From Soapdom: 

 

 

_{After forty-five years, Daytime’s crown jewel is still young and restless! Jill will steam roll in from Chicago to not only catch up on unfinished business and old scores to settle but to get this anniversary party started! Special guests visiting will include Raul and Brittany from the Glo by Jabot days, the original Y&R heroines in the form of the Brooks sisters Lori and Leslie, and by an ex-Mrs. Victor Newman! As the anniversary is commemorated, watch the attraction between Devon and Hilary heat up while Nick and Sharon become close as they reflect on the past. JT and Billy will both be deer in the headlights when the two have a surprised encounter from Mac! Dina returns and has a spooky, shocking secret; one that will leave Ashley and Abby utterly speechless! Jack’s world gets turned upside down and he will clash one more with Victor but this time the result will change their lives permanently. Don’t miss out on the anniversary fun beginning on March 26^th!}

I say just make Jack brother to Sheila Carter or make Rex his dad and call it a day. 

Have Billy be Victor's son and Victoria discover she is actually Kevin Bancroft's daughter!

I was on break at work and literally gasp. God, I hope they don't go there, but it sounds like from an above post they are.

 

SMH.

There's also one that says Dina AND Stuart Brooks had an affair...

If that is the case, then Jack slept with his half sister Peggy Brooks and tried to seduce his other half sister Chris Brooks Foster.

 

I guess they would just gloss over that like they did on Dallas when it was revealed Ray Krebbs was Jock's son and he was sleeping with Lucy in the 5 part mini series. 

Rather than messing with Aunt Jack's "Abbott" paternity, I'd take any of the following rewrites:

 

1. Cane is really Philip

2. Ashley is really John's

3. John is alive and has been in witness protection

4. Traci gave birth to twins

5. Nikki/Jack's baby lived

6. Graham was drugging Dina ala Empire fake ALS

 

If the audience could accept:

1. Philip faked his death because he was gay

2. Sarah/Patty plastic surgery

3. Mariah (well that had more to do with CG)

4. StePhyllis not knowing she was sleeping with a double

5. Neil holding an ill Hilary hostage

and on and on and on, then I think the Y&R crowd would be darned OK with my suggestions.

THOSE WERE IMPORTANT STORIES TO TELL!

Jack isn't an Abbott? Jesus christ Mal.

Wait, what?  Jack Abbott is NOT an Abbott?  That. Makes. No. Sense.

Can the whole Abbott family just take some DNA tests?

Since Bill Bell had to retire( and later passed away), The revolving door of hack writers have mostly relied upon paternity reveals/screw ups, long lost children, and look alike storylines for the past 20 years.

Hell NO!

Speculation on another board already has it that Jack is the product of an affair Dina had with Albert Miller. Good grief this show doesn't learn does it?

Talk of Jack/Victor being related is an absolute disaster. As has been noted, we all remember the Kay/Jill mess, which somehow got worse with Jill being a Fenmore.

I have a feeling Braeden and Bergman refused a Victor/Jack are brothers story, so I doubt it would happen, but who knows??

Remember Faith's "Who's the Daddy" w/ Nick, Jack, and Billy, and Katie's "Who's the Daddy" w/ Billy and Ben? If Jack and/or Billy were Newmans, it would've been discovered during those DNA tests.

I think it is 86. I could be wrong though...it's been so many years since those scenes aired that I have forgotten the exact year...LOL
