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.

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. |
