Additional Comments: Nice scene yesterday with Carly & Parker. Very well done & nice to see these two supporting one another. Nice touch that Parker let Carly know that Jack went to see her at rehab to alert her about Craig & Ro. I must admit I was disappointed that Jack didn't even speak to his children that he was leaving town. That could have been handled way better by Jack. What is fast becoming apparentĀ is that those who "truly" love Jack & are concerned about him are Carly & Parker. This is the second or third time that TPTB have ommitted any reference to JJ as part of the family. A pattern has emerged.

I agree with you Marty.
Carly, in her defense, didn't set out to leave town. She saw Jack on the roof and panicked. And she did tell Parker where she was going... it is clear something she views as a day trip at this point, and she does come back, because Lindstrom (Linstrom?) have scenes in Carly's living room this week.
It occurred to me I can guess how care for the kids will be dealt with - I predict Carly will get Molly to go to Oakdale to be with them now that she's on the outs with Ro.
I personally can't wait until Janet realizes what's going on.
I miss JJ too, but I think he's out of the picture, never to be mentioned again. I think TIIC finally realized the damage his existence did to Carly and Jack. Now, I never had a problem with Jack stepping up and parenting that boy, but other fans of the couple did, so they may think it is best to close that chapter, since the story was so botched.

Message: Marty, I am still trying really hard with this but I have to say that ITA with your statement that Jack needed to handle this better with his kids. In fact, I am really annoyed that BOTH parents have now taken off without a word to the kids as to when they are coming back. Who's taking care of Sage and Parker? Certainly not Janet. Craig and Ro are busy chasing after Carly and Carly didn't even bother to tell them that she was going so they couldn't have been watching them anyway even if they were two irresponsible slugs. Carly really needs to come home now that Jack is off that roof. Her kids really need her and Jack needs professional help. They can bond while Jack is getting help. This is just starting to look a little narcissistic.

Carly & Parker scenes have always been A#1 and not only with Mick as Parker, but all the other Parkers' as well. Mother and son just jive, even when in disagreement.
Jack isn't thinking straight, that's why he bolted out of town without mentioning a word to anyone. It's understandable, yet I'm not liking this 'road tour' -- I've wanted Jack to fall from grace for years because of his treatment of Carly, but I don't wish to see a flipped out Jack at all. And having beloved ex-cast members such as Peter Paros ..... only for a one-scene deal, is a great, great tease and a complete letdown. I've missed his beautiful voice, and I want to hear it more!
And more!
It is a disgrace the way TIIC have handled JJ and the no-show that they let him become. JJ and Carly had a special rapport and JJ adored Carly -- showed it more than Sage or Parker at the time. It's a disgrace, pure and simple, having him completely out of the picture as such.
