Jack Wilson - Daniel Amalm

[Skylover]

Love Jack.

Such a shame to hear that Daniel had a difficult time playing him. According to a news article I read the other day, he really struggled with it, and resorted to comforted eating and drinking loads of coffee and coke to cope. I hope he knows how loved his character was (by me at least!)

He has become a dad in the last few years which is lovely to hear. I know he'd never return to the show but I'd love it if he did.

This must of reflected in the writing. The happy go lucky jack from 1994 isn't recognisable now

I still like him in 1995, but yeah he has changed a fair bit, the actor put on weight too.

Jack was one of my fave characters back in the day. His two timing with Selina and being given a shiner by her and Alf laughing at it. Also pretending to have a broken arm.

He is brilliant. Daniel still gets recognised for his role apparently. I loved Jack's dress sense in 1994, they gave him baggier clothes in 1995

Yes Jack's changed a lot this year. His constant scams and apologies in 1994 were getting tiresome though. The character needed to develop. It would be nice to see him be happy again though.I agree I think Daniel Amalm played the part really well. 1995 is such a strong year for the show and he's very much a part of that.

Spoiler

I'm trying to think what's still to come for Jack (after making amends for the bush fire). I know there's his relationship with Sally, but between that and Michael's death/Jack's exit, I can't think of anything else he does.

Don't worry, I just meant they

have a rocky relationship (following his causing Nelson's burns) which plays an important role in the Ross house for a while.

Thank goodness, I thought I'd just never read it mentioned, the thought was certainly odd as they have such a good sibling relationship. 

Poor Jack. I know he did some stupid things leading to the bush fire. But I'm gonna miss him so much when he goes.

I can't remember much either other than that he was an unsympathetic jerk when Shane died
