	Yup!!  I agree with you...  maybe J & J are boring because they
don't have enough airtime to have a real storyline...  but thinking back on
it, ALL their storylines ever since the Cruise of FirstSex-tion have been
contrived.  I mean. Jenn was *believable* unconditionally loving a wary Jack,
but I thought it was totally dumb having them make love for the first time
IN A CAVE ... all unwashed and grimy ... I mean, they acted like it was a 
freakin' resort!  If I was stranded on an island, I would be thinking a
hell of a lot more about survival than losing my virginity.
	Then that thing with Jenn pretending to be Katerina was SO SO SO
STUPID.  It was just an attempt to get Jenn into the storyline, and give
Jack some funny scenes trying to rescue her.  How dumb can you get?  They
had an opportunity to really counterpoint J & J's relationship with Frankie,
and they blew it...
	The STUPID CONTRIVED game show... what ever happened to realistic
romance?  They almost made them the new Calliope and Eug.  
	I guess what I'm trying to say is that I think that, if anyone,
J & J's storylines don't mesh with the others... they are always off on their
STRANGE adventures, lately.  What ever happened to Jack interacting with
PEOPLE, Steve, Kay, Harper, Anjelica, Melissa, Jo...  and being an
interesting facet of an emotionally charged, believable (as you can get on
soaps) storyline??  Now, I agree that J & J are getting TIRED...  Jenn is
too blah, and Jack overcame his problems WAY too fast, and is now been
reduced to her wishy-washy foil.  I am hoping that things will change with
the birth of the baby, but I doubt it.
	What ever happened to high romance, like Bo and Hope, Steve and Kay,
Roman and Diana, Justin and Adrienne...?  The closest thing we have now is
John and Isabella, and they've only become tolerable lately because she is
DYING, for Christ's sake!  Remember, I was president of the Carly Hater's 
club, but I am really advocating a future storyline bet. her and Lawrence,
so we can see some -love- and -family- triumphing over past heartaches.  They
could have played these issues up with J & J, but chose to ignore them in
favor of game shows and silly scenes.

			Okay, flame away...
