Reunited Finally!
Jack & Jennifer - Finally Reunited Finally after a year of waiting Days of Our Lives has finally reunited my favorite supercouple! I swear I'd almost given up on the show all together...actually I'd resigned to downloading video clips off the internet of Jack & Jennifer and skipping the rest of the show all together. That's how bad the state of the show is today.A little backstory on what happened....we have the Salem Serial Killer who starts killing off our favorite characters, long time veterans of the show actually back in the fall of 2003. Our hearts were torn to pieces watching this happen...especially watching Jennifer say goodbye to Jack...she donated his organs, had a funeral, etc...so our Jack was gone except for the ghostly appearance he made to Jennifer to say a final goodbye. Months later, summer of 2004, Jennifer gets a tip that her husband is alive...she goes to find him and ends up in a plane crash that leaves the pilot dead and her stranded on this island, where Jack is being held captive, along with the other victims of the Salem Serial Killer. We had this wonderful reunion between the two of them in the rain and fans were happy again...We have this wild ride through the jungle with Jack & Jennifer, falling off cliffs, rope bridges breaking, Jennifer stranded on a cliff going in labor with Jack MIA trying to find her; finally the baby is delivered without daddy present...grrrrrr....and we have more island adventures. Finally fall 2004 the island captives escape on life rafts and one speedboat to go home, only to have this huge tidal wave hit and half the captives are missing again, Jack included, presumed dead. We find out that they have been captured yet again by the same presumed dead captor from before and are now being held in a castle overseas. Big sigh...Jack is determined to get back to his one true love and children. He tries to escape many times before finally getting it done and coming home to Salem. He shares a wonderfully romantic reunion with Jennifer, but doesn't get to see his children yet...turns out Jennifer is actually an imposter planted by the captor...Jack is stunned as she rips off a facial mask and reveals her true self to be NOT Jennifer; Jack is taken back to the castle from Salem, yet again. Still following this mess????Finally we get an even more pissed off Jack who digs a tunnel through the castle, finds more of the captives and helps them escape, watches the castle burn to the ground while shooting his evil captor with what I think was a look of glee in his eye:) Can you really blame him? Finally Jack gets home to Salem to learn his daughter was in a tragic car accident (two people died) so he rushes to the hospital to overhear his wife and daughter praying and thanking God for the time they had with him. It's his daughter's 17th birthday...which has been magically rescheduled to April from October (don't you hate when they do this)....so here is Jack at the door with Abby's birthday cake, Abby opens her eyes and says daddy's here...Jennifer turns around and the two rush into each other's arms...FINALLY!!! And happiness happens.I swear sometimes I wonder what I see in this stuff sometimes...Seriously would you have stuck it out this long? With the wonderful performances of Matthew Ashford and Missy Reeves it is definitely worth it....this supercouple has been well super since 1989 so how could you not love them? But we can all wish Days would have better writers....Headache yet? Tylenol anyone?
