(John and Marlena together at last, or are they??)
“Expressing Love in Words”
Bo and John are at the Java Cafe discussing the weddnig.
“To have and to hold, from this day forw…ahh man! I am never going to get this right, Bo. Tomorrow is the most important day of my life and I don’t even know the traditional wedding vows.”
“Hey, man don’t sweat it, you’ll know them like the back of your hand by tomorrow.”
“Will I Bo? You know it would be a lot easier if I could just say what’s in my heart.”
“Why don’t you? Why don’t you go some place quiet, sit down, and just write down exactly what you feel for your precious love. Trust me, it’ll work.”
“I know exactly where I can go. Thanks!”
“Go for it, man!”
As John leaves the Java Cafe, he spots Marlena and Hope gazing at a beautiful wedding dress that has been arranged in the window.)
John greeta Marlena with a kiss
“Hello beautiful”
“Why hey there handsome. What are you doing here? You know I heard there was a wedding tomorrow.”
“There is? Well, who’s the lucky couple??”
Hope butts in
Excuse me, I am going to let you two talk. I just saw Bo. Marlena, I will meet you later at the place.”
She smiles and runs off and Marlena and John begin to walk through Salen Place arm and arm
“What was that all about? What are you up to, Doc?”
“Nothing.”
“You hyave a surprise for our wedding don’t you?”
“Maybe. Well, I’m not really sure if I can get it in time.”
“Well, I have two gifts for you. You will receive one tonight and you will receive the other one tomorrow after our wedding.”
Marlena’s eyes fill with tears as she turns towards John
“Can you believe it, John? Tomorrow is our wedding.
“I know, honey. Tomorrow I will pledge my love for you before God and everyone at St. Lukes. It’s going to be the most rememberable day of our lives.”
As John and Marlena walk off a mysterious person is seen following them.
“Let’s Talk About Love”
We see John pull up to St. Luke’s
As John walks into the church the song “Let’s Talk About Love” begins to play
Everywhere I go, all the places I’ve been
Every smile is a new horizon on a land I’ve never seen
There are people around the world- different faces different names
but there is one true emotion that reminds me we’re the same….
Let’s talk about love
As John begins to write his wedding vows he remembers the day Belle was born the song continues
rom the laughter of a child to the tears of a grown man
There’s a thread that runs right through us all and helps us understand
Then John’s thoughts drift back to the time he carried Marlena out of the secret room. He also remembers praying to God, begging him not to take her, away from him and his eyes fill with tears.
As subtile as a breeze-that fans a flicker to a flame
From the very first sweet melody to the very last refrain….
We then see Marlena appear in the doorway. John turns around and their eyes meet. We can feel the electricity between them connect as the song continues….
Let’s talk about love
Let’s talk about us
Lat’s talk about life
Let’s talk about trust
Let’s talk about love………
With every step Marlena took towards John her eyes received an extra sense of sparkle which John identified as love and happiness. As the song continued….
It’s the king of all who live and the queen of all good hearts
It’s the ace you may keep up your sleeve-’til the name is all but lost
But as gentle as the falling leaf on any autumn morn….
John graciously took Marlena’s left hand and placed it within his and then he magically traced a heart in her palm. She then repeated the process. They then placed both of their hands together and repeated the words “Forever and always, in my heart you will be”
As Marlena and John take each other’s hands and exit St. Luke’s a mysterious shadow is seen watching their every move. As the person leaves St. Luke’s a curious piece of paper is seen lying on the floor. It reads: TILL DEATH DO US PART.
John walks Marlena to her car. Marlena breaks the silence.
“You know sweetie, this will be the last night we ever spend apart.”
John places his arms around her waist.
“I realize that. After tomorrow I will be able to hold you close every night.”
“I love you so much, John.”
John kisses Marlena and whispers soft to her
“I love you more.”
“John, I think that we should go. We have a HUGE day tomorrow and i still have a lot to do.”
“Yes, we should get going. Hey, what do you have to do?”
“You will hopefully find out tomorrow.”
John opens Marlena’s car door
“My gift. When will I receive my gift??”
Oh Doc, I promise you will receive your *FIRST* gift by the end of the night.”
John kisses Marlena goodbye and they both leave
“THE ENVELOPE”
Marlena arrives at the hospital
As she gets off the elevator, she spots Hope talking to Lexie
“Oh, Hope I am here. Hello Lexie.”
“Finally, the future bride shows up. You know we almost gave up on you. Where were you or should I ask?”
Lexie starts to giggle
“Well, if you need to know, I was at St. Luke’s.”
