By request: a thread of various times John has rescued Salemites. It’s not just Marlena rescues, either! Settle in for some classic #Days.

We begin in 1986 when John saved Melissa from the hospital rapist, with an assist from Marlena #days #Jarlena

Also in 1986, John rescued Marlena from Orpheus, with an assist from Steve, Kayla and Hope #days #Jarlena

In 1997, John risked his life and nearly died in the jungle to save Roman #days #Jarlena

This rescue in 1996 didn’t go very well as John was knocked out as he finally reunited with Marlena #days #Jarlena

A few weeks later, John was able to complete the rescue. These things don’t always go as planned #days #Jarlena

One of the most underrated rescues ever, the time John repelled up the side of the Eiffel Tower to save Aunt Viv. John and Vivian were ❤️ #days #Jarlena

Then there was the time John saved the majority of the 20-somethings after their plane crashed. Chad, Gabi, Eli, Lani, JJ, Sonny and Jungle Madness Paul #days #Jarlena

This was an ill advised rescue as John tried to save who he thought was a stranger from drowning and he ended up kidnapped by Gina #days #Jarlena

John saved Nicole once, too, with some teamwork with Brady #days #Jarlena

Even Tate got saved by Grandpa John #days #Jarlena

In 2018, John, Paul and Hope saved Marlena, Vivian and Kate #days #Jarlena

A bit of an indirect rescue but here, John got Leo to drop the charges against WilSon and got him to divorce Sonny. WilSon were free to be together #days #Jarlena

John found Marlena in Bayview and promptly got locked in there with her. Because these things don’t always go smoothly #days #Jarlena

John threw a bomb off the plane and then landed the tampered plane when Rolf decided to play with the lives of Alice, Doug, Julie, Marlena, Bo, Belle, Mimi, Shawn, Eric, Greta and Lily #days #Jarlena

Here’s a surprise rescue. To everyone’s shock, John saved Stefano by carrying him out of the burning chateau #days #Jarlena

Dressing in head to toe leather for the Graceland Wedding, John saved Marlena and Kristen from the secret room. Kristen was basically on her own as John focused on Marlena #days #Jarlena

Another plane crash rescue from 2008. This time John landed a plane carrying Bo, Hope, Marlena, Shawn, Belle, Claire, Chloe, Philip, Steve and Kayla #days

John gave Claire a necklace that tracked her location and they were able to save her from Orpheus #days #Jarlena

RoboJohn want even fully back to being John yet when he saved Marlena from Charlotte Taylor. John was paralyzed because of this rescue #days #Jarlena

This isn’t exactly a rescue but it did lead to Nicole and Holly being rescued and ended Kristen’s reign of terror. The unmasking. Epic. #days #Jarlena

John used a map on Bart’s back to find the island that Stefano had stranded Tony on for over two decades #days #Jarlena

John ignored his own gunshot wound to save numerous lives at the Coronation Massacre #days #Jarlena

Stefano tried to blow up Bo and Hope. Bo thanked John for risking his life to save them and John reminded Bo that he would do the same for him 😭😭😭😍😍😍 #days #Jarlena

John saved Marlena from certain death in the cold water off of Aremid, hours after John himself nearly died in the gas chamber #days #Jarlena

This is the 25th clip in this series of John rescues. There are more but I wanted to end here with a rescue no one else in soaps can claim. John rescuing Marlena’s soul from the devil. #days #Jarlena

“The devil is gone, John.” 😍😍😍😍😍😍 #days #Jarlena

After months of torture, John finally saved Marlena, and us, from Alex North 😂😂😂😂😂😂 #days #Jarlena

This concludes the clip series titled John rescues Salem. By my count, he saved 35 Salemites just in this set of clips. Thanks for joining me and thank you for the suggestion @xotonironixo and @sixxers #days #Jarlena
