The two scenes with Jack & Parker were just so moving & well done yesterday. Of all the dynamics on the show (other than J&C) between characters I especially enjoy this relationship. Through the tough times & the good times the dynamic works so well. Of course all the credit goes to MP & MH & the nice relationship they seem to have formed. Bravo.

I couldn't agree more. Whether Jack and Parker and in tune, or at odds with each other, they play extremely well together.

I agree, wonderful performances by both actors. Very moving scenes. Helps to make up for some of the other crap we have to endure.

Parker looked like his heart was breaking for Jack. Such amazing performances from both actors.

I pray that Mick will stay with the show, but with his talent...

What was even more amazing to me was that usually there's some sort of hugging or embracing to console the other person. Here it was restrained grief that made the scenes even more poignant. The dialogue was spot on & the reactions of both actors was so intuitive & perfectly executed. MH has a great future. Marty

These scenes, and I'm sure up and coming ones will be the highlight of MP's career on ATWT. He's gone from mediocre to good, to this pinnacle - an Emmy winning performance that's for sure ..... if the Academy gives ATWT its fair shake, that is. MH is and has always been outstanding in his work. MP gave it all yesterday in those scenes with MH....down to the crack in his voice and the tone he used. When in deep sorrow, one can hardly speak, and MP nailed it. Bravo to everyone these last couple of weeks for a job more than well done.
