HiJack fans!

During the gala Hilary lays a kiss on Mr. Abbott.

Oh yeah!

gross. in very poor taste on the part of tptb.

Lily has her issues with Hilary, they could have them meet hilary one day while out with neil and think she is great. Have her rescue that dog Humphrey from peril. Then have them bragging about her heroics. Thereby fueling lily's jealousy. Simple things like that.

exactly. i could not describe those scenes with Lane and the kids any better than thrown away. such a waste of airspace. with the polar vortex ratings so high, tptb probably don't even care either.

Apparently, he is ssssssooooo borrrrring and unattractive to boot. He whines and screeches and is a poor actor. I think it's just Code speak for, "I resent his presence". I personally don't put much stock in anything said on facebook. Most of that sample of the population of viewers can't tell Devon from Tyler in a video.

OMG. He is whining and screeching. It's horrible. And I miss BM's personality. Not sure that it would have shown during this ordeal but good Lord, DT's whining and screeching has got to stop.

just saw tomorrow's episode and I'm excited for Wednesday's episode where Billy confronts Victor

I'm not. Victor will eviscerate him. TGVN's BS is no longer watchable for me.

Gonna put my response spoiler because people could guess what happens from it

Here's hoping that the obvious grossness and clear lack of romantic chemistry will stop the cries for the pairing. But I doubt it. Most who are so gung Ho over it just have an anybody but Devon mentality. As I saw someone write somewhere else, paraphrasing, They claim to love hilary but would rather see her with Jack temporarily resulting in being off the show than to have her possibly be popular with Devon and stick around for a while. Then I see some respond by saying she won't stay long anyway so it won't matter. If a soap fan have decides they don't like a thing, then they won't no matter what.

I just regret it because it ruins a father/daughter relationship from here on out.

Billy is not allowed to whine about his daughter?

I love it! Because it is so soapy and is going to create drama!

Drama for HeVon, a pairing that has a lot of potential. And it is interesting because Hilary, this near-fatherless girl, is turning to the father figure in her life for so many unspoken, psychological reasons. she has a crush. Jack's reaction to all this is going to be particularly interesting.

I say it fleshes Hilary out so more, and I'm good with rational people doing impulsive, irrational things. That's always been a staple of Y&R. Bring it on!

If you don't mind the sound of a man whining and screeching as opposed to lamenting or grieving, more power to ya. If you read the previous posts you will see that people are complaining about the sound, not the grief, and I agree. Never before have I read that the sound of an actor whining is OK. I was as open as anyone to DT reprising the role of Billy. His younger appearance is......different, and the whining/screeching certainly doesn't do much to help that.

From the two days (Friday/Monday) that I've seen of DT, he seems so completely natural in the role. (I watched his first run too.) Considering the magnitude of the recast, not just of a popular actor, but in the middle of a huge storyline, I think DT has been doing a great job. As far as any whining, isn't he just playing out the script? It's not like DT creates the dialog! I like BM, but I'm glad DT was the actor they chose to replace him.

You basically proved our point

I think DT looks handsome. He looks fresh and young but that's a good thing. I don't want him old and haggard. Lol.

I only watched that one day he was on with jill. I thought he did great. I can't respond to whining or screeching because I haven't heard it yet.

No I haven't proved anyone's crazy point. But aren't you all doing something yourself, refusing any criticisms at all because he is DT?

I will not try to explain myself to people who are commmitted to misunderstanding me. Thankfully, in all my time here, there have only been 2 instances of this, both today and both about DT.

I think my posts on this forum clearly show that I am a reasonable and measured soap watcher. So go find a BM stan to be irrational with. I'm not one of them.

I certainly don't want him to look old and haggered either.

Well, I can see the benefit of it for Hevon to a certain point. At least it helps give them a real romance and intrigue. I need to think of the positive instead of the negative. See what things brings instead of what it takes away. I will be glued to the TV to see how it plays out.

DT seems very natural in his protrayal. He is a lot more subtle in his performance and it suits the character well.
