Lucas arrived in Salem in 93. It's also not the sort of info I could see Jennifer volunteering to him. Quite frankly, I'm shocked that it was mentioned at all I agree with Ponz. By the time Lucas came to town, Matt's Jack was gone or almost gone. Plus, at that time, Lucas didn't know that Jennifer was his sister yet. By the time (Faux)Jack reappeared, Jennifer was set to marry Peter Blake. While in real life, it may be something that would no doubt get mentioned, I can buy that it didn't on the soap. Even when everyone threw what Jack did in his face, it was usually referred to as "the thing he did to Kayla." But, as could probably only happen in soaps, they got past it to the point that Jack was best man at her wedding. I could understand why people would take their cues from her and move on, without dwelling on it. Since most had moderately embraced Jack as part of Jennifer's life, it was probably treated as that dirty little secret that people who were around at the time knew about but didn't necessarily talk about; especially since Kayla lived in CA. It's a complicated and messy thing to try and explain to outsiders.

It's a complicated and messy thing to try and explain to outsiders. I agree, and I will take it that the people by the time Lucas came around had accepted Jack enough, to not be gossiping about it. I don't think there is any way Alice or Maggie would have told Lucas about it. What could Bill say about, he raped Laura? The Bradys all took Kayla's lead that if she could forgive him and let things go so could they. Shawn and Caroline said so much to him at the benefit for Stephanie when she was missing. Roman was in Salem then, Bo wasn't either, or Hope, but I think they were friends enough with him, and his being Jennifer's husband to know he had changed, and not hurt him like that in bringing up his past and gossiping about it to everyone. I like that Lucas didn't know, it shows that the others in Salem at least had enough respect for Jack to let him get past his past. Even Kayla, if she doesn't mention Jack by name. She is showing how much she had forgiven him by protecting him from others finding out about his past that would certainly alter people's opinions of him. I'm glad to hear that acknowledged it.

But, one would think it might have come up, in family discussion. Especially since Jennifer was raped by Lawrence, it would be hard not to mention that her husband raped Kayla. I mean, we are talking public trials, on both accounts. Sure, it's not something you sit around the dinner table and reminisce about. But, we are talking court records, and Spectator articles.

I think the fact that Abby did not find out off say some nasty school friend or some such person was possibly a good story oppurtunity wasted. As Jack always used to say there is always someone to remind you of what you have done wrong!!! *Thank you Shari for my Banner!!! How lucky I am to have such a clever friend!!!!*
