John Abbott was the perfect soap opera dad. He was so genuinely caring with his Abbott children. He was always there for them. Jerry Douglas was excellent in this role. God bless him.
So special to see Papa Abbott, what a great actor. He should never have been let go. He was such an asset.
I guess he wanted to retire. But he comes back as a ghost.
@@ultravioletpisces3666 The writers on the Y&R didn't see how a man could head up a cosmetics company which is why he was let go. I could understand his leaving the show IF that was his choice. I didn't understand why they killed off the patriarch, John Abbott was loved by many. RIP Jerry Douglas!
I grew up watching The Abbotts having breakfast together with Aunt Mamie their maid,those were good times.God bless The Young and the Restless
One of the best things Y&R did was bring keep John Abbott's memory alive. I was always excited to see him, because he is an iconic part of the show.
Yeah but that they tried to Ruin it last year with John not being Jacks father and all of this was Ashleys messing was just BS! Im still glad that Jack is Johns son after all
@@GLBizzie yes, me too.I 👍🙂
I love how the Abbots are close with each other and the breakfast scenes they always had!
wow so many years of watching this iconic masterpiece. with my mother as a kid, with my aunt as a teen, and with my wife. haven't seen it in a very long time, so I got a lil teary myself looking back on the Abbots. wow thanks for the memories
In 1988, I was recovering from surgery and lucked into Y & R in the hospital. It was the part of the story where Ashley's husband was shot, murdered in his office by one of his psychiatric patients. I'm still watching! Over the past 30 years, it only gets better and better. Thank you all.
The alheizmers story line needs an award in itself. So many times I wanted to or did cry because the direction and acting was so on point. You cry not because of the subject matter at hand but the actors and directors move you and take you there. It may hurt, but it's so real and beautiful to watch unfold. I'm so happy to be a viewer to watch this wonderful yet tragic, art in motion. Bravo Abbot Family!
I miss John Abbott & Katherine Chancellor so much!😢
Awwww....I LOVE THIS!!! I've been watching the show since I was a kid. I remember the show transitioning from the Brooks/Foster clan as the core families to the Abbott/Williams/Newman core families during the early 80's.
In fact, I remember the episode back in 1982 when the characters of Ashley and Traci were introduced to the audience. John/Jack characters had already been established in Genoa City. Ashley and Traci were introduced on the same day/episode. John visited Ashley in college, then went to visit Traci at boarding school to plan their return to Genoa City. Amazing Golden Era of Y&R.
I LOVED the Abbott family breakfast scenes!!! John at the head of table,. Jack to John's right. Ashley/Traci sitting across from Jack. Mamie greeting the family with a smile, fresh baked cinnamon rolls, coffee and words of encouragement for the family!!! Where is Mamie?? ? Mamie should have been included in this interview!!!
What a wonderful group of people, I love watching them on Y&R, outstanding actors!!☺
The best thing that Y&R did was create the Abbott family. They're as iconic as any classic soap opera family.
My favorite soap!
I’ve been addicted since it’s first premiere.
Nothing like the original characters!
Ashley,Traci, Jack, Dina and John.
Peter is still fine as wine.
Me & my mom was long time fan of the Young & the Restless since the 80's. RIP mom.
I was born March 3, 1973. I started my journey with Y&R 5 years later and elementary school too. I love this show🤩💖45😆👍🏽💫💯 Way 2 Go Forever Young & Restless 🏆
you're absolutely right, the reason the Young and the Restless is so awesome it's because they do have a strong family base and they don't forget about important people who leave they honor them. Our society could use a little bit more of that.
Having watched Y&R in England from 1988-95 before it was removed completely from our screens, I do wish there was a channel that would show old complete episodes. The years that I watched were nothing short of great TV, acting and story lines every day. Loved The Abbott family, especially John and Jack's relationship with Victor Newman.
Thank you all for 45 wonderful years!!!
This show gives me life, love everything about it.
