JACK SNYDER'S HISTORY
Jack came to Oakdale while working on James Stenbeck's case. He dropped into the Snyder farm for a visit. He decided that he would stay in Oakdale and he got a job on the police department. He stayed with his aunt, Emma for a while. His cousin, Holden needed Jack to go with him to Montana. There he ran into Carly Tenney. She was young, wild, and the exact opposite of Jack. They did not get along at all. Carly worked closely with Jack to bring down a dirty cop. After being stranded together, they realized they had feelings for each other. Jack let his guard down and fell in love with Carly. Unfortunately, Carly had a deal with her sister, and she wanted Hal Munson to marry her so that they could have a child and she could collect some money. Jack accepted Carly’s choice and let her go. The deal blew up on Carly when Rosanna refused to give her the money she owed her.
Jack moved on and started dating Julia Lindsey, after helping her with an angry boyfriend. Jack and Julia were falling in love with each other, but Jack’s feelings for Carly started to interfere with his relationship with Julia. Carly continued to make poor choices in her life and that frustrated Jack. After Carly had lost everything, Jack felt sorry for her and started having feelings for her again. He confessed his feelings to Julia and told her that it wouldn’t be fair to her if he stayed. Jack and Carly finally made it together, but not without a fight from Julia. With Julia trying to kill Carly, Carly thought that it would be best if she broke it off with Jack. Julia finally got out of their lives and Carly and Jack got back together. Julia showed up a couple of years later with a baby, Jack Jr. It turned out that she had stolen the baby. Jack had just started accepting the baby and learning how to be a daddy to his own son.
On one occasion, Carly was kidnapped and taken to another country. Jack fought to find her and get her back. She was given a serum that would age her quickly, so by the time she was rescued she had aged quite a bit. But that didn’t stop Jack, who held a reluctant Carly in his arms, caring for what was inside more than out. Carly wasn’t so embarrassed and let Jack love her. Eventually, Carly was given a reverse serum that brought her looks back to where they were when she left. Jack treated her no different, and she felt safe and secure in his arms.
The night before Jack and Carly were going to get married, they had a huge argument over her relationship with Craig Montgomery. Jack didn’t approve of them spending so much time together. Carly was angry when she left, and went to her office and started drinking to calm herself. Mike Kasnoff showed up while Carly was drinking. As they sat there and talked, Carly found comfort in Mike's arms. They made love. The next day, Jack and Carly made up but she never told him about the affair - until she had to. Carly found herself pregnant, but she wasn’t sure if it was Mike’s baby or Jack’s. She went to Montana to get away. Jack followed her, just in time to help with the birth. Carly had a little girl who she named Sage. They renewed their vows and found out later that Sage was Jack’s.
Carly’s cousin Molly Conlan was in town. She had a mobster chasing her. When he was caught at Jack and Carly’s house, Jack came to arrest him. He called for back up, but Molly was so upset at his presence that she insisted that Jack take him out of the house. Jack decided to take him in his car. Carly begged him not to, but he couldn’t bear to see Molly upset. On the way to the police department, Jack’s car went over the bridge. Jack’s body was not in the car. Everyone gave up on the search eventually, but not Carly. She searched until she found Jack. He had amnesia and was married to a woman who was the nurse who took care of him in the hospital. Julia had a son named JJ and they were one big happy family. Carly got Jack to come back to Oakdale, and once he was there, she had him court ordered to live with her instead of Julia. Jack was torn. He finally got his memory back and let Julia down easy. She sought comfort in his cousin, Holden. Carly and Jack were glad to have things back to normal. Tragically, Julia was killed by her ex-husband and JJ was awarded to Jack, since he was the only "real dad" he knew.
Jack and Carly finally divorced in 2006, and after grieving for a while, Carly found herself falling in love with Simon Frasier. The two got into trouble and Jack had to arrest them both. After a struggle, Simon and Carly got away, and Jack took the kids to the farm to stay.
Jack and Katie began dating and he quickly fell for the bubbly blonde. Carly returned to town, putting a wrench in the works and then JJ was kidnapped. Together, Jack and Carly tracked down JJ and brought him home; along the way, Jack began having feelings for Carly again. Nearly unconscious after an explosion, he said, "I love you, Carly," within Katie's hearing (Carly wasn't there). When they returned to Oakdale, Jack decided to put the past behind him and proposed to Katie! Katie accepted and Jack rushed the wedding forward and they were married in a few days.
Just after the wedding, Jack got devastating news: Carly was dying from a brain lesion! He put his life - and his honeymoon - on hold to care for her!

