The Possession of Marlena

For those that are Days of Our Lives fans, and care, tonight there is a three episode marathon on Soapnet. It’s from the 1995 Possession of Marlena storyline. That’s the storyline where I first started watching, so I’m definitely going to tape it. It’s from 8 PM until 11 PM, CST, I think. You can read a bit about what the episodes are in the comments to this post.

I went over to Youtube to see if anyone had uploaded anything from that storyline--and I found part of an episode that aired shortly after I first started watching. Marlena morphs into a demon and throws Stefano off the balcony. For those that wonder, Stefano landed in a tree and fell the rest of the way.

This led to Stefano having amnesia--until he was struck by lightning a little later, I think. You can see the pitiful demon effect here. Back then, I thought it was scary. I was probably only 13 ½. Oh, and the day I started watching was the day before Tony (these days they say it was Andre) killed himself to frame John.

And here’s part of the morgue battle to save Marlena’s soul. I can’t find the rest, which includes an angel (disguised as a homeless person) exorcising Marlena. If I could find that part, it would also include after she was freed, when John carried her body into the church. Caroline looked at him, and said “Oh, John. How could you?” because everyone thought she was still dead. He looked at Marlena and looked up, and said “Show them what you showed me.” She said hi to everyone and people cried.

EDIT: Never mind. I did more searching and found that scene I described. You can watch it here. I still haven’t found the rest of the battle in the morgue.
