Days of Our Lives fans love a lot of couples, but none so much as they love Marlena and John. This is a couple that is picture perfect in so many ways. They’re in love, they’re happy. John has been gone so long now that Marlena has only been able to dream of him. She has, too. She’s had extensive imaginative moments in which she daydreams of the man she loves more than any other, and she’s been able to see him in her dreams for a while.
Now he’s back. She’s been waiting months for him to return from his mission, and he’s been able to walk through their front door with a smile on his face for the woman he loves, and she’s just as happy as can be. But we wonder how long these two will be happy. It’s not like Marlena is sitting around the house upset and sad that he’s not available to her, but she’s not exactly bored while he’s gone. She’s got a life of her own, she’s a smart woman, and she’s lovely. With him gone so much, we’re beginning to wonder if there is a way she might find love elsewhere — or fall out of love with John at some point.
After all, she has no idea what he’s doing when he’s off on his missions. And that makes us wonder. Since we don’t know what he’s doing when he’s gone, how long will it be before the writers of this show decide they are going to make something of it? He’s got all the opportunities available to do something dastardly. What if his missions are really trips to see his other secret family, or to be with another woman, or to live a completely different life? While we have no doubt he loves Marlena, we know how writers think; and this is a perfect setup for this kind of situation.
