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.

If I could just say something here I love it when you post videos on here, any chance of you posting the one were he's dreaming of Jennifer and she takes off his shirt and puts her hand to his chest? I love that clip..I want to use that as my avatar. So are these so we can get inspired for the campaign? I'm gonna write in this week to the studio..

I think we want to show more than superficial stuff. Jack isn't the type of character that gets attention by just walking around with his shirt off. we really don't want to see him portrayed that way (like all the other males on this show seem to be). Not that we don't want to see him with his shirt off ever but that's not what Jack's about.

The video is something to send to TPTB to show them who Jack truly is and why he is so popular and should be brought back.

I am going to create a clip section so that fans can reminisce or just rewatch/post clips of Jack and Matt. The board is mainly for the campaign but if that's successful we can still come here to discuss etc.

I think a compilation is a fabulous idea! We could also bring on the fact that we feel Jack has not been portrayed accurately since his recent returns, and present this video as a way of showing them the core of who he is, and why we love him.

And hey, maybe it could actually inspire him to write the character correctly for Pete's sake! They've botched history when they did their own research, maybe we should do it for them. So yes, I love this idea Karen!

That's what I planned to do. Originally I was going to make it similar to the J&J true history one with moments of his best scenes. But I think I want to make a collection to put on a DVD with various themes to show different facets of Jack. Like Villain Jack, romantic Jack, one with his family and maybe one with all the different women he's interacted with etc. Though I'm thinking this will take a while gathering up clips so it might be an ongoing thing. But so long as we can get him back then this could help further down the line.
