FOREVER:kiss: TO QUOTE JOHN VERY OWN WORDS, I KNOW I HEARD HIM SAYS THIS SOMEWHERE DOWN THE LINE though right now I do not remember what exact scene it was that he said them
