KaiyaBlake Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Jack's... not the brightest spark. It is kind of endearing though, like one of those dogs who chases after a tennis ball, even though it never left your hand... hahahaha. So true, so true. But I love Jack, he's so innocent even when he tries to be mean. And I love his tiny bit of an accent he has They better not get rid of him for ever Hmm.

MasterHolden Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Maybe, but soon this will have to be called the R.I.P. Jack Holden thread, once his death has been confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jody Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) I don't think I've seen a character who has had less character growth, on the show, then Jack. I honestly believe if he hadn't become apart of a supercouple then his character would never have lasted this long, and if he did last he would have faded into the background a long time ago. He seems to only exist for the sake of J/M. His scenes with Tony, and Lucas used to be the only ones I found to be reasonably entertaining. Even though I've hated J/M for a very long time, I've started to actually enjoy Martha's scenes lately, but Jack still does nothing for me. Sometimes even when a character is not written well, if the actor playing them is good enough, then they can still make you care about the character. I think if they had a more capable actor playing Jack, it might have helped alot. I probably still wouldn't like him, but probably wouldn't think of him as a complete waste of space.

valli Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I think I both agree and disagree with you Jody. I agree with your opinion on the character, but I don't agree that a better actor would have made a difference. If you can't stand the character and think he's a waste of time, then the actor isn't going to make a difference. But if you like the character [what he does and his storylines] then the actor will make a difference. A bad actor will annoy because you see the potential for the character, while a good actor will make you love the character even more. I think Jack was a good character at first. He was this cheeky, flirty kind of guy and I just couldn't help but smile at his desperate attempts to get Martha to go out with him. I just loved it. But then it all went wrong for some reason. Probably because his storylines were incredibly boring and he became a character whose character growth went the wrong way. He became pretty boring and useless. Then came the storyline with Sam/Johnny and my interest for him went back up. Unfortunately, he went back to the place where he'd spent the last two years when Sam was gone. Such a disappointment. I really wish the writers would've done something more with Jack other than just introducing him as one half of a supercouple. With that said, I do love Paul. I really do. But his acting does need some improvement. The funny thing though: I think his acting was better prior to his role on H&A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterHolden Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Judging from the week 3 spoilers, I regret to confirm that Jack Holden will die on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
