Days of Our Lives' John Black and Marlena Evans' Romance Timeline
Days of Our Lives' John Black and Marlena, played by the late Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall, had a long onscreen romance
The fictional Days of Our Lives duo, played by the late Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall, respectively, were first introduced on the show in 1986, and soap opera fans have seen the ups and downs of their relationship throughout the series, whose 60th season premiered in August 2024.