Jack keeps questioning her and she offers to put him on the case with Dallas. Jack says he doesn't want another case. Margo leaves as Carly arrives. He takes her into the interrogation room and she tells him about seeing Brad at the hospital. "I heard him say, 'I'm sorry'," she says. Jack tries to cover, saying Brad would never hurt anyone.

Katie disagrees. Jack arrives and demands to know what happened. Katie admits she went to him; Brad is shocked and angry but realizes she was just trying to protect him. He finally tells Jack everything. Jack tells him he has to come forward and gives him an hour to get to the police station. He leaves. Brad apologizes to Katie, who blames herself. She thinks she should have stayed quiet. Brad says she wasn't wrong to go to Jack but is worried about going to prison. She says they can't run; Brad agrees. A hospital nurse calls to tell them that Leo is awake! She says Leo is asking for him!

Tuesday, September 02 2008: James Strong-arm's Paul!
Jack and Carly try to make Parker feel better but he can't believe that his own family thought he was a rapist. He goes upstairs. Jack is about to leave when Janet arrives with a fruit basket. She apologizes to them both. Carly goes to the kitchen and Jack goes off on Janet about her disbelief of Parker. Janet apologizes again but says all she knew was that Liberty was attacked and Parker was there. She asks if they can talk at the farm but Jack says he is staying at Carly's for the night. Janet sadly leaves. Carly returns and tells Jack he is being judgmental! She tells him to stop keeping such high standards for everyone and consider how other people would feel. She asks what he would have done if Sage was in the same position. Dallas calls, interrupting them. He says they've found Leo - in the reservoir! A while later, Parker comes into the kitchen, still worried that he'll be arrested. Carly tries to encourage him but he can't forget about how things were after Sam was killed. She promises to call Jack so they can all talk. Liberty calls and apologizes for placing the blame on him inadvertently. Parker asks if she ever thought he hurt her; she says she never did. "Apology accepted," he says and they hang up.
Jack gets to the hospital but Dallas says the kid is in a coma!
Back at Brad's, Liberty asks Janet to sing to her for a while. Brad returns home, soaked to the skin. Janet tries to figure out where he has been but he won't say. Katie arrives home and is relieved to see him. Jack arrives, says Leo is in a coma and asks where Brad has been! Brad says he has been for a walk but won't say more. Jack leaves and so does Janet. Katie asks why Brad is lying! She says the production assistant told her that he went after Leo and won't stop pushing until Brad finally admits he was at the reservoir! He says he was just trying to scare Leo by pushing him in the reservoir but when he didn't come up for air, he jumped in and saved his life. Katie can't believe it. Brad swears he didn't mean to hurt anyone. She says he has to talk to Jack. Brad refuses but Katie convinces him to go forward. She swears she will stand by him but he won't listen. Brad leaves, even when she begs him to stay with her. "I love you," she says and he walks out.
Jack calls Dallas, who says whoever made the call may also have saved Leo's life because he had had CPR before the trauma workers arrived.
Janet is packing her things in Emma's kitchen when Jack arrives. She says she is moving out! He asks her to reconsider and says he wants them to work out their differences. Janet sadly says she can't take the disappointment she sees in him. He says he understands why she stood up for Libs and that he would have done the same for Parker. Janet says his standards are too high for her. "I can't live up to it," she says and goes back upstairs. Katie arrives and desperately tells him what happened between Brad and Leo. She begs him to help Brad come forward. Jack can't believe what she is asking. "Please," she begs as Janet comes back downstairs. She says she figured out what Brad did and says he should keep quiet! She tells Jack to forget everything Katie says and begs him not to let Brad go to jail. Jack insists he is going to do his job!
