He is multi-Daytime Emmy winning actor, who is synonymous with daytime drama, and now he is about to achieve another milestone in his career.  Of course, we are talking about The Young and the Restless’ Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott).

Bergman is set to celebrate his 30th anniversary with the top-rated soap when he was first introduced to viewers in the role back on November 27th, 1989.  In his honor, the series is delivering a special episode to air on Monday, November 25th.

In the episode, Jack takes a walk down memory lane as he reads his sister’s, Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland), family memoir, that details the triumphs and tragedies of the iconic Abbott family.  Also, viewers will be treated to classic clips and appearances from the Abbott family, including fan favorites Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott) and Maitland.

Bergman shares his sentiments in a statement:  “It’s been a real joy for me, to retrace Jack’s footsteps over the last 30 years. I am struck by the enduring friendships I have made at Y&R, and deeply grateful to our fans, who have stood by Jack, cheered him on, or waited patiently for him to get his act together…for three decades!  I’m happy, amazed and truly thankful…and it sure feels good. Thank you one and all.”

During his 40 years in daytime television, including 10 years as Dr. Cliff Warner on All My Children, Bergman has received 21 Emmy Award nominations for Lead Actor, and won three times.  In addition, Peter took home two Soap Opera Digest awards for Lead Actor, as well as three Soap Opera Update MVP Awards throughout his soap performances, making Peter the most decorated actor in Y&R history.

Bergman got emotional on today’s November 15th episode of The Talk sharing his love for his co-stars and the Abbott family.  Watch the clip below.

Now let us know, if you are excited to see the Jack Abbott episode coming up on Y&R via the comment section for Peter’s 30 years in Genoa City.

WHOA! 30 Years, doing the same thing..
Gotta tip a hat to Perter..
30 years WOW! near a lifetime.

Congrats Peter you have always shown class the one still positive thing Y&R has going for it!

I agree with you Kay. The Abbott’s always, in my opinion, bought class to Geona City. I am looking forward to his stand alone show. It will be nice to see the Abbott’s in their prime. Especially good old John. Thanks for listening and happy viewing

Congratulations! A well-deserved milestone in a wonderful career!

I remember Peter as Cliff on AMC. Cliff and Nina:)

Me, too, DMRR! (Remember Cliff and Nina’s gorgeous wedding?? That, and Bergman’s classic Vicks Formula 44 commercial, “I’m not a doctor, but I play one on tv”…Lol….) Hence for me, Peter will always be Dr. Cliff Warner, just as the late, great Terry Lester will always be the REAL Jack Abbott!!

YES, I remember!!!

Yes Shay Terry’s Jack version was fantastic we lost him because of Bill Bell deciding his daughter had to be in every storyline !

I loved Terry Lester. He was one of the two reasons I started watching the show. The other was all the wonderful cat fights Tracy and Lauren had first over Danny and than Brad. Ah the good old days

Congratulations to an amazing actor! I am a huge Peter Bergman fan – he is my favourite actor and Jack my favourite character on Y&R. I also happen to think he’s the best actor on the show.

Previews

The Young and the Restless Previews: Jordan Still Has a Trick Up Her Sleeve, Ashley’s Troubling Alter, Connor’s OCD

Teasers for The Young and the Restless for the week of March 18-22nd have been revealed, and it should be noted, it will be a shortened week of episodes, because on Thursday, March 21st and Friday, March 22nd, Y&R will be preempted for CBS’ coverage of the 2024 March Madness College Basketball tournament.

That being said, a few stories will bring the drama for a fresh new set of episodes airing early next week.

In the “what to look for”, while Victor (Eric Braeden) with the help of Nick (Joshua Morrow), have Jordan (Colleen Zenk) held captive in a warehouse, things look to go awry, when Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Claire (Hayley Erin) help convince Victor that they need to confront Jordan, in part, to help Nikki move on from the trauma she has received from Jordan including getting her back on the bottle.

According to Amelia Heinle, who spoke to Soap Opera Digest of the upcoming ‘meeting’: “The last people that Jordan was expecting to see while in captivity were Nikki, Victoria, and Claire, but Jordan cannot resist the urge to take on her rivals with one trick up her sleeve that no one will see coming.”

Meanwhile, Billy (Jason Thompson) is taken aback by his talk with Ashley (Eileen Davidson). Will he figure out, as Tucker (Trevor St. John) has beginning to do, that something is off and concerning about Ashley’s behavior? How long do you think it will take for someone to figure out she has had a personality break and now has an alter controlling her life, or trying to?

Adam (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea’s (Melissa Claire Egan) son, Connor (Judah Mackey) had been diagnosed with OCD and now Chelsea feels very guilty. Will Connor’s OCD bring about continued thoughts as he presented to his parents, that he is hating himself? Stay tuned.

Below are the official Y&R teasers for next week:

Monday, March 18

Victor receives a shocking request from Nikki , Billy has a troubling encounter with Ashley, and Summer challenges Claire.

Tuesday, March 19

Victor tests Nick and Summer’s loyalty, Chelsea blames herself for Connor’s issues, and Nikki’s plan for revenge against Jordan backfires.

Wednesday, March 20

The Newmans support Claire as she struggles to connect with her new family.

Are you ready for Jordan to be caught once and for all and pay for her crimes against the Newman family, or do you want her to escape from her captivity so she can continue to torment the clan? What do you think of Ashley’s alter? Do you hope Y&R tells Connor’s OCD story with depth and humanity? Comment below.

Shemar Moore Teases “Anything is Possible with Numbers” and ‘S.W.A.T.’s’ Current 7th and Final Season May Not Be Its Last

S.W.A.T is now in what is supposed to be its seventh and final season on CBS. The crime drama starring former The Young and the Restless, Daytime Emmy winner, Shemar Moore (ex-Malcolm Winters), has aired its sixth of its thirteen final season order from the network.

As viewers know, CBS canceled S.W.A.T. only for it to be resurrected after public outcry for the fan favorite series with Moore.  Recently, an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Shemar teased that although it looks like this is the end of the line for Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson and squad, it may not be. Perhaps, there could still be another season.

Taking that one step further in a post on Instagram this week, Shemar responded to a fan on Instagram on if season 7 is indeed the last. Moore expressed, “It might be the end and that would and will make me quite sad … it’s out of my hands .. it’s up to CBS and SONY … not me… I am doing the best I can to rally the remaining troops and crew to keep the show alive. But just REMEMBER, numbers matter!! And … nobody DIED!!! They can always come back!! Doesn’t mean they will.. but ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH NUMBERS! Think about it!”

Meanwhile, on the Friday, March 15th episode, Luca is shot, leaving many to wonder if actor, Kenny Johnson, is exiting the series before its current finale. Viewers won’t find out the result of the shooting until S.W.A.T. returns following several weeks off for the March Madness College Basketball Tournament on April 5th.

Back in February, S.W.A.T showrunner, Andrew Dettman, told TV Line: “Looking at (Season 7) being the final 13 (episodes), we wanted to give everybody their proper curtain call.” Johnson is recurring this season.

Currently, S.W.A.T. airs on Firdays on CBS at 8/7c and streams on Paramount+

So, do you think Shemar can rally the troops one more time and still get S.W.A.T. picked up for an eighth season? D you think it should just go out on a high note at season seven? Comment below.