“With John I assume?”
“Why yes Hope he was there. Lexie can we please get started?”
“Fifteen minutes later
“Thank goodness that’s over. You know giving blood is very hard for me to do.”
“Why is that?”
“Well you see Lexie, my stomach has been very weak lately.”
“You know Marlena that might be a sign.”
“Lexie do you think there might be a chance I might be… Well you know.”
“Marlena don’t get your hopes up. You may not be…”
“Don’t say it. This HAS to happen.”
“Well for your sake I hope it does.”
Lexie’s beeper goes off
“The results are in. I will be back in 10 minutes.”
“Oh my God, Hope. This could happen. I could be pregnant.”
Lexie returns with the results. Marlena and Hope’s faces are glowing with excitement.
“So Lexie, how did they turn out?? Is she or isn’t she??”
“Well, Marlena, I haven’t looked yet. I thought you should be the first one to know.”
As Marlena takes the envelope she begins to cry.
“Don’t start crying yet girlfriend. You haven’t even opened it up yet. You can save the joyous tears for when you actually see it in writing that you are pregnant.”
“Yea, but Hope what if I’m not pregnant? What if I let John down? Then what kind of wedding gift will it be?”
“Marlena, listen you have to think about what you have now. You have Belle and Brady. I know how badly you want those papers to say, ‘Yes, Marlena Evans is pregnant’, but hey, if it comes out negative, life will go on.”
“But Lexie, you don’t understand.”
“No buts, Marlena. I don’t want to hear them. John will love you no matter what. The love that John feels for you will never change. The chances of that happening is about as likely as BO dying his hair orange. God forbid.”
Everyone laughs
“Well, I guess I should go home and try to get some rest. I have a big day tomorrow.”
“You sure do. Lexie and I will meet you at the church around eleven.”
“Yea, Abe and Bo are going to meet John at the Salem Inn. I guess they are going to try to get ready there, but you know men. When they try to do something, something weird is about to accure.”
“I will see you later. I would like to thank you both of you for supporting me throughtout this whole time. You know you are the best ‘girlfriends’ that any woman could have. I love you both.
Everyone hugs
“Thanks, Marlena. We feel the same way. Are you going to open the envelope?”
“No I am not. What is in this envelope is not important. I already have all I need.”
Marlena throws the envelope in the waste basket.
Marlena arrives home.
Roses and Revelations
She is talking to herself as she is entering the penthouse
“Mrs. John Black. That has a nice ring to it.”
She turns her light on
“Oh my. He is such an angel.”
As Marlena’s eyes highlight the room, she gazes at the roses and receives a shocking surprise. Greta is seated on her couch.
“What in the heck are you doing here?”
“Now now, Marlena. You don’t need to yell.”
“Who let you in? Is Chelsea here with the kids?”
“Well, duh, Marlena you know exactly where the kids are. They are with the Bradys.”
“How did you know that?”
“Know what? Where the kids are? Father John told me.”
“Why would John have told you that? Plus, why did you break into my house? PLease don’t try to give me the line: ‘Oh, Father John let me in’ because he would not have done that and if he had he would have told me that you were here when we were at St. Lu….”
“Luke’s. I saw you at St. Luke’s together. Oh yea, I saw you at Salem PLace today, too.”
“What are you doing stalking us? Are you psycho or something?”
“NO I am not. Why would you accuse me of turning psycho all of a sudden?”
“I’m not accusing you of anyhting. It’s just that a ‘normal’ person doesn’t follow a couple around town.”
Greta geta up and starts walking towards Marlena
“Listen, Marlena I have tried to communicate with you ever since I arrived in Salem, but you won’t even give me a chance.”
“Greta, do you realize what exactly has happened since you arrived in Salem? Nothing! Absolutely nothing. For some reason you have tried to cause trouble for John and me. Plus, now I find out you have been following us.”
“I have not been causing problems and you know that. Your insecurities is what has caused the problems between you and Father John.”
Marlena yells at Greta
“JOHN! His name is John, not ‘father’ John!”
“Don’t yell at me, because I can take everything you have worked so hard to get at away from you just like that.”
“What are you talking about?”
Greta poulls a gun on Marlena and begins to walk around her
“You see, Marlena, I know that JOhn loves you. I mean my God if that rock you have doesn’t prove it, I don’t know what will.”
“What’s going on? Why are you doing this? Is this why you came here tonight? Are you planning to kill me?”
“STOP with the questions. The only thing I want is JOHN.”
