John Black and Dr. Marlena Evans became a supercouple in 1986 on the American soap opera Days of Our Lives. Drake Hogestyn (John Black) joined the show that year and his chemistry with Deidre Hall (Dr. Marlena Evans) was undeniable. At the time, Hogestyn played Roman Brady, and he and Marlena were married until she "died" in a plane crash in 1987.
The pair's romance in the 80's was short-lived, but it left an indelible mark on Days of Our Lives fans and the soap opera world.
In 1991, Hall returned to Days of Our Lives, and reprised her role as Dr. Marlena Evans. Fans have clamored for John and Marlena to be together ever since. And after some wonderful stories throughout the 90's, they have solidified their status and standing as Days of Our Lives' leading supercouple.
Still going strong today, John & Marlena remain the only supercouple on Days of Our Lives to have been played by the same two actors during their entire run on the show. That says a lot considering John & Marlena's passion-filled, I'd-die-for-you history spans nearly 20 years.
