The Abbott family: Second generation
Jack Abbott (played by Peter Bergman)
The eldest Abbott sibling, Jack Abbott, is the son of John Abbott and Dina Mergeron. He is always on the lookout for his family but has his own set of problems that he has to continue to deal with, including sibling wars. At the moment, he is married to Diane Jenkins, and the two are plotting to keep their bratty son, Kyle Abbott, safe from the agendas of Victor Newman.
While Ashley isn’t John’s biological daughter, she has always been considered an Abbott family member. Born to Dina Mergeron and Brent Davis, Ashleyan is an intelligent woman with an unpredictable mindset. Currently, she has been healing from her dissociative personality disorder diagnosis.
Traci Abbott (played by Beth Maitland)
The youngest daughter and the glue of the Abbott family, Traci is all things heartfelt and kind. Born to Dina and John, she is always there for all her siblings, regardless of their interpersonal strife. Be it a good piece of advice or a warm hug, you can trust Traci to be there for you in your rough times.
Billy Abbott (played by Jason Thompson)
Billy Abbott is the youngest in the family and the known troublemaker. Born to John and Jill Abbott, he constantly feels like he’s being underestimated and undermined. His string of bad decisions, in his professional or personal life, don’t exactly seem to help his case either. He has had tiffs with both Jack and Ashley, but the Abbotts always manage to get back together.
