[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 352277, member: 27"] Y&R also 'forgot' Keemo, Jack's son who (according to story at the time) was conceived during Jack's stint in Vietnam. Peter Bergman was said to have hated the storyline, and after a few years of Keemo out of town, they wrote the show as if Keemo never existed (referring to Kyle as Jack's only son), and Jack's character was retconned to having never even gone to Vietnam. Flashbacks were done with a time stamp of 15-year old Jack in 1971, which made him too young to be drafted in the Vietnam War. But once the show decided they needed to expand the Abbott clan a bit more, we were suddenly reminded of Keemo's existence---re-retconned? Un-retconned? Whatever. But rather than bring Keemo back directly, they introduced his daughter and said Keemo had died. This allowed the writing team to ignore the mistakes they made with Keemo while still using him to tie a new character to the canvas. [/QUOTE]
