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!

A campaign Idea; Feedback requested

So I had this idea a couple of days ago. Some of you may know that during our previous campaign in 2010/2011 we created a Jack & Jennifer video featuring some of their most memorable clips to depict the true history of their relationship (since Days/DH seemed determined to misrepresent it so they could pimp Jennifer's latest pairing).



Anyway I'm thinking we can now create one for Jack to send to all the relevant parties.

And this is the part where I need feedback. I would like to hear suggestions for clip selections (Jack focused). I am looking for a variation of scenes from when he was bad, romantic, fun (not goofy), angsty, serious..well you get the picture.

Look forward to hearing everyone's thoughts.

I like the scenes where Matt has a chance to show more than just being funny the show seems to forget he is able to do so much more.I would also stay away from too many Jack and Jennifer clips sence the point is to prove he is worth more then just being Jennifer's emotional punching bag. some of my sugestions

When Jack and Jo are in Aprils apartment and he gets her to admit to killing Nick those scenes I think are some of the best Jack and Jo

When Steve visits Jack at the paper and ask him to be his best man

After the Rape slap when Jack takes Jennifer home they argue in her apartment

After Jack learns Jennifer was raped and he is chopping wood and Frankie shows up


When Victor tells Jack he was to blame for Abby being sick and also when he is saying goodbye to Abby


I also Like when he gets the chance to be some what of a hero type, Both times fencing with Lawrance, when he returns from Tony's castle and is at the hospital and he attacks Patrick

When he sees Steve for the first time and he is trying to convince Steve that he is his brother

also any scenes that show him having any ties or relationships outside of Jennifer because they also seem to think he can only do scenes with her. So I would say Isabella,Billie,Nicole, Gretta,Marlena,Kayla,Alice,harper,Anjelica,Melissa,Sami,Steve,Lawrence, Vern

There was a scene after Jack is no longer a suspect in Collins murder and Bo and Jack are talking in the basement of Bo's house and Jack is upset he was not able to be there to stop Collin

The scene at the Spectator when Lawrence makes Jack think he and Jennifer had sex

This is what came to my mind first so I hope it helps

Also what about maybe doing one that shows Matt on other shows One Life to Live, General Hospital ect. If you have them this way it would show NBC Just how much of a acting range Matt has.The character he played on One Life to Live was down right creepy and Jack was never creepy. And on General Hospital his love scenes were way steamier and sexier then anything Days had him do .

General Hospital proved Matt was very much a sex symbol even though a lot of people say he is not a soap hunk.

One Life to Live showed just how creepy and scary Matt can play a role

Just an idea

Thanks for the suggestions. I hadn't thought of some of those. I really like that Bo/Jack scene. I had planned on trying not to focus too much on J&J but I would have to include some since I'd like to show he's romantic too. Mainly it will be focused on Jack though.

I am going to give it a little time and see what else gets suggested too. I like all of these though - and hey if it doesn't convince TPTB at least we might get a good Jack video out of it LOL. Thing with it is trying to condense it down to a suitable length..there are so many great Jack clips especially from the earlier years. But I plan on using a mixture from both runs..might throw in a couple from this run too (that wont be as hard with not alot to choose from).

I had actually thought of that but wasn't sure. I did make a music video a couple of years ago featuring Matt on other shows and included some Days stuff too:



This is the Days part:



(Sorry for the video pimping LOL)

Maybe there should be a separate section for reminiscing too.

I don't know if this was mentioned. Jack finding out he is a Johnson. Steve and Jack during that time. Cannot wait to see the video!

Karen thanks for posting the two videos you did in the past I really enjoyed watching them.

one more scene idea this run when Dan comes to see Jennifer and Jack comes out without his shirt on. I am suggesting this scene because of this notion that NBC has, that Matt is to old and they want younger actors. In that scene it shows that Matt is very much still very sexy and attractive without his shirt and is still very easy on the eyes for ladies to gawk at. I know Matt is way more then something nice to look at but I figured this would be a good scene for the Flesh obsessed people in charge

What about the scene Jack had this run when he first came back and he was talking to Adrienne or the scenes where he walks in on Abby and Chad and they argue
