Days of Our Lives fans are eagerly awaiting the return of beloved character Jack Devereaux,
portrayed by Matthew Ashford. After a year-long absence from the soap, Jack is set to make his comeback,
marking a significant moment for the show. His return episode is scheduled for Tuesday,
bringing excitement and speculation among viewers about the future storylines in Salem.
Jack’s return follows his departure from Salem alongside his wife Jennifer Horton, driven out of town by Xander, Paul, and Gwen. The couple was forced away from Jack’s newspaper, The Spectator, under blackmail. Matthew Ashford, who has portrayed Jack on and off since 1987, returns amidst fan anticipation about potential returns of other beloved characters.
While Jack’s return sparks hope among fans, there’s also speculation about the possible return of his daughter Abby. Played by various actors over the years, including Marcy Miller, Abby’s character was tragically killed off in June 2022. Marcy Miller expressed disappointment in the decision to write off Abby, suggesting there were alternative ways to handle her character’s storyline.
The soap’s writers clarified that Abby’s departure was due to Marcy Miller’s contract situation rather than storyline necessity, prompting fan outcry over losing such a longstanding character. Despite recent storylines investigating Abby’s death, there’s no official confirmation of Marcy Miller’s return or Abby’s revival in Salem.
With Jack Devereaux’s return, fans hope for potential storylines that could bring Abby back into the fold, although only time will tell if the writers choose to revive her character. Stay tuned for more updates and emotional twists in ‘Days Of Our Lives’ as the beloved characters’ futures unfold.
