  Character background

  1980s

Jack Abbott is born June 29, 1951[note 1] is the son of Jabot Cosmetics founder John Abbott and Dina Mergeron. He is a Vietnam War veteran and after the war, went to work at Jabot. By the early 1980s, he begins working alongside Jill Foster who is dating his father. However, after John wants to end the relationship, she falls into Jack's arms. But soon, John soon discovered Jill and Jack. Jill tries explain, but John is not pleased. She tries to return to Jack, who wants to end the relationship as well. Jill ends up filing a sexual harassment suit against Jack in which he ends up paying her $10,000. By 1982, Jill and John reunite and get married against Jack's wishes and Jill's enemy's Katherine Chancellor.

Shortly thereafter, Jack marries Patty Williams in an effort to convince his father to make him president of Jabot. However, Jack continues to fool around. This time with Jabot Model Diane Jenkins. Diane uses her power to move her up to top model at Jabot and continuously threatens to tell Patty about their affair if she doesn't get what she wants. Diane also found competition with Victor Newman's ex-wife Julia Newman. Julia wants to become Jabot's top model as well, and when Jack chooses Julia over Diane, Diane arranges to have Patty walk in on her and Jack making love. This causes her to miscarry their baby, but she intends on trying again. When she later overhears him confiding in his stepmother, Jill Abbott, that he does not want to be a father and only married Patty to get his father to promote him to president, Patty shoots him and loses the memory of the incident. When she regains her memory of it, he decides not to press charges, acknowledging that he brought it on himself.

After Diane married Andy Richards, Jack returns to have an affair with his stepmother Jill Abbott. This time however, his ex-girlfriend, Lindsey Wells, takes pictures of the encounter and blackmails him into marrying her by 1985. After he gets the pictures from her, he reveals that the marriage is invalid. Lindsay in turn sells the pictures she has left to Jill's enemy Katherine Chancellor, who then makes one of them into a puzzle and sends it piece by piece to John. He throws Jack out of the Abbott Mansion and finally divorces Jill. Jill eventually is found shot in the shower and Jack is one of the main suspects, alongside his father and Katherine. As it turns out, it was a masseaur named Sven from the Genoa City Hotel who shot Jill. Regardless, Jack originally confessed to the crime in order to prevent his affair with Jill coming public. However, the truth later comes out and Jack is cleared of all charges and is able to reconnect with his father.

By the late 1980s, Jack and Victor Newman hire Leanna Love to write a biography on Victor. Jack intends to have his version of the book be a tell-all entitled Ruthless: The Victor Newman Story. Unknowingly to Jack, Leanna adds a chapter that exploits the affair between Victor and Jack's sister Ashley Abbott. By this time, Victor and Nikki Newman's marriage was falling apart, and he believed she was behind the publication. Victor divorces her and to prove to the press he didn't divorce Nikki to be with Ashley, he marries Leanna, but it was declared invalid since his divorce from Nikki wasn't final. Victor, however, stays with Leanna until the truth comes out. Victor returns to Nikki, but he also proceeds to avenge his degradation by gaining reigns over Jabot Cosmetics, which Jack had recently convinced his father to make a public company. With Victor now in control, he fired Jack and replaced him with Brad Carlton. In response, Jack spitefully marries Nikki after Victor and Nikki had another falling out.

  1990s

Early in Jack and Nikki's marriage there were problems. Nikki quickly developed serious painkiller and alcohol problems. In addition, Nikki gave birth to a stillborn, John Abbott III, following an argument with Victor. Both Jack and Nikki blamed Victor for the death. However, Victor offers Jack a chance to regain control of Jabot. If he leaves Nikki, then he can get Jabot back. Jack follows through, but doesn't regain complete control because of a minor legal loophole. As for Nikki, Victor finally is able to deal with her alcohol problems head on and they were able to reconnect. By 1994 Jack and Nikki Abbott were divorced, yet they continue to be very close friends.

In 1995, Jack reunites with and marries Luan Volien, a woman he had a romantic relationship with during the Vietnam war. They have a son together who was conceived during the war named Keemo Volien. Luan dies from a fatal illness and Keemo leaves shortly after her death. While grieving his loss, Jack becomes involved with Mari Jo Mason, but disowns her upon discovering that she is the one who shot Victor.

