What people are saying
Well, let me just say, flashbacks or dream sequences… they never found the body. Maybe he’s out there somewhere with amnesia… he’s like a carpenter, or something. He’s hobbling around with a sore knee. They’re like, ‘Jack, is that you?!’ He’s like, ‘Who are you?’ I don’t know… But yes, of course, we have a long relationship with Hallmark and working with them has been a real pleasure. So, you never know. I think everyone’s kind of moved on from Jack.
NO!
