I was hoping to see Jack back with Jennifer at Alice’s funeral but I guess that is not happening now. Mama Mia is supposed to come to knoxville next month. I would love to see him in that though. However, I am so glad we are atleast getting Jennifer, Laura, and i am also suprised to see Roark Clitchow back as Mike. I am glad he is back as well.
