Past Storyline Information:

THE KRISTEN/SUSAN/JOHN/MARLENA SAGA

Kristen locked Marlena in a secret room that she built for Susan. She did this because Marlena knows a lot about the evil things that she has done and she is going to tell John so that he will leave Kristen and be able to be with her. Things do not go as planned for Kristen however! Susan wants to be with her "husband" John and she locks Kristen in the room with Marlena. She then dresses, walks, talks, etc. like Kristen and John believes that she is Kristen. She has everyone in town fooled!

Everything is going perfectly for her and John until Susan's twin sister, who happens to be a sister, Sister Mary, comes to see Susan. Susan/Kristen said that she left and gives the nun a letter that Susan wrote. Before Susan's sister leaves she tells John about an Elvis tatoo Susan has; Marlena and Kristen continue watching John seduce Susan, who he thinks is Kristen. He has planned a romantic night for the two of them, which includes giving Susan/Kristen a sexy and short piece of lingerie, which would expose Susan's tatoo. This is what Marlena is hoping for, yet Susan outsmarts everyone once again by wearing socks with the nightgown and slippers. John, of course, wants to take them off and when he finally does, there is a band-aid over the tatoo. She said she cut herself shaving. She thinks she got herself off the hook until John presents her with an anklet, which he says he is going to put on the next day after ripping away the band-aid. What's Susan going to do next?;

Meanwhile, Kristen is going crazy from being trapped with Marlena in the secret room. She is eating the fatty foods that Susan has given her and is pacing all over the room. She is still convinced that Stephano will come to save the day soon!

Kristen and John's wedding day arrives. Susan is still posing as Kristen. She changed all of the wedding plans. John's tux is converted into an Elvis outfit! Everyone else in the wedding party also have crazy costumes. They all figure that the bridal company mixed things up and go on as planned. They get married and are about to cut their wedding cake, which has a pink cadillac on top, and Laura walks in. She has woken up from the coma that Lynn, who had been hired by Stephano, put her into. She accuses Kristen of helping Stephano and Peter erase her memory, after Peter's supposive death. She gets in a cat fight with Susan, who is a little tipsy from all of the champagne she has had. Susan's false teeth go flying into Vivian's drink! Everyone realizes that "Kristen" is Susan. She then tells John where Marlena and Kristen are.

John rescues them in the nick of time, since Kristen had started a gas leak trying to escape from the room. Marlena is unconscious at first. Kristen takes advantage of the situation and pleads with John to marry her right away. The wedding is in progress when Marlena wakes up and walks in and declares that Kristen as evil as Stephano, the man who raised her. John does not believe what she is saying at first. They call in Susan, who is scared of Stephano and Kristen, who says that Kristen had the baby, not her as Marlena has said. Susan confesses however, when Marlena tells her that the baby will be put in the real mother, Kristen's hands forever. John is shocked! Desperate to hold on to the man that she loves, Kristen grabs a police officer's gun and holds John and Marlena hostage. John wrestles her for the gun, it goes off, yet no one is hurt. Kristen, Vivian, and Ivan are sent to jail and John finally gets a chance to hold Doc in his arms.

Marlena invites Susan and little Elvis to live with her. She also tells John that he can live with her and the children since he cannot live at Kristen's anymore. They kiss passionately and tell one another that they have never stopped loving each other. John asks Marlena if he wants to go to the bedroom with him. He carries her off into the sunset (actually up the stairs) like a knight on a white horse!

All was great for John and Marlena for awhile, yet as the day came for them to walk down the aisle Kristen showed up with Marlena's supposively dead ex-husband Roman. What are Kristen and Stephano up to now? Who will Marlena choose to spend the rest of her life with? John or Roman? Tune in to find out.
