I thought this as well but the 4 letter word has the religious connection and I can't find a Jack in the Bible.

I've just noticed I've posted my questions in the wrong section so I've put them in Quizzes and Puzzles as well.
Sorry.

2. As the question says "played" and not "plays" the actor could be the one who played her other son Nicky but I can't remember who that was.

[Kanewood]

Just remembered - Adam Rickett - although surname not 8 letters but Adam fits.

3. Sharon Mitchell

There's a Lord of the Rings actor called Elijah Wood but surname doesn't fit.

Many thanks. I think I've got an answer for them all now, but not sure about the comeback king.

Did you stick with Jack Shepherd?

Think I probably will stick with Jack Shepherd, but have kinda lost heart with the comeback king.
Thanks,anyway.
