Y&R actor Peter Bergman meets with son on the soap’s set | Sweet Family Reunion
From Mark Grossman to Conner Floyd, we have seen a lot of actors’ real families visiting the Young and Restless set in the past months. This time, Peter Bergman got reunited with one of his. Peter finally met his son at the CBS studio, and we have to say, he’s a lot older than we thought. So let’s find out who the mystery son is right away.
How many children do Peter Bergman have in real life?
Peter Bergman has been on Young and the Restless for 34 years, portraying the role of Jack Abbott. In all these years, he has had three onscreen kids, two of whom are sadly not alive anymore.
In real life, Bergman and his wife Mariellen Bergman have one daughter and one son. Recently, we just found out that he has one more son, that no one really knew about. All thanks to our Young and Restless newest cast member Brian Gaskill, who gave us a little reminder.

Brian Gaskill, the soap opera maestro with a resume longer than CVS receipt, just made his first Y&R debut in a January 8 episode as Seth and is now stirring up some drama in Genoa city as Nikki’s AA sponsor. But his connection runs deep as he unexpectedly reunites with on-screen dad, Peter Bergman.

Gaskill was once playing the role of the golden-haired Bobby Warner, offspring of Dr. Cliff Warner and the late Sybil Thorne, on the New York soap All My Children back in 1995. And who played his dad? None other than Peter Bergman, who was rocking the role of Jack Abbott on The Young and the Restless 3,000 miles away in Hollywood. If you didn’t know, Bergman played as Dr. Cliff in All My Children from 1979 to 1989, when he moved to Genoa City. As Gaskill couldn’t meet him on screen then, he decided to pay a little visit to his TV dad on the first at Y&R set.
Despite never sharing a scene on All My Children, where Gaskill played Bergman’s son, the two finally crossed paths in Genoa City.
Gaskill said, “I took a risk and went over to the set he was working in to say hi. Even though we never worked together, he knew I’d played his son. I’d seen him at awards shows. He was always really, really nice. But I hadn’t seen him in years.”

Gaskill no longer looks like the young Bobby anymore obviously as he is in his 50s, so he wouldn’t actually be surprised if Peter didn’t recognize him. “I have salt-and-pepper hair that’s getting whiter by the month. I’m fine with it. I feel like I’m blond again. I like the texture and the colors,” he said. But Peter, in fact, did recognize him. With a big smile and a big hug, Peter even asked him what he was doing on the set.
Bergman was thrilled to have him on the show and Gaskill described him as, “a ball of energy, so positive, so welcoming.” But Peter isn’t the only one he met. Gaskill also had a little fun surprising Colleen Zenk, who plays as Aunt Jordan, when they crossed paths. You see, back in 2005, Gaskill rocked the role of BJ Green for four months on As the World Turns while Zenk was doing her thing as the iconic Barbara. At first, Zenk didn’t recognize him but when she did, she was shook to see how grown he was.

Lastly, after having a little reunion with all his senior actors, he went deep into his own role as Seth in Y&R. “I can’t promise to say I know everything about this guy yet but I bring myself to him. He has a desire to be a good person,” he said.
We assume that Nikki can totally lean on her sponsor although Seth has his fair share of challenges to deal with. “We’re all very human and damaged,” Gaskill says. “Seth’s not perfect or ‘Mr. Goody Two-Shoes.’ My goal is to keep Seth human and complicated.” Looks pretty solid to us.
