Jake Green / Skeet Ulrich

I keep seeing postings here about how could the writers “write off” Johnston/ he was the “main” character and Gerald McRaney was the “main” star, etc. After I read those kind of postings, I sit back and wonder if they saw the same episodes of Jericho I did.

The main character is Jake, and the main actor is Skeet Ulrich. (This is not just my opinion, but evidenced by the staring order listed in the beginning of each episode).

Yes, Johnston was a good character, and yes Mr. McRaney is a good actor and did a great job in this role. But in order for the story to go forward, and in order for Jake to “be the man is was born to be” Johnston had to either diminish in stature or be written off so Jake could try to fill his father’s shoes. I would rather see the character of Johnston go out a hero than have the strength of his character be diminished somehow. Real life has shocks and changes, and isn’t that part of the what the storyline of Jericho is all about—shocks and changes and how people adjust to them? 19  out of 19 found this valuable.

I think the character Johnston will return in flashbacks... so don't think his acting (superb as it is) will disappear.... He'll beeee bachk... lol!
