On the December 29 episode of Days of our Lives, Roman dropped in on his grieving ex-wife, gave her some soup, and took her out for a walk… and a stroll down memory lane. Is this the show’s way of testing the waters for a Marlena and Roman reunion?
Key Takeaways
- Marlena is a lonely widow.
- Roman left Kate to hang out with her sons.
- They reminisced about their marriage and time with Carrie and the twins.
On My Own
Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Belle (Martha Madison) left their Christmas celebration with Marlena (Deidre Hall) to take Rachel (Alice Halsey) back to Bayview. (Why this required both of them, we don’t know.) She was all alone when Roman (Josh Taylor) stopped by with soup… and memories. Remember when Sami (Alison Sweeney) and Eric (Greg Vaughan) kept getting sore throats? Remember when Carrie (Christie Clark) loved looking at holiday lights? Remember when we were a happy family?
The Boys
Marlena tried to talk Roman into going home to his own family, which includes Kate (Lauren Koslow), who was hanging out with Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier). Roman brought Marlena along. Kate didn’t mind. But maybe she should?
The Way We Were
We all know what happens when exes start swapping stories about the good old days. It’s not just the memories that come back. It’s the feeling that accompanies those memories. John (Drake Hogestyn) was the love of Marlena’s life. But Roman got their first. The family Marlena and John originally built was based on the family Marlena and Roman built.
Sure, hearts were broken when Belle turned out to be John’s and not Roman’s. But that wound healed a long time ago. Marlena will never get over John. She will never move on. But she just might move back in time….
