The Young and the Restless star Peter Bergman was very protective when he heard that his on-screen family home was going to be redesigned. On the April 25, 2025, episode of the soap opera, the updated set made its debut.
Bergman has portrayed the role of Jack Abbott since 1989, and the Abbott household set has been the same since day one. Speaking to TV Insider, Bergman shared, “There has been talk of changing it along the way. Someone would say, “Maybe the set needs a little change?” I’d jump in and say, “No, there is history here.” This is literally the set I auditioned for except for a few tchotchkes.”
Bergman described the updated set as “You’ll recognize the set immediately. It still has the same shape, the staircase is in the back, and the dining room is off to the left. Some of the furnishings and the wallpaper are different. It’s literally the same shape. Otherwise, they went to great lengths to make sure it looked the same to Peter Bergman and to the audience.”
On-screen Jack’s wife Diane (Susan Walters) approached him about redesigning the family home. Bergman said, “The next step is Diane waiting for Jack’s approval. It’s clear that Diane really cares what the family thinks about this. She really cares. That ended up being a very interesting chapter in Diane’s development on the show. She’s proved herself to Jack and (to their son) Kyle (Michael Mealor). There’s the rest of the family’s response, too. It’s an interesting turn. It has opened the door to her asking, “Who am I in this Abbott family?” in a very interesting way. A lot of thought went into this.”
Discussing how this will impact his character’s life and marriage, Bergman explained, “This redo of the Abbott mansion is a shot in the arm for Jack and Diane’s marriage. It’s a reminder that he married a very special woman.”
Jack Abbott isn’t Bergman’s only notable soap opera role. The Daytime Emmy-winning actor started his soap career in 1979 as Cliff Warner on All My Children.
The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS at 12:30 p.m. ET, and streams weekdays on Paramount+.
