The only reason John would be brought down would be if Drake decided to leave DAYS. I doubt that. John will not kill Stefano because he would not stay dead, and why waste the effort. That leaves John teaming with Marlena. Then you have to wonder how long that will last.
Since the DAYS executive staff (or is it one man) can't seem to keep all their oars in the water, does anyone even know if the show will be on next week.