Thank You All for the many wonderful Years!!.. God bless you!!.💖
I love love that show. Watch it everyday for years.
I can’t believe it’s been that long and I’m still watching so many changes I don’t like , so nice too see the real family altogether they have my heart ♥️
This is my altime favourite show when I was 12 to growing older to this day... forever young and the restless! 😊💖 to all my #1 stars! You guys rock!!
Have been watching the show since 1970 and still love it! Touching on Alzheimers means a lot as we are in the middle of this due to my Mom having it. It literally rips your heart apart..... So happy that a show has the guts to bring it to the forefront as unless you are living it you truly don't understand...... Thanks Y & R!!! The actors and actresses on this show are awesome!!!
I wish they would release the classic years of The Young And The Restless from the 70s and 80s and 90s on dvd.
I wish you could view them as well.
and the 2000's on dvd and blu ray.
I have a friend who did a few episodes of the show. I'd LOVE to be able to see THOSE episodes for sure!
@peety675 - me too

Such a group of very talented actors! Have been watching this show for 25 plus years! Great show. Hoping soon new shows will be shot!
I love the storyline on Young & Restless Show. Happy 45th Anniversary. It is a great joy to watch Y&R in our home.
I love the Abbotts and I really miss John Abbott.
I miss the Abbott breakfasts. They were a highlight of the show. I also miss Terry Lester (original Jack) and Brenda Dickson (original Jill). Both were seasoned actors who brought so much to the show.
GregJoseph1978 me too..by the way you're cute
So do I. I grew up watching them with my grandmother and my mom. Being 43 years old now brings back so many memories of the show and remembering the conversations that my grandmother and mom was having during the show. It has definitely been a lot of changes.
@@mainecoon6514 miss Terry but definitely not Brenda. She was a HORRIBLE ACTRESS
I love all you guys! Been watching since I was in school, I am now 70.
I wish the ghost of "John Abbott" would make more appearances, especially now, to get Jack and Ashley back together again in the business!!! Loved that character!!!
So love this soap. I have been watching it since I was a teenager.
I loved John Abbott. I wish he was still on there.
Omgggg Jerry we miss you on y&r
The Alzheimer’s storyline breaks my heart; my grandmother died from this terrible disease at the end of 2014 and it is something I wouldn’t wish on.
Hey I watched this show since it began but not every show. I can remember watching a soap that was one before Y&R was on it was Love of Live . I loved that I could watch it on a sick day and in the summer . Oh and I can remember the first Jackie Boy LOL Thank you Jerry ( Daddy Abbott ) Douglas 👏👏👏👏
Beautiful interview, luv this family...Grew up with them...
Y&R premiered in May 1973 , I was marred in July of 73 been watching it ever since.
I watched it when I was a senior in college(1973) and have watched since it began!!!!
Love the Abbott Family, much love from Toronto Canada and Guyana ❤🇨🇦🇬🇾
I love everything about the young and the restless especially Dina it is on point we are going thru this. Thank you so much for the story line for people to try to understand
I love love love this show! I hope it lives forever ❤❤❤❤
Peter Bergman played huge roles on two iconic soaps.
Marti Waterman ❤ Cliff and Nina
Love P B
I miss Jerry Douglas coming back as John. I love those scenes. Watching the Xmas clip with Jack and Dina made me all weepy. I hope she wins the Emmy. She is playing the hell out of this role
Thanks for posting this. Of all soap opera families, my favorite has always been the Abbotts. The family has been the "heart and soul" of Y&R for 35 years. To be candid, Y&R has really suffered in the past decade from a revolving door of producers and writers who frequently didn't seem to have a clue of write for the show. I firmly believe the Abbotts (particularly Peter Bergman as Jack and Eileen Davidson as Ashley) are a key reason that the ratings for Y&R have not eroded as the quality of what we've seen in the past decade has noticeably declined. Whether they are arguing or are fondly remembering their father, ANY scene between Jack and Ashley is always stellar. I could watch an entire episode of the Abbott clan simply reading a phone book!! I miss John Abbott and wish the writers would bring "ghost" John back to talk to his kids (heck, let him talk to his widow Gloria as well!).
