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.

Monday, November 09 2009: Lucky To Be Locked Up!
Nick and Phyllis are chatting in Nick's office about the settlement in the case of the Caymans bank issue. Jack comes in and says he's there to praise Nick's efforts in that direction. He admits he hates Victor, but not Nick. He pulls out a bottle of bubbly and says he'd like to toast to Newman always being Nick's domain! Phyllis steps outside the door to call Lauren, and opens a letter. The contents seem to set her off - she quickly leaves without a word. Jack and Nick continue to spar as they drink. Nick asks if Jack is really here as a proud stepfather, or on recon? They compare notes on brothers who twist the knife - Nick has Adam, and Jack has Billy. Nick muses that Jack helped Billy write that article.
Still in Nick's office, Jack asks if Nick knows anything about Katherine's activities. Just then, Billy appears with a folder and drops it on Nick's desk! Jack informs Nick that he's not on Billy's side. Billy tells Nick that there was no stipulation as to the content of the magazine - there's no basis for kicking him out of the building. Nick heads off to legal, and Billy questions Jack's disloyalty in front of Newman. Jack tells him he's his ex-brother! Jack lays into Billy about how all he's ever wanted was to have all the Abbotts running their dad's business and he ruined that dream! Nick comes back in and tells Billy that legal has decided to honor the injunction - but if they find a loophole, he's back on the street!
Jack finds Emily at the Club. She tells him about Phyllis's visit to Patty. He's puzzled as to why Phyllis would go now. Emily explains about the letter. Jack tells Emily exactly what happened to Summer, and describes Phyllis's side of it - how she couldn't even be there for Summer in the hospital because Patty had seen to it that she was accused of harming her own daughter! He muses that he's just glad that Patty can't do anything like that again.
Friday, November 06 2009: The Man You Called Has Been Stabbed!
At work, Jill prepares to leave for the hospital. Kay sends her best wishes, and tells Jill to reassure Neil where work's concerned. As Jill leaves, Jack strolls in. He informs Katherine that he knows what they're up to - and he wants in on it! Jack says if she's needing cash, he'd be happy to take Jabot off her hands at a very reasonable price. Kay scoffs, saying it's not for sale. Jack then asks pointblank if she's taking Chancellor public. Katherine muses that maybe she should put Jill in charge of everything - then he can chase rumors full-time! Murphy appears, and Jack is forced to excuse himself. Murphy tells Kay to get her things!
Ashley arrives to meet Jack at the Club and asks what's so urgent. He blurts that Katherine is taking Chancellor public - this is their best shot at taking back control. Ashley cuts him off and says if he's planning a takeover, she's not interested. They bicker about her priorities and Jill. Jack says this happened because he was too busy dealing with Patty - it all comes back to Victor - is she going to let him get away with this? Ash sighs, and says it bores her to be caught between him and Victor. She adds that she can't trust him or Billy anymore either.
Emily goes to the Club, where Jack excuses himself from his conversation with Ashley to greet her and ask how her first day went. She agrees to join him, as Ash slips away and makes a call - telling the person on the other end of the line that she wants to buy up as much Chancellor stock as possible! Emily and Jack talk, and when they bump too close to one another, he steals a kiss, then says, "Goodnight."
