     I understand why John is so upset and I am not a Marlena fan but, she admitted what she did and that it was wrong.  She was also right to point out that Kristin tried to kill her and she was never going to trust her.  John and Marlena seem quick to battle on this issue.  I find it out of character for them both.  That being said, I am enjoying evil Kristin messing with Marlena.  It wouldn’t bother me if she hooked up with Brady.  At least it would be interesting.

    This is certainly not the Marlena we’ve known for so long.  She has gone so far over the top with this she may never come back down.  Instead of keeping on confronting Kristin and telling her "she’s not going to get away with it" (how ridiculous to say), why doesn’t she just plain walk away from her?  If I hated somebody that bad I’d certainly not want to keep "having at it" with them, I’d try to avoid them totally and completely.

    And I’m glad John got mad at her.  I don’t care if she did fess up, her actions and her words were reprehensible.  She was goading Kristin.  Of course, that’s exactly what Kristin was aiming for.

    I would sweetly smile, say “Nice Try Kristen,” and walk away. Engaging her in conversation is exactly what she wants.

    that John was just a little too glib with that forgive and move on for me nonsense. The woman tried to kill Marlena and he seems to be able to put that behind him with no problems. if it were me, and my husband felt that way about a woman who tried to kill me and who he very nearly married once upon a time, I would be a little frazzlef too. John is being totally dismissive of Kristen’s past actions. What I would have asked him is when he is going to practice the same theory with Stefano he wants Marlena to apply to Kristen. We all know the answer to that…NEVER. So why should Marlena not be permitted to have her anger and why does she have to justify it to John?

    and John trying to convince Marlena that Kristen has changed is stupidity at its highest peak.  The very thought of Kristin coming back into that room, telling Marlena she has one more thing to say, and then looking straight into her eyes with that evil grin on her face, and saying "thank you," made me want to grab her by the neck and choke her myself.  Granted, Marlena should have done the sensible thing and walked away, but instead she played right into Kristen’s hands by showing how all of this nonsense affected Marlena.  John and Brady’s insistence that Kristen has changed will serve them both right when they live to regret it, and I don’t have one single doubt in my mind that they both will live to regret it.  I need Marlena to get even tougher with Kristen and eventually take her down.  I am so damn sick of the DiMeras evil ways, I can’t see straight.

     John was so over the top yesterday.  Yes, Marlena did not tell him Kristin called.  Who could blame her.  How did she know something happened to Brady?  I wanted to just smack some sense into John. Marlena has every right to feel the way she does after what Kristin did to her. John was acting like an a$$.  I could barely watch him treat Marlena that way.  If the shoe was on the other foot, you can bet Marlena would be supportive and kind to John.  I thought Marlena explained her feelings to John quite well and all he could manage to say to her was something like ‘how did we stop talking to each other’.  What???  Marlena just poured her heart out to you and you say that?   So ridiculous!

    I was just going to say that – you don’t see Marlena saying maybe Stefano has changed and we should forgive him. No he tried to kill John and Roman, and Marlena stands by her man and would never even think about being friendly with Stefano

    Stefano hasn’t come to them telling them he has gone though therapy and trying to make amends while Kristin has.  I’m not saying she isn’t full of balogna nor am I saying I believe her. 

    But I think Marlena has gone overboard here, not John.  Why in the world does she just stand there and take all that crap AND continue to argue with Kristin which just keeps everything going.  How many times can a person say she’s not going to get away with it?  Okay, Marlene, we get your drift.  She should walk away from her, out of the room, and stay away from her so Kristin can’t get to her.  But she’s too afraid to leave John with her.  She does NOT trust John.  If she did she wouldn’t have erased those messages.

    If she had called her a bitch while they were alone, like when Kristin came back in the room, I wouldn’t have had a problem with that.  I just think she is making an ass out of herself and certainly not being the "better" person, which is something we would always expect from Marlena.  Heck, she even talks decently to Stefano and look what he’s done to her.

    the way I see it, the ONLY mistake Marlena made was not listening to the message before erasing it.

    but do you think John would accept it if Stefano did come back from wherever he is saying he had been through therapy and was now a nice guy and sorry for all the stuff I put you through? Uh, NO. And especially with all these little coincidental things Kristin keeps pulling, like "spending" the night with John I can certainly see Marlena’s point about her and I truly believe John is behaving like an a** in this situation. So far all Kristin has done is talk about how changed she is. As they say, actions speak louder and marlena hears her loud and clear.
