Tuesday, March 4, was an eventful day of Days of Our Lives. It marked the start of what will be an extremely heartbreaking story. It’s time to discover what happened to John Black and why he has been MIA for so long. Plus, Xander and Philip put their plan of taking over DiMera into action.
John is Missing
Shane (Charles Shaughnessy) called Marlena (Deidre Hall) and told her the bad news. John is missing, and nobody knows where he is, not even his handler. This is the story that DAYS Executive Producer Ken Corday said Drake Hogestyn approved before his heartbreaking death in September 2024. It’s finally starting.
The call interrupted her conversation with Cat (AnnaLynne McCord), although her new assistant couldn’t help but overhear. As a result, Cat asked her boss what was wrong, and Marlena told her about her husband’s undercover work. However, “he has gone radio silent for a very long time.”
Marlena also explained that at one point, she reached out to the ISA and got special permission to talk to John, but she never reached him. She’s been so worried and knows there are only two reasons for what is going on: He’s either gone rogue or “that something terrible has happened.”
Later, when she was alone, Marlena flashed back to their iconic reunion on the pier (when she thought John was Roman). And she then proceeded to shatter our hearts when she said, “I can’t count the number of times our love has brought us back together. I hope we get to have it again.”
The Kiriakis Bros Team Up
Meanwhile, at the Kiriakis mansion, Xander (Paul Telfer) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) worked together to get what they wanted: DiMera Enterprises. To do this, Xander had the head of the DiMera board, a skeptical Wei Shin (the great Clyde Kusatsu), flown in from Hong Kong.
Together, the Kiriakis brothers changed Shin’s mind. They were confident, and they complemented each other perfectly. When one would zig, the other would zag, and by the end of their meeting, Shin was not only impressed but on board. Xander and Philip are about to flip his vote.

But first, Shin needed to head back and talk to his associates. So it’s not a done deal, and who knows, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) and EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) will probably get a whiff of what’s going on, and then all hell will surely break loose. For now, Xander and Philip rejoiced and realized they really did make a great team. It was beyond good to see, even though it’s all based on one big whopper of a lie.

ETC.
What did you think about Marlena’s call? How about Xander and Philip seamlessly working together? There was also Joy’s (AlexAnn Hopkins) potential pregnancy to deal with, and Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) and Joy possibly working at Titan. Finally, if Leo’s (Greg Rikaart) story gets published, it might have a major effect on this takeover business. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
