The actor pointed out Jack’s recent encounter with Leo as evidence of his interest in mentoring younger individuals, mirroring how Vern mentored Jack in the past.

Jack can take charge, and I’m eager to help out,” Ashford said. “I’m not sure about this ‘Leo’ reference or where it might lead, but I’m up for the challenge.

Additionally, The Bay’s star expressed his desire to feature in his daughter Gwen’s plotline. He commended Emily O’Brien for joining the series, labeling her as “an excellent addition.

Ashford suggested that Jack should try to be friends with Paul Telfer’s character, Xander, whom he referred to as “Jack’s secret indulgence.” He emphasized that Xander and Jack connected due to their shared struggles with personal issues, or “demons.” Interestingly, their friendship faced difficulties when Xander and Gwen seized control of half of The Spectator from Jack.
