Members Soapsuds Posted September 15, 2016 Members Share Posted September 15, 2016 I don't care for him as Billy. I preferred him on GH. He is not Billy. Hopefully with SSM on board she will recast him or just write him out. I haven't cared for Billy since David Tom played him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoTheGreat Posted September 15, 2016 Members Share Posted September 15, 2016 The only Billy I know is David Tom. Billy Miller was alright until he hook up with Vikki character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted September 15, 2016 Members Share Posted September 15, 2016 Is this damn affair FINALLY coming out or are we getting yet another red herring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 no red herring. They clearly rushed this because the Ashley/Jack scenes (US Wed) were so awkward. Anyway, I hope this finally put the de-aged Phyllis away from Aunt Jack once and for all. I'm not thrilled with weepy StePhyllis at all, I hope this unleashes scheming Phyllis. No way would she be victim to Jill's threats without producing some type of counterattack. On another note, maybe it's just me, but SB has been so much better the past couple of months on the mission to get Victor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 Young was awesome today. No way Chuck was in the writer's room when these outlines were done. This show has felt like women are in charge of the writing for about three or four weeks. Given that Pratt removed YR from his Facebook bio about 2 months ago. I wonder if the writers were just working from long story document of his. Beldner/Taylor did a superb job with the script. Jack's tag line about "I heard ...." wow. Great soap. GT still rocks the house. She's the new Kim Zimmer but more nuanced. She is the best recast of any major character other than Sharon Gabet on Edge of Night.

Members edgeofnik Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yes, GT has been a spot on recast. Love your SG call-out, but I'd say the all-time gold standard of major character recasts - Jess Walton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RavenWhitney Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 Took a while to get used to JW as Jill; completely different aura than BD. But ultimately a great choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 David Tom did not work as Billy on his return to the show. He came across as too young and too immature. I realize Billy is immature, period, but DT's immaturity just didn't work. Jason Thompson was spectacular today. Recast and replace him? That will not happen.

Members Soapsuds Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 Unless you are the HW or EP you have no clue if its going to happen or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GMac Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 Posted my gush earlier, but agreed. I felt the same way about yesterday's show. Very well done, from production to the writing. Best ep in a long time. I loved David Tom as Billy and it's taken awhile to warm up to JT. His performance yesterday was really good.

Members bluejeanbaby3 Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 I keep thinking how great Billy Miller would be as "Billy" for the past couple of weeks but as far as Philly is concerned, not once have I imagined MS as Phyllis. No. Sad that GT still seems to be so stiff. BTW: Hi everyone! I have not watched very much since Pratt took over and I tried to tune in a few weeks ago and I just could not stand more than about 2 minutes. And it really ticked me off that Y&R had become that way. I've watched and read recaps for the past week or so - ever since I read about Mal Young replacing Phelps. Chuckled when I read Nina Tassler was out at CBS too. I've gotta say though that Victor has been ruined for me to the point that I actually get nauseous whenever EB is on screen. I read all about what he's done since last year. Do I dare hope that insulting the fans where Victor is concerned is over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GMac Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hey blue. Probably still too soon to tell IRT Victor. There was a small glimmer of hope on yesterday's show with his handling of Dylan. That's more than we ever saw under UpChuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluejeanbaby3 Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hi GMac. When I read the recap I thought, oh no here we go again. I hope you are right. I was shocked when they aired the mixup conversation about the paragon virus - when Victor got the timeline and the perp All Wrong. I think he mentioned it again in the last few days...?

Members edgeofnik Posted September 16, 2016 Members Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yes. It was a huge adjustment - especially since JW had played a hooker on Capitol. I recall the first time I saw the character there - and no offense to JW - but my reaction was that ugly woman is a high class hooker? When JW got the role- I was flabbergasted- especially considering that BD oozed sexuality wearing those inappropriate cleavage-showing evening gowns at the office. But JW grew her hair and started to let loose. Ultimately, her acting won me over hands down. I'm so glad she's back on the show in a major way. Since I rarely give him credit, PB was outstanding today. I hope revenge Jack is back and I hope StePhyllis disappears as well. Don't get them back together.
