Days of Our Lives: The Marlena Possession Arc
We're levitating as we cover the 90s storyline that introduced the supernatural into soap operas and changed daytime TV forever! Chels from The Q Division and And a Rewatch Podcast helps us prep our exorcisms as we get into the history of this extremely long-running soap, and how the O.J. Simpson trial led to the literal Devil possessing Deidre Hall's popular character Marlena Evans. We talk huge nuts, wedding crashers and plane crashes, deep voice filters and practical effects, the obvious parallels to The Exorcist, and how soap operas are the foundation for most of the television we love.
