Y&R: What?? Billy Miller WON'T Be Playing Billy Abbott?


Recommended Posts

I just read this from Daytime Dial:

The Young and the Restless has announced that Billy Miller's (ex-Richie, All My Children) first airdate will be Sept. 19. However, he will not be playing Billy Abbott (son of John and Jill), which had been widely reported, including here. Instead he has been cast in a new role, that of Liam, a mysterious boyfriend of Amber's (Adrienne Frantz).

What fresh hell? Somebody tell me this is wrong...PLEASE! And if he is Liam, that he's really WilLIAM Abbott.

How many ex-BF's of Amber's have already shown up? Plum? The other guys that died, the guys from that internet crap series CBS tried to shove down our throats. Plus Amber's Forester connections are never addressed.

Does Hogan just think he's writing this soap from scratch? Cause that's what it looks like.

Spoilers = death of soaps.

So, I think this is marketing brilliance...put two kinds of misinformation out there, and let the audience stew! Eventually, train them they can't trust spoilers, so that spoilers explode and die forever :).

I know, this is wishful thinking and unrealistic :).

I agree and disagree with you.

Spoilers are not the detah of soaps. A small part, sure, but i wouldnt ever credit them with the death of soaps. Soaps being stuck in the past is the death of soaps. Soaps use to be ground breaking and ahead of the times. Now they are... well, not. Between them dropping the groundbreaking true to life yet over the top but never seemed unreal storytelling it has turned people off. Combined with the now awful timeslot, the auits and the mismangment and that is the death of soap operas.

Id love to also include fanbases, but honestly - i dont think they do any harm or good.

Now, back on to topic i think it would be *amazing* if Amber ramn into this guy named Liam and then told Daniel she ahd met someone new and was moving on. Words gets around and when Chloe hears that Amber met a guy named Liam she gets an odd look on her face - nothing to telling. Then as Amber & laim date we the audiance find out that he is Billy Abbott. of course no one is happy hes dating amber telling him shes just after his money when in reality she wasnt - she was using him to get over daniel, not for his money - then it coems out that hes the man Chloe slept with. It realy could make for a huge storyline focused around the younger set of colleen/daniel/amber/billy/chloekate/cane/lily and it would be even better if they found a way to tie devon in. it would also use the older chars like jill, kay, esther, niel, jack, phyliss.

i know along that liam was billy because amber said he was rich and chole said'' i thought i know all the trust fund babies''so that gave me the ideal it was billy he has been in town along and nobody have seen him beside chole and amber, i just hope he does not punish cane for become CEO of jabot and he use that for not telling him the truth about the baby,i hope the writer don't push the brother into war because of the job and the baby, it will not be fair if cane raise that chilld and then find out the chilld is not his when he or she is 17 like lilly it will not be fair i hope all these madness wrap up before christmas. :angry: :angry:

    • The problem is that foyer doesn't look like it has ANY connection to that garbage glitter trash living room at Bill and Hayley's. I have to disagree strongly with both of you on Andre's wardrobe. I like it -- a lot. I don't think anything about it is dated, but that he looks like a guy who cares about fashion. Andre is a short king, but I don't want to see him lost in baggy clothes or chunky sweaters.

    • I have this nagging feeling we think of different ones as the best! Care to fulfill my curiosity? Which are you thinking of? 
    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.
