List of The Young and the Restless characters introduced in 2015

Marco Annicelli was a primary antagonist in Victor Newman's plan to bring down his rival, Jack Abbott. He was portrayed by Peter Bergman, who portrayed Jack at the same time.

Marco's character was introduced in a plot in which Jack Abbott's character would be forcibly swapped out. He acted as a doppelgänger, and took over his life, while Real Jack was held captive in an unknown location. This was revealed in April 2015. ''On-Air On-Soaps'' noted that there was much speculation leading up to the reveal, observing that "Many in the audience guessed it". Bergman took on dual roles, the first time he had done this in his career. The actor said that he was "having a ball" playing two characters, saying: "The challenge is to make it entertaining and the best way to do that is to make a lot of it funny, and we do." Luke Kerr of ''Daytime Confidential'' wrote: "[Victor] went shopping at Moguls-R-Us and came home with a shiny, new Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) doppelganger, whom he's unleashed on Genoa City." Little was known about Marco upon his introduction to the soap opera, apart from the fact that he was found by Victor in a Peruvian prison, although Bergman speculated that the character "is quite literally a doppelgänger, that lookalike we all supposedly have walking around on the planet somewhere". The character is described as a "loose cannon". Bergman also told ''TV Insider'' that Fake Jack "likes to wear bright stuff. I've been having a ball with the people in the wardrobe department!"
