Bring back Jack!

^ I think the fact that Matt himself suggested it was open-ended and that Meng said to him about possibly returning in the future is where the speculation came from. It does sound somewhat final but I guess until it happens we wont know. I don't like Jack dying period so saving Abby only to die himself really doesn't make it any better (for me anyway). I don't see any point to it. Is it going to lead to any type of story for Abby feeling guilt that her father died rescuing her or will it be a few weeks of crying before everyone forgets he ever existed (not that any of that makes it better either). It's seems like they are just killing him so they can say that a big name character died for once in one of these disaster events (and of course Jack would always be the first choice). Jack dying has been done to death..so to speak. Again I don't see the point.

I don't see the point, but he's most likely "dying" so I prefer him saving Abigail over him getting hit on the head by a falling post or having his throat slashed by a plate. This elevator can only fall like one floor so I'm confused about where any question of his death comes from. Unless there is tons of rubble and they just can't get to him to search it doesn't make much sense to me.

^Maybe the elevator explodes :shrug: . What I heard was the doors close on him and that's the last we see him so beyond that is anyone's guess. I prefer something that could be fixed later so if we don't actually see exactly what happens to him then there's a chance to come back from it. But considering they seem to want Jack gone to free up Jennifer I don't see how making it open ended will help that. Jack and death in general are never final anyway after what happened in 2003/2004 so not sure why they chose this route.

If the tunnels are flooding and the elevator falls into water, that might blunt the impact of the fall. If Jack survives the plunge, he could pry open the doors and climb out, only to get swept away by the flood. Water and falling debris could complicate rescue/recovery efforts until it appears to be too late for survival. This being a soap, though, I would be surprised if there was a body. But TIIC seem hellbent on giving Jack and J&J fans everything they didn't want, so I'm through second-guessing, for the most part. It never seems to work out the way I hope it will.

The thing is that Abigail is the young female with the most potential to be an interesting character. She's bright, she's beautiful - she's shown some signs of being mentally ill - and she's friggin Jack Deveraux's child! But they have really missed the boat by not writing scenes with Jack and Abigail together just being father and daughter. That would make her exponentially more rootable as far as I'm concerned, far more so than insta love with the chintastic new doctor in town. Give her something to do (that isn't being a girlfriend or a model).

So, in sum, Jack's death would have far more impact if there was any real sense that he and Abigail were close or even had a contentious relationship. But the show doesn't write non romantic relationships anymore (unless you count Will and Sonny).

That said, I have no doubt MA will bring it, whatever they give him.

I'm hoping the explosion in town doesn't affect the Hoeton house. I believe th Tomlin higly team wanted it destroyed before.

I can see it now, ej drops Sami while Lucas catches her....she don't deserve though.

I wonder what these other obstacles could be?

Will Rafe eventually be a part of the action?
Picture it-Sami starts to fall. EJ grabs her & tries to hold on, but starts to lose his grip. Lucas rushes over to help EJ hold on to her, but she's slipping away. Then suddenly down below, Rafe appears & says "Don't worry Sami! I'll catch you!" Rafe saves the day! ;)

only for them both to be knocked off balance and into the swirling torrent of Salem River and washed away.

Yeah me too I do not want the big cliffhanger to just feature Sami although it would not surprise me if it did. I want to see everyone in their own scenes the whole cast and how the explosions will affect all of them and the the screen goes black and leaves us wondering who survived and who did not. Even though we know who is leaving the show and who is staying. It will still be exciting.
