John eventually recalled the night of the shooting, and came forward that it was he, not his daughter, who shot Tom. He was sentenced to seven years in prison, but before being sentenced, John, knowing of Jack (Peter Bergman) and Ashley's feelings about Gloria, gave her his Jabot proxy.

Throughout Gloria and John's "marriage", Jack and Ashley were never fond of her, which caused Gloria to go out of her way to prove herself a worthy member of the Jabot company. She went so far as to poison a batch of a new facial cream that Ashley had developed, GloAgain, so she could later "discover" the faulty product and save the company. This backfired when samples of GloAgain were sent out before Gloria could implement her plan and caused injuries to various people (including Abby Carlton, who ended up in the hospital). The following are characters from the American Soap opera The Young and the Restless who are notable for being the children of important characters but The death of a woman named Emma Gibson, which appeared to be related to her exposure to the tainted GloAgain, led to a lawsuit which hurt Jabot and caused Jack to be fired (though it later was determined the death might have been from other causes, unrelated to Jabot). Other than Kevin and Michael (who both kept their mother's secret), no one had learned of Gloria's part in this until William Bardwell, who left clues for his brother. Jeffrey Bardwell used the incident as blackmail to recover his brother's fortune as well as half of her winnings from the Abbott settlement.
In August 2006, Michael succeeded in getting the Wisconsin Governor to commute John's sentence to time served (allowing him to get out of prison), but tragically, before he could be released, he suffered a massive stroke, and was admitted to Memorial Hospital. Uncontrolled bleeding in his brain caused John to slip into a coma from which he would not reemerge. His neurologist informed the Abbotts of a DNR order John had previously signed. Gloria and Jack fought bitterly over this, Jack wanting to honor his father's wishes, and Gloria wanting to keep John on life support in the hope that he could somehow be revived. Eventually Gloria relented, and John was allowed to die. However, John's death did not ease the animosity between Gloria and John's children. The battle between Gloria and John's children, especially Jack, has escalated, mainly with the fact that Gloria and her family are slated to receive half of John's estate.
The only sibling that she really has little, if any, animosity with, was Jack's youngest sister, Traci (Beth Maitland), and this is because of her work as a writer and that she lives in New York, most of the time, and isn't always aware of what is going on with her family. Traci Ann Connolly (née Abbott; previously Romalotti and Carlton) is a Fictional character on the American Soap opera Beth Maitland (born May 12, 1958) is an Emmy Award -winning American Actress, best known for her portrayal of Traci Abbott
To add more insult to injury, it was discovered that John's attorney, due to health problems, hadn't filed the marriage license for John and Gloria, revealing that she and John were not legally married. What's worse, a handwritten will has turned up, basically leaving all of John's assets with his children; leaving Gloria and her family without a cent. A judge ruled that the second will was valid, and as such, Gloria as left disinherited.
However, Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) and Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) had promoted Gloria as Jabot's vice president of Creative Affairs, and has been casting more than a casual eye on district attorney Will Bardwell (Ted Shackelford) who had recently inherited a fortune due to his uncle's death. Katherine Chancellor (née Shepard; previously Sterling, Reynolds, and Thurston) is a Fictional character on CBS daytime Wilma Jeanne Cooper (born October 25, 1928 in Taft California) is an Emmy Award -winning American actress of Jill Abbott (née Foster; previously Reynolds, Chancellor, Thurston, Brooks, and Sterling) is the only original Jess Walton (born February 18, 1949) is a 2-time Emmy Award -winning American Actress, best known for her role as Jill Foster District Attorney William 'Will' Bardwell is a fictional character in the CBS Soap opera The Young and the Restless, portrayed Ted Shackelford, born June 23, 1946 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is an American Actor. This caused unexpected trouble between her and Jill, who was also enamored of Mr. Bardwell. Although she claimed that she would always love John, she quickly shed her widow's weeds and was already on her way to her next conquest.
Gloria eventually married William, who then discovered the truth about Gloria and the face cream. However, he then suffered a stroke, and was taken to hospital. A stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain functions due to a disturbance in the blood vessels supplying blood to the brain After holding him against his will and eventually admitting she would turn herself in (due to Will finding out about the tainted Glo-Again face cream), William Bardwell succumb to his stroke and died July 18, 2007. Events 390 BC - Roman - Gaulish Wars Battle of the Allia - a Roman army is defeated by raiding Gauls, Year 2007 ( MMVII) was a Common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar in the 21st century. After William died he inherited his uncle's money, fifty million dollars, and the money went to Gloria, William's then-wife.
