Through the flashbacks, viewers were able to see how Jack felt like he had to step up after their mother abandoned them, causing his childhood to end too soon. It also became clear how Jack and Ashley’s rivalry began in their youth based on how their parents treated them. 

But while the episodes and flashbacks were fraught with drama, Peter Bergman (Jack), Marla Adams (Dina), Eileen Davidson (Ashley), and Beth Maitland (Traci) had a blast on set with their younger counterparts!