Several years after the last attempt, Jack plotted again with Brad Carlton to take over Newman Enterprises while Victor was being held captive in New Mexico. This time he succeeded in his takeover, by changing numbers in a spreadsheet and seeding the Board of Directors to get the votes needed. When Victor returned, Jack made him a deal to return Jabot to the Abbotts in exchange for Newman. Unfortunately for Jack, Victor saw what he really wanted, and upped the ante-Jabot must be purchased to close the deal, and Brash & Sassy would stay with Newman. The Abbots scraped up the cash for the deal, but fell short at deadline time. Jack had to knuckle under to Victor, and accept a loan for the remainder. Victor bought up all the Abbott loans and was about to turn the tables and control Jabot once again. But Victor's renewed involvement with Jack's sister Ashley Abbott made him back down on calling in all the loans-for the moment. Meanwhile Jabot was pitting Glo by Jabot against Brash & Sassy, and Victor still plotted revenge against Jack and Brad.

Around 1997, Diane Jenkins returned to Genoa City, and she and Jack begin another romance. The quickly become engaged, but Ashley Abbott tries to push Diane away. However, Victor hires Diane to design a new building and he suddenly seems to be romancing her. Diane ends up breaking off the engagement with Jack and ends up marrying Victor. Her new marriage with Victor ultimately faces its demise when Nikki Landers is shot by her husband's ex-wife. Victor convinces Diane to allow a divorce that way he could marry Nikki on her deathbed, and once she dies, he and Diane would be remarried. However, Nikki lives and Victor stays with her, leading Diane to return to Jack. However, when she learns that Jack is only using her in his war against Victor, she leaves him again.

  2000s

Despite Diane's divorce from Victor, she remained affectionate towards Victor, and she stole Victor's sperm intending to impregnate herself with his child. After a round of thefts by Nikki and Ashley before regaining it, in a twist of fate, Diane ends up pregnant with Jack son through his own sperm bank donation. However, Diane didn't know yet, only Nikki.

In 2001, Jack romances Newman Enterprises employee Phyllis Romalotti. They marry, but Diane's return after Nikki's confrontation with her regarding Kyle being Jack's son, threw his marriage with Phyllis in turmoil. Jack and Phyllis fight Diane for custody, with Diane ultimately winning. However, Diane tries to use Kyle to get Jack back and moves into thAbbott's pool house. Both Diane and Phyllis engage in games against each other, but none was as bad as the fire.

On the evening of a wedding, the Abbott pool house burned down and the police called it arson. Diane said she was asleep by sleeping pills and barely managed to escape. Phyllis said she left Jack and Kyle at the wedding because of a call that she was needed at Newman. She was later seen stopping at the Abbott mansion by Diane's friend Isabella about the time of the fire. Phyllis said she had to change her gown after she sat on an ink pen. Evidence was gathered against Phyllis, and she was indicted for arson and attempted murder. But Phyllis finally convinced Jack that Diane set her up so that she could have him, and they entrapped Diane-to such lengths that Jack took Diane to bed. Phyllis was acquitted, then found the note that Diane had written to pay a bum to call Phyllis away from the wedding. Diane ends up losing custody, but Jack later hands Kyle over.

Several months later, the Cosmetic Wars began, and tensions were high as nearly everyone's mate was the enemy. Victor was Newman and his wife Nikki worked for Jabot. Jack was Jabot and his wife Phyllis worked for Newman. Neil Winters worked for Newman and then-fiancée Drucilla Barber worked for Jabot. Also affected were Victoria Newman and Nicholas Newman, whose parents were on opposite sides. The result of this high level war ended up leading to a serve financial crisis at Jabot, Nick turning in his father to the Feds for his tricky tricks, and most importantly the end of Jack's marriage to Phyllis when she decides to defend Victor and Newman against the Abbotts. In addition to changes a Jabot, Jack was forced out of the company as a result of a lawsuit. Jack was once again the unemployed playboy and even began romancing Jill Foster Abbott again.

