Deidre
Hall is the host for the show Various castmembers
all say a portion of the famous opening, "Like
sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our
Lives. Matt closes it off by saying "Lives."
Various castmembers then give a quick statement about
what the show and that famous opening means to them.
MATT:
Those
words just kinda sum it up.
There
then are a serious of clips from the show. For Matt
they show a clip of Jack and Jennifer swinging on
the vine from Jack's nightmare in the jungle, the
narrator mentions DAYS' adventure; Jack and
Jennifer in Salem Place saying goodbye the day Jack
was "killed"; finally, a clip of Jack and
Jennifer in bed, making love, the night before he
"died," as part of a clip of the show's
supercouples.
The narrator and various
actors give a brief history of certain Salem couples.
There then are a series of photos of Jack and Jennifer
are shown. Jack and Jennifer in the cave, and a shot
of Jack with his patented devious look and Jennifer
reacting [seems to be within the past couple of years].
Meanwhile the narrator describes Jack and Jennifer's
relationship.
NARRATOR:
Jack
and Jennifer's love didn't come easily. She was everything
that he wasn't.
MATT: Jack's
very selfish; self-centered. I mean
every negative thing you can think of, and yet.... there
was part of him so in love with Jennifer he just couldn't
deal with it. And Jennifer on the other hand was sh....
she was.... she was the strong one.
The
Narrator summarizes all the "deaths." It
begins with Abe's attack. As we see Abe lying on the
ground shot, we hear Matt discuss Abe's murder, and
also see Jack walk out and hear the gunshot.
MATT:
I was shocked by the way that... they
killed the character of Abe; that he was shot in the neck,
and lying there bleeding. And it was really gruesome!
I mean, things had taken a very dark
twist.
We see Jack's attack. Jack walking through the alley,
stopping to check his watch which has stopped, and
then get hit by the brick.
NARRATOR:
The body count started to grow, Jack was the the killer's
next victim.
MATT: You
know people get hit all the time on
this show and they survive. And I just get one
thump on head and I was gone.
The
narrator continues discussing all the victim's faked
death, and the actors all talk about their characters'
"murder." Then with Tony, the killer is
finally revealed, Marlena. Deidre Hall then says that
she thought it might be Marlena's sister, Samantha,
who was actually alive or her look-alike Hatty. She
could not believe that Marlena was the killer. There
is a newspaper clipping from The Spectator,
"Serial Killer Strikes Jack Deveraux! Who's Next?"
Matt then talks about the effects of having Marlena
the killer.
MATT:
As soon
as it was revealed that it was Marlena, I think the audience
jumped right in on it because they love to watch it, they
love to see, "Well, how's she gonna do this. What
is going to happen there."
After the murders of Doug and Alice, the narrator
revials the shocking twist. Marlena herself is killed,
after being arrested as the Stalker. She is buried
alive and goes on a hellish ride in her coffin. Eventually
she comes to in what appears to be Salem Place, but
with no people. She then is started to see Alice Horton,
very much alive. Gradually she discovers no one is
dead.
The narrator later talks about the shocking
returns.
NARRATOR:
If
you think the characters were surprised to find themselves
alive and on the island, image the actors when they
got their jobs back.
MATT: (Quoting
Ken Corday) "Come on in, let's talk." I knew
something was up because I said, "Why else would
we be talking?"
Each
actor reminisces their phone call with Matt. Suzanne
Rodgers (Maggie Horton) says that she received a call
from Ken Corday in mid-March asking her to come to
the studio April 1st. James Reynolds (Abe Carver)
quoted Corday as saying everyone was coming back.
Bill Hayes (Doug Williams) recalls how they were all
described as the "new cast of Days of Our
Lives." "New" since they all had
been killed off.
The
narrator then tells of the shocking revelation, no
one was actually dead, and that they were all on a
deserted isle.
MATT:
Suddenly,
we show up and.... and we're in these houses, they look
like our houses, but they are not our
houses, but they are on this tropical island.
There
are more quick scenes, one is of Matt in his Indiana
Jack get-up. Another Matt related shot is of the crew
setting up Hope about to be lowered down the ravine
to the ledge to save Jennifer, Matt is reclining on
fake ground.
The narrator then explains that no one knows how they
got there. Corday tells viewers they will have to continue
to watch and wait until September to find out. Dee then
explains more of the story.
DEE:
Meanwhile
no one knows who is holding them captive
on the island Jack manages to break through the force
field and is now trapped in the jungle, on the other
side. Will he be able to contact anybody
back in Salem?
There
there are a series of shots of Jack escaping and Jennifer.
The narrator then mentions Jennifer and how she received
a message from "Jack," "GO TO THE OLD
AIRFIELD OUTSIDE OF TOWN. A PRIVATE PLANE WILL PICK
YOU UP TONIGHT AT 9 O'CLOCK SHARP. DON'T TELL ANYONE.
DON'T BE LATE! LOVE, JACK."
NARRATOR:
At home, Jack's pregnant wife Jennifer receives a mysterious
message.
MATT: Supposedly,
Ah, Jennifer was getting these emails from Jack. And
sh.... but this her.... Jack's dead,
so where are these emails coming from? She.... she said
he's trying to connect with him, he wants me to go somewhere,
and she suddenly gets this idea going to rent a plane,
and this guy says, "I can get you to Jack Deveraux!"
There
are clips of Jennifer going to the airfield, and the
crashed plane.
NARRATOR:
But when Jennifer's plane crashes on the island, Jack
is there to rescue her.
Clip
of Jack pulling her to safety, and then their passionate
reunion kiss in the rain.
NARRATOR:
(Cont.)
And they share an emotional reunion.
MATT:
It's very.... it's visceral. I mean, we're physically
just to stay alive, and there hasn't been anytime to
say: "I'm alive!" "You're alive!"
"How's the baby?" "What's going on?"
"Where's Abigail?" "Who did this to us?"
There has been very little time to actually talk these
things out.
Shot
of Jack carrying Jennifer to the cave.
NARRATOR:
However, there reunion is bittersweet because now they
are both stranded on the island together.
The
rest of the show talks about the other characters. The
end has some clips of what is to come after the Olympics,
though nothing involving Jack, despite a clip of the
birth of Jennifer and his baby. Missy was not part of
the special, so even when they discussed the birth she
was not interviewed.

soap net's
promo for jack |
Matt
gives insight into his character. Introduction to
SOAP NET's "DAYS Decathlon," Jack Deveraux
episode.
MATT:
Jack's strongest traight is his ability is to look an
impossibility in the face and go on anyway.
He "dreams the impossible dream" and that is
that he can achieve anything he wants inspite of all odds.
But his biggest weakness is that he becomes tunnel visioned,
he misses the big picture, because he is so focused on
getting exactly what he wants. But he still is underneath
that preppy kid who wants to achieve and succeed. And
I think that's a lot like life.
