The Young and the Restless’ Victor and Jack have one of the longest and most legendary feuds in daytime TV history. The two men have been bitter enemies for decades, having done everything from stealing each other’s companies to marrying each other’s exes. But now, the unthinkable is about to happen: they’re going to join forces against a common foe.
It’s shocking news for viewers who have followed the rivalry between these two characters for so long. Are Jack and Victor actually going to become friends? Not likely, according to Peter Bergman, who plays Jack Abbott. “Jack’s ability to see Victor as something other than a nemesis will always be an issue,” he says. “They will always be rivals who see the other person’s problems through the wrong glasses.”
Bergman loves the rivalry between the two characters and wouldn’t have it any other way. He says that even though they may occasionally put aside their differences, their enmity should always be there, never far beneath the surface. “Because some wounds can never fully heal,” he adds.
This is classic Young & Restless storytelling, Bergman says. Rivalries are part of the fabric of the show, from Katherine and Jill to Ashley and Nikki. But sometimes, new enemies can make strange bedfellows of old rivals. In this case, the disappearance of Phyllis at the gala is bringing these two characters together.
It’s not going to be an easy partnership, though. Jack can occasionally get close to trusting a conversation with Victor or a single situation, but then he’s basically tapped out, Bergman says. They will always be rivals who have a deep-seated distrust of each other.
But despite the challenges, it’s exciting to see these two characters team up against a common enemy. Fans of the show will be tuning in to see how this partnership plays out and whether they can finally put their differences aside once and for all.
The Young & Restless has always been known for its intense and dramatic storylines, and this is just another example of that. As Bergman says, viewers tune in for these embattled relationships every bit as much as they do for the real conflicts within extended families.
It’s unclear what the future holds for these two characters, but one thing is for sure: the rivalry between Jack and Victor will always be a part of The Young & Restless’ rich history
