Hurrah! Yes, it's time for exciting news from the world of Days Of Our Lives. John Black has awoken!
Fly the flags, let the balloons go, swing from your chandeliers. The Salem Superman is back among the living, after being shot and left for dead nearly six months ago. All this time in a coma, and he was released from hospital the day after he woke up. :D Yep, John's back, and he's bringing the silly storylines back with him. Hurrah!
But it doesn't end there. Uh uh. Not only is John back. Not only is Stefano back. Not only is Bart back. But... Doctor Rolf has returned! Last seen dead, if I remember correctly, though bugger knows when. I really should remember something like that, but I don't. Sorry Rolf. If it was during the mad serial killer storyline a few years back that he got killed, that makes his return simple enough to explain. After all, half the town got murdered back then, and then turned out to be okay really. And given how many times assorted DiMeras have died and yet failed to be dead, it's only fair that their minions be similarly indestructible. Anyways - Doctor Rolf! King of the mad stare and the damn silly disguise. Installer of microchips in brains, and official reprogrammer of identities. I think it's safe to say that the requisite bits are now in place for some seriously daft plotlines. Stefano DiMera? Check. Rolf and Bart? Check. John Black? Check. Throw in Tony DiMera for good measure, and we're away. And just to get the ball rolling, John's already leapt in at the deep end by stowing away on Tony's boat today, to find out what he's up to. Just to recap, folks... a couple of days after awakening from a six month coma, John has snuck onto the boat of his sort-of half-brother, in order to find out what he's up to. And let us not forget that this is the same half-brother who (back in the days when they weren't half-brothers yet, but let's not get into the ins and outs of that bit of plotting) killed himself, and framed John for murder. How the bloody hell Tony got out of that one, Rassilon knows. Although... was that when Tony was still André, or André was Tony, or... something? Bugger knows. I'm hoping for a nice confrontation, anyway. Last time Tony and John had a fight, there were swords. Swords are good.
And I reckon John must have a lot of pent-up energy after having spent the last six months in bed. Big fight scene, please. Or several big fight scenes. I'm not fussy.
The signs are good that it will be a very silly summer in Salem. :)

Stefano and John, or The Phoenix and his favourite plaything.
Television just got 812% sillier. And that's a fact. ;)
