JACK ABBOTT'S HISTORY
In 1980, Jack Abbott was one of Genoa City's most eligible bachelors. A playboy of sorts, Jack's numerous affairs and partying made his father doubt his dedication to the family business. In an attempt to prove he'd grown up, Jack married the meek, almost innocent, Patty Williams. However, Jack soon went back to his old ways when a pregnant Patty walked in on him having an affair with Diane Jenkins! Although Patty shot Jack three times, he recovered, Patty lost the baby and the two divorced.
After a few more flings, Jack went on to marry his rival Victor Newman's ex-wife Nikki. Even though Jack and Nikki had a child, who died from premature birth, Nikki could never get over Victor and she and Jack divorced. Throughout the years, Jack and Victor were at each other's throats. Victor took over Jabot, Jack took over Newman, and even left Victor to die on his office floor! However, Jack ended up getting Victor help, which in turn saved his life.
In 2000, Jack's lost love from his time served in Vietnam showed up in Genoa City! The two immediately reconnected and fell in love, then Luan informed Jack that they had a son! With the help of Paul and Christine Williams, Keemo was located and brought back to GC. However, Jack's true happiness came to an end when Luan died from a terminal disease and his son returned to his home in Vietnam.
Shortly after, Jack again found his heart broken after falling for and proposing to Diane Jenkins. But Victor came in and swooped Diane out from under Jack, leaving Jack enraged with revenge. Although Jack had plotted and succeed with another Newman takeover, he found himself returning the company to Victor and actually owing him money in order to get Jabot back in the Abbott control!
Jack fell in love with Phyllis Summers during a time when she was working and spying on him for Victor Newman. After Jack found out, he broke things off with Phyllis and she left Genoa City to move back to New York. Three years later, Phyllis returned and Jack hired her to build the Glow by Jabot website. However, when Jack didn't make an effort to keep her on, Phyllis went to work for Newman!
Phyllis and Jack's relationship survived, and even though she had an ectopic pregnancy and was told she couldn't have any more children, Jack married her in 2001. Jack later found out that he was the father of Diane Jenkins' son. With Jack and Phyllis working for opposing companies, the stress on their marriage became immense and they ended up in extramarital affairs. They filed for divorce and broke their ties.
At a time when Jabot was on the verge of bankruptcy, Victor Newman dirty handedly destroyed Jack's attempt to bring Jabot back to the top! Jack got his revenge when Victor's own son, Jack's once stepson, Nick, turned his own father in to the Feds! However, just when Jack's family was about to accept Victor's restitution offer of seventy-five million, with a clause that Jack never work at Jabot again, Jack resigned from the family company and went to become CEO of Chancellor Enterprises.
Jack's next battle came when his father met and fell in love with Gloria Fisher. After Gloria's ex-husband Tom Fisher came to town, fearing for his family's life, John Abbott shot and killed Tom, and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Jack's biggest devastation came with the death of his father shortly before he was to be pardoned and released from prison. Blaming Gloria as the reason for his father going to prison in the first place, Jack tried to strip her of the Abbott name after finding out that she and his father were never legally married. In the end, although Gloria had been shut out of John's will, due to Jack's manipulation, a judge allowed her to keep the Abbott name.
Although Jack and Phyllis got back together before John's death, they continued to have work related problems and with Nick Newman's marriage on the rocks, Phyllis and Nick began a passionate affair! When Phyllis became pregnant, Jack saw a glimmer of hope that the baby could be his. However, Jack was informed that a paternity test was administered and Nick was the father.
Determined to carry on his father's legacy, Jack regained control of Jabot through his other company the House of Kim! He ended up a suspect in Carmen Mesta's murder, but was never charged. Jack has married Sharon Collins Newman, and they partnered for a brief time with Nick Newman and Phyllis Newman to start up a magazine called Restless Style. The foursome didn't work well together and Nick bought out Jack's interest.
Jack plotted with Adam against Victor, which landed Adam in jail. Jack ended up back at Jabot as a part of a revenge scheme devised by Victor, but was fired again by Jill. With Katherine being proven to be alive, Jack has now been reinstated. Jack is newly divorced from Sharon.

Phyllis realizes why Nick opted out - she informs Jack that she told Nick they slept together! Jack questions her sudden attack of conscience. Phyllis explains about Patty seeing them, and thinking she is Diane - she has the past and present tangled up! Jack realizes that Patty poisoned Summer to get revenge on Diane, who was actually Phyllis. Jack muses that Nick must hate his guts! Phyllis points out that Nick was with Sharon at the time. Just then, Nick comes through the door. Phyllis tells him that she told Jack what happened with Patty. Jack begins an involved apology, but Nick cuts him off saying there is nothing to gain by looking at the past. Jack brings up the business deal, but Nick assures him he won't be going into business with him! Jack tells him not to let emotion cloud his judgment - Nick says that's what he did when he agreed to it in the first place! Phyllis wonders if Nick is Jack's last resort. Nick says he'll always be grateful for Jack being there when he was little, but that's over. After he leaves, Nick tells Phyllis about his meeting with Kay. He notes he also saw Adam, who is out in the open, but being very careful - which probably means he's hiding something! Phyllis tells Nick she's defrosting a turkey to have Thanksgiving there. Nick raises his eyebrows at the idea of her cooking, but says it will be great.
Jack drops in on Ashley at the Ranch. He looks at Faith sleeping, and Ash asks if he is there about the Chancellor stock again. He says he's glad she is investing, but he won't be buying any stock.

At the Ranch, Adam fusses over what to wear and asks Ashley's advice. She realizes he wants to impress someone. Just then, Sharon calls him - she says she made reservations for them, but Adam thought they were going to meet at her house. Sharon says it's time for him to come out of hiding. Jack arrives and trades a barb with Adam, before asking Ashley again about the Chancellor stock. Ashley says she will be investing in it - she just won't be doing it with him! They argue as she tries to explain her reasons, and Jack pushes about Jabot being their legacy. Ashley says he's done too many things she disapproves of - he needs to accept this! Jack leaves, and Adam asks Ashley about the project she mentioned to him. She says she still can't tell him any details. She wonders who he's seeing tonight. He keeps mum.
Jack meets Emily at the Club and gives her a huge bouquet of flowers. He takes her to a surprise location - the Abbott Mansion. He introduces himself as her waiter for the evening. Emily remarks how nice this is - no one staring at her because of Patty. Jack says he'll be the only one staring at her tonight. They sit down with a drink, and she expresses dismay that she was so hard on him in the beginning. Jack says at least they can avoid the conversation where they expose their baggage. Emily wonders why he stays in his childhood home - it's easy to slip into old patterns there. Jack says it's his father's home, it's too difficult to leave. He tells her he's disillusioned with his siblings. Emily says if he lets go of an old dream, he can make room for a new one.
Jack takes Emily back to the Club after their dinner and says goodnight. When they kiss, Paul, who is in the dining room, notices and doesn't look happy about it. As Jack watches Emily walk up the stairs, he sees a message from Nick on his phone.