Gloria planned a remembrance party for William, where his identical twin brother Jeffrey arrived. Jeffrey Bardwell is a Fictional character in the CBS Soap opera The Young and the Restless, portrayed by Actor Jeffrey later presented Gloria with a box of mementos that William sent him before he died. The box also contained a jar of the contaminated face cream. Gloria then became convinced that Jeffrey knew of her crime.
While being suspicious of Jeffrey, Gloria couldn't resist getting even with Jack for all the pain he caused her so she and Kevin released video footage of Jack admitting he illegally owned Jabot after the cream contamination. Michael and Lauren were furious after learning of this and Jack, Katherine, and Jill all became suspicious of Gloria and Kevin's involvement. Both Gloria and Jill decided to get revenge on Jack by testifying against him at his Senate hearing. Once she received a letter written to her by John before he died, Gloria read it to the Senate committee and it was revealed that Jack had indeed tricked his father into changing the will.
Gloria reveled in her newfound wealth with both John and William's money and continued her game of cat-and-mouse with Jeffrey. After convincing him to give her the cream as a remembrance of William, Gloria discovered that it was a fake. She then decided to "semi-seduce" him in an effort to get close enough to get the real cream. However, once inside his hotel room, she discovered an old letter from William to Jeffrey say "Don't let her get away with it. " With the help of an excuse from Kevin, she left but became even more worried. To get Jeff's suspicions off of her she decided to badmouth Jill and have him focus on her as the culprit. Jeffery then tested the cream on himself and was burned himself, resulting in him confronting Gloria as the true culprit. Gloria tried to play it off, but Jeffrey wasn't convinced. He then blackmailed Gloria into agreeing to marry him or he would turn her in to the police.
He became even more anxious once he discovered she would also be getting her inheritance from John Abbott. In order to rid herself of Jeffrey, Gloria tried several attempts, such as digging up dirt on him, paying him off, and trying to turn all her dollars into jewelry that would be hidden. All of these attepmts failed as Jeff was always one step ahead, partly because he was having Gloria followed.
Gloria then hatched another plan to rid of Jeffrey, by framing Jeffrey for her attempted murder--and, to that end, she finally agreed to marry him. They eloped and were married in Las Vegas. Gloria then decided to stage her "death" in a huge mansion: the Abbott house, which she decided to take from Jack. After the judge declared that she had the right to move in, Jack and Sharon (Sharon Case) refused to leave. Sharon Abbott (née Collins; previously Newman) is a Fictional character in the CBS Soap opera, The Young and the Restless Sharon Case (born February 9 1971 in Detroit Michigan) is an Emmy Award -winning American actress. However, Gloria moved in anyway with an army load of hideous furniture and various annoying moves to drive the out. Unbeknowst to Gloria, Jeffrey had implanted a spy camera in the mansion and quickly discovered her and Kevin's plot to frame him. Meanwhile, Jack and Sharon became increasingly suspicious of their "marriage. " As their various games continued, Jeff began to side with Jack and Sharon in wanting him and Gloria to move out on the agreement that they sell their portion. They then hired an actor look-alike of John named Alistair to scare Gloria out of the house. Gloria actually believed John's spirit was huanting her until Lauren saw him also. It wasn't long before Michael figured out what the three were up to and threatened to sue them due to Lauren's falling down the stairs after she was frightened by the fake John. Jack and Sharon then gave up the battle and gave Gloria the mansion. Unfortunately for Gloria, her sons had grown tired of all her schemes and decided not to help her anymore until she acted more mature. Meanwhile, to her chagrin, Gloria began developing real feelings for Jeffrey, but that was quickly interrupted when his Korean girlfriend Kyon came to town and locked Gloria in the wine cellar of the Abbott house while she attempted to get Jeffrey back. Gloria was then rescued by Allistair and threw Jeffrey out of the house saying she never wanted to see him again. Realizing that she was all alone, Gloria decided to let go and give Jack and Sharon back the house and made amends with her sons. Everyone was suspicious of her sudden change of heart, especially when she insisted Michael drop his suit against Jack for Lauren falling down the stairs. Meanwhile, she continued to struggle with her feelings for Jeffrey by trying to make him jealous while flirting with Alistair.