“What I don’t understand. You want John? Well, you can’t have him.”
Greta jams the gun in Marlena’s back
“Listen, Doc I don’t think that you are in position right now to be telling me what I can and can’t have. Do you understand?”
Marlena begins to cry
“Please don’t kill me. I have two kids that need me. John needs me.”
“John doesn’t need you. He has me.”
Just then Marlena turns around and starts fighting Greta for the gun. While fighting the gun goes off and someone is shot
The gun goes off
“Oh my God no! NO! I have to leave. I have to go right now. John can never find out that it was me. He can’t find out I shot Marlena.”
Greta heads for the door, but stops when Marlena speaka
“Greta, please don’t leave. You shot me. I need help. PLease help me.”
“Marlena, you know that I have to go. If I don’t go John will find out I did this.”
“John is going to find out eventually, you know that. ouch Greta, if you don’t help me I will die and John will hate you.”
“I’m sorry. I have to leave.”
Greta walks out the door and sits down. Then she hears Marlena scream
“John! Help me! Please! Someone please help me!”
Greta leaves because she can’t stand to hear Marlena’s voice. Then Marlena’s phoine rings. She crawls over and grabs the phone and answers it in a weak voice.
“John? Is that you? Help me.”
“Yes Doc, it’s me. What’s going on? Are you okay?”
“Help me!!”
John immediately drops the phone and rushes out of his room. Shortly, JOhn arrives at Marlena’s and notices that her door is sightly open
“Doc, where are you? I’m he…”
He sees her delicate body lying in a pool of blood
“NOOOOOO! Marlena, oh my God you’ve been shot. I have to take you to the hospital.”
John picks Marlena up and takes her down the fire escape and to his car
The Webs We Weave
They arrive at the hospital
John carries Marlena in. Blood is dripping from her clothes. John spots Greta
“HELP ME PLEASE. SOMEONE HELP ME. CARRIE HELP!”
“My God, what has happened?”
“Doc was shot. Where’s Mike?”
Mike comes out of the ER
“My God John what happened?”
“Mike, Marlena was shot. Can you help her?”
Just then Lexie runs up
“What happened? OH no, it’s Marlena.”
“Lexie, clear ER out. We have to take her in and stop the bleeding. What blood type is she?”
“A, B? I don’t know. Just help her.”
Mike and Lexie take Marlena into ER. Then, John begins to cry as he walks up to the window of the ER
“Oh God I can’t lose her, not like this.”
“John she will make it. Marlena’s strong. Plus, look at what she has to look forward to tomorrow.”
Greta arrives and runs up to John
“John what’s going on? Why are you crying?”
“Someone shot Marlena and left her for dead. Now she is in there fighting for her life.”
“Who would do that?”
“I don’t know, but when I find out who did with God as my witness ‘I WILL KILL THEM’.”
Carrie goes to acll the family. We can hear Mike and Lexie talking in the ER, while trying to stop the bleeding.
“I know that you talked to Marlena tonight. Did she tell you anything that might be wrong with her? Like a sickness or something?”
“Oh no. Mike can you handle this? I have to go and check on something.”
“Where are you going?”
“Mike, Marlena might be pregnant.”
Mike talks to himself
“No she can’t be pregnant. If she is, then she could die.”
As Lexie exits the ER, she sees Hope
“Hope, I need your help. Where did Marlena put the envelope with her test results in them?”
“She out them in the waste basket in the examining room. Why?”
“Because she has lost a lot of blood and if she is pregnant, she will have a huge problem.”
Hope and Lexie find the waste basket and the envelope. Lexie grabs the envelope and opens it
“Hope, Marlena is pregnant.”
“She is?”
“We have to tell Mike.”
Lexie and Hope rush into the ER. We than see Mike talking to John
“John, I have some bad news.”
“Oh no. Mike is she going to die?”
“John I truly don’t know that yet. We have stopped the bleeding.”
“Thank God!”
“John, you have to realize, she has lost a substantial amount of blood.”
“How substantial?”
Hope and Lexie run up
“Mike, we need to talk to both you and John.”
“What Lexie? What’s in the envelope?”
“You see, John, after Marlena left St. Luke’s she came here.”
“John do you remember when Marlena said that we would meet at ‘the place’?? Well, the place was here, the hospital. She came here to check on her wedding gift.”
“What?”
“John, Marlena’s gift to you was going to be a baby. She thought that she was pregnant.”
“Was she Hope? Is Doc pregnant?”
Greta butts in
“NO! She can’t be pregnant. She just can’t be!”
