DT was doing an outstanding job once again as Billy. It's not his fault he doesn't have chemistry with vampira.

According to some, DT ought to have made it work with an actress than even people like Braeden, MTS and Don Diamont could never make happen!

On top of that, he was responsible for playing "Billy" instead of the character he made popular and successful. Like I said, a shame.

Wait a minute -- Papa Bell actually attempted to pair The Mustache with The Bug? I totally do not remember that! Wow. He really did love his daughter, didn't he? (Either that, or he was looking for a really good reason to get her away from the show, lol.)

You are lucky not to remember. It was disgusting, like it has been everytime Victor was going after a significantly younger woman. On top of that, Nikki started getting jealous of Christine and it was really weird to watch. I don't know what he was thinking with that one, I really don't. Thank God it never advanced significantly. *shudder* Nowadays, they would have gotten married, children, multiple crap stories, big romance and all that jazz.

LML told me when they fired DS, that there's nothing like the original. This writer is telling me what exactly about the original, that they are replacable..

So was BM and the writers' interpretation of Billy. And I'm sorry, but BM's Billy didn't come across all that manly either.

This really all boils down to one thing: BM got some people hot and bothered. They want his particular brand of supposed machoness coupled with beefy chest. That's what it has always been about (just like it has with the MM situation).

He needs to STFU and quit kissin ass to those that really suck...like bucktooth!!

There's a reason Burgess Jenkins has never been a leading man. His roles on One Tree Hill, Nashville, and Army Wives were supporting. He is a decent actor, but he's not a leading man. I wish him luck in the role that he'll age about 10 years. I hope he has chem with Jess Walton and Peter Bergman, or else Jill's relationship w/ Billy will disappear like it did when Smirkles Miller played the role, which is a shame.

You know he will be fired soon. Like someone said they are just waiting for BM to flop and ask for his job back....what a waste of the role of Billy.

It really sucks that Producers believe that ABS on Men & Firm breasts on women are what makes a good "Actor" and thats all what fans wanna see. Give me someone who can ACT. That is key here and always should be

Thank you. An actor can only interpret what's on the page, Billy has been written like a boy since he came back on the canvas in the form of Billy Miller. He went from being a playBOY to a BOY playing house with a frigid, disheveled haired, little girl (Victoria). The character has never matured not even during the Delia death story. He still acted impulsively like a boy. He slept with Kelly and pouted around town like a child. Nothing BM's Billy did was "manly," unless they are counting those "love scenes" with Victoria, which did nothing for me IMO.

the only thing "manly" about BM and his Billy was his body

I wouldn't even go that far, lol.

I'm not saying I object to Billy Abbott being turned into the Second Coming of Uncle Jack. There's nothing wrong with writing about a self-destructive womanizer who wants to do the Right Thing but who keeps screwing up his life. That could be a virtual goldmine of story opportunities. It's just that Terry Lester pulled that off so well, with so much natural charisma and talent; and BM just...well...he just comes up short (in more ways than one, that dude is a freakin' midget, amirite?).

I don't know why I read the comments on DC about this story

This really all boils down to one thing: BM got some people hot and bothered. They want his particular brand of supposed machoness coupled with beefy chest. That's what it has always been about (just like it has with the MM situation).

Yes. Folks found BM charming and wanted to take a ride. They didn't want to ride DT. End of story. But DT could have done something about that though. He has a very attractive face. I think he is a cutey. All he needed was a personal trainer and a diet plan.
