Joshua and Jacob Rips

Caroline was more than happy to see her newest grandchild. Bo said "We're not going to see him again for awhile are we?" Caroline then named all the people that JT was going to go see in the pub. {5/7/01}

Shawn and Caroline watched as Shawn and Bo had a father and son chat. Grandpa Shawn wished he would have been able to connect with Bo when he was that age. Caroline said "You were a good father Shawn, you were just raised in the old country where the father was always right." Joshua/Jacob was eating something. This is DAYS way of keeping young children happy on screen. It works until they are about 2, then nothing really works again until age 4. {5/7/01}

Caroline then bought JT back over to Bo when Shawn left the table. Bo was laughing and Caroline said "What has made you smile so big?" Bo didn't really answer but it was just something him and Shawn were talking about. He then looked at JT and said "Good thing I still have you little guy. So you can keep me young, because that brother of yours is growning up fast." Bo called him his buddy. {5/7/01}

Jennifer babysat JT the night of the party at Tuscany. She needed to get home to talk with Jack. After talking with Hope on the phone, they agreed Jenn would take JT to her house, using the spare car seat that belonged to Isaac. Jenn enjoyed being with JT. She was talking with him about how nice it is to have a baby and that she wanted another one. JT was just hanging out in the backseat. At one point he pulled his blanket up over his face to hide. {5/18/01}

Jacob/Joshua was very content in the backseat, looking around and even waving. Who knew there was danger ahead... {5/18/01}

Jenn asked JT what he was doing "back there." Jacob/Joshua knew she was talking to him. He took out his pacifier and then waved at her while he kicked his feet. Then Jennifer noticed smoke coming from the area where the bridge is. {5/18/01}

As they drove closer, Jennifer still didn't realize what was happening. The bridge they were about to pass over had just been blown up. Jennifer told JT it looked like they had the whole dark road to themselves. She began singing, "over the river, across the bridge..." It was too late for her to stop. The seat belt holding the car seat in the car came loose and everything played out in slow motion, including Joshua waving his hands up in the air as the carseat came loose. Jennifer's car was hanging over the edge. To film the scene, the car seat was shaken and then the car was shaken by props people. {5/18/01}
