This is such sad news. From what I've read he was a good kind person.
It was a shocker to see in the news.
I'm sure he will leave many family members, friends and people who knew him as John Black sad a teary eyed including myself and the rest of you at Salem Spectator.
I know this was Roman and Marlena's theme back in the 80's and early 90's. Even though Drake's character was never Roman they still used the theme for some of the John/Marlena scenes. I remember during the original possession storyline (1995) when Marlena appeared to be dead they played the melody as John recalled memories of Marlena.
I'm not sure how the writers and producers plan on handling Drake's absence, but if they do have John die off-screen, I hope as a tribute they can bring this tune back during any flashbacks/memories Deidre Hall (Marlena) has.
