f'n sucks that I don't have a clue who Billy Clyde is. How evil was he?

For starters, BCT raped and impregnated one of his "girls," Estelle, and tried to bury her alive.

He sounds amazing! I love dark drama from the past. He's meant to be a villain right, none of this redeem me [!@#$%^&*] right?

He stalked and kidnapped Dixie and also "killed" Tad although he of course turned up alive a couple of years later. She and Opal better get material with him. He just might send Dixie over the edge

I don't think there's any way to redeem Billy Clyde, really. I mean, you could, but people are more likely to buy Bianca as a man-stealing tramp.

Billy Clyde was a pimp who impregnated one of his hookers, Donna Beck, who gave birth to Emily Ann. Emily Ann married Joey Martin (soon to be known as Jake Martin) and became pregnant with his baby. Billy Clyde struggled with Emily Ann on top of the stairs entering Emily Ann's loft and she fell down, losing her baby with Joey. She became psycho and tried to kill Joey and Katie Kennicott and was shipped off. Then, Billy Clyde became obsessed with Dixie Cooney, kidnapped her and had an epic shootout with the cops. Derek Frye took a bullet for Tad and became temporarily paralyzed. Later on, when Dixie and Tad were supposed to be married, Billy Clyde kidnapped Tad on his wedding day, bound him up in a shack with explosives in hopes of killing Tad so he could have Dixie to himself. Tad broke free, chased Billy Clyde on to the Lockport Bridge and when the bomb went off, the shockwaves knocked Tad and Billy Clyde off the bridge. Tad washed ashore with amnesia and wound up hitching a ride to California. Everyone presumed Tad was dead because the body wasn't recovered and the current was described as too strong for Tad to survive. Billy Clyde's body was supposedly recovered with a broken neck after hitting the water from the fall. So, for the last 22 years, Billy Clyde has been presumed dead.

You mean Estelle. Donna was Emily Ann's adoptive/step mom.

I wonder whether AMC would be up for bringing back Tyrone as well?

Never mind. Roscoe Orman would just worry again about "Sesame Street" viewers getting "Gordon" and "Tyrone" mixed up.

YES! no I don't want redeeming at all. Just a bad mother you know what

Awesomesauce! I'm too [!@#$%^&*] excited for this character!

Billy Clyde used to bring up the name Jehovah a lot, I think. I grew up in and out of the Jehovah Witness religion, so that always intrigued/scared me.

This cabin "wedding" was lodged in my memory for about 10-15 years before my memory started going downhill.

So I'm rewatching Thursday in preparation for tomorrow- after all the schedule change insanity, I don't even remember what happened on Thursday's episodes. Dixie is a therapist?!? Is this the first we have heard of this? I find this hilarious after she seemed so unhinged in the first few episodes. But I guess it could be a good way to get her interacting with people outside of JR & AJ. I remember hearing Cady loved working with the younger set on ATWT so maybe they'll throw her in with Celia when the visions stuff amps up or Cass.

I think they made her a therapist, specifically so she will be interacting with JR more.

Dixie working as a therapist is like me working as a weight loss counselor...only a little less believable.

Perhaps Dixie should have been a writer?

I dont see the problem with it. It seems like an occupation that would suit her well

I think it's perfectly believable. Crazy people always want to be therapists. It's their way of fixing themselves.
