Members Chris B Posted November 11, 2021 Members Share Posted November 11, 2021 Such sad news! He was a charming man and the perfect head for the Abbott family. He had chemistry with everybody young and old and he deserved more time on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaytimeFan Posted November 11, 2021 Members Share Posted November 11, 2021 I always felt that John Abbott and Bill Bell were two sides of the same coin: strong family patriarchs beloved by their children. Jerry exuded a warmth and class that was special. His onscreen chemistry with all the actors who played his children, Jeanne Cooper, and of course Jess Walton was tremendous.

Members Paul Raven Posted November 11, 2021 Members Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hopefully Y&R will have the Abbott children gather to remember John as an onscreen tribute to Jerry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cat Posted November 11, 2021 Members Share Posted November 11, 2021 Sad news. Jerry Douglas had old-school movie-star presence on a show like Y&R and his character was an anchor. LML killing him off and then bringing back a kooky lookalike as a sop to fans was a terribly short-sighted move. It was a JFP move, done to provide an Emmy reel for Y&R that year. No more, no less. May he RIP. He was obviously beloved by members of the cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
