It was something that Maggie was willing to stand up to Xander now that the truth about Sarah is out. Maggie never wanted to see the worst in Xander no matter what he did, yet now she wants to make him pay for what he does to Sarah. Guess in Maggie’s eyes, Xander could do anything to other people, but he’s persona non grata if he does anything to her daughter. It was too little too late for her to be done with him now. We couldn’t believe Maggie when she blamed Xander for everything as if Sarah was innocent. Hopefully he will go after Maggie when he gets his revenge on Sarah. We are sick of Maggie’s holier than thou attitude as if she didn’t lie to him.
Marlena’s performance this week broke our hearts. She showed the right emotion when it came to John. Marlena handled it with grace even though she was worried about John. Deidre Hall deserves an Emmy for her amazing performance. She made us want to grab tissue when she wanted John to stay with her and not leave her. Knowing that Drake Hogestyn is no longer here made Marlena asking for John not to leave her even more painful.
We applaud the writers for showing the flashbacks of John. It was nice going down memory lane with some of the flashbacks. The writers did a fabulous job paying tribute to the late actor. If they are doing this for him before the character died, we look forward to what they will do when John dies. The flashbacks will make it more emotional.
While we’re applauding the writers, we want to applaud the other actors in John’s story. They did a great job with the material. It was heartbreaking seeing them break down over what was going on with John. The actors showed real emotion over John which made an impact and made the scenes powerful. We were invested as each of them talked about the kind of man John was.
Thumbs up to the writers for having Abe ask Kate about Philip. It wasn’t that long ago when Abe and Kate worked together on Body & Soul so it was good to see him show concern for Philip. It showed that Abe and Kate still care about each other and haven’t forgotten that they are friends. The writers deserve another thumbs up for bringing Paul, Carrie, Will, and Eric back to see John. It was a reminder of how much he meant to them.
