JACK ABBOTT is fleeing Genoa City in a white luxury sedan, desperate to get away. And who can blame him? From having a doppelgänger to several bad romances, Jack’s had a lot on his plate over the years. Coping with Dina’s return into his life has been taxing enough, but his mother’s worsening Alzheimer’s adds even more layers of grief, all of it visible on Jack’s face.
“I just need some fresh air,” he tells his sister Traci via cell phone, but then …
“Cut!”
The make-believe ride down a Television City green screen highway ends, and Peter Bergman smoothly slides out of the sedan.
His furrowed brow gives way to a confident smile and warm handshake, and as he welcomes Watch! into his stately dressing room overlooking The Young and the Restless’s set, it’s clear that Bergman’s charm, charisma, and gentlemanly values make him nothing like the cad and daytime legend he’s played for 30 remarkable years.
Bergman might share some external traits with Jack Abbott; both are polished men of good taste, and you’ll never see Bergman on Instagram having a beer in flip-flops. But as the father of two who’s been married for more than three decades, Bergman reveals during a candid talk that he couldn’t be more unlike the womanizing, enemy-destroying, and chair-hurling Jack Abbott if he tried.
