Members Faulkner Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 Very interesting. I was going to comment that he actually looked engaged today. He previously seemed so stiff, as if he were struggling with physical discomfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 Well at least Jack isn't dying again. I wonder if that will happen when Melissa does finally return full time, to be honest. I hope not. Thank you as always for keeping us in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 Whew for a moment I thought he was fired. I'm not down for witnessing Jack dying again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 Not surprised. I'll bet Jack leaves by Christmas to join Jen in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 I'm not surprised either. I agree lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DynamiteKiddo Posted August 30, 2021 Members Share Posted August 30, 2021 As a huge Jack fan, this is devastating news. Even though I’ll always prefer Missy Reeves as Jenn, if this is happening because she won’t return full-time, then F that. They should’ve hired Cady McClain long-term and then we could be enjoying the characters on-screen as Horton anchors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members David_Vickers Posted August 31, 2021 Members Share Posted August 31, 2021 Co-signed!!!! It is a DISGRACE for Matt Ashford to be off-contract and ESPECIALLY if it's because Missy Reeves doesn't want to return. DAYS, be smart, put Matt back on contract, and re-hire Cady McClain! Maybe this is a temp thing, and Matt will go back on contract, especially if Missy returns on contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted August 31, 2021 Members Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Wow sad to hear this, enjoyed Jack’s story for the past year especially Ashford’s work with McClain. Is Marci Miller suppose to come back as Abby? Wasn’t sure what happened there although I knew she did give birth to a kid a few months back but Days’ schedule makes no sense lol.

Members KMan101 Posted August 31, 2021 Members Share Posted August 31, 2021 I have no idea on Marci/Abby ... I felt like she was done but was it just a long leave? I've always found it interesting that without Missy, they dump Matt, but yet keep Billy Flynn and Rob Wilson with the rotating Abby's and Victoria Konefal coming and going.

Members Vee Posted August 31, 2021 Members Share Posted August 31, 2021 They held onto him a lot longer than I thought this time, given the history. That being said, the way DOOL actors go on and off-contract constantly nowadays I wouldn't be so sure it means that much re: his not remaining with the show. He may well be on a break like many others to keep costs down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted August 31, 2021 Members Share Posted August 31, 2021 A long leave. I know she went to Colorado to have her daughter, and then she road tripped back to California. Soap Opera Digest even claimed she was out on maternity leave; I think she'll be back either next month (September) or around there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted August 31, 2021 Members Share Posted August 31, 2021 Days does tend to use its recurring actors a lot ( Wally, Judy, Martha, Brandon) so we may see Jack a lot. Just means they can pay him less while he's recurring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
