Jack is breaking my heart

How can anyone forget what an awesome actor Michael Park is? Everytime he has been on screen this week it has brought me to tears. The raw emotion in his eyes over killing his brother by accident and blaming himself. He knows in his head that its not his fault but in his heart he is blaming himself and it shows all over his face. I just want to climb through the TV and cuddle him.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, I feel the same way minus the cuddling. Michael Park is an incredible actor who in my opinion could be a star in any genre from prime time to the big screen.
As for the character of Jack, I just hope this tragedy doesn't drive him back into the arms of Carly because it will never work and he'll end up getting hurt again. I truly hope Janet can get over herself pity and be the rock for Jack that Jack has been for her up until now. I was so mad at her for suggesting Jack was drunk and she should have told Margo he was drinking. It wasn't that long ago Jack put his career on the line to save Brad at her urging. She and Brad destroyed the evidence and now all of sudden she has morals and wants Jack to fall on his sword again? Get a grip lady, he had a couple beers, it isn't like he was doing shooters and blitzed out of his mind. Besides by the time he was at the warehouse his blood alcohol level was probably under .04 hardly high enough to impair his judgment. Jack didn't know Brad was there, it was dark and he only saw a flash from the shot of the gun and returned fire how could anyone have known Uncle Ralph was using Brad as a human shield.

His emotion is raw and painful to watch!! I hope he doesn't go off the deep end over this. AND I hope it was Uncle Ralph who shot Brad!

Michael Park is a superb actor and I always enjoy his scenes. He's very natural in every situation and very believable.

I agree. The show this week in general has made me bawl. Michael Park is an extremely talented actor. No one can convey emotion like him. His role, Jack, is always the protector and he holds everything together. He needs someone to be there for him now.

Ok I know ppl have strong opinions about this....so here it goes MP is great! Sooooo good with emotion, never any doubt about that. But that is exactly why I love him with Carly. She is such a great actor as well that together they are a powerhouse of emotion. You feel their passion for one another. I just don't get that with Jack and Janet. Not that I don't like them together just that the sl between Jack and Carly are so much more intense!

Their intensity is like a bottle rocket, it fizzles out after a few seconds. What else could they possibly write about Carly and Jack they have played out. It's like watching a rerun, you know what is gonna happen because you've already seen it. Let's mix it up a little, how about a Henry/Carly/Damian triangle. Why do people always try to recapture that high they got from Jack and Carly? You'll never get that same first time high again, so relish in the memories of a great romance instead of trying to regain what once was. Who knows we might get that same high from a new Carly romance with someone else.

ITA with you MP is a damn fine actor. And everytime Janet tries to bring up that he had beer I want to put a boot up her azz... How many times has Jack come home gone to that antique refrigerator and gotten a beer and been called back to work? Countless times! What is HER problem? As for Carly and Jack...IMO they are soul mates and it doesn't matter that he is with Janet; they are connected spiritually & they are destined to be together. He has had nothing BUT DRAMA since he has been with Janet also...case example your post. She has gotten on my nerves big time and I am sick of her whole family that came to town. I feel deeply for Jack, but I see him more full of guilt and self pity and self loathing than MISSING his brother. Jack NEVER even said to Brad..."I am sorry or Please forgive me", before Brad died OR after. Jack never treated Bradley as he did Holden...no hugs, or guy times. etc. But I do feel his pain, MP is doing a great job as the tortured Jack and I am SOOOO Glad Carly is back, YaHoo! TIJMHO. Jack was irresponsible to shoot a gun off into a dark room when he didn't know where Katie and the Baby were...he heard the baby crying before he got to the door. He should had waited for back-up...something he promised Carly he would do after his "Death S/L" He promised to never again take on a situation without back-up, everytime he has done it, it turned out badly. TIJMHO.
