His character helped form one of the serial’s firstsupercouple s by falling in love and marryingTaylor Miller ’s character,Nina Cortlandt .

As the characters left the serial, they had not divorced another time.
Bergman parlayed this success into a very successful Vicks Formula 44 cough syrup advertising campaign starting in 1986, in which he told the viewing audience, "I’m not a doctor, but I play one on TV." Chris Robinson, who played Dr. Rick Webber on ABC's
General Hospital , also shares this same distinction.In a "
Soap Opera Digest " interview, Bergman said that he had honestly thought he would become the next Dr. Joe Martin (Ray MacDonnell , who has been on the show since its premiere in 1970).

The Young and the Restless ".Awards
