Viewers of The Young and The Restless will recall that Jack began receiving mysterious texts from a Los Angeles number in recent episodes of The Young and The Restless; he had assumed it was a wrong number. Then he had answered the first text, responding to the sender that he or she had the wrong number but then he finds out the sender knows who he is!
Then he received a text back referring to his name and the text instructed him to come to an address in Los Angeles, and that waiting for him was something that he has been missing. Jack continues to receive texts pleading with him not to dismiss the messages and the mystery deepens, although he still wonders whether to take it seriously or not; he is with Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) and Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) when one comes in. Phyllis’ curiosity is piqued and she advises him to investigate the address the texter has sent, and she gives it a try and comes up with a name to match the phone number; Jack recognizes it and realizes the person is connected to his past.
Another message comes in as Jack is talking to Traci and it says please not to dismiss these messages, that he’ll be glad he pursued this, and he returns to Phyllis. Phyllis tells him the name connected to the phone number is “Hwang Nguyen” and Jack recognizes the name, having been the name of a former wife’s father who he also had a son with! Longtime viewers of The Young and The Restless will remember that Jack had met a woman when he was serving in the Vietnamese War named Luan Nguyen, (Elizabeth Sung) who later showed up in Genoa City under the name Luan Volien.
Jack found out he got the woman pregnant back in Vietnam and he had a son with her named Keemo Volien Abbott (Philip Moon); Luan had to leave the child in Vietnam. Longtime viewers of The Young and The Restless recall Jack and Luan married and Paul Williams (Doug Davidson) and Christine Blair (Lauralee Bell) traveled to Vietnam and brought Keemo back, then twenty years old – he’s be in his late forties now.
As Traci, Phyllis and Jack sit together at Society and Phyllis updates Traci on the mysterious texts – she says they’re not really sure but they think Keemo could have something to do with it! Traci displays a look of combined surprise and shock, as Keemo and his half-sister Mai Volien (Marianne Rees) left Genoa City after Luan died of a serious medical condition, not to mention Keemo had an attitude! Longtime viewers of The Young and The Restless will recall that Keemo had blamed Jack for taking time away that he and Mai could have been spending with their mother!
Also mysterious is the fact that back then, there was no such thing as cell phones, as viewers of The Young and The Restless will recall. Whoever this is would have had to do some digging to find out Jack’s cell phone number, especially since this appears to be his personal one, unless they have mutual friends in Los Angeles!