My favorite soap... still going strong.
I've watched since November 1973. Love this Soap!!! My favorite of all the ones that have ever been on!!!!
Such a lovely interview! I have loved this show for all 45 years and still watch it every day (and hate it when it gets pre-empted by sports or breaking news...I know...bad, right?)!
I have watched since day one and have rarely missed an episode. These characters really become like members of your extended family.
I have watch this show since the beginning. Funny you're not the only one they get upset when Breaking news or Sports come into play. Congratulations on 45 years.
I LOVE Y&R - I HAVE WATCHED THIS SHOW SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL - ( I am 50 yrs old now) . Y&R IS MY FAMILY .
Best show ever made I grew up watching this with my grandfather and I'm still watching it today im going on 50.
I have been watching Y&R for over 25 years and I still love it till this day. It has always been my favorite Soap Opera and the Best Soap on tv. I hope that. Y&R will be on for another 25 years. After all this time it feels like I'm part of the Y&R Family. Happy 45th Anniversary Y&R

The Young and the Restless Is The Best number 1 Daytime Show In The America
I have been watching since 1973
Kimberly Henderson Wow!! Then I'll bet you remember when the series first started with the Brooks family? Stuart Brooks and his four daughters?
And the Foster family? They were the proletariats and the Brooks' were the wealthy ones.
I remember in 1980 there was the phasing out of the Brooks family and Fosters except for Jill.
Then in that same it was the Abbotts and Victor Newman. Yuck!!!
Never really liked since then.
Kimberly Henderson 1972 for me..or at least I believe. Since day one. I was babysitting a little boy that summer and would try and put him down for a nap to watch it. I was 14
yeah, I remember everyone. Especially Snapper Foster (I think that was a nickname) Then it was Leslie Lori, Lance and Luke
Kimberly Henderson 🙋🏽♀️ I was born March 3, 1973 😂💯 so I started my journey with Y&R 5 years later and elementary school too 👍🏽🤩45 💖
Kimberly Henderson the shows gone to shit was way better back in the 70s and 80s
I miss John Abbott on YR 😭
Thanks For Sharing. 😀😁❤️💓💥💥

Living Righteousness God’s Way in Christ leave it to a 'god fearing Christian' to turn things nasty
Denise Herud Huh??
How wonderful it is to see them all together. I've been watching the Y/R since 1975. I like all the drama. P.S. Hillary is alive! She's alive! I saw her on the PRICE IS RIGHT! 🌹
I love Young and Restless!❤❤
Hi, this so Amazing to see, i watch every day & i accidentally came across this tks
Love this show,but bold and the beautiful is my favorite.
My all time favourite show shame Australia does not air, any more on local tv.
I love the Abbotts!..I miss Colleen, Lyndsy Fonseca was the best. I loved her relationship with the Abbotts and JT
Had to come back here upon hearing Jerry Douglas passed today.
Such a great show
Love this show!
Great. Lived the young & restless.
I’ve been watching since almost the beginning. I can think far enough back to remember when Victor had the guy locked up in his basement
You are all great actors and actress, from Bermuda.
Jerry Douglas should never been written off
I agree 😢
He was ready to retire, so it was done with his blessing.
I absolutely love Y &R I can’t ever miss a day!! I didn’t get to see John go off the show but I think I would have cried my eyes out!! But what I miss most of all now is Eileen going off the show! I know her personal life have had some major loss and I feel bad for her I know it’s hard and I hope and pray one day she will come back to the show and her and Jack take over and kick butte!! Also now I’d love to see Dina come back on every now and then she such a beautiful lady! Jack you ROCK!! Good luck with Kerri I hope you find love again, you and Nilly deserve it!! And last of all Traci I love you dearly, always trying to keep your family together! I’ve grown up watching you and admire you to death!! Your s beautiful person!!
