'Days of our Lives' Spotlight: Jack Deveraux and Jennifer Horton

I recently wrote out about the disastrous pairing of Daniel (Shawn Christian) and Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) on Days of Our Lives, asking if it was time for them to call it quits.  Based on the emails, comments on this website and the social media responses we received, many fans think it is.

The continued focus on this couple in the past few weeks has not helped make me root for them. In fact, I find myself rooting for Liam (Mark Collier). Something is not working. What did work for many years was the pairing of Jack and Jennifer. In their time they were the it couple. Their story had so many layers to it and the audience longed for them to be together. There was angst, drama, laughter, adventure and, most of all, love. It was obvious these two people belonged together.

The dynamic Matthew Ashford (the definitive Jack Deveraux) may never return to the show. And if he did, would it even be possible to recapture the dynamic the couple once had? Could the writers finally get it right? Jack and Jennifer fans remained very loyal to their favorite couple over the years, and they never had it easy.

So for those Jack and Jennifer fans out there, or for DAYS fans who never experienced this couple at their peak, below are a selection of classic videos that I consider to be some of their most defining moments.

Enjoy!
