‘Young and the Restless’ (Y&R) spoilers tease that actor Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott) certainly has something very big to celebrate this week! That’s because the actor will be honored with a stand-alone episode as part of his 30th anniversary celebrations with the hit CBS soap. The producers have compiled all of Jack’s highs and lows for a very special episode that will give fans a wonderful trip down memory lane. Here’s what you need to know.
When Peter Bergman asked by Soap Opera Digest how he found out that he would be getting a stand-alone episode, the legendary actor told the publication, “I’ve never done a stand-alone episode before. Frankly, I probably wasn’t in favor of this. Nobody asked me and I didn’t offer my opinion. I thought, “Oh, I don’t want to bore people,’ and stuff like that. And I was really wrong. It was really a joy to do. It was a powerful experience for me. It was a reminder of just how lucky I am, a reminder of the friends I’ve made on the show, a reminder, of the powerful memories that are with me forever from this show. It was a pretty neat experience.”

Peter added that when it came to the actual episode itself, he didn’t have any input into it. Instead, it was all put together by one of ‘Young and the Restless’ producers and the writing staff. Peter says that it was pretty cool to see a variety of things from Jack’s past.”
He added, “Unfortunately, the technical aspect of it kind of demanded that I go in and out of it. The directors say, ‘This next scene is this, and I need you to turn into that direction because this memory happened here in the Abbott living room, and I’d love for you to look in the direction where your father is standing.’ So it was technical stuff that took me in and out so I wasn’t Jack all day. I had to be Peter the actor a few times, but certainly the recall of so many of these memories was very powerful.”
