I would've rather seen Julie Pinson back as Billie. I was hoping she would return to the show full time to help out Kate w/Countess Wilhelmina. Looks like this is just going to be a short-term stint with Lisa Rinna back. LOL um ok. We'll see.

Thank God Billie isn't a cop any longer.

Lisa looked beyond horrible dressed in that ugly uniform.

Atleast her lips won't be returning this time. They could probably swallow the town square.

YEA! She's been my main request. I also wish they had gone with Pinson though as Soaptalk and her last return ruined Rinna as Billie for me

Julie lives in NYC with her hubby BW. Maybe PP can cast her on OLTL

Meh.

It'll be nice to see Billie again, provided they don't play her as a sad, pathetic loser like they did during most of Pinson's run.

But LOL at "pulling a James Franco." Suuuuure, Lisa.

I love Lisa Rinna...but I don't think this move is going to make DAYS any more enjoyable because so far I'm hating the "reboot"...

I don't think that necessarily means she wouldn't consider a job in California.

It is laughable to source says she is pulling a James Franco. Rinna needs a job and a paycheck.

I dont know what they will do with her outside of support Kate. The one thing that would make me super excited about having her back was if they had RKK back as well....

I knew she'd probably come back but not this soon.

I grew to like her a lot after her DWTS run and that good will has carried on ever since.

I think Billie is a good character to use for visits and then if they ever want to give her a real story they could always recast again.

I wouldn't mind seeing Krista Allen again.

Well of all the Billies, Lisa Rinna is definitely my favorite. But the role is played out. Please, for the love of God, keep her away from Bo & Hope! It was already old 'n tired in 2002 when she briefly returned, and again in 2004-2005 when Pinson was in the role.

My admiration for Rinna was heightened by seeing her on Celebrity Apprentice, but I hope she doesn't look all weathered and ridiculous like her onscreen brother. And won't she look a tad too old next to Lauren Koslow's Kate, her onscreen mama?

But hey, if we're returning to old-school DAYS from the 1992-1995 era, can we lure Deborah Adair out of retirement too?

Meh.

Agreed...dont care for Billie or Rinna...prefer Allen in the role.

Yup

As other places are speculating, if Billie must come back (and I hated the character, all incarnations, not that anyone asked or cares), I bet she will be Tan Dan's shoulder to cry on when Jennifer inevitably dumps his orange ass for Jack. Which is uber gross, considering Dan did Billie's own kid AND Billie's mother.
