What shocking, sad news. I thought he was a talented actor that really didn’t get consistent, strong writing on any show. At times, his Billy captured a little of the essence of Terry Lester’s Jack. And as others have said, he really brought Jason back to life on GH. He had chemistry with everybody. My heart goes out to his loved ones and coworkers.

He passed from complications from a stroke. He was diagnosed in 2020 with Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a progressive neurological disorder which affects walking, balance, and eye movement. Average survival is 6 to 10 years after diagnosis.

So sad, but it is one of those times that we can be thankful that his suffering is over.

He and MCE had such amazing chemistry it's sad they played siblings on AMC cause Annie and Richie could have been hot

Heartbreaking news.  I don’t watch Y&R and had stopped watching GH by the time he got there, but I LOVED him as Richie on AMC.  He had such a dynamic presence.  I think he was, by far, one of the best things about the JHB & BE era.  RIP.

Having trouble with Twitter embeds (can’t bring myself to use the other name), but @l3neee91 posted this goodbye video that Y&R cast and crew made for BM when he left:

I'm shocked. So young. He was an absolutely brilliant actor, certainly one of the bright spots on that era of Y&R. I too had always hoped he'd come back. He definitely played like the younger brother of Terry Lester's Jack. Just electric.

Oh damn, to click into this thread after venturing onto this site for the first time today, what sad news to encounter. It seems as if there is always an ebb tide in regards to news on soap stars over the past several years. Getting hit by a tide of bad news, then seemingly waiting to get hit by the next wave. May he R.I.P.

    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton practically twirling his moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
    • It absolutely was; the narrative was there, and they followed it promptly. Maybe that's back when women had babies at young ages?!?!?

    • Thanks for asking that!  Back when we had another major event upcoming (a party or the concert), I had intended to ask what everyone here was planning to wear.

    • Lol. Right?  I mean the show could have framed the 60th anniversary in a different way, but the narrative was celebrating Tom and the hospital. Also, what a weirdly sexist bunch of posts about women's nail polish.  Like, yes, this is Days problem lol.  Stacy Haiduk isn't a good Kristen because she doesn't wear nail polish?  Are we in the 1950's???
