Jack's Back! Matthew Ashford Returns to Days of Our Lives as Jack Devereaux!

Soaps In Depth is reporting that Matthew Ashford will be returning to Days of Our Lives as Jack Devereaux. According to SID:
"He will be bringing the character...back to Days of Our Lives later this month." 
I'm not entirely sure if they mean he'll begin filming in a month or we'll actually see him on air then.

No doubt DAYS fans will be excited over this news. While Ashford is a soap vet, with stints at General Hospital, One Life to Live and Search For Tomorrow, his signature role is redeemed rapist/funny rapscallion Jack on DAYS - arguably one of the most popular characters in the shows long history.

What stories would you like to see for Jack? I'm sure he'll reconnect with his daughter Abby and the love of his life Jennifer. Certainly there's a Jack/Jennifer/Daniel love triangle coming. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I'd love for them to give Jack/Jennifer a break for awhile. While they were brilliant back in the day, I've felt that they've gotten a little tired in later years. It's the same dynamic over and over again: Jack's irresponsible and Jennifer nags him. I'd love to see Jack in a new relationship, with a different kind of woman. Your thoughts?

  1. They need to give Jack new love interest maybe bring back Greta for him give shot I do not want see jack use Greta again I really want see some love between the two and let Jennifer be one to find out that she has made mistake of jumping in bed with Daniel and everything else. Jennifer is one who needs therapy and to win Jack back.

  2. I am sick tired of anyone blaming Jack for everything I think the guy deserves break and I do not care if Jennifer is Horton or not she needs to stop playing Ms Saint start to realize she is not perfect either and she moved quickly with Daniel without knowing all the facts about Jack. I hope she is one the ends up like fool at the end. I do not want see Jack grovel to that slut anymore she deserves Daniel they deserve each other. I want someone better for Jack they need to bring Greta or Billie female companion not make jennifer jealous but let her be one to win jack back.

  3. I would love to see a new love interest for Jack. Real love interest! Jennifer and Jack are supposed to be true love/soul mates! Every turn and every motion this man has made in their life together, she has given him conditions to follow instead of unconditional love! I want someone to show unconditional love to Jack and for him to see that there could be other options for him. His now ex wife is not perfect and everything is not his fault all the time but she shares equal blame. I want them to eventually come back together but for him to move on past her briefly and for her to realize that she just let the love of her life, her soul mate go and she needs to change as well if she wants him back. Then let that be the last time days goes down path with this couple again! After this they can have differenct problems but not this same old tired story. Let them solve their own issues with themselves and each other then realize that the only true person/ love of their lives is each other!