Jack's father quickly begins romancing the younger Gloria Fisher and after a cruise, they got married. When Jack and Ashley hears about this, they accused Gloria of being a gold digger. Jack ends up accepting Gloria, but Ashley won't give in. Ashley ends up bringing in Victor to help Jabot, but John was extremely angered to hear this and removed Ashley from CEO of Jabot. Jack ends up becoming the CEO of Chancellor Industries. And John ends up going away to prison for murdering Gloria's ex husband Tom Fisher. With John in prison and not at the mansion to protect her, Gloria grew tired of the way Jack and Ashley treated her and vowed to get even. She managed to get hold of the new product Ashley was developing in the lab and compromised it with cleaning solution to make trouble for them. Gloria even asked for a sample, then used it on herself, getting major facial burns to show everyone that Ashley's cream was a hazard. Unfortunately samples had already been distributed to select people, and a woman ended up dying after using the cream. The cause of death was a bit suspicious, but the husband was paid off by Jabot to avoid a lawsuit. Jabot's reputation was further ruined, and Katherine fired Jack as a result. Gloria then invited Kevin to live at the Abbott estate, ingratiated herself to Kay and Jill, and landed a job at Jabot as Fashion Consultant, then managed to get Kevin hired on as Director of Internet Affairs to replace Phyllis.

While in prison, John started getting into fights with inmates and having spells where he believed his first wife Dina had just left him. Jack, Ashley, and Gloria were made aware, and Jack got permission for John's doctor to look at him, and it was discovered that John was being over-medicated. Before that was corrected, Jack took this opportunity to get John to hand-write a new will cutting out "his evil wife," whom John thought was Dina. Six months after his incarceration, John was about to be released early due to ill heath when he had a stroke and was rushed to GC Memorial in grave condition. The doctors made the family aware that John would never come out of his vegetative state and had signed a DNR. After much bickering between Gloria and Jack, Gloria decided to use her authority in the DNR to allow John to die. Billy Abbott and Traci Abbott Connolly returned to say farewell to their father, as did old friend Kay, and ex-wife Jill. Jack and Ashley, who wanted a small family-only memorial service for John, overruled Gloria, who wanted a huge lavish funeral. As the feud between them heightened, Jack made sure that Gloria had the wrong time so that she missed the memorial service where each of John's children, Kay, and Jill, gave a heartfelt eulogy. Gloria, Michael Baldwin, Lauren Fenmore Baldwin and Kevin Fisher arrived to find it over, so held their own service for John, including Gloria's eulogy.

The Fishers were jubilant and the Abbotts were appalled to discover John's will left Gloria 50% of his billion dollar estate, and the rest, including the Abbott mansion to be divided among his children. But when everyone arrived in probate court, the prison chaplain turned over the hand-written will he had been given for safe-keeping by John, which divided the estate among only his children. It was also exposed that John's attorney had never gotten around to making the marriage between John and Gloria legal. Afterward, Gloria arrived at the Abbott Mansion to find her belongings in trash bags on the front porch and the locks changed, with Jack gloating behind the glass door. The next day, as John looked on in the guise of Jack's guilty conscience, the judge decided in the end that the hand-written will would stand, so Gloria was cut out. Assuming that Jack was somehow behind it, Gloria was livid. She and Kevin moved in with Michael and Lauren. Jill and Kay promoted Gloria to Vice President of Creative Affairs for Jabot, further infuriating the Abbotts. Gloria was asked to appear as a judge on the reality show Extreme Catwalk, and Jack found ways to keep her off the show and further sullying the Abbott reputation.

Jack was legally unable to own Jabot, so he made an offer through a company called House of Kim, which Katherine accepted. To make matters worse, Jack financed it using a loan from Victor Newman.

Jack begins dating Nick's ex-wife Sharon, and in March 2007 he asks her to marry him. Sharon accepts the proposal and they marry on April 23. Sharon was ecstatic with the way Jack had treated her son Noah Newman. But Brad Carlton, who Sharon had an affair with while she was still married to Nick is not ready to accept this and unsuccessfully tries to break the pair up.

In 2006, after a series of traumatic events, including his being ousted from Jabot as a result of a lawsuit, the death of his father and his having learned of Phyllis and Nick's affair, Jack becomes extremely bitter and plots against a number of individuals who wronged him, including family friend Katherine, Jill - who fired him from Jabot - and his stepmother Gloria - whom he blamed for his father's murder conviction and imprisonment, as well as his longtime adversary Victor.

