Kerry approached him backstage and revealed that she's the daughter he'd given
up for adoption in the late '80s. She showed him a photo of her biological
mother, whom the actor recognized. The next night, Jack invited Kerry on stage
with him and revealed to the audience that he'd "been" with her mother back in
the day; the woman then called him nine months later to inform him that she'd
had his baby, but was giving her up for adoption. Kerry was raised in a foster
home, then hired a private investigator to find her biological parents. Jack

Harrison, 16. Jack and Heather Locklear announced the end

actors. Also, judging pre-nominees hopefuls will take place online. The top 10
pre-nominees from each category will be announced on March 2, 2012.

While appearing on Y&R, Sean's on a book tour, so check out his schedule at

characterization to the forefront and finding nuances in the characters that
we haven't examined for a while, so I'm feeling very positive."
