“Marlena’s weak. She’s exhausted. It’s an endof-life moment,” recounts her portrayer, Deidre Hall. “She’s so relieved to be with John. It’s the only place she would want to be.”

The couple reflects on their many years together. “It’s tender and romantic,” remembers Hall. “It’s heartfelt. Marlena feels gratitude for her life with John, the depth of the love she shared with him. What we have in this scene is John and Marlena flashing back on their love story. It’s dreamy. It’s the kind of thing the audience loves and that Ron [Carlivati, head writer] writes so well. It’s the history, the backstory, the richness and the emotion of it.”
