Deceased character returns to Y&R

Deceased character returns to Y&R

Y&R's John Abbott may be gone, but he'll never be forgotten -- especially because he'll once again be returning to Genoa City.

The fact that he's dead isn't stopping The Young and the Restless' John Abbott from making a return to Genoa City. The fan favorite character will be popping up for another visit from beyond the grave.

Soaps In Depth reports that Jerry Douglas is returning as Jack's dad later this month. As fans of the show already know, the character has appeared on numerous occasions since his death in 2007, mostly as an apparition imagined by Jack (Peter Bergman) or Billy (Burgess Jenkins) when one of the men has done something their father would disapprove of.

Look for Douglas' appearance on Tuesday, March 24.
