Welcome to Fight For Matt - the website for the growing fan campaign devoted to getting actor Matthew Ashford back on Days of Our Lives. Matthew portrays Jack Deveraux on the soap opera, and was recently fired from the show. His recent performance, in a PTSD storyline, has earned Matt a Daytime Emmy nomination for his work - this is not the actor Days should be axing. Join us as we tweet, call, and write to support this wonderful actor. We want Matt back where he rightfully belongs - in Salem!

Twitter Bomb?

What do you guys think of creating a Twitter bomb, solely devoted to supporting Matt? The one that also protested Patrick and Christie's firing was a huge hit - it might be good to get Matt trending, and focus attention on him.

Thoughts? Also, what do you guys think would be a good hashtag to trend?

I think a twitter Bomb just for Matt is a great idea. Not sure about the hashtag just that we should pick something not already being used. So maybe when someone suggest one we can do a search on twitter for it to make sure we are the only ones. I know on his last day we were using #ThanksMatt and #LoveJack but when I searched it was already being used for something else.

Also I think we should wait until more people join this board and agree to twitter bomb because it will not work if just a handful of people are doing it. I think if we could get at least 30 people commited to doing a twitter bomb it might work now if we could get 100 people doing it even better

Thanks for creating this board
I hope a lot of good comes of it

I would love a Twitter bomb just for MA. I was kind of sorry the last one had to be about CC and PM too, and look, CC is back. I just don't see the appeal of Carrie at all---boorrring, but oh well. However, Peach Blossom is right that we would need to be sure of more than a handful of people participating.

By the way, I can't help but feel rather annoyed that ED became available right now. Bad timing. I think the fans are looking like fickle doofs who just scream about whatever character. I mean, there was all this anger over Matt Ashford, but now so many are now screaming that they want ED---steals the thunder and makes it seem like the fans are just mindless drones flitting to the next thing. Maybe that's the truth though. I'm rather shocked that people are foaming at the mouth to have Kristen back anyway. Weird.

Sorry, NB, I know you want Kristen back, and that's cool. I guess I just wish the timing weren't as it is though.

Don't worry - I too thought the timing was bad! ED has a huge fanbase of DAYS fans, and to have her Y&R firing at the same time as Matt's firing from DAYS is unfortunate, because we've seen a shift of attention.

If DAYS made an announcement on Eileen's status, I think we'd find a lot more people willing to join in this campaign. I know a few Eileen fans, who sort of had a "once Eileen's return is made official, I'll fight for Matt" attitude. Personally, I like both Matt and Eileen, and I've tried showing them both support and attention online and through social media. I don't really want to back-burn one of them!

I'm all for a twitterbomb! The only way I'll go back to watching Days again is if Matt is rehired.

I found out about this website thru Daytime Royalty but I noticed this website isn't mentioned on Devoted to Deveraux...unless I missed it somehow? It doesn't look like it has its own thread over there. I think we could get a lot more people if it was posted over there as well.

PeachBlossom, I LOVE your profile pic! I tried so hard to get that for mine a month or two ago but couldn't get it small enough to look good...but then I'm pretty computer challenged so I really wasn't surprised that I couldn't get it to work. I found another one that (of course) looked great of Matt/Jack as well!

I did post the links at D2D but they were within another thread so it's possible not everyone's seen it. It might be an idea to start a separate one though. Maybe if anyone posts on other boards they can share the info there too (if it's allowed).

What about something to the point for the hashtag #rehirematt.

Also I think any tweets should focus solely on Matt/Jack. We shouldn't tweet about J&J or Jennifer/Missy. The goal should be all about getting Matt back on Days. Once that goal is reached then we can maybe try and push for more. I just think if we are bringing up the J&J angle then we could get stuck in the same scenario with Jack being placed in a J&J bubble with no interaction outside of that.

One thing at a time though.

I agree. Let's just stick to getting Matt rehired. I just want to see Jack Deveraux on Days again...with or without Jennifer.

Why isn't my profile pic showing up anymore? It showed up this morning when I posted but now it's gone. I checked under my profile and the picture is still there but it's not showing up anymore.

I like the hashtag #RehireMatt b/c that's what we all want! It's short and says exactly what we want.

ETA: I deleted my photo and put it back in and now it's working again.
