My hero. Just kidding!
Seriously though, I am really enjoying this amnesiac, brainwashed John. He’s fun and surly and finds Marlena annoying. I can sympathize, but she’s not even being that ridiculous. I’d place her at about a 7.5 right now. If she starts squinting and cooing, I’ll bump her up to a 9, but she seems relatively subdued after the hysteria she displayed at the Dimera Mansion earlier in the evening.
There’s a part of me that sympathizes with Marlena, however. I guess I’ll never know the pain and anguish of losing a husband only to find out that he’s returned from the dead and doesn’t remember me, but I do feel for her, especially as this isn’t even the first time this has happened. Marlena’s loved and lost more times than Elizabeth Taylor. I wrote that and then I pictured Liz in a hospital room trying to tell Richard Burton of their love only instead of pictures she hands him diamond earrings and tells him that “these have always brought me luck”. Then she announces that “Glad-eeeee-ate-or!” has just won the Golden Globe for Best Picture Drama.
So here’s a thought: what if the interim writers took a page from General Hospital and just went full out with this amnesiac, soldier scenario and have John totally turn his back on his family a la Jason Morgan. He could pal around with Victor and be all gangster whilst running a coffee shop.
I’m trying to enjoy it. It’s just tough. Their dialog resembles way too closely Steve and Kayla’s dialog and I’m just too bitter, which of course is putting me into a dangerous position of just wanting to FF through their stuff.

I can’t stop watching it, Feral John is like a trainwreck. I am so glad that I have like 28 more consecutive weekdays to go like this.
