...Frankie and Jennifer was more of a puppy love. I think that's why she never slept with Frankie. I think Jennifer wanted to give herself to the man she would spend the rest of her life with. She realized that was Jack. He's a more mature love.

The one story I fought for and that I certainly take credit for no matter what anybody else says is Jack and Jennifer She was just a very young, uninformed girl and Jack was the arch villain of all time. First I was trying to give them something to do rather than have him twirl his psychological mustache and her sort of twit around. I discovered by trying to write a little humor for them that in that kind of patronizing, off-putting kind of way, that he was very funny with her, and Jennifer had quite a way with comic repeposte. I found that her acceptance of him is his ticket to respectability.

Jack and Jennifer started as a non-relatinship where the slate was pretty clean, the map was not drawn, and they just wrote it with day to day things for them to do. She was not looking for a relationship and I definitely wasn't. They didn't write romance into it. They gave us things we could become passionate about without being passionate towards each other. They allowed us, as actors, to find the rhythm of working together.

I believe that our audience tunes in to see if Jack will fall in love with Jennifer, will Jennifer fall in love with Jack. People don't tune in to see evil guys and tawdry triangles. People want to see that when he looks in her eyes she could die, and when she looks in his eyes he will do anything for her love. It's really that basic. They are high romance.
