Jackson Montgomery came to Pine Valley when his brother Travis was running for the senate, to purportedly handle his campaign funds. Jack accepted illegal bribes and did everything he could to undermine his brother's efforts as payback for the death of their sister, Christine. Jack had been blamed for the boating accident, but it had actually been Travis who was at fault.
Jack fell in love with Travis' wife, Erica, and the two had a clandestine romance behind Travis' back. When he found out, he divorced Erica and sued for custody of their daughter. Erica lost feelings for Jack when he refused to lie about their affair at the custody hearing. Jack, although still in love with Erica, had a brief fling with Brooke English.
Laurel Banning appeared in Jack's headlights one night and became a permanent fixture in his life. She had an autistic daughter by a previous marriage, and Jack came to love Lily as though she were his own. The relationship lasted until Laurel's ex-husband showed up and threatened Laurel's life. She killed him, and despite Jack's legal position, he helped hide the body. When the truth came out, Jack was disbarred temporarily.
He and Laurel stayed together until she fell in love with Trevor Dillon, then Jack stepped aside so the two could marry. Jack turned his attention to his career, won a few high publicity cases, and became Pine Valley's District Attorney.
His romance with Erica was rekindled when he represented her for kidnapping, and even though she was still sent to prison, Jack became a frequent visitor. Although there have been a string of men in Erica's life, she gravitates back to Jack. Mike Roy, Dimiti Marick, Adam Chandler, and many others have held her attention, but Jack seems to hold her heart. Although they have been through many obstacles, they finally married. The family grew as Jack adopted a young man named, Reggie, discovered he had Greenlee, a grown daughter by Mary Smythe, and Lily came home to live.
Always protective of Lily, her recent involvement with Jonathan Lavery was very disturbing to Jack. Despite his objections, the two married and moved in together. However, when Jonathan's brain function returned to normal, Jackson assumed that Jonathan had been lying to Lily all along and caused them to split. When Jonathan saved Lily from a would-be rapist, Jack apologized, finally understanding that Jonathan had been truthful and really cared about Lily. Unfortunately, she couldn't accept their differences and preferred to remain at home with her father and Erica.
With nephew Sean coming to stay, Erica announced that she needed some time and space for herself to plan for the sweeps week on TV. She moved into the Valley Inn, conveniently close to her newfound son, Josh, and her old husband, Jeff Martin. After continual pleas for her to come home, Jack finally had all her belongings delivered to the hotel. However, Sean and friend Colby Chandler teamed up to find a way to get Erica back home in time for Christmas by sending her romantic gifts. On Christmas, Erica and Josh showed up for the Montgomery gathering, and she and Jack seemed to be on their way to making amends until he invited her to a holiday musical and she announced she had already been invited by Jeff.
Jack struggled with his feelings and finally was ready to let Erica go because he didn't want to play her games. Then Jeff left town and Greenlee returned; Erica couldn't find their way back to one another because of Greenlee. They did become friends, though, and Jack stood by Erica when she was arrested for insider trading. Erica convinced him to take on Carmen's case, too, after the two were found running from the law. Jack did and discovered he liked Carmen; they began dating.
Erica didn't like that and tried to break them up. She also began dating Adam. Seeing that he was still in love with Erica, Carmen broke up with Jack.

Greenlee walks into the chapel and looks at her father's back. He is talking, assuming it's David who came in. Jack asks what he could possibly want him there for. He turns and Greenlee says, "Hi Dad." Jack is shocked!
Erica answers the door to her home and is stunned to see Jack. He kisses her cheek and tells her he came back because of her! She thinks he is there because he heard about what happened to Fusion. Jack muses that word of her and Ryan's 'teamwork' has spread quickly - he holds up a tabloid! He assures her he didn't come because he's jealous, but wonders if she's considered the implications. Erica says she spoke to Bianca and Kendall after making the announcement. Jack wonders if she spoke to Spike - what's he to think about seeing a picture of them kissing! Erica is angry that he is using Spike to humiliate her! Erica wonders if Jack's real issue is out of some kind of loyalty to Greenlee? She asks what he wants - Ryan to go on grieving for the rest of his life? Jack asserts that Ryan isn't over Greenlee, and if she thinks he is, she's in for a surprise. Erica insists he is holding something back - him flying there to protect her from a man who has been wonderful to her doesn't add up! Jack tells her that he has been in Ryan's shoes - what they had was life-changing and hard to get over - and one looks for escapes. Jack tells Erica she deserves more than to be Ryan's escape!
Back at Erica's, Jack listens to Erica's curt tone with Ryan on the telephone and remarks that maybe this wasn't a wasted trip after all! He walks over to the door and heads out. Erica picks up the tabloid and looks at the cover.
