It's sad, I loved his portrayal of Billy when he first came on and now I find him completely unwatchable which I guess is fitting as I find the show to be in the same state. Later Billy.

Chompers too funny!

I guess Amelie Henlie will be sent to the backburner.

Nelson tweeted that the issue is money:

I'm hearing Billy Miller's exit is true and it's all about money! Hopefully, they'll throw some cash at him.

I guess Amelie Henlie will be sent to the backburner.

Which is fantastic news!

Billy will probably go to jail for 6 months for baby stealing and come home with a new face to win Victoria back from whomever she is with.

Carl may not have to be sad anymore. Miller may be staying after all.

I hope he stays. I like Billy and Victoria. Still, I was sort of hoping they would put Billy Abbott in prison for at least a few months. He did buy a baby and with the kind of money he has and the technology available, there's no excuse for that nonsense. It was an act of entitlement and he deserves to do some time for it.

I saw no chemistry between Bacteria, but then, I never saw any with Billy and anyone he ever shared a scene with, aside from his relationship with Sharon, and a few scenes with Lily. The relationship was only done IMO because Billy Miller had tanked with several high-profile pairings and this was their chance to glue him to the Newmans, as they had wanted to do from the start. Victoria is long dead as a character.

Carl may not have to be sad anymore. Miller may be staying after all.

I guess it depends on how much money they can cough up. I'm sure a few of the vets who actually make an effort in scenes can get another pay cut.

Pretty much what you get when you use "STARS" to rescue your dying show.

Guess, he is tired of Y&R. I am sure that he will get prime time work.

I've never liked his work on Y&R but he guest starred on thew FX series Justified earlier this year and I thought he did a great job.

Well I hope he stays, I like him as Billy Abbott.

I wish he could come back as Richie, man he was awesome as Richie, so freaking hot too

theres no place for Ritchie on the show. I loved him too but the ship has sailed. I think he could make a good Eric recast on Days

BM was great as the pedophile/kidnapper on Justified. I can see him transitioning from guest spots to a regular on a prime time show. He is a good actor who got lazy and bored and developed bad habits doing repetitive soap stories as the same character for such a long time. If he is smart, he will cut the cord and go pursue a prime time career. Y&R or another soap will take him back if they are still around and he needs to come back in a couple years.

I used to love Billy, but the toxic pairing of Billy/Snorboria has turned me against the character.

However, Billy Miller leaving(if it comes to pass) would be a huge blow to Y&R.
