A rant brought to you by J&M fan... *josephine*

I HATE STUMPY!!!

Look at my blinkies...he's an imposter, and I hate him. I haven't liked him since they wheeled him into J&M's wedding mumbling "Duck" "Duck" saying he was Roman, when in fact he is Chris K, or how he's always moping around saying he'll never love anyone like he loved his Duck. I hate how when he was dying in bed in 97, J&M would be kissing, and he would see it and be like "Duck, what are you doing?" and then was too freaking stupid to figure things out. Hello dumba$$! She loves John just like she ALWAYS has! And I hated how he just moved in with his Duck when he came back in 97 and expected her to just want to be with him when HE was the one to run off with his tail between his Faux legs. And how he'd sit on the couch at the penthouse and wonder why Marlena had pictures of John up and why she kept looking at them from across the room. Again...hello Dumba$$! She loves John just like she ALWAYS has! I hate how he's too stupid to ever figure anything out on his own so he just scratches his face and swings his upper torso around until he thinks of something to say...and even then it begins with "wha duh hell"!! And then when he found out Kristen's schemes and how J&M were together, he decided to go along with it and lie just like Kritter was, so he could make his Duck fall in love with him. He's no better than the DiMeras! Hey, maybe he's ONE OF THEM!!!

And I hate how his Stumpy *** is the one that saved Belle from the poisoning that his new friend Kritter caused! And I hate how his illness is what drove John into the jungle and began the whole Jope mess. Stumpy's disease is what infested the whole show with Jope!

And I hate how HE was the one who got a big farewell scene with Carrie when she left, when Drake's Roman is the one who RAISED Carrie, and he didn't even GET a goodbye scene. (although I love that John got most of the time with her on the most recent goodbye)

And I hate how his dumba$$ tried to get Carrie and Sami to just kiss and make up and pretend that Sami hadn't TORMENTED Carrie for YEARS! That's right, he wouldn't know, because he WASN'T AROUND!

He was in Imposter School during that time, or else losing his memory as Chris K! And I hate how he had his throat slit by the SK and survived. (But I loved the shot of him with the wedding cake people in his throat! LOL) And I hate how he infected Unchained Melody by dancing to that with Kate. I hated his cowboy outfit he wore with Billie in Europe, and how he thought his Stumpy self was so cool because he got it on with her. Hey, Stumpy, she's now doing that Nick kid, so I don't think she has very high standards!

I hate how he was living in J&M's house for a while, and then sold it to Abe & Lexie. I hate how he moved in on Marlena when she got the island. I hate how he had the nerve to wear John's replica pajamas. Go stay at your own replica house Stumpy! Or better yet, find a way off the island instead of into Marlena's bed! What a pathetic excuse for a cop! I hate how Cassie & Rex are his! Not because I love Cassie & Rex, but because now we have two more of his spawn children running around somewhere. I hate how he stood there like a pathetic wimp when J&M reunited on the island...helloooo what about your wife Kate at the time? He didn't even act like he missed her! Oh, and I hate how he called her Katie and still does!! Grrrrr!!! I hate how everytime Fauxmar saw Jate on screen, instead of being upset about his wife and missing HER, he wanted to suck face with his Duck! I hate how he supposedly collected all these tools and could never come up with a way to try to escape! What the heck were you planning on doing with those you idiot?!?!?! AND I HATE his "What DA hell"ing all over the place, and it's parTner, not parDner, dumb@$$!!!

I also hated how he begged Marlena to marry him on his death bed in 97! You pathetic LOSER! And then begged Marlena to f*&% him on the island because he thought he was dying from a leg wound! Is that the only way to get some, Stumpy? And when he walked into the New Years party and collapsed and ruined some wicked cute J&M scenes! And I hate how he played the martyr when Belle was poisoned and "stepped aside" for J&M...give me a freaking break, Stumpy! You knew you didn't have a chance! And before that showing up at the cabin to find Marlena, and THEN being p!ssed that John was there!!! WHAT DA HELL do you think YOU were doing? At least John had enough decency to leave and let Marlena have some space, but you had to make sure you got Marlena in your Faux car so you could try to convince her to pick Stump over Hunk on the drive back to Salem!! And I hate how you gave in to Sami about John killing Marlena and had to go over there like the serial killer patrol and barge into *J&M's* house!! You are not welcome Stumpy! Oh, and btw, I never appreciated how you trashed JOHN's plane on NYE when you saw J&M kissing, buddy!!! Did you ever pay for the damages you did? Of course not! Again...how STUPID were you back then? It took THAT for you to pull your Faux head out of your Faux ***? You should have died in that island hospital that Kristen SUPPOSEDLY found you in!!!

And that's the worst thing...they constantly dangle his death in front of us, but never follow through! And on top of that, whenever he IS close to kicking the bucket, they always have him requesting sex or marriage from Marlena! Couldn't he at least have the decency to really DIE one of these times!!!???

And now John's in a coma, and who happens to be one of the first people to visit Marlena and offer her a ride home? That's right. I don't even have to say it, do I?

Geez, I bet he takes her home and invites himself in for coffee so he can be around her even longer. And I bet he will also continue to pretend that he isn't the one that coordinated that botched attempt to meet up with EJ, using John! And why the heck did he sit in the freaking car once he realized that the communication was lost? Isn't that a possible sign of trouble, you idiot?!?! And now he tells Marlena that he'll go to Mexico illegally if he has to, in order to catch EJ. How much do you want to bet he doesn't follow through with THAT promise!?!??? (Just like the countless times he's been on his deathbed swearing it would be the last time he asks Marlena for sex!!) I've got an idea for him...just head to Mexico, and never come back! Unfortunately, Mexico may not want the Stump either!