In the spring of 2007, Jack runs against Nikki in a race for a vacated seat in the Wisconsin State Senate. Phyllis and Sharon use a nanny cam to catch Nikki kissing David Chow on tape, release the footage on the Internet. Jack ultimately wins the election. He has a rocky career as a senator, and ultimately resigns in December 2007 because of various events that ultimately lead to a senatorial ethics hearing including Victor's public release of a private conversation between Jack and Ji Min Kim.

After Jack resigns from the Senate and Nick is fired from his job at Newman Enterprises, they start a new Internet & print magazine with Sharon and Phyllis. The project is named Restless Style. The venture results in fights among the foursome and exposes about various people in Genoa City.

Jack secretly works with Gloria to take over Jabot. Nick buys out Jack's share of Restless Style after receiving a line of credit from his father Victor. Jack works with Adam Newman to get revenge on Victor, but it fails. Adam goes to prison, but Jack protects himself from being exposed. His deal with Gloria goes through and the Abbotts regain control at Jabot.

Jack has an affair with Mary Jane Benson after Sharon divorces him. Sharon tells him she is pregnant with a baby that might be his, his brother Billy's, or Nick's. He asks her to move back into the mansion with him so they can raise the baby together no matter who the father is. Though furious with Billy for having sex with Sharon, Jack proposes and wants to start a family with her anyway. But on the same night he finds out that Nick left Phyllis to be with Sharon again. In a moment of giving each other comfort Phyllis and Jack sleep together. A one-night-stand that is witnessed by a furious Mary Jane. He later begins non-committed sexual relationship with Mary Jane. After seeing Nick and Phyllis "together", Sharon goes to Jack and tell him that he is Faith's father even if she knows the baby is Nick's. During an argument over Jack's helping her Sharon tells Jack that Nick is the father not him. Phyllis suspects that Nick is the father and confronts Jack who denies it for Phyllis' sake. Nick goes to visit Sharon at the psychiatric ward and overhears Sharon confess to her mom that the baby is Nick's and swears her to secrecy. It is later revealed that Mary Jane is the alias of Patty Williams, who wants revenge on Jack with the aid of Victor Newman. She eventually ends up in the psych ward but escapes with help from Adam Newman, who tells her to go to Canada to be a nun and never return to Genoa City.

  2010s

Thanks to Tucker McCall, Jack becomes co-CEO of Jabot, which makes Jack happy because he had been trying to regain that position for years. Meanwhile Jack sleeps with Skye Newman to ensure he keeps tabs on her and Adam Newman. However, Jack also plans to secretly fight against Victor again by using Abby Newman to file a lawsuit against Victor. In the lawsuit, Abby wants the total amount of money in her trust funds and accuses Victor of mishandling the money. The lawsuit quickly grows when Abby's sister and Jack's new sister-in-law Victoria Abbott comes on board. Eventually, even Nick Newman joins the lawsuit, and the children were awarded $500 million each. As a result of the decision, Victor was forced to make Newman Enterprises public.

Around the same time, Jack and Phyllis resume their 9-year-old relationship. But this relationship is once again threatened when Diane Jenkins and Jack's son Kyle move back to Genoa City. Despite this, Jack continues to juggle spending time with Kyle and Phyllis, although Diane wants to play house with Jack, like she always did. However, Diane ends up having an affairs with Tucker McCall, who was romancing Ashley and Nicholas Newman. Nick ends up wanting to end their relationship and Diane ends up moving in with Victor as an in-house architect. They have sex and Victor wanted to continue the relationship. However, when Jack discovered Diane and Kyle in the Newman Ranch, he warned Diane not to use Victor against him. Eventually, Diane and Victor remarry.

Alongside Jack's involvement in the Newman family lawsuit, Jack also entered a partnership with Victor to take down the Newman Fund headed by Adam Newman and his wife, Skye. However this partnership fails when Victor suddenly pulls out all of his money without telling Jack, leaving Jack to lose all of his money and other investors are dealt are similar situation. Jack is extremely angry by Victor's sly move, but afterwards, Skye Newman ended up disappearing and many were convinced that Adam killed her. Sharon tried to find Skye in Hawaii, and they two had a confrontation on a volcano, where Skye accidentally fell in. Sharon returned to Genoa City with murder charges. Sharon was eventually found guilty despite Phyllis and Jack's attempt to prove her innocence and Victor's involvement in trying to frame Adam for killing Skye. Sharon escaped prison thanks to Adam and Phyllis and Nick began searching for her. On the search, they began an affair, and when Jack learned this he end his romance with Phyllis.

