Members detroitpiston Posted December 3, 2015 Members Share Posted December 3, 2015 I think he'll be good. The Adam vs Billy feud has been severely hindered by Old Man Billy not being able to match JH's presence in an interesting way. JT is a good leading man and will be able to sell the snark and charm. I can't wait for his scenes with Victor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted December 3, 2015 Members Share Posted December 3, 2015 Happy for him. Just don't see him as Billy however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 Zzzzzz ... big surprise. Does anyone care anymore? Anyone? I guess he's better than Grandpa Billy. I'd like to see Thompson show up for work again. It's been a while. Maybe against Hartley he will. I think they'd play off each other well and Thompson's Billy could be a little bit more formidable and less of a pathetic mess. He wouldn't be a first choice for the role for me but it's time to do something different with Billy and make him a viable character again. Under Pratt, it ain't happening. And will he be stuck with Snoretoria? I mean, Heinle sleepwalks through her scenes. Such a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 I feel bad for JT in all honesty.... Yes he will do good with the scenes, but I would never wish anyone to have to be called "BILLYBOY" 24/7... They sadly won't really include Jill all that much either....since that relationship has been nonexistent since Miller stepped in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 I have always appreciated JT, I think he has almost always shown up, from day one. Putting him in Snortoria's orbit is no worse than KeMo, the living sleepwalker. I'd much rather see him interact with the Abbotts and Jill as he is introduced, and playing against JH will be great.

Members Khan Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 I know I don't! And casting JT, an actor I've never cared for, makes me care even less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 Low-energy and dull - he certainly fits in with most of the actors who have played Billy. Please tell me he won't still have that awful dye job once Frank is no longer his boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 Billy is such a fail character....so much potential was ruined once MAB came on with Miller on board and every regime since has trashed the character more....the "rivarly" with Victor is cartoonish and really shouldn't be a factor anyway.....NONE of the actors who have played Billy never get the best of Braeden during those scenes and when it's Thompson's time to "shine" in those scenes it will be the same result....Braeden "BILLYBOYING" and doing his g*dawful smirk that anyone would punch off his face if they had the brains or balls.......

Members ajsp35801 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 Billy will not continue with Victoria. They seem to have given up on that. If anything he's going to be in a quad with Adam and the mother of his two sons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 He'll be the fourth Billy in two years now and ultimately the fifth adult Billy cast. I don't know much about Thompson as an actor but Billy is indeed such a fail character at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 The only way to make this work is to bring Jill Abbott into Billy's orbit. Give them scenes. Actual scenes that establish the relationship, and keep Jill in his orbit. How the writers fail to realize that she is a tentpole character just goes to show how sloppy everything is.

Members Paul Raven Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 Another recast?? Billy is on his way to joining Jamie Frame and Mike Powers for most recasts. Couldn't Billy just leave town for a while? Is the character that vital? Obviously,the writing and character aren't working,so a break might be for the best And while Billy is away,JT returns...

Members titan1978 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 GH was stupid to not use him as a true lead. I can't blame it all on Robin because Ron and FrNk could have taken that storyline in several different directions, including writing them out together back then. As they floundered around trying to make AJ work, or Todd, or Franco, or new Jason in story after story they were pretty much ignoring him.

Members DRW50 Posted December 4, 2015 Members Share Posted December 4, 2015 I think Frank probably resented him for not being more into Patrick/Sabrina. He tanked that story as best he could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
