Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) was less resistant to Phyllis replacing blood family members. Billy Abbott’s (Jason Thompson) cynicism seemed connected to his jaded view of Phyllis, which is tied to his one-time romantic connection to Red.
Phyllis’ digital research, which has long been one of her talents, allowed Jack to learn where the texts he has been receiving originated. Her lead takes both characters to Los Angeles, California, where Jack’s son recently died.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Jack Abbott’s Backstory Expanding
It has been more than a quarter-century since devoted Y&R viewers last saw Keemo Volien Abbott (Philip Moon). That was the extended name he took after being reunited with his parents in Genoa City, Wisconsin.
Keemo was born during the latter days of the Vietnam War in the mid-1970s. His mother’s maiden name was Nguyen. Luan Nguyen Volien (Elizabeth Sung) met Jack while he was serving a tour with the United States military.

Jack never learned that he was a father until Y&R’s writing staff created that storyline in the mid-1990s. Luan gave Keemo up for adoption before leaving for the US, where she opened a restaurant. Christine Williams (Lauralee Bell) was a regular customer at that location, which sparked an expansion of Jack’s backstory.
Y&R Spoilers – Name Change To Honor Luan Volien Abbott
Keemo told his father in recent years that he wanted to change his name to honor his late mother’s side of his family. So, Keemo Volien Abbott took the name Nguyen.
A connection to Keemo’s grandfather was also employed as the location where the character Moon once played was linked to Hao Nguyen (no actor cast for this retrospective role). So, it appears as though Keemo made a full name change, which was linked to his desire to cut himself off from Jack.
Bergman’s character never learned why Keemo felt so bitterly toward him, as their past differences involving Luan seemed to be resolved when the character Moon played returned to Vietnam in 1996.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Allie Abbott Joins The Family?
Kelsey Wang (formerly Daisy Kwan on General Hospital) has been cast to play a character called Allie. Her connection to Keemo is speculative.
Allie appears to be in the age range where she logically fits as Keemo’s daughter. Making that assumption means that Jack lost a son and will eventually realize that he has a granddaughter. But did Allie send those cryptic texts?