As Jack begins to look for Newman Stock, he learned that Tucker McCall bought up Adam Newman's stock options recently. Tucker even wanted to buy Abby's stocks, but she in turn sold to Jack out of spite. Abby knew of Tucker's earlier affair with Diane Jenkins and wanted to keep him away from Ashley. As a result of dirty scheme that would implicate Diane and Tucker having an affair, a drunk Abby ran over Tucker who was in a coma. With Tucker in a coma, his mother Katherine Chancellor fired Ashley as CEO of Jabot, and awarded it to Jack. Jack also began romancing Genevieve Atkinson, who just so happened to have hired Patty Williams as her housekeeper under the alias of Myrna Murdock. Genevieve ended up owning an unknown company known as FMN, which outbid Jack in the recent sale of Beauty of Nature from Newman Enterprises. The night Jack and Genevieve were supposed to wed, she wrote Jack a Dear John letter noting how she wasn't loyal. Patty stole the letter, stole Genevieve's dress, and arrives at the wedding ceremony. As Jack uncovers her face, he assumes it is Emily, and Patty is enraged by this; she reveals that she is Patty before shooting Jack in the stomach. She ended up going to a maximum security prison.

The shooting became quite serious, and his heart actually stopped during surgery, and he found himself in a rowboat surrounded by mist and stars with his dead father John. Jack decided to row back home and survived the surgery, but was left paralyzed, just as he had been when Patty had shot him before in 1983. Through the entire surgery, Nikki Newman was there to support the Abbotts, and Nikki become very close with Jack throughout his recovery. Jack began his physical therapy, refusing to believe that he would never walk again. When he spotted a therapist everyone called "Sarge" who was ruthless with his patients, Jack publicly admonished him for being heartless. But when he saw the man get results, he hired him for himself.

After Genevieve hired Victoria Abbott as CEO of Beauty of Nature, she visited Jack to tell him she was sorry but still really love him. Jack bitterly asked why she had betrayed him. Genevieve said she wanted to never be just Mrs. Somebody again and wanted something she could control. Jack replied that he would have supported her, found her another company to run, but instead she had stolen the one company Jack wanted. Then she didn't trust his love enough to even tell him afterward. Genevieve begged for him to forgive her now. Jack retorted that he hoped Beauty of Nature would keep her warm at night and asked to leave. Later Jack hired Avery to file a lawsuit to get Beauty of Nature from Genevieve because she had prior knowledge of his bid which had assured her of the win. Yet, Genevieve offered to sell Beauty of Nature to Jack if he would forgive her and marry her, and Jack agreed. She then got offers from Victor, Victoria, and Tucker and relished the thought that she and Jack were going to outfox them all. Knowing that Jack was only marrying her to get Beauty of Nature, Nikki pleaded with him to not be like Victor and to be like his father John. Jack said he would if Nikki would remarry him instead, but Nikki was still in love with Victor. So Jack arranged to meet Genevieve in Las Vegas. Yet, Nikki finally had enough of Victor as she tried to stop Jack from marrying Genevieve and Victor tried to offer Genevieve the CEO of Beauty of Nature if she sold to him. Genevieve ended up selling to Victor, but the true ownership of Beauty of Nature remains in question.

Eventually, Nikki and Jack got closer despite Kyle Abbott's anger regarding their relationship. On August 3, 2012, Jack and Nikki remarried at the Abbott mansion in front of friends and family and even got Kyle's blessing. Yet, the day was filled with trouble as Victor eloped with Sharon. Before Nikki's ceremony, Victor tried to stop Nikki, but Sharon walked in and instead Victor just announced his new marriage to her. Yet, later that day Victor went missing as Victoria, Nick, Abby, and even secretly Nikki began looking for him. Eventually, Nikki decided to leave Genoa City to find Victor, as Sharon took control of Newman Enterprises as CEO. The Newman stock prices dropped, and Jack began an effort to buy Newman stock.
