Topic: Why Didn't Jack Mention...

Additional Comments: ... JJ? When he and Holden were talking, Jack mentioned that he had Janet and Parker and Sage and Emma - it was like he was looking into The Romper Room Mirror - but he never mentioned JJ? What happened to him?
Everything else seems easy to connect with after not watching for so long.

JJ is attending the speed-learning medical school Lucy Montgomery went to, the one that doesn't even require a B.A. to enter. Soon JJ will be back in town doing his residency at Memorial or maybe even go straight to chief of staff when Bob retires.

  • And we'll call him JJ Howser, M.D. You know, Doogie's bastard son that Jack adopted. -eom/plmd

    Where is JJ? - Part of the answer is that the actor is now appearing on OLTL as ''Tom''.
    Why TIIC in charge at ATWT have just let the character of JJ drift in limbo is unclear, as is why he's not always included when referring to the Carjack kids. He's easy for them to ignore with occasional mentions of boarding school, not so easy for the audience...

    I firmly believe the spoilers that said Carly was supposed to have killed JJ in a drunk driving accident. After the viewer outrage caused the storyline to be changed, it seems the writers are just ignoring the boy.

    I would guess because JJ's not in town.

    Isn't JJ at the expensive boarding school that Carly insisted he go to ?
