For the past four days now that John and Marlena have returned, I have found them extremely awkward to watch. I do not know if it’s a combo of script, acting and direction, but I am not getting what they are trying to get across. They both look very unsettled in their roles, and all we’re seeing is John milling kind of aimlessly about and Marlena sitting dourly like a mouse in a corner.
Okay, I get that John is facing some kind of legal trouble, but really, is this the way to re-introduce their longtime Super Couple?
I’m thinking that viewers who’ve never known Days w/J&M must be wondering what the fuss is about.
I sure hope they snap out of this sleepwalk and soon!
