Members carolineg Posted May 23, 2022 Members Share Posted May 23, 2022 I think the one thing Jax had going for him is he was generally liked by the audience. He was a good guy that could be Sonny's mortal enemy with solid reasons. I think there was an effort to make Jax/Ingo a leading man after Brenda's death, but unfortunately he has trouble standing out without a strong leading lady. He was always a good contrast to Sonny. I would agree that most of his stories were unmemorable, but he was popular enough to keep around. I think (until recently) there were always more problematic characters to get rid of and Jax was able to ride his Brenda/Jax popularity until Carly and then was able to ride that until Ingo made it impossible. That may actually be helping your argument, but I never thought "ugh, why is Jax still here?" if that makes sense. I was always thinking why are they using Jax so poorly instead. The mixed marrieds was a good story and probably the best on Jax got outside Brenda/Carly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted May 18, 2023 Members Share Posted May 18, 2023 On this side of the pond I'd say that prime examples of characters that ate (and continue to eat) their show are Emmerdale's Cain, Charity and Debbie Dingle, together with the rest of their vile family. They have taken over this show like a disease and infected every aspect of it. Now it's rotten to the core and probably beyond salvation....
