Retro FriDAYS: Jack hits the highway to heaven

In his re-re-re-re-re-return to DAYS, Jack never reached the high bar Matthew Ashford set for the character throughout the years. Nevertheless his (most recent) death was genuinely sad, as opposed to some other character passings through the years. Until his return, here’s a look back:

Oh no! Someone starting trouble between Jack and Jen!

Jack rapes Kayla, if that’s your thing, and they used to sing copyrighted songs?

Deveraux plays the intrepid newspaper reporter at the Salem Spectator

An epic Jack and Jennifer fan video

Thanks to Youtube user Karen73UK, we have an epic, seven-part look at the many faces of Jack.

Face 1: Angst

Face 2: Hero

Face 3: Romance

Face 4: Fun

Face 5: Here’s my sad face

Face 6: Family man

Face 7: Villain (My Favorite)

As we all know Jack isn’t the most stable man, but he does have nine lives (at least!). Someone pointed out he even came back after having his friggin’ organs donated. So here’s to hoping we haven’t seen the last of Jack Deveraux. ‘Til then…

(Oh yeah, and Madison died, too.)

Retro FriDAYS: The Actors So Nice, They Cast Them Twice Edition

Just because a character expires doesn’t mean an actor should. That’s presumably why DAYS has been known to recast actors into new parts once their character died off/left Salem/turned into a lemon/whatever. Isn’t it interesting that no one moves to like a suburb of Salem 10 miles away; it’s either in town or around the world? (Or Chicago, but that may as well be Reykjavik.)

Josh Taylor as Chris Kositchek/Roman Brady

Like, whoa.

And if this doesn’t make you smile…

As many of you know, the road in between wasn’t always smooth

Wayne Northrup as Roman Brady/Dr. Alex North

After a long stint portraying Roman Brady aka Marlena’s muse

He returned as Dr. Alex North.

Judi Evans as Adrienne Kiriakis/Bonnie Lockhart

Adrienne’s role has lately been confined to that of a poster PFLAG member (not that there’s anything wrong with that) so it was wild to see Judi Evans letting it all hang out as Ms. Bonnie Lockhart

Tamara Braun as Ava Vitali/Taylor Walker

Ava Vitali was good enough to win a Daytime Emmy http://youtu.be/w42V5rodiG8, but everyone hated Taylor, right?

Ian Buchanan as Ian McAlister/Lord Sheraton

Yes, his run as Ian McAlister has been forgettable, thanks largely to plot lines that make no sense. But this was even more obscure.

Thanks to all of you who helped with this entry! (And if you can find any videos of John Callahan as Tyler Malone or Artie Doyle please link in the comments.)
