Oh I'm not looking forward to this. I cry enough as it is about real life sadness in my family right now (we have had an abnormally high number of deaths in just the last 2 years, including 3 young persons, 1 young person being my cousin at just 22 years old, and then 3 months later my dad as he was only 64 and the "baby" among his siblings). Anyway, and I just buried his oldest sister 2 days ago, and my grandmother the week of my birthday.
Y'all, I am NOT ok and NOT ready to watch this on screen. I'm already crying about it and I haven't even read the article about it. I'm so sad!
2025 looks promising though. My oldest cousin is going to be a grandma for the first time! Baby boy will be here by April.

(WATCH) DAYS Eric Martsolf Reveals ‘Hardest Day’ was Taping John Black’s Memorial Knowing Drake Hogestyn ‘Gave His Blessing’ Before He Passed
Days of our Lives had already taped John Black’s memorial and death prior to Drake Hogestyn’s passing in September of this year. The beloved enduring star of the soap opera had already been off the show for many months, before giving his OK to executive producer, Ken Corday for the show to tell...

It seems Drake Hogestyn (John) was well aware he was terminal, thus gave his o.k. to it all. I am glad the cast was able to do it before Drake passed away, and am also glad the show did not try to keep John alive by sending him off to Europe, or Africa, and just decide to "stay" there.
It will be hard to watch, I know, especially for viewers who have lost loved one, whether recently or in the past. John has been such a fixture, such a hero, such an integral part of Days for so long, it seems impossible we won't be seeing him much longer. May he rest in peace.