I hate Fauxman!!! One of these days, I'll get my revenge for all the "Ducks" and "parDners" and "What DA hells" and "Screw me, Doc, I'm dying" he's put me through over the years, when he's revealed to be the imposter he is!!!

AND MAYBE ONE OF THE VERY WORST THINGS ABOUT HIM BEING ROMAN AND NOT CHRIS K OR AN IMPOSTER IS...

I HATE how his presence is preventing us from EVER seeing John & Marlena's first meeting/handshake scene because he's smack dab in the middle of it as Chris K!!! That scene is AWESOME and J&M fans should get to see it!!!

After seeing the recent John and Marlena love scenes, I have to say something. I need to get it off my chest & into words or I will never stop thinking about it.

First let me start off by saying I didn't think it was possible to love two characters so much. I mean I have never let myself get this excited & obsessed about two fictional people in my life. But, with John & Marlena, I can't help myself. They are just amazing & wonderful & I can't get enough of them. I find myself thinking about them at work or when I am doing other things, it's just so wonderfully ridiculous.

The love scenes from Monday re-confirmed why I love them so much. They are just out-of-this-world sizzling, steaming, smoking, burning HOT!

Drake & Deidre packed so much passion into the three short scenes we got to catch my television on fire. I was surprised I didn't need a fire extinguisher. I don't think any other actors or characters can put that much chemistry & passion into three short scenes like they can.

Drake & Deidre aren't like any other actors in my opinion. Their chemistry & rapport on-screen is amazing & rare. Yes, other actors & characters have chemistry & look good together but Drake & Deidre have the type of chemistry that's hard to find, you can't even begin to describe.

They take my breath away.

There are probably a great many people who think I'm absolutely, completely, out of my mind crazy but I don't care.
After the garbage that we were spoon fed for almost four years by Reilly is now a distant memory. I didn't think I would ever feel the same about John & Marlena ever again, after what Reilly did to them; together & apart. He literally chewed them up, spit them out, & then stomped on them until they were completely unrecognizable. It was devastating.

I had lost all hope for John & Marlena but then Sheffer came on board & completely changed my mind. He brought our couple back & did it better than ever. They are better than they've ever been. It was a wonderful, beautiful thing to enjoy Days & my couple again.

Drake & Deidre have still got it as well & are better than they've ever been.

We were long overdue for a love scene & I was not disappointed, although they could have been longer, Sheffer delivered.
John & Marlena made up for lost time after being apart for so long, they couldn't get enough of each other.

See how John & Marlena's love scenes can be passionate but tasteful? When I watched them, I didn't feel like I was watching pornography. What I saw was two beautiful people who were in love & were physically sharing that love with each other.
It was beautiful & passionate & they didn't look like two dogs in heat. It was slow, sweet, & sensual. That's the way love scenes should be. This time around Deidre didn't even need a body double.

When I was watching them, I wanted to turn away, but couldn't, it was that beautiful. Drake & Deidre make it look so real, you feel like you are intruding. You want to watch but at the same time you don't want to disturb them because they look so amazing together.

Who would have guessed all those years ago when Drake & Deidre's characters were paired together that they would be so successful, have so much chemistry, be so popular for so many years & be loved & admired by so many people? The casting directors knew a good thing when they saw it. I could kiss the person or people who thought John & Marlena would be great together.

Every time I see a John & Marlena love scene, I always remember some things Deidre said about her love scenes with Drake. She said that love scenes are difficult because of the work involved but also tactfully difficult because it's very hard in those moments to know right from wrong. You are wearing nothing but body stockings & your bodies are touching. You rely on your leading man for everything, so you can't let yourself get lost in the moment during those scenes.

She also said what helps her is the trust she has for Drake. It's the most important thing. She feels comfortable with him so it's easier to do love scenes. He's not bad to look at either.

I thought about those things she said when I saw the recent love scenes & I could tell how comfortable they are with each other. That's probably why the scenes look so believable & realistic to us viewers.

They have worked together so long, so it probably doesn't take much for them to get into their characters & scenes.
They have a mutual trust, friendship, positive fan base, & a rare natural, passionate chemistry that is not easily found in other actors of the same magnitude.

Luke & Laura, Bo & Hope, & Doug and Julie are three of the insanely popular daytime couples. I am not doubting their chemistry & popularity by any means, but for me I feel that John & Marlena are in that group & are disregarded as a less popular couple & I don't know why.

Could it be that John and Marlena came to be because of the demise of Roman & Marlena who were also popular?

Could it be because some people think Drake & or Deidre have had their time in the sun & are now old news?

Could it be because some people don't want Drake's character tied down to one woman, or Deidre's character tied down to one man?

Could it be that some people don't like Drake or maybe they don't like Deidre, & if they don't like one half, they don't want them paired up.

Those reasons I listed may not even be the reasons. I don't have the answers. I know for a fact that they're my favorite & they always will be.

Thank you Drake & Deidre for giving us our John & Marlena & thanks to Hogan Sheffer for bringing them back better than ever. It's nice to finally have something to look forward to & enjoy again.

I hope these recent love scenes are just the beginning of more love scenes to come.

I am a J & Moholic, but I don't plan on quitting anytime soon.

Sorry that was so long but I had a lot to get off my chest. Please feel free to comment.
