I'm with Rose as far as this goes.  I think Jenn has been totally
right lately, and Jack is being an ass.

But Jack *IS* having another knee-jerk reaction!   Jenn hit the
nail right on the head!   This is exactly Jack's problem, he just
shifts from one scheme to the next with about two minutes of 
thought behind it.  Oh, I'm going to be a house husband.  Oh,
I'm going to get this book published.  Oh, I'm going to produce
Jenn's show.  Oooh, look, the Spectator.  I think I'll try to get
it back.  It is totally ridiculous.

Without her help he *wouldn't* get it back!

Jack gave Jenn this long speech about confidence yesterday.  I don't
know who he thinks he is talking to her like that.  You have to *earn*
confidence, and Jack has done absolutely nothing to show that he can
be relied upon.  He continues to lie and scheme and be totally 
irrational.   To think that he can buy the Spectator is ludicrous.
The only way is with Horton help.  Jenn realizes this and tried to
help him, while also trying to spare his feelings.   Her reactions
throughout this entire storyline have been totally appropriate.

I agree about this part!

Well said, Coleen.  I think this is the crux of the whole matter--
she has no idea what will come next for her.  And for exactly this
reason I hope she decides to take a LOT of time off.

Right, she was gone from about February to July 14th of 1992.   A very
short time, IMO.   I was happy to hear she was coming back, but at the 
same time worried that it was too soon.

I think so too.  I wish someone in her life would talk some sense into
her.  If she does go back to work it shouldn't be in soaps.  She needs
something with long breaks in between.
