Topic: Jack

Many moons ago I was a regular poster here but some of you still might know me. 

I don't know if this was brought up but I love Jack.  He reminds me of Starr when she was little.  He also could pass for Roger's son.  His new haircut...is cute on that note...  

...the cast must have gotten a good deal at a local salon because several of the characters look great with their new styles.  Viki needs a trim soon.  Unless she already did it.  I'm behind a couple of viewing days .

I agree, Starr lost her mojo. I hope something happens that brings it back. izi

Love jack! In RL I'd smack the crap out of him but since he's not my problem..lol I think he's worse than Starr ever was. Starr was never a smart mouth to her parents like Jack is. The other day when he was in the hospital bed & laid back & raised his eyebrow..OMG!! Memoriesssssssssss....I got all weepy. LOL

While it's true that Starr didn't have Jack's smart mouth, I've yet to see Jack call a taxi to be driven across town because he wanted to make something happen. It used to crack me up when Starr would do that. Wanda Wolek

Yeah I loved that she called cabs and run around town. I also loved when she and Asa chatted. Asa liked Star. izi

gemini, the scene you mentioned brought back memories to me too. izi

Wanda, I think Jack runs off at the mouth & if he was as smart as he thinks he is, he wouldn't. If he had other parents he wouldn't be getting away with it. With Starr she was clever & conniving, she was always 1 step ahead of her parents...lol....G

Good point. Jack isn't as smart as Starr was at that age. Too bad that Starr is now dumber than Jack. She lost all her brain cells once the writers started writing her as a starr-crossed soap ingenue. Wanda

So true. I had heard that originally Sole was going to be separated after Higley left. But then GT during writers strike kept it going & because Sole has a nice size fanbase things were changed. Remember when RC started we saw Cole getting close to Langston helping him with homework & stuff? Then it was dropped....G

Well, he's a lot better than Shane. I wouldn't mind seeing a scene with Shane and Jack together and Jack telling him off. I actually thought Jack was going to say something smarta$$ to him the other day during the Halloween costume contest.

For a smart mouth little kid he's not so bad. At least he's funny when he mouths off.

I would love to see Jack put Shane in his place. Jack is smart mouth but huggable, Shane I just want to slap. He's so rude, obnoxious and disrespectful. A real brat. izi

Jack is a prissy faced little smart mouth. I see nothing huggable about him at all. He is every bit as disrespectful of adults as Shane is. Just because Jack is from a family with money doesn't make his smart mouth any more tolerable to me than Shane's smart mouth. I hate them both.

At least Jack is funny whan he mouths off. Shane, I just want to beat him.

I say we trade off beating one with the other. I know others find Jack amusing, but I just find him annoying.

Hi, Izi.

There's some dispute here, but Little smartmouth Jack seems to have won most of us over.  I actually could barely stand Starr in those days, although it was clear she was a good little actress.

The little dude playing Jack is awesome.

I agree, I think this kid has so much tallent. He plays the role so naturally. He isn't a ham. izi.

he might be a ham, but he's top notch, grade A ham! vh