“Actually John, she is.”
John’s face lights up. Greta runs off and Carrie follows her
Are you sure?”
“Yes, here are the results.”
“Well, they are right John. You are going to be a father. Yet, her pregnancy complicates everything.”
“How so?”
“She has lost a lot of blood already, John. Now we find out that she is not only fighting for her life, but also for a little child’s. John, unless we can find a donor, that is willing to donate a substantial amount of vblood, Marlena will LOSE HER LIFE.”
“Mike, I need to see her.”
Carrie finds Greta in the hospital chapel and over hears her praying
“Oh Holy Father please forgive me, for I have sinned.”
“Excuse me, what did you just say?”
Greta turns around with a shocked look on her face
“What are you doing here? Are you following me?”
“Why would I follow you? I really don’t know you at all. I came here to pray for Marlena’s recovery.”
“Oh all right”
“Greta are you okay? I saw how you reacted when Mike told John that he was going to be a father.”
Under her breath, Greta makes a smart comment
“Because of Maarlena…”
“What did you say?”
Roman walks by the chapel and hears Carrie and Greta
“Nothing!”
“No you said somethign about Marlena. What did you say??”
“Nothing. I didn’t say anything about poorMarlena. You know why is everyone making a big deal about Marlena getting shot? You know it’s like everyone believes that she is some goddess or something.”
Carrie has a horrified look on her face
“What has come over you, Greta? Nobody believes Marlena is a goddess. Marlena is a great friend and she has touched so many people in this town. Plus, she has children who adore her. She is great to everyone and it just shocks me…”
“What shocks you? You mean my attitude towards Marlena, that’s shocking? Well, it shouldn’t be.”
“And why is that Greta? Why do you hold such a grudge against Marlena?”
Roman takes a notepad and a pencil out of his coat pocket to write down some of Greta’s remarks
“You know Marlena has everything. I mean she has wealth, a family, real friends, and John.”
“What are you getting at Greta? What do you mean she has HJohn? Do you have feelings for him?”
“If I do what’s it to you?”
Greta whispers under her breath
“I wish she would die.”
“I heard you that time Greta. You said you wish Marlena were dead. I can’t believe you. You hateful brat.”
Carrie slaps Greta and Roman walks in
“Greta, I am poutting you under arrest for the attempted murder od Marlena Evans. You have the right to remain silent…”
“Hey what in the heck is going on? You can’t do this. You have NO proof.”
“Guess what little girl, I have about 3 pages of your confession that will get you locked away forever. So, I suggest you keep your mouth shut.”
Roman handcuffs Greta and escourts her out of the chapel
“Where are you taking me?”
“I am taking you to see something
“Always in My Heart”
As John approaches Marlena his eyes fill with tears
“My God, Marlena, after all we’ve been through it can’t end like this. It just can’t”
John kneels beside Marlena’s bed and he begins to pour his heart out. During this time Roman and Greta enter the doorway
“Marlena, tomorrow is our wedding and you can’t miss it. You are the only woman I have ever loved”
John stands up and looks down and smiles at his fair beauty
“Doc, I remember when I first saw you. Do you remember when our eyes first met? It was like everythign around us became invisible. I love you so much. I need to hear your voice and hear your smile. I need that. It’s what keeps me going everyday.”
Greta starts to cry, Therefore Roman takes her out into the lobby
“Do you see now, how they are connected Greta?”
“I see that he might lose her, for real”
“For REAL? Did you think that this whole situation was a dream? You haven’t taken this serious have you? Greta, this is NOT a game.”
“I know that this isn’t a game. You know I didn’t mean to shoot her. I went to her house to scare her. That’s all.”
“Well, you scared her so bad that she thought she was going to be shot.”
“John needs me. He needs a friend. I have to see him”
“NO, you are the lastperson that John needs to see. For Gods sake, the woman that he loves might die because of you.”
“Just then MIke walks into Marlena’s room. Greta and Roman follow him.
“John, it’s time for the surgery”
As John bends over to kiss Marlena, he feels a tear roll down her face. She then whispers to him the words that he had been waiting to hear “I love you”. He then smiles at Mike like a shimmer of joy had just overcome him. Then, Marlena grabe John and tells him that Greta is the one who shot her
Mike takes Marlena away to surgery. John follows him until they get to the operating room. Then John leaves to get into his car. Greta and Roman follow him
HOSPITAL PARKING GARAGE
John stops and punches his car
“I can’t believe that she would do something like this. I trusted her””
“I know that you trusted me, John”
John turns around to see both Greta and Roman atanding there
“Yeah, that’s right, I trusted you and you betrayed me. You tried to kill Marlena. WHY? What did she ever do to you? What? Come on tell me one thing…””
“She loved you. She loved you so much and you loved her in return”
“What kind of answer is that?”
