Damn! I enjoyed OG possessed Marlena.I it’s as good as 1994 Possession Storyline.

Wanted to watch it back then, but couldn’t. YAY!!!

HELLo Salem! It’s good to be back!!

Not really looking forward to this if it’s going to be a repeat. Are they running out of ideas with that talented cast? Yee-gads! I’ll wait, watch and see once we’re into it. Always try to believe for the best in our soaps.

They really need to go back to these gothic storylines it’s what made days so much fun

A one off Halloween special. It won’t be an extended storyline.

That was the kind of story you don’t revisit. I know Ron C. has been chomping at the bit to revisit this story. I swear he has been possessed by Jim Reilly. Their writing is so similar it is eerie! Both of their writing is shallow, plot driven, predictable, repetitive, and ludicrous at times. I watched the original. It was ok. A lot of overacting, a lot of campy writing, a lot of cheesy special effects. It wasn’t a first for daytime. Both Loving and Dark Shadows had featured demonic storytelling. It was different and divisive, you either loved it… Read more »

Hopefully like the April fool idea – one day only halloween… otherwise DON’T.

Time for a break from this show… like Carson on GH, I’m tired of Jarlena on Days.

I’m 100% game for this if it’s a one-off Halloween special like the April Fools episode. In fact, I think soaps need to do one-off episodes more often because they usually turn out great. But if this is a long-term storyline, it’s going to get old FAST. It was even ludicrous at the time, and I really don’t think daytime TV is the place for possession stories anymore.

Ok……………. Ron can’t come up with an original idea.

Oy veh…

OMG,
I’d rather see Ben and his never fail necktie come back. I wonder if they’ll show John trying to kiss her with his slobbery open mouth. That should bring her down to earth real quick! ⁰

I was never a fan of the JER era and definitely over the writer pets of Brady/Black family and Ben/Ciara. While all the other characters get crappy writing—the Bonnie and Duke the Bear stuff is Ridiculous. If you can’t attempt quality for all stories and characters it’s not worth tuning into. Thanks to Ron, I’m starting to watch CBS soaps which bring good drama and angst.

That story is worthy only of Days Cancellation. Soap media promotes garbage for the producers but is rarely HONEST. Terrible story and if that is why they brought Johnny back send him away far away never to be seen again. Deidre Hall I am so ashamed that you do such insulting nonsense. Surely you have enough money by now.

Yuck! I didn’t like the first time around and of course it’s stunt plot driven dibble. I like my soaps to be character driven stories. Did anyone watch last weeks episode on Thursday the 9th on YR with Jack/Phyllis, Nick/Sharon, Victor/Adam best character driven episode I’ve seen in years. All coming from the characters past, heart pulling when you’re a fan know each couple’s history…Wonderful!

Lord, can Harrison Lord become a regular character? Can he be raised from the dead? The actor playing Harrison, in a 1-day stint, has acting chops as well as appeal that is off the charts! And while you’re at it, bring back Calista Lockhart, too! Another great character actress who chews the scenery par excellence! Forget the Possession storyline!

An “all-time classic” is not how I would describe that plot. There have been some lousy storylines on soaps over the decades but I can think of only two that were so dreadful that I permanently quit watching a series and never went back….. The “Marlena is possessed” garbage on Days and the “cloning of Reva” on Guiding Light. Both were such bad ideas that I questioned the qualifications and judgment of the writers who came up with them and (inanely) thought they would work. Who in their right mind would think revisiting this junk is a smart move? Obviously,… Read more »

So…. how about that entrance, huh?

Didn’t think I’d show up in Salem like that, did ya??

Does anyone have any info about Chive Tea like Kayla ordered at the pub? I know what Chives are but never heard of them being used to make tea.

I hated it then and now even more better way to have storyline than anything to do with Satan

It was ridiculous before and it’s ridiculous now. What on earth are they thinking? There are so many other ways to go. All I can say is, “YIKES”.

I’m totally disgusted. What is this… some cheap Halloween trick? Is the show that desperate they need to go back to this? It seems stupid
And immature writing. If I wanted to watch a horror story, I’d rent a horror movie. This is ridiculous. I’m ashamed if this horrible decision. What next, Mary Poppjns or the wizard of Salem/OZ? I will watch another show during this time until the DOOL writers get some Real material. Or fire the kids And bring in some mature writers. This is bull crap.

With COVID and death lying in every corner, this is the last thing people need to see. A possession? Really? Folks need GOD more than ever right now. How sick are these writers? Or Maybe they’re the ones possessed? I think that’s the answer. It’s starting to make sense. Yes, I’ll visit another show. Anything will be worth watching than this crazy crappy storyline. It’s sick!!!

The most ridiculous story line ever…….Marlena being possessed! Please STOP! I am so disappointed……..beyond belief! I will never watch again! How stupid do you think people are????!!!

Disgusting and totally inappropriate. We may stop watching.

I think its awful. I didn’t watch these parts 25 years ago and I skip some of it again nnow.its enough evil is here on earth destroying our world. No need to bring in more even on TV. This is a soap opera not a horror movie.

What a waste of time. I didn’t like the story line in the 1990’s and I dislike even more the second time around. Is it too much to ask for fresh story lines?

We just finished a year of lockdown. No need to see a storyline like this one. Might resume watching after it wraps up. (Re: Marlena and being possessed). Just not interested and in poor taste.

Absolutely ridiculous. The stupidest storyline back then and here we go again to another half year of stupidity. When will writers finally come up with their own storylines??? Why must they keep repeating old ones.

How lazy can you be to do one job. You have one job to do . Write for a soap opera and you can’t even do that because you have to steal someone else’s work . Hate it .

I think this possession stuff is disgusting and I was almost going to stop watching it but I didn’t but now that they’re going to possess Ciara’s baby? I am 66 years old and I have been watching Days since I was 14 but I am now done.

I don’t like this storyline at all. I pvr the show and fast forward past it.

I hate this storyline. With so much evil in this world today. Who needs to watch it on tv. I love Days. I have watched it my whole life with my mother but this is too much for me to digest on a full or empty stomach. Come on writers you can do better than this. Revisit this is more like a bad nightmare relived!!!

I think it absolutely ridiculus to have Marlena be the devil again. Been there done that. Why? I hate it ande am thinking about not watching Days anymore if all they can come up with are old story lines. I a very disappointed in the writers.

It would be divine to actually be let in what Mar-Devil’s internal plan actually is. Several weeks have passed on DOOL and I still do not know what Mar-Devil came back to actually finish from decades ago.

it is stupid of them bringing the story line about the devil and all back. Bringing back the dead which is nonsense. Give me a good story line.

When is it going to end . Enough all ready . Do the writers have nothing better to write or are they just being so dam lazy
