JJ's Opinion Of Jack (Read 44 times)

[Deleted]

When JJ first returned to Salem, he appeared to be Jack's biggest fan and Jennifer's worst critic.  After discovering that his father raped Kayla, his anger and disgust for Jack were palpable. Just recently during a conversation with Paige, she made reference to JJ being just like his father and he was quick to shoot that idea down.

Has JJ's opinion of Jack completely changed for the worse or do you think he has accepted Jack's mistake and forgiven him for it? Viewers were never given a clear understanding of JJ's feelings about it, even after his conversation with Kayla.

Is JJ ashamed of Jack? Do you think that the news about his marriage to Eve will do even more to sour Jack's memory?

Oh I definitely think JJ is going to be upset when he learns about his father and Eve, includnig the reason for the sham of a marriage. Hopefully he will come to appreciate that Jack did it to save the newspaper and lots of jobs in the process.

Like most kids, I think JJ has mixed feelings about Jack and it's probably hard to reconcile the father he remembers with the information that's coming out bit by bit. Coupled with the fact that Jack was often an absentee parent, it would be hard for JJ to defend his father. I just hope JJ doesn't turn back to drugs when the next bombshell drops.

Jack seemed to be gone a big part of JJ's life. I'd like to hear JJ talk about his dad to Daniel or Lucas.

 This is what made JJ's admiration for Jack so confusing. I guess he had a selective memory. He certainly doesn't seem to be bragging about Jack like he used to.

Was Lucas even in Jack's orbit at all? I don't remember how much, if anything, he even knew about him.