“What do you want me to say, John” Do you want me to her house to kill her? I didn’t!!”
“You didn’t go there to kill her? You had no intentions to kill her?”
“No I didn’t.”
Greta walks towards John and touches his hand, but he awats it away in a massive fury
“Then why did you have a gun with you? Why did you break into our home?”
John looks at Roman
“She did force her way in didn’t she?”
“Yes John she did”
“You see Greta, you try to make this entire situation seem so black and white. The reality of it all is, it’s anythign but black and white. There is a woman in that hospital that might die. The woman that I love might die BECAUSE OF YOU!”
“If you love her so much, then why are you leaving her now? Huh, if she is your so called “world” then why are you leaving?”
“I’m not leaving. I came to get her wedding gift”
John opens his car and pulls out a book
“A wedding gift?”
“Yes, Marlena’s wedding gift. Our wedding is planned for tomorrow, but Mike said that the surgery might take all night; therefore I plan to welcome Doc with a gift that will brighten her day.”
“What is it?”
“Thjat’s none of your concern. In fact what this is or what Doc and I do is NONE of your business.”
“But John….”
“But nothing Greta. You disgust me. Roman take her from me. I never want to see her again!”
“I love you, John.”
“You don’t know the meaning of love”
John starts walking towards the hospital
“John, don’t leave!”
“Greta, GO TO ****!!”
John returns to the hospital and Roman takes Greta to the police station
THE NEXT DAY
We see that John has fallen asleep in a chair outside of the operating room. Roman arrives, as well as Greta. Roman walks over to the nurse’s station and asks if Marlena Evans is out of surgery and she tells him no. After hearing the nurse’s response, Greta walks towards John, but Roman stops her
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“I’m, going to ssee John, Thank You!”
?No! He is sleeping. Don’t wake him up. he needs his rest. plus, Greta I don’t think that he really wants to see oyu.”
“Well, Mr. Brady if you knew that John would not want to see me than why did you bring me here?”
“Greta, listen I came here to check on Marlena and I thought that you might want to apologize to both her and John”
“Roman, the feeling that both John and Marlena have for me right now are not that great. So what is the point in apologizing?”
“I know that you care for John. You made that perfectly clear last night. You also know that in your heart that you can’t allow yourself to go to prison, without apologizing.”
John wakes up and overhears Greta’s commet
“You WILL go to prison. So help me God, you will pay for what you have done!”
Just then Mike comes out
“Mike, How is she?”
Mike’s head is hung low
“John, I am sorry. We did the best we could.”
Tears begin to roll down John’s face
“Mike, please tell me that she made it.”
“John, she fought the whole way through it.”
“DID MARLENA SURVIVE?”
“Yes she made it, but I don’t know how long she will survive. She has lost a lot of blood.”
Greta walks up
“What about the baby. Did it survive?”
Mike looks at Roman
“Did it?”
“John, ity was a girl”
Greta begins to cry
“Oh my it was a beautiful girl. Congradulations, John. I am so happy for you.”
“Thank you Greta.”
Mike takes John’s shoulder
“John, there is something you need to know. John, she was so young she was….”
“What are you saying Mike?”
“You’r baby didn’t make it.”
“Noooooooooooo!”
“I am sorry.”
“You should be. You caused this. That baby meant the world to Doc and me and you took it away. Out of jealousy, you did it out of jealousy. I never want to see you again and if i do, you mark my words ‘I WILL KILL YOU!”
Mike walks up
“John you can see her now”
“Does she know about the baby?”
“No, not yet. John, she may still be asleep. I gave her a secative for the pain and she might feel sightly drowsy”
John enters Marlena’s room. He walks towards her bed. He then notices a radio and he turns it on. An unfamiliar song begins to play
“I love you so much Marlena.”
John then walks towards the window, when a familiar voice speaks
“I love you, John. Forever!”
“Oh, Doc you’re awake”
“When are we getting married?”
“Marlena, I am afraid we are going to have to postpone the weddding for a few days.”
“No! I want to get married now. Right here.”
“You don’t want to get marrried here in the hospital room. You diserve a huge fancy wedding at St. Luke’s”
“Well let’s go then. Right now.”
She begins getting out of bed.
“No! We can’t get married. You can’t leave the hoapital.”
