Hello from Indiana! | #263 | ||
|
I thought I'd introduce myself too, since I've already posted a couple times.
First Name: Nancy Where you are from: I grew up in Beaumont, Texas, but I currently live in West Lafayette, Indiana. Birthday: Dec. 9 How long you have been a fan of Jack and Jennifer: Since I got into Days of Our Lives in 1990. They were the main reason I got addicted to Days. Wow, that's almost 20 years now. Oh my gosh!!! What moment made you a life long fan of Jack and Jennifer: I had found them appealing right off the bat, but I had missed some of their more serious moments. I got into DOOL and Jack and Jennifer the summer of 1990 while I was home from high school. At that point I had missed a lot of earlier moments and got in on the tail of the Cruise of Deception, just in time to see them make love, but not knowing their history. I thought they were hot and had a lot chemistry, but when my fanhood went to the next level was when Jack accidentally killed Harper. Jack's pain was palpable. My heart went out to him. And when Jennifer came to him afterwards and turned his face towards hers and hugged him.... It moved me like no other soap opera had. I knew they were special. I started recording the show on VHS when I went back to school - I'd never liked a soap enough to do that before! I still have those VHS tapes tucked away in my room, along with my J&J collages and clippings. Since I started so late in the storyline, though - and I occasionally would miss an episode - the clips here delighted me in their comprehensiveness. Occupation: I teach at Purdue while I'm pursuing my PhD. I hope to graduate this spring. Why my nickname: My usual name for boards is SodaScouts (long story). I wanted to keep a part of that but add something J&J-related. I thought of that popular drink where you mix soda and Jack Daniels whiskey - perfect! Meeting Matt: I put that in the Fan Encounters forum - it's the Lubbock one. Anything else you might want to add: There is one J&J moment that is so intense it garnered the most emotional response I have ever had to a soap opera or indeed the vast majority of television shows: when Jennifer called Jack a rapist and slapped him. By this time I was fully aware of his rape of Kayla and how hard it was for him to come to terms with it and find himself worthy of love - and how tenuous that feeling of self-worth was. I gasped and cried "NO!" Then, as the scene progressed, I literally jumped off the couch saying "Jennifer TELL HIM, TELL HIM, TELL HIM! What, you're saying you're STRESSED? STRESSED?! I can't believe this! Stop it, stop the BS! You have to TELL HIM!! Don't let him leave!" I was heartbroken for him and Jennifer both. THAT is acting, that can elicit a response like that - to this day, I can remember it very clearly.

Sort of New to Board | #269 | ||
|
First Name: Marsha
Where you are from: Florida Birthday: September 26th How long you have been a fan of Jack and Jennifer: Since around 1991 I wanna say. But I only like Matt Ashford and Missy Reeves as Jack and Jen What moment(s), made you a life long fan of Jack and Jennifer: During the Cruise of Deception when the two made love for the first time. Occupation: Well I work at a coffee shop on the campus of the college I go to. So I am just a student for now. Taking it one semester at a time. :-) Anything else you might want to add: I am sort of new to the board. I've visited a few times before but I've never really posted. Something went a little crazy with Yuku and somehow I've ended up with two profiles...hmmm...interesting. So if you see another one jezzfan.soapoperatrading that's me. I think it is because the daytime central was taken over by Yuku and when I came to The Connotator I was logged in still. But, I'm confident that I will get the hang of it. :-) I became a big fan of J&J when I was 10 years old. They had me running home from school everyday to watch the day's episode. I want to say the farthest back that I can remember as a child of their storyline's was the Cruise of Deception...that storyline is what first introduced me to Jack and Jen and made me a fan ever since. I stopped watching Days when Jack left the show in '93 and didn't watch again until '03...I watched on and off until '05. Now I don't really watch the show that much recently. But I like to keep my ears open in case there is an appearance of Matt and Missy. It's nice to meet everyone and I am really hoping I can make some new friends in the process. Friends that understand what it is like to be a Jack and Jen lover and that DON'T look at your like your insane for being obsessed with a soap opera couple! None of my "real life" friends can understand. It's is so sad. LOL! :-)

Hi there! My name is Mary and I found this wonderful website while surfing for J&J sites. I loved this couple and have so enjoyed reliving their glory days
through your site. It also makes me realize how the show has fallen. All soaps these days are losing sight of what made them special. Thank you for this site!
My fav moments are smaller ones: "I believe in you" and the time in the forest after they snuck into Lawrence's castle, and she asked him to hold her. Both, to me, although I love Missy, show Matthew Ashford at his best. |
