When Marlena learns what Kristen has done

[varlena]

Will she still think she's a good partner for Brady?

[JackandJenfan]

She already doesn't.

[dee2]

The way Marlena has been acting toward Kristen and Ben, she will most likely understand it all, even if it seems off for Marlena to be so understanding
of the two.

[dee2]

She hasn't been so understanding of 'Stefano' or Orpheus lately, but she's practically Ben's mother now and is so understanding of Kristen.

[JackandJenfan]

Well Orpheus threatened her and Marlena just helped Steve right after her surgery. And "Stevano" almost raped Marlena.

[dee2]

And if not for Rolfe, Ben would have killed her grandchild. Won't list the things Kristen has done.

She's been understanding of Ben since he was her patient dee2 and she has said many times she thought he was innocent, so I don't begrudge her attitude towards him.

Regarding Kristen, well, I still can't get that scene at the hospital out of my head. I mean I get Marlena being empathetic in a psychiatrist type way, but she was sitting so close to her and was rubbing her shoulder that I thought they were going to hug or worse (double ). So I hope this incident with Victor reopens her eyes, especially if spoilers are true about the actions Brady takes to protect Kristen. John and Marlena need to be united and slap some sense into their son and get their granddaughter away from Kristen.

I have never cared for Marlena's involvement in Ben's affairs. I think she should have excused herself when she was asked to participate
in any way concerning if he should be released from the hospital. Her family was part of his spree of killing. But, of course now Will is his
good friend and Marlena, his mother figure.
