I placed the POV tag on this article because it has obviously been written by a Marlena fan, and while that is very nice that people are invested so much in Days, you also have to remember that there is a neutrality policy that we follow here. Flowery prose like "well-respected and much loved psychiatrist" and "very popular character" have to go, and the rest of the article needs a heavy re-edit. Mike H.

[edit] Birthdate

She has been on the show since 1976. She was already a trained psychiatrist when she came to town. You just don't get that training by the age of 20. Please someone get a source and verify this, from a book and not a website, please. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 06:25, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

1956 was on her tombstone, when she "died" in 2004.

Well, can anyone cite maybe a screenshot or something like that? Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 08:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

The tombstones of most of the characters were incredibly false though, and made almost everyone younger than they were. The character of Sami, after aging, was born in 1977. There's no way Marlena had her and Eric when she was 21, when the character was already a psychiatrist, and had already been married before. --Harlequin212121 07:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
