They're doing a memorial for him at YR. From brytni sarpys Instagram.

I wish she didn't have to say what caused his death, but so many were putting out statements and conjecture that she probably felt she had no choice. which is truly a shame.

Yes, unfortunately she's been having to argue with morons on Twitter who are saying it was a stroke or PSP etc.

Yeah, a bit surprised the new EP hasn't been announced. When Bryan left I'm pretty sure it was announced quickly that Lucy was taking the reigns.

Yes. This is the other shoe I have been waiting to drop. Can you tell me where this can be found if anyone wants to double check for themselves?

She shared it via Billy's Manager

His mother put out this statement. He committed suicide.

None of the stories end in that....

She deleted it afterwards because his mother said on Twitter the stroke stories weren't true.

There is more on his Facebook live. He said Billy reached out to him a while ago when he heard about his cancer.

Holy crap! This one is a shocker. His birthday was only the day before mine. So sad that, ironically, this is reported on what would have been his birthday!

I realize it's none of our business, but I do wonder how he died. Human nature, I suppose.

May he rest in peace!

Yes it's very sad and shocking.

Hope you have a good birthday though

Yes. Thank you for letting us know. Sorry that earlier in the GH thread I wasn't sure about the news - this is the only place I go to for soaps so it was the first I'd heard.

Oh it's fine, I was a bit hesitant about asking if anyone knew anything, at that point it was just trickling out, so I was scared if I said something then an hour later it would be revealed he's fine and I would look like a POS for spreading rumors. 

Oh boy. I do wish they were just fake rumors

Shocking news. 

When I first came here Miller was one of the hot topics of conversation and burned brightly in that era of Y&R. Love or hate his work, there was always something to talk about. He was a very magnetic presence.  And when he went to GH he managed to win many fans over after the exit of Steve Burton, one of the biggest presences on that show over the last 30 years. 

I was so annoyed at the time with the Daytime Confidential and other soap press overhype of the Maria Bell run that I probably did not give Miller the credit I should have at times for his stint on Y&R. And I'm sorry for that, not that it mattered, as he will always define Billy Abbott to many fans.

I hope he is at peace and I'm thinking of all his friends and family right now.

So many losses in daytime this year.

 

Yeah, prayers to his friends and the cast of GH and YR. It’s just tragic news after tragic news for the GH cast this year.

Was that said somewhere?

 all the Billy/killy fans were posting and talking about it, his friends beau Clark and Brytni Sarpy posted about sad news. I couldn't find anything about it so I just wanted to ask here. 

Billy Miller passed away? 

This Victoria/Victor stuff

In a way I how Audra was the shark swimming in the water and went after the wounded Tucker and slept with him again on her own terms and agenda. This show has been needing this type of active vixen/ femme fatale for a long time. 
 

The Daniel/Heather/Lucy scenes have been a highlight so far. Fairly realistic and well acted, although the whole Portugal thing is silly. Why couldn’t it just be like Seattle or Boston or Toronto lol?

I like that Audra just doesn't really care about Kyle all that much. Tucker asked if taking over her BFs family's company bothered her and she was like Nah do it.

I like them writing Nikki strong again. She's threatened: Kyle and Audra, Nate, and soon to be Adam.

I have the sinking feeling the show is angling for a some strange oddball Sharon/Chance/Summer triangle, which is completely unnecessary. 
 

Also apparently Chelsea leaves Geona City with Connor on Monday and it sounds like she’s not coming back anytime soon say she can work virtually while gone……I’m guessing @lucaslesann23 this is MCE’s maternity leave exit but it also sounds so permanent at the same time. 

Oh and Chance is becoming chief of police. 

@soapfan770 Tessa and Mariah are getting a storyline. They notice their Baby isn't reacting to things, Loud noises, her name etc and they think she might be deaf.

The pacing is terrible and the drama is absent because apparently on Monday

  Hide contents

Kyle learns about the blackmail while having sex with Audra and chooses to help her and save her reputation.

 

Well to be fair

It was on August 3 (it's where I'm up to so I just watched it). It was 30 seconds of Adam explaining to Phyllis lol. If you went to the bathroom, you'd have missed it.

I would just like to know what the heck goes on with the pacing with this regime specifically.

Some stories like the recent Phyllis one drags for months and months but this rape scandal gets uncovered, blackmailed over and revealed in 2-3 weeks.

So that rape scandal comes out already?

Welp, I clearly know nothing

Thing is, there is no obvious option out there to step in. I’ve no reason to think Bryan Kirkwood would jump back in, even for a short stint, Bevan Lee-style at Home and Away in 2004 and 2008. 

I don’t know anything about the current Hollyoaks setup to identify anyone. 

I don’t imagine anyone from the Eastenders or Doctors teams would want to leave to join another.

I imagine fans of Hollyoaks wouldn’t want anyone from the Coronation Street or especially the Emmerdale teams.

The better producers and writers from the last 20 years (Myar-Craig Brown, Alison Davis, Diederick Santer, Kathleen Beedles, Johnathan Young, etc) have all seemingly left the soap world or retired.

Anybody in anyone else’s mind?

Just like last time. Came in and killed off or got rid of half the cast then leaves.
