[Darn]

We've known this for seemingly months??? But Jason Thompson is officially joining Y&R as Billy Abbott, blah blah blah

I'm expecting the new Billy vs Adam rivalry to be center of the show.

Now if they'd only recast Victoria and bring in a capable actress to play her....

Poor JT to go from whisper monotone KeMo to AH from bad to even worse

[Darn]

Looking at JT and roided out Billy Miller, can anyone imagine them playing the same role? It's weird.

[NothinButAttitude]

I can at least believe that JT is Jill's child (in looks). I couldn't with Grandpa Billy and Toothy Miller. 

 

I still wish a sane person was at Y&R where they could just bring back David Tom.

LMAO. Seriously. Immense downgrade. AH ruins everyone and everything.

Very true. At least all the Billy actors were blonde/fair. Dark/skinny JT is certainly not Billy Abbott (unless he plans to dye his hair. But a star like him wouldn't, would he?  )

LOL Billy at GH as Jason and Jason to YR as Billy

 

At least Billy will no longer look older than Ashley & Jack lol

[Mr. Vixen]

Yesss baby daddy!!

No need to dye his hair. JH didn't to play DARK haired Adam lol

Y&R is not genius these days but at least they'll write for him. He's very talented and I'm happy for him.

 

I can't imagine him having to move mountains with Amelia Heinle, though. That's not going to work, at all. End it. She and TPTB can't blame low-hanging fruit like Tom or Reverend Kane this time.

Well maybe this casting will result in something good. Jill won't push her friends out at all. Hopefully, she'll wanna rally to get rid of Heinle or the character Victoria altogether.

I don't get it

[Darn]

I caught some of her "work" today and man oh man is she bad. She hasn't improved an ounce in 10 years and not that this should matter but it so does, she looks TERRIBLE. What is with that stupid ponytail? You look ridiculous.

 

In fact, I don't know if it was the HD or what but all of the actors looked pretty busted and Y&R used to be known for glamour. Sharon Case, god love her, looked like a sweaty, bloated orange mess. And Steve Burton is all neck. And Justin Hartley just looks tired. And bored. And sick of being on a soap opera. Well, at least Melody Thomas Scott looked terrific.
