Totally disagree with you. I started watching in 86, when John first came on show. When Marlena met John, she fell for him not believing he was Roman. Days knew they struck gold with the chemistry that Deidra and Drake had. She and Wayne Northrop didn’t have that “chemistry” and neither did Drake and Stacy. Even if Isabella lived on, the end game was always going to be John&Marlena!
@@marianajones6810 when Marlena came back in 91, John and her looked at each other and kissed before boarding airplane to go to island where it was discovered Roman was there. Isabella saw that kiss. If Isabella didn't end up pregnant, it was clear John&,Marlena were going to be together(the way he looked at Marlena before boarding plane and just kissed her indicates he chose "Doc").
IMO Roman was a naive MORON to think that he could just pop back into Salem and Marlena and John will just break up like NOTHING happened. When Roman initially "Died" , Marlena moved on to John. She would have been with him even If he turned out to be Stefano
Yeah but he gave her the option of being with him. He told her if she wanted him that was what he wanted, but if she didn't he was fine with it. He told her he didn't want her being with him out of obligation. She said yes and then cheated 😂
@@mrcori2649 True. I don't think Marlena knew how DEEPLY she loved John Him turning out to be Roman(At the time) was just icing on the cake. If he was revealed to be Stefano with plastic surgery she still would have been crazy about him. She returned to Roman out of OBLIGATION only. Emotionally she had .moved on with her life.
@@mrcori2649 Also it DID bother John that he was hurting Roman by getting with Marlena but they NEVER had a formal break up when Roman returned. Just yeah ok he's back so I'm out
@@mikeneil798 True. But he also had moved on with Isabella while Marlena was "dead"/kidnapped. Once Isabella died he made a bee line straight for Marlena with no regards for Roman 🤣
@@mrcori2649 I 100% agree with you. However, John didn't exactly twist Marlena s arm and forced her to be with him. She willingly went along with the affair. Once Isabella died it was going to happen, just when. Lol Kim WARNED Marlena that if John sticks around in Salem it was a collision for them to have an affair. I think you'll agree that if Isabella NEVER came into John's life that when Roman returned, that Marlena would have been honest with him that she moved on with John
