That was the description that came to mind while I was watching Marlena "emote" on Tuesday's episode. She's standing next to Roman who's on a stretcher, looking barely concerned about this man who was once the love of her life.
Then he says he's worried about Sami and she keeps claiming she's sure Sami's fine. How the hell would she know? There was a major explosion. People died. Why aren't you at least trying to find out where she is, make sure she's okay. She's your DAUGHTER. If Carrie were still in town, Marlena would be turning over every rock in Salem to find her.
And just once, I'd like to hear Marlena exclaim "oh my god" instead of "oh my gosh." Oh my gosh just doesn't cut it for a major explosion.

Thank the Lord above that Carrie wasnt' in town. Then we would have to listen to Marlena cry & gasp about not knowing where she is. Other than her grandchildren (whom she rarely interacts with anyway) Sami is of no benefit to Marlena. She doesn't like to be reminded of her shortcomings and that is exactly what Sami does. Sami is a reminder (no to mention verbally reminds her) that she is not as high on that pedestal as she thinks she is and Marlena doesn't like it or know how to handle that.

Marlena isn't concerned with Roman because she knows he's really Chris - with whom I don't think she's ever had a relationship.
As for Sami, Marlena is never concerned about anyone other than John. As long as John is ok, she couldn't give a rats ass about anyone else, including her children.

Confession: I still think of him as Chris K., too...  Marlena's very existence annoys me. She didn't seem very concerned about anyone and was basically useless. I agree, she didn't seem as concerned with Sami being missing as she did in trying to suck face with her husband. |

I agree, she didn't seem as concerned with Sami being missing as she did in trying to suck face with her husband. and using lines that came from jkjpatch's stories - not only the love you more bit but she also called him "Sailor". Very close to Chloe's "Soldier" I had to listen to that twice to make sure I heard right. And if any one on the show would be called sailor, I would think that it would be Bo. |

Funny I saw it differently... She was at triage with Kayla trying to keep everyone calm. You need to be calm to help others. Panic was not needed then and she did know that both Lucas & Will were helping to find Sami and those twp do also love Sami.

Normally I'd agree with you SG,the problem is that there's a difference between calm and indifference.Marlena is indifferent to anyone who is not John or Carrie.She's been like that for as long as I can remember.Mother of the year she is NOT.

I have very different views on Marlena as I have a daughter very much like Sami.

But Marlena just seemed indifferent overall yesterday. She looked like she actually got irritated with Kayla for asking where Lucas was & why he left. And then she said "Well I tried to stop him, but that was futile" kind of like she said "Don't leave" and nothing else. like she was irritated that he didn't obey her commands.  |

If I hadn't seen her face when she said it, I could probably see it another way, but her facial expressions and squinty-hole boring- eyes is what made her seem that way to me.
