Apparently he’s from NJ, doesn’t sound remotely Aussie. He’s from OLTL where he was Joey Buchanan? Are we stuck with him because he’s another Friend of Frank?
Can we vote him off the parapet?

How many boyfriends has Frank put in these jobs over the years?

He's not just a FOF, but of Laura Wright, too. Apparently they know each other from when he was Joey on OLTL and she was Ally on Loving. Wow talk about a blast from the past.

I mean...eh. Mesure wanted to leave. It would be different if he was fired, but he wanted to leave while he was in the middle of a storyline.

It is what it is, i just do not understand why they didn't cast an Australian actor or someone who can do the accent. its bizarre.

Maybe they're in short supply and that's also why we haven't gotten that Jax recast yet.
Though in retrospect Mesure could have played Jax.

NuJack is MEH. They couldn’t have found someone better for the recast?

It seemed like rush casting. Wasn't much of episode lapses between the two Jack's

I’ve seen him in other shows. He’s not a bad actor. But he’s a lot different than who we are used to. They’re gonna have to change a lot about the character to make him fit.

I’m not understanding why he can’t adopt an accent and blue contact lenses.
