CBS ‘The Young and the Restless’ (Y&R) spoilers indicate that star Peter Bergman opens up about his character, Jack Abbott, and a deal with the devil he made during a very classic episode of the hit CBS soap. Here’s what he has to say.
In a new interview with TV Insider, the handsome actor opened up about the one classic storyline that people can’t stop talking about.

CBS ‘The Young and the Restless’ Spoilers: Peter Berman Opens Up About Jack’s Deal With The Devil
The actor told the site, “I’m asked regularly what are my favorite storylines are and this one always ranks among them. Jack had made a deal with the devil – agreeing to trade Nikki for Jabot. In the process, he falls completely in love with Nikki. Her alcoholism makes it clear that Jack’s not the right person to be with her. He’s an enabler. She’s not getting better. The growing frustration is pretty profound to the point where [there’s been] another sloppy night, pouring her into bed and things getting ugly. This is a place that Jack never expected in his life to be.”
The actor added, “So, Jack goes to his father [John, played by Jerry Douglas] and talks to him about it. I remember those scenes just falling out of my mouth. It was so natural. Jack, who leaps head strong into everything in life was asking what’s wrong with himself? That was a unique experience.”
Meanwhile, new reports have indicated that ‘Young and the Restless’ will be filming new episodes again as early as July 6th. The soap, along with the other four major daytime television shows, all suspended filming back in mid-March because of the coronavirus pandemic.
