DAYS OF OUR LIVES: The Beautiful Goodbyes

32
Friday’s episode was another one for the Emmy nominations! Marlena’s children and grandchildren saying their goodbyes were hearbreaking. Sami’s speech and then laying her head down beside Marlena like a child, just take my heart now! Drake Hogestyn deserves the Best Leading Actor at next year’s Daytime Emmy Awards. I think Ali Sweeney deserves an award also. I really think she has grow so much as an actress, especially from this visit. Last year’s visit was fun and over the top, but she’s breaking my heart and making me cheer her on on this visit. I’m glad to read that… Read more »
Drake has been killing it. Definitely deserves recognition.
I always like Ali.
^^^Drake Hogestyn deserves the Best Leading Actor at next year’s Daytime Emmy Awards – agree w/you Blake !
ONE FOR THE -upstanding- GOOD GUY. absolutely
I am still liking his “white” hair.. he will always be remembered for being one of the best their is: good looking as ever
his doc … was heart wrenchching this Fridays ep… not one inclination or tease of her being “resuscitated”. C’mon Doc
To be honest all of the goodbyes made me cry. I can relate since I lost my mom this past June although she was 90 and sick she lost her will to live. This whole ordeal was way to much for me. When Sami said her last goodbyes and they disconnected Marlana from the machine my tears because worse I just broke down . It was so hard to hold back. Even if you havent experienced a death in your family how could this show not touch you. Even my best friend was crying. This show was so very sad.… Read more »
It is Hattie. John, Roman, and Kayla moved the real Marlena. John made a deal with Hattie to pretend she was the dying Marlena.
It wou;d be a real tear jerker if Marlena was really being killed off…but actors and shows need there emmy nomination scenes-lol
I have to say as a newcomer to Days (withing the last 1-2 years) I love this show and all its characters. Though I’m still not up to speed (and probably never will be) I’m completely immersed in what I DO know. All of the scenes from the time Marlena was admitted to now have been exceptionally well done and all too familiar to anyone who’s ever had to wait it out in a hospital and perhaps say goodbye. It’s (I’m using this word again which I used in relation to GH) gut-wrenching. I doubt Marlena will die. If she… Read more »
That might not be Marlena but her lookalike Hattie so if she dies its not the real Marlena!!!!
That’s been the rumor, jimh. Just saw a preview with that. I’m thinking it’s one of two things. Hattie somehow kidnapped her before the wedding and changed places or it is Marlena but she suffered some kind of (temporary) brain damage which has her acting like Hattie.
Oh, wow! Just added to my comment. What a brilliant move on the writer’s part to have John get Hattie to impersonate Marlena! THAT’s how he saves her life; by keeping her stashed away on the vent!
That is exactly what I think. Remember Susan called someone just before the wedding saying she needs her help. I have a feeling it might have been Hattie. Guess we will just have to wait and see.
I knew it. That was some ending with Hattie sitting up telling John she was Hattie Adams wasnt it??
She didn’t tell John she was Hattie. He knew it. He needed to save Marlena from having the vent removed so he made a deal with Hattie to impersonate her while he took the real Marlena somewhere else to keep her safe. The kids don’t know it yet.
Yes, Jimmy…I said the same thing as soon as the Marlena doll appearared….but then, I was sidetracked by Susan. Her behavior toward Sami and Belle sort of gave her away. But, I thought her mind was fraught with conflicting thoughts/ emotions due to her trauma? Subconsciously, I guess Hattie wasn’t a surprise since she did cross my mind (as she did yours and other posters, I see) and I joked about it. It could have also been Marlena’s twin ( in real life)…..is “Samantha” still alive? I forgot. What confused me, today, was John’s remark? “This was not the plan”?…… Read more »
The plan was John getting Hattie out of jail so she could impersonate Marlena. It waa the only way he could save her. He snuck Marlena out (still on the vent), probably with Roman and/or Kayla’s help. This way the hospial thinks they pulled the plug while he has Marlena safely stashed away so she could have time to recover. He wasn’t going to let her be taken off the machine and this was what he/ they thought up to save her. Loved it! Obviously, her kids don’t know so John was angry that Hattie said those things to them,… Read more »
OOHH!!….I missed a couple of eps. Thanks, Rebecca.
I was so taken aback when “Marlena” turned on her daughters so nastily…..sooo against her nature.
I knew something was off.
You’re welcome, CeeCee. They didn’t show any of that so you didn’t actually miss it. But, Marlena has been on that vent and as you might know they were going to disconnect it as per her advance directives. Belle is the one that was put in charge of turning those papers in to the hospital, who had a legal obligation to follow Marlena’s wishes. John was dead set against it and didn’t want Belle to let them know about the advance directive. He had no legal recourse so it seems this was the plan he came up with to prevent… Read more »
Thanks, again, Rebecca….it certainly explains everything!! I get it, now. Duh, right? LOL.
I’ve been in and out…..my sister just had twin girls ( so beautiful !), and she and her husband bought a new house in the midst of it. Go figure!!
❤️
🙂 Congrats!
TY❤️
This episode was epic, I can’t wait till Monday great job of acting
When kayla turned off the machine. My brother was taken off a ventilator 2 years ago.
I would be very upset if my family kept me on a vent. I have the doc’s in place with my wishes. And I’ve told my daughter.
Sammy singing the kill any to her firing mother was gut wrenching. Also when Brady talked to Marlene that was pretty sad.
All I could do is cry
Me to.It was so depressing
So sad. Can’t wait for today.
The “goodbyes” scene was classic….I wasn’t moved because we all knew Marlena was going to make it. However, the acting, by everyone, was superb.
“I have become oblivious to Marlena’s dying”….. that is a direct quote from my grandmother, Fiona. LOL.
Personally, I think that the reason why Marlena is rejecting Sammy is due to a little skermish with herself—temporary mental lapse? She is primarily and foremost a mother. Just a suggestion…..
Either that, or it is Hattie in that hospital bed—-or Samantha ( Andrea Hall)?? LOL.
I knew it all along it was Hattie in that bed.Especially when she yelled at Sami and Bell the real Marlana wouldnt do that.I told you so
It wasn’t Hattie all along. John switched them before they could pull the plug on Marlena.
Days of our live won’t be the same w out Marlena you’ve got to come back Marlena
Good job, Days! This is called soap opera everyone! Those emotional scenes by the characters we love and know. Whether, Marllena, comes thru or not…writing, acting, production on point. No silly contrived explosions, forgiven remotes, or newbies cast, yesterday.
Make us feel, make us laugh, make us cry.
Basic hospital set and action!
Know who you, what you are all about and own it!
Are you watching this producers and writers of Y&R, B&B, GH? Love you all, however, Days, is bringing it!
Isn’t it sad how Brady waited till he was an adult to apologize to Marlena. He has to be well into his 30s. Still an immature brat
