You know the timeline is so weird. Supposedly the sale happened in 1990 but then there are stories about Jack buying back Jabot in 1999. I have watched for the most part since the beginning & the back & forth between Jack & Victor is BORING! I stopped watching about 9 months ago (I can't stand that Victor the sociopath always wins), I read the recaps at a soap site (link below) & maybe someone there can find exactly what you are looking for. I tried different searches but came up with things adjacent but not specific?

I want to reply in earnest but there's a curious glitch preventing me from replying right now - stay tuned...!

I don't necessarily disagree but, sadly, it's all too common in real life that some people just will not ever get along, or see eye-to-eye.

I stopped watching about 9 months ago

I was exposed to The Young and the Restless in the 70s as a kid whose mother watched it. She was a nurse who had two different shifts, and this particular show aired twice a day, so she could catch either the mid-day or the late afternoon showing, depending on the shift she was on. It was, due to its keen scheduling, the only soap she could stay tuned into, so she followed it.

Strangely, in the 80s as a teenager, somehow the show became cool with my fellow school pals, when it morphed into "The Y&R". So, rather than being something I knew about because of my mom, it became something we talked about in the school yard.

I kept up with it into the 90s but ended up tuning out at some point in that decade.

(I can't stand that Victor the sociopath always wins)

And I love when Victor wins and Jack loses! Isn't that hilarious?! I always found Jack to be silly for waging a never-ending, unwinnable war against Victor Newman. If he just chilled, they could have ruled the world together. Jack was no business man, he was a spoiled rich kid who was inserted into the business his father built. Newman ran multiple successful businesses, which he built with no inheritance. That's why John and Victor respected each other, and Jack was resentful that Victor garnered the approval he so longed for himself from his father.

And that's what made that moment so pivotal in the entire saga of their war. It was Jack, trying to act like a business man, persuading his father to go public, thinking he knew the ropes of the bigger game, only to be one-upped, once again, by Victor, a real businessman. And when John had the heart attack, Jack of course seeks to scapegoat Victor, but it was Jack's blind ambition that was now hurting his own father.

But, again, that's only how I see it. There are lots of people on Team Jack who just hate Victor. I get it. It's all good, diversity makes life interesting!

I'm not a Jack fan either BUT I detest Victor. The only time he seemed even a little bit human was when he was on the farm with Hope. But we all know how long that lasted.
