Members will81 Posted November 15, 2021 Members Share Posted November 15, 2021 Agreed. John was such a moral centre. I just recently watched Eileen's first year back on Y&R in 99 and when John comes back she is so happy, you can tell they had such a respect and love for each other. It was such a sweet reunion. Jerry really made John more than just a patriarchal figure. I liked that he loved his kids, but also knew when to give them a metaphorical back hand. Loved when John would stick to Jack (more so Terry Lester's Jack). When he tells Jack he's going to get Brad to move back into the house, lol. "Oh you're going to get Brad back" and Terry "WHHAAAATTT!!!" haha Even Jerry and Terry's first scene together, it just worked immediately. How comfortable he and Eileen really were and seemed like a real father/daughter. Actually the whole of the original Abbott's (well technically Jerry was a replacement) just worked beautifully. They seemed like a real family. I also remember hearing that Jerry credited playing John with making him a better father in life, which I think is very sweet.
