Bergman does remember a storyline that still makes him cringe. They decided Jack had served in Viet Nam, sired a child he did not know about, and his now-grown son, Keemo, came to town. "Whenever I am displeased with a storyline, all I have to do is think 'Keemo,' and I realize how bad things could get," Bergman explains.

He hated the story. Doesn't say why. Everything else coupled with the Angie/Cliff story is conjecture.

 

Thank you for posting this.

it makes Jack a set age

 

Jack was in his 30's in the early 80's so it's not like he would be a spring chicken either way.

Say what you will, but I STILL believe PB ain't down for "the racial thing."

Soap actors are a weird breed. That's what I am discovering. They sh-t on phenomenal, character driven stories--the meat and potatoes , but love campy stories--the scraps. 

 

This!  

Colleen Zenk and her curious opinions on her 'best' storylines and pairings immediately come to mind as one example of this. How could she fail to see what we all saw??

 

Over the last decade or so, Y&R has been particularly bad with curbing their actors tendency to want to steer stories in their characters' favor, even if it proves detrimental to the show's storylines overall.

That's because they don't have Bill Bell anymore, telling them to "say the line" (to quote what he once told Jess Walton). Back when he was still alive and in charge, I think he made it clear who dictated what around the studio.

Of course, as creator and showrunner, who dared challenge Bell Sr.'s vision??  My point is that any headwriter should accept and wisely utilize the authority that comes with the title to best serve the show's stories, not coddle the talent.

I was thrown by her comments. She's had way better material in the past and to love the Henry story is just absurd and full of [!@#$%^&*].

For real!?

 

Or are you hoping for this to happen? Now this would be a blast from the past - and Peter Bergman was not playing the role back then...

That quote doesn't necessarily mean that it is someone from the past that isn't currently on the canvas. It just says someone is coming back around into his life that he thought was gone. Could it be another Jack/Nikki pairing? Maybe he just thought that the show would never go there again. With Victor leaving town maybe Jack and Nikki will rekindle before he gets back. 

 

The cable guide says for Friday's show that Jack and Nikki share a close moment.

 

For me, Jack and Nikki don't work as a couple. I never thought there was any great love between them.

They never were but it was great seeing TL version of Jack woe Nikki and make Victor's blood boil.
