Members detroitpiston Posted October 31, 2015 Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 I've never liked the teeth grinder or Heinle but even when you compare, Tom still came up short. I think y'all gave and give him way too much leeway just because of his first run, that performer was not there during his last stint. When he wasn't cringe inducing he was laughably bad, just as out of place and awkward as Cady McClain and Kelly Sullivan. I'll agree that AH purposely tanked their scenes and should have been sent packing for it but even outside of her his performance was still poor. I would have maybe let the pairing with Chelsea play out a little longer with him and see if that could help but I think they would have ended up having to recast by the time Adam turned back up anyway. He did not have the screen presence to sell a triangle, a grieving father, a business man, or a guy who can't help but screw his life up. He just didn't have it.

Members DRW50 Posted October 31, 2015 Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 How embarrassing seeing comments at DC saying they need to bring back the "original" Billy - Filler Miller. Maybe when he's done killing ratings at GH the way he did at Y&R, they can snap him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members celine12 Posted October 31, 2015 Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 David Tom was a nerdy little wimp and he looked about 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted October 31, 2015 Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 David Tom was FAR from being a nerdy wimp. He was handsome in my book. One of the few men in entertainment that was blessed with an everlasting babyface but still looked manly. Of course he'd look wrong opposite that dry, decrepit, bucked-mouth broad that occupies the role of Victoria till this day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted October 31, 2015 Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 BYE, BITCH!!! Becoming, though? As soon as Miller was brought in, the character was DONE. PREACH it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted October 31, 2015 Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 Burgess Meredith is an acting legend but he was just never right for this role. I wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted October 31, 2015 Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 LOL! I guess it doesn't matter at this point who they'll get to replace Jenkins. Billy Abbott is just one of many, many characters that Y&R has ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted October 31, 2015 Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yes he is. Despite his alleged struggles, I think he's cleaned up and remained nice. I am still pissed how AH felt he wasn't good enough to be her leading man. But that's fine. I enjoyed the time DT was on the show and starring opposite a woman more age appropriate anyways--MCE. Chelsea and Billy were WAY hotter than anything Villy has produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted October 31, 2015 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2015 I know that really pissed me off, I stopped seeing Y&R for a few months, but came back with Tognoni was cast. I agree loved MCE with DT, they were great together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
