Marlena

revealing Drake back taping. So glad. Maybe they’ll fix him and Marlena. Of course, we won’t see any of it until October, or perhaps November, since taping is 4 months ahead. What we are watching now was taped in Feb/Mar, but in any case I’m glad DH coming back. I was afraid they fired him …. again.

and how he just could not imagine how he was going to play certain scenes and feel good about it. I think we’ll see a different actor when he returns. I like Drake Hogestyn, a lot, and I would like to see the writers “fix” this super-couple. They’re aren’t many left in soaps, the writers keep breaking them apart. This is happening on other soaps, not just DOOL. I have high hopes our writers are moving more in the right direction when I see what’s happening on other shows in daytime. The ratings for DOOL are going up, and they have moved ahead in certain demographics, and that’s certainly a good thing. Shows they do pay attention to the fans in many instances …. not all, but a lot, and I think Drake’s 3 or 4 month departure will be well worth his return. At least I hope it will. Just stay put, Marlena, and don’t let’s Roman use Sami’s predicament to bring his self further into your orbit once he realizes John is gone.
