Google for Jack and Jennifer clips (and Steve and Kayla) and you will come across a goldmine of clips that will tell you the entire story of the Johnson family - from Steve's arrival onto the show to Jack and Jennifer's first wedding.
And, oh my, if there isn't a boatload of pain, heartache... from Joy garrett's achingly wonderful portrayal of Jo Johnson, to Steve Nichols and Matt Ashford playing long-lost-brothers with so much history of pain between them.
Matt Ashford is one of the best actors out there, and Steve Nichols is incredible too. Watching the two interact has always been a treat.
Ken Corday let go of an incredible amount of potential for amazing storytelling when he decided that "Jack" had to leave with "Jennifer".
Days today is all about the couples. The only time people interact with others is to whine about their significant other, or plot to steal someone elses significant other.
There is no more warm and loving family or friend interaction for the sake of it, and that is the glue that holds the show together.
I'm saddened to see that a show that I watched from 1965-1992 and then started watching again when Steve and Matt and Mary Beth returned is still going to be so terrible.
It's not too late for NBC to fix this, but I'm guessing these pleas will fall on deaf ears.
score 1/10
