Here's Who Should Have Written John's Obituary On Days of our Lives
John's obituary became a main topic after his recent death on Days of our Lives, but if you ask us, it wasn't written by the right person.
Salem has always been filled with writers, from Jack (Matthew Ashford) and Abigail (Marci Miller), to its latest, Leo (Greg Rikaart). Leo started at The Spectator as Lady Whistleblower, and now works as the paper's investigative reporter. So when the time came for John's (the late Drake Hogestyn) obituary, the job automatically went to Leo.

Granted, Leo did have a connection with John, once believing he was his father. But the actual Salemite who had the closest relationship with John and a way with words is Will (Chandler Massey).
Will has become an established writer, his most notable work being A Very Salem Christmas. But despite his return to Salem to say goodbye to his grandfather, he wasn't asked to pen his obituary. Instead, the job fell to one of his biggest enemies.

Ironically, this isn't the first time Leo snagged a writing job meant for Will. When Kate (Lauren Koslow) and Abe (James Reynolds) were seeking a head writer for Body & Soul, Will was Kate's first choice. But when her grandson turned it down, the job ultimately went to Salem's signature writer, Leo.
Do you think Will would have been a better fit to write John's obituary? Let us know in the comments.
