SOD: John to Marlena - Divorce Me!; October 18th issue

Please link to DR

John is forced to take drastic action after witnessing a fight between Carrie and Austin over his case. "Austin is on the prosecuting team, and Carrie is trying to defend John, " sighs Drake Hogestyn. "John is aware of the strain that is being placed on everybody."

The Carrie/Austin dust-up occurs, explains Patrick Muldoon, when "Carrie assumes that Austin is going through her files, and he's not. Since they are on opposite sides of John's case, they are very suspicious of each other. The circumstances are so big that it's out of control."

John meets with Austin alone and insists that he's not guilty. "Austin can only go by the evidence," Muldoon frowns. "The difficult thing is that Austin has the utmost respect for John Black as a person. He has to go through a big inner struggle; it becomes his mind versus his heart."

Meanwhile, "John starts having flashbacks of being in Paris," Drake previews. "Since John is not completely sure what these flashbacks mean, he decides to do the noble thing and protect his family." To that end, John informs Marlena that he thinks it's for the best that they divorce. "John would like to distance himself from Marlena and try to save her from heartbreak."

Of course, Marlena is dead-set against the idea and tells John that he can't make a decision for her. "It's killing John, because he knows that Marlena will stay steadfast to the end of her life and pine away for John, just as he will pine away from her," Drake notes.

As the Blacks ponder the future of their marriage, Austin continues to do some digging in the hopes of exonerating John, but the evidence he unearths only makes John look guiltier. "There is a picture shown of John in a Paris cafe, during the same time that he was supposed to be having experimental surgery in Switzerland," reveals Drake. But what if that image has been doctored to make John look guilty? Acknowledges Muldoon, "Obviously, Austin has go deal with the possibility that John has been set up."

Sounds semi interesting but def reminds me of "days"

I like the turmoil in Carrie/Austin's relationship that doesn't involve Sami.

[DancingDays]

I like the tension for Carrie/Austin, but I really can't whip up ANY interest in John/Marlena. Sorry.

[ghoulgirl]

Marlena? Heck no. I do like John. Always have. Not so much, so far, this go-round.
I am curious to see where this leads. This absolutely reminds me of a John storyline from days. Not remembering things. Having flashbacks. Maybe it will be something along the lines that he has a split personality and doesn't remember? What if Stefano somehow had him under mind control? What if he was having some kind of glitch in his brain due to too much brain messing around that Stefano performed on him over the years? What if it was one of his alter egos...Father John, John, NuJohn, Roman, Forrest?!?
Sorry. Once I started typing I just couldn't stop. lol

I am on the same exact wavelength GG.
