Jack Patrick Deveraux was played by a
doll for the first few months of his life. Finally a baby/babies were
cast in the role. They first appeared on Novemmer 12, 2004 when
Jennifer and Patrick returned home from New Salem. Since Jack Patrick
hasn't been seen in the role very often, it's not clear if the same
baby has been used since November. Until we have further information
about the babies in the role of Jack Jr., we will display pics of all
actors here, in order of their appearance.

Jack Jr. wasn't seen very
often in the first few months. He was typically with a
relative, while Jenn dealt with Abby and her other family
members.
Mickey and Maggie took
care of him on the night of Abby's birthday party.

Mickey and Maggie brought Jack
Jr. to the hospital, saying he was "feeling very left out."
The baby wasn't sleeping, so Mickey thought he'd bring him
to Jennifer. There was a surprise reunion about to take
place. {4.27.05}
Jack asked, "Is that who I
think it is?" Jennifer answered, "Yes, that is who you think
it is Jack. It's your son." Jack immediately came over to
see the boy, saying it couldn't be him. He was just a tiny
baby when Jack had last seen him.
{4.27.05}
Mickey said they thought they
heard Jack Jr. say "Dada." Mickey kissed Jack Jr. as the
baby cuddled up close to him. Then he passed the little boy
off to his dad. Jack said, "Hi there, I'm your Dada," as he
held his boy. Jack Jr. gave him quite a stare, trying to
figure out who he was.
{4.27.05}
Jack said, "I can't believe
this. I'm back with my family." Then he kissed his son and
said, "Jack--Jack Deveraux." He was so happy to be with his
namesake again.
The family watched as he
greeted his son. {4.27.05}
"My family's together again,"
said Jack. Then he headed toward Abby's hospital bed with
the boy. {4.27.05}
The first shots of the happy
family. Jack said, "Here we are, all together again." Jack
Jr. was now very tuned into the scene. He looked right at
Abby. {4.27.05}
Jenn agreed that they were
very lucky. Jack kissed Jack Jr. and Jenn held his little
hand. The baby looked right at her.
{4.27.05}
The baby looked right up at
Matthew. He must have adlibbed his next line. He said, "How
are you? It's me, your old man." Both Missy and Ashley
laughed. {4.27.05}
The baby looked right at
Ashley as she laughed. Ashley said,
"Hi." {4.27.05}
The baby looked back at Ashley
as she laughed, then at Missy.
{4.27.05}
Jack kissed his son one more
time. Abby looked at Jack Jr., still laughing at him,
saying, "He is so cute." Jack Jr. was just starting to crack
a smile when the scene ended.
{4.27.05}
After Abby got out of the
hospital, the family celebrated her 17th birthday again.
They had several special family moments like this
one.