What a terrific show!
Mammie should have been there!
Yes, poor Mamie really gets the short end of the stick when the family is discussed. Why she has never come back to visit in the past 15 years (even when, in everyday life, she would --- John's funeral; niece Drucilla's funeral; great niece Lily battling cancer) is beyond me. The woman viewed the Abbott offspring as her "children."
@@eugenesmith5173 why did they recast Mamie? I liked her the best.
@@maddyhayes617 Good question. I don't know. One actress played Mamie for 7-8 years. The show recast the part with Veronica Redd as Mamie and, shortly thereafter, Mamie's relatives (Drucilla and Olivia) showed up. Both actresses were good. I just don't understand why the character has been never appeared again and we only get a passing reference to her from time to time.
@@eugenesmith5173 I wonder if the original Mamie is still alive.
I watch Y&R off and on and I'm hoping John comes back as a ghost when Dina has to go! That would be a goodbye send off to Dina.
This is what I wish it would go back to this type of of writing
Killing off John was the show's biggest mistake
nono He wanted to retire.
Serene Sunshine ASMR oh ok I didn't know that.
I started watching it I believe 1974. My grandma was hooked as the turns and guiding light.
Yes, I never could figure out why they wrote him out.
they didn't kill him off he died off killing means you got killed he died. plus he was ready to retire so it was his idea to do so
Nice to see john
Yes I love you guys
We love it so much ❤❤
I love the Abbott family. I hated that John called Ashley “My Beauty”. I will never forget the scene when Tracey was telling Jack how she felt about it. It broke my heart.
The Abbotts😘😍😊❤💋👼👼👼
I been watching every sense the beganning
Used to watch this when i graduated from high school in the 80's.
I wish they would put them on CDs, maybe in five year segments, at a reasonable price that we could purchase. CBS could donate money to charity-what else are they going to do with them?
Ruby Daugherty amen!!! I want as the world turns too! Missed a lot of school to see Jon Hensley shirtless😂
I'm one of those people that fell into watching Y&R thanks to my grandmother. It saddens me to admit that I gave up on it years ago. I did so out of pure frustration with how characters and certain core dynamics were changed. During the 80's and into the 90's no other daytime show could top Y&R ratings. That was all because of Bill Bell, the creator and masterful head writer of the show. But after he passed away all that he masterfully built slowly began to be chipped away with each and every new head writer and executive producer that always came and left. Along the way each and everyone of them would come up with storylines and character changes that went against Bill Bell's bible foundation. Things that he would never do. Killing off John Abbott is a prime example. I mean think about it, if killing off that character was such a great idea than why for years after that they brought John back as a spirit to help advise his adult children. Turning Sharon into a woman that would sleep with multiple men of the same family (Newmans AND Abbotts!!) plus pairing her up with countless other side characters is something he definitely wouldn't have done. Another bad storyline was having us think that Jill was Mrs. Chancellor's lost child only to change it again by making Tucker her actual lost child. Then years later when they came up with making Jill and Lauren half sisters after all those years! WHY??!! That was the final straw for me. I had enough and I decided that I was done with complaining about the show. I knew it was time for me to simply let it go and that's what I did. Now I hear that supposedly a new storyline has developed about Jack not being an actual Abbott and also Victor's half brother. If that's true all I have to say about that is WTF!!! It's horrible to me that the show has turned into what it is now compared to how great it once was. I don't care what anyone who says or thinks that Y&R is still great because the truth is it's not! It really isn't. Not for me and many others who feel exactly the way I do. Y&R will never be the same without Bill Bell's touch.
Thank-you for writing this. You are so accurate, in what your wrote. I believe the same.
You have to get over to Bells been dead for years but they do have awful writers true
Love you guys
