“The Young and the Restless” has been a staple on daytime television for decades.

One such character was Gabriel Bingham (Justin Hartley).

The character has a fascinating history and even helped bring a fan-favorite character back into the mix.

The duo went to boarding school together and became close friends.

After Gabe’s father died, he returned home to take over the family business.

However, he ended up losing the company in a hostile takeover.

Meanwhile, Gabe was devoted to his ailing grandmother, Constance Bingham (Sally Kellerman).

He lived in his family’s mansion while taking care of her.

A woman named Sage Warner (Kelly Sullivan) also lived at the estate and helped care for Constance.

She also included that Sage was to be taken care of.

Adam did his best to pretend to be Gabe; however, people soon grew suspicious.

A simple DNA test eventually proved that Adam was the person who now had Gabe’s face.
