@@ultravioletpisces3666 The writers on the Y&R didn't see how a man could head up a cosmetics company which is why he was let go. I could understand his leaving the show IF that was his choice. I didn't understand why they killed off the patriarch, John Abbott was loved by many. RIP Jerry Douglas!

John Abbott was the perfect soap opera dad. He was so genuinely caring with his Abbott children. He was always there for them. Jerry Douglas was excellent in this role. God bless him.

I grew up watching The Abbotts having breakfast together with Aunt Mamie their maid,those were good times.God bless The Young and the Restless

I love how the Abbots are close with each other and the breakfast scenes they always had!

wow so many years of watching this iconic masterpiece. with my mother as a kid, with my aunt as a teen, and with my wife. haven't seen it in a very long time, so I got a lil teary myself looking back on the Abbots. wow thanks for the memories

The alheizmers story line needs an award in itself. So many times I wanted to or did cry because the direction and acting was so on point. You cry not because of the subject matter at hand but the actors and directors move you and take you there. It may hurt, but it's so real and beautiful to watch unfold. I'm so happy to be a viewer to watch this wonderful yet tragic, art in motion. Bravo Abbot Family!

What a wonderful group of people, I love watching them on Y&R, outstanding actors!!☺

Awwww....I LOVE THIS!!! I've been watching the show since I was a kid. I remember the show transitioning from the Brooks/Foster clan as the core families to the Abbott/Williams/Newman core families during the early 80's. In fact, I remember the episode back in 1982 when the characters of Ashley and Traci were introduced to the audience. John/Jack characters had already been established in Genoa City. Ashley and Traci were introduced on the same day/episode. John visited Ashley in college, then went to visit Traci at boarding school to plan their return to Genoa City. Amazing Golden Era of Y&R. I LOVED the Abbott family breakfast scenes!!! John at the head of table,. Jack to John's right. Ashley/Traci sitting across from Jack. Mamie greeting the family with a smile, fresh baked cinnamon rolls, coffee and words of encouragement for the family!!! Where is Mamie?? ? Mamie should have been included in this interview!!!

In 1988, I was recovering from surgery and lucked into Y & R in the hospital. It was the part of the story where Ashley's husband was shot, murdered in his office by one of his psychiatric patients. I'm still watching! Over the past 30 years, it only gets better and better. Thank you all.

My favorite soap! I’ve been addicted since it’s first premiere. Nothing like the original characters! Ashley,Traci, Jack, Dina and John. Peter is still fine as wine.

I was born March 3, 1973. I started my journey with Y&R 5 years later and elementary school too. I love this show🤩💖45😆👍🏽💫💯 Way 2 Go Forever Young & Restless 🏆

One of the best things Y&R did was bring keep John Abbott's memory alive. I was always excited to see him, because he is an iconic part of the show.

you're absolutely right, the reason the Young and the Restless is so awesome it's because they do have a strong family base and they don't forget about important people who leave they honor them. Our society could use a little bit more of that.

Have been watching the show since 1970 and still love it! Touching on Alzheimers means a lot as we are in the middle of this due to my Mom having it. It literally rips your heart apart..... So happy that a show has the guts to bring it to the forefront as unless you are living it you truly don't understand...... Thanks Y & R!!! The actors and actresses on this show are awesome!!!

Me & my mom was long time fan of the Young & the Restless since the 80's. RIP mom.

Thank you all for 45 wonderful years!!!

This is my altime favourite show when I was 12 to growing older to this day... forever young and the restless! 😊💖 to all my #1 stars! You guys rock!!

I can’t believe it’s been that long and I’m still watching so many changes I don’t like , so nice too see the real family altogether they have my heart ♥️

The best thing that Y&R did was create the Abbott family. They're as iconic as any classic soap opera family.

This show gives me life, love everything about it.

Thank You All for the many wonderful Years!!.. God bless you!!.💖

Having watched Y&R in England from 1988-95 before it was removed completely from our screens, I do wish there was a channel that would show old complete episodes. The years that I watched were nothing short of great TV, acting and story lines every day. Loved The Abbott family, especially John and Jack's relationship with Victor Newman.

I miss John Abbott & Katherine Chancellor so much!😢

I love love that show. Watch it everyday for years.

Such a group of very talented actors! Have been watching this show for 25 plus years! Great show. Hoping soon new shows will be shot!

I love all you guys! Been watching since I was in school, I am now 70.

I love the storyline on Young & Restless Show. Happy 45th Anniversary. It is a great joy to watch Y&R in our home.

Love the Abbott Family, much love from Toronto Canada and Guyana ❤🇨🇦🇬🇾

So love this soap. I have been watching it since I was a teenager.

I wish the ghost of "John Abbott" would make more appearances, especially now, to get Jack and Ashley back together again in the business!!! Loved that character!!!

Hey I watched this show since it began but not every show. I can remember watching a soap that was one before Y&R was on it was Love of Live . I loved that I could watch it on a sick day and in the summer . Oh and I can remember the first Jackie Boy LOL Thank you Jerry ( Daddy Abbott ) Douglas 👏👏👏👏

I love everything about the young and the restless especially Dina it is on point we are going thru this. Thank you so much for the story line for people to try to understand

Beautiful interview, luv this family...Grew up with them...

Thanks for posting this. Of all soap opera families, my favorite has always been the Abbotts. The family has been the "heart and soul" of Y&R for 35 years. To be candid, Y&R has really suffered in the past decade from a revolving door of producers and writers who frequently didn't seem to have a clue of write for the show. I firmly believe the Abbotts (particularly Peter Bergman as Jack and Eileen Davidson as Ashley) are a key reason that the ratings for Y&R have not eroded as the quality of what we've seen in the past decade has noticeably declined. Whether they are arguing or are fondly remembering their father, ANY scene between Jack and Ashley is always stellar. I could watch an entire episode of the Abbott clan simply reading a phone book!! I miss John Abbott and wish the writers would bring "ghost" John back to talk to his kids (heck, let him talk to his widow Gloria as well!).

I love the Abbotts and I really miss John Abbott.

Why she has never come back to visit in the past 15 years (even when, in everyday life, she would --- John's funeral; niece Drucilla's funeral; great niece Lily battling cancer) is beyond me. The woman viewed the Abbott offspring as her "children."