“Why not? WHY CAN’T I LEAVE THIS HOSPITAL? What has happened John?”
John begins to tear up. Marlena notices and grabe his arm
“Doc, there is so much that you don’t know. Everything has changed.”
Just then a song titles “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan begins to play on the radio
Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For a breakthat will make it okay
“John, has something happened to me or our baby? Oh no! Am I going to die? John I don’t want to die.”
And it’s hard at the end of the day
John walks over to thje window and looks out over the town. The he sudenly sees Greta looking in at them throught the hospital window.
“You see Marlena, that person out there did it. She took everything away from us”
“What are you talkign about?”
Just then Greta walks through the door and tells Marlena everything
“Marlena, I’m sorry! I never meant to kill your baby!”
Marlena looks at John and begins to cry. The cong continues
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep through my veins
“Oh God no! My baby is NOT dead! Tell her, John! Tell her that our child is still here inside of me!”
Marlena holds her stomach
John walks yup to Marlena and holds her hand
“Doc, she is right. Our little girl didn’t make it”
Marlena breaks down crying
Let me be empty, oh weightless then maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight
“A little girl? It was a little girl? My little angel. She’s my angel.”
John hugs Marlena
“Yes, Doc. She is our angel now.”
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this star cold hotel room and the endlessness thet you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage, of your silent revery
You in the arms of the angel; May you find some comfort here
Greta breaks the silence
“John, Marlena I am so sorry”
John turns around in a rage and verbally attacks Greta
“My God Greta! When does it end with you? What is going to take for you to comprehend that we DON’T CARE if you’re sorry!?”
Marlena gets up and out of her hospital bed and stops the arguement
“John, please stop. I’m tired of the yelling and screaming. John, please lock the door and shut the blinds. I need to talk to Greta, and I don’t want anyone to disturb us”
“Doc, would you like me to leave?”
“No! Stay here. You need to hear what I have to say.”
John gets up and locks the door, closes the blinds, and turns the radio off. He then sits down and listens to what Marlena has to say
“Okay, Greta, it’s just the three of us. There are no weapons and guess what I’M NOT PREGNANT ANYMORE! So, now we are going to set things straight.”
“What are you talking about Marlnea?”
“Oh no! Don’t even act like you don’t know what I’m talking about. Today was supposed to be my wedding day, but you had to mess things up.You shot me Greta. Do you even realize what you have done?”
“Yes I do. That is why I have been trying to apologize to everyone, especially you and John. I am truely sorry, Marlena. I am. I really am. Do you believe me?”
“Do I believe you? What kind of question is that? My God Greta you tried to kill me and you KILLED MY BABY! There is no justifying your actions! Greta, there is no way I can forgive you.”
“I should have known you wouldn’t forgive me. I shot the town’s precious Marlena Evans and now I am the worse thing next to Hitler. You know I really don’t need to be here. I’m leaving. But before I go, let me tell you both something: First of all, John, I know that you love her, but you can do much better. Oh yeah, Doc, you are nothing special. You are FAKE! Behind those clothes, and that fancy smile, there is an old lady that wishes she looked as good as me. Well, I guess that you teo losers are meant for one another. C-ya.”
Marlena rushes and stops her
“Listen here, you little brat, you are so delouted. We are not the ones losing here, you are. Yes, I will admit when our baby died, a part of us dies too, but you are the one thatis going to prison for life. We swill get past this emotional road block, but this whole experience will haunt you every minute fof your miserable life.”
At this point Marlena has Greta pinned up against the window.
“Listen Marlena, you don’t have to be so mello dramatic. I will never mourn for your daughter! Read my lips: NEVER!”
Just then Marlena rares back and hits Greta. She hits her so hard that Greta loses her balance and falls through the window and to her death.
“Oh no, John. I killed her. I killed Greta.”
Just then Roman and Mike try to get into the room. Inside the room Marlena sinks to the floor crying and John is seen holding her
“John, what are we going to do? I just killed a woman. Now Roman is going to take me to jail. He is going to take me away from you, Belle, Brady. Please help me.”
“Doc, listen to me.”
John takes Marlena’s hand and begins to trace a heart in it.
“Repeat with me, ‘Forever and Always in m yheart you will be.’ Doc, as long as you remember that we will never be apart, we will get through this. I promise.”
John gwipes Marlena’s tears from her face and then he kisses her so tenderly. It is then that Roman finally gets ibn
“What happened here John? Where is Greta?”
“She is dead Roman. I killed Greta.”
