Belle's comment

[lasagna]

When Belle was "saying goodbye" to Marlena shee said that she was the only child of "the love of Marlena's life". This comment bothered me. The twins were also born from a great love. Roman and Marlena were a "super couple" back in the day.

She wasn't wrong. John is the love of Marlena's life. It doesn't negate that Marlena loved Roman when they had Eric and Sami.

At one time Roman was the love of her life. The writers tend to ignore facts like that as it suits them.

John is the love of Marlena’s Life

Roman was the love of Marlena's life until the early 90's when she went realized that she really loved John and couldn't stay away from him when she was back with Roman when he returned from.the "dead".actually being held hostage by Stefano.

I do think John is the love of Marlena's life. But I didn't care for Belle's statement at all! It was super selfish! Not only is that moment not about Belle, but it implies that Marlena loves her other kids less because of who their fathers are. That's ludicrous. Marlena loves Carrie too, and Carrie's neither Marlena nor John's daughter.

Belle is extremely self-centered and selfish. She always has been. She's the same spoiled brat she always was. Everyone likes to overlook it in favor of bashing Sami, but part of their problem as sisters is that they're so alike in that area. She views everything through that lens. Even her own daughter's life.

I hate that the writers crap on the OG Roman and Marlena lovestory. Roman was the true love of Doc's life.
John is basically a knockoff of OG Roman.

Yep Belle is selfish, She really showed that when she returned in 2015.

Only old people will remember, but Marlena had a baby boy that dies of SIDS. Don Craig was the father.

And had Isabella lived, John very well may have stayed with her all these years. Brady was also conceived out of great love. Belle's a twit.

IA the comment was selfish and frankly silly. I know John is the love of Marlena's life but it does not mean she love her other kids less. The writing can be ridiculous at times and this was one of it.

I don’t think that Belle meant that they loved her more. She is just proud to be the result of their love. I don’t see anything wrong with that statement.

[JackandJenfan]

Me neither. It doesn't matter how many men Marlena loved and married. Belle wasn't wrong.

A typical comment for self centered Belle.
