Y&R: November 2013 Discussion Thread

Say what?

I thought he went through a run of, er, not being so employable, but I always liked him and I'll be genuinely happy if that's true, though I doubt it - OLTL wasted him IMO. I'll also be particularly pleased because it would send the online press into absolute paroxysms of fury.

Angelica McDaniel confirmed it

No more Hambone jive talking Billy.

[YRBB]

LOL I edited just in case, although I think a character simply changing faces does not really spoil anything. But I am very anti-spoiler (just not in this case) so voila!

And that almost feels like an understatement!

[Juliajms]

Why? It's not a spoiler.

[DaytimeFan]

David Tom's returning?! YES! Oh wow, see you in the next life Billy Miller, you talentless, teeth grinding hack!

Jess Walton will be absolutely thrilled, the mother/son chemistry she had with David Tom was pitch perfect. The flashbacks they can use!

Don't screw with JFP! She will replace you with someone the viewers, even your own fans, will be hard pressed to complain about. Good bye hambone!

Wonder if we will get more Billy and Jill interaction out of this?

[Chris B]

FINALLY an actual actor in the role and I like that they went back. Much like when B&B brought back Jacob Young instead of just picking a random newbie. I do detect some shade with him having to audition though. WTF? He won an Emmy as Billy and not only that, but he's continued to work. I feel the same about Another World having Ellen Wheeler audition TWICE (one time she lost!!) to come back as Marley/Vicky, a role she won an Emmy for.

[DaytimeFan]

The writing team would be absolutely stupid to not bring Billy and Jill back together.

[chicklitsandfantasies]

Was it confirmed that he actually had re-audition or if they just decided to call him up?

[ajsp35801]

Putting out casting calls doesn't mean he auditioned...

[Taoboi]

You'll welcome, Sean.

And then, she went in on Brad. And in that moment, IMHO AH was Victoria. Now if you have that scene, I would love you forever.

Have not sen it since it first aired.

It's a shame that that scene and the one above are so few and far between.

[ajsp35801]

AH doesn't play Victoria like she used to...she gets all whispery now when Victoria is mad. I will never understand that choice...

[Chris B]

Of course casting calls don't mean he auditioned, but SOD clearly stating that he auditioned alongside other acotrs does...

[ajsp35801]

Oh okay...did they say who else auditioned?
