Members Khan Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 For starters, BCT raped and impregnated one of his "girls," Estelle, and tried to bury her alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Clear Drama Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 He sounds amazing! I love dark drama from the past. He's meant to be a villain right, none of this redeem me [!@#$%^&*] right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 18, 2013 Members Share Posted May 18, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 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.

Members EnglishTea Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 You mean Estelle. Donna was Emily Ann's adoptive/step mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Clear Drama Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 so that accent is a normal thing? thank you btw YES! no I don't want redeeming at all. Just a bad mother you know what Awesomesauce! I'm too [!@#$%^&*] excited for this character! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N62fXweF-PM The bridge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uh227fDiYE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members greens_dupres Posted May 19, 2013 Members Share Posted May 19, 2013 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.

Members Cheap21 Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think they made her a therapist, specifically so she will be interacting with JR more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 I dont see the problem with it. It seems like an occupation that would suit her well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted May 20, 2013 Members Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think it's perfectly believable. Crazy people always want to be therapists. It's their way of fixing themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
