Character History

Alistair is a down-on-his-luck actor who happens to be a look-a-like of the late John Abbott (also played by Douglas). He was introduced on March 18, 2008, when John's son Jack (Peter Bergman) and his wife Sharon (Sharon Case) hired him in a plot to evict John's manipulative widow, Gloria (Judith Chapman), and her new husband Jeffrey Bardwell (Ted Shackelford), from the Abbott mansion.

Alistair enjoys his beer and wine and is commonly drunk, causing interference with Jack and Sharon's plans. In an attempt to get rid of him once he was fired, he escaped from Sharon and returned to the Abbott mansion to pursue his attraction for Gloria. When he entered the house, Lauren was about to walk down the stairs when she saw him, thinking he was John Abbott, and fainted, causing her to fall down the stairs and pass out.

Alistair ran into Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) at Crimson Lights Coffeehouse, and she was surprised at how similar Alistair looked to John. She then saw Alistair near her house and invited him inside, where she learned more about Alistair. Jill Foster Abbott (Jess Walton), her daughter, was also shocked when she first saw Alistair. The two women later learned more about Jack's plot against Gloria, and the fact that Alistair had fallen in love with Gloria.

Eventually, Jack and Sharon decided that it was time to be rid of Alistair. The Abbotts made a $50,000 donation to a struggling, out-of-area theater group in exchange for Alistair being cast in both a Summer and Fall production (the latter being the role of "Felix" in The Odd Couple). Before he could leave, however, Alistair insisted on saying goodbye to Gloria.
