A new opponent could spell the end for Jack Abbott

It looks like Jack Abbott will be getting an opponent for the race of Senate after all. After Nikki's departure from the race, Jack thought he was in the clear for a clean victory:THINK AGAIN!

Next week, Jack's new running mate will be none other than Gordon Thomson, who will play the role of Randal Bates. Thomson is best known for being in such soaps as Dynasty, Santa Barbara and Sunset Beach. Back in 1997, Thomson worked with the cast of Young and the Restless, therefore, working with Peter Bergman will be a wonderful experience.

Thomson will arrive in Genoa City beginning April 23rd.
