Awww SMG!

He and Liz Hendrickson must have dated. She sounds absolutely devastated.

If the quote from his manager is true, saying he suffered from manic depression.... wow. I feel like that energy sometimes came through in his performance as Billy Abbott, a character struggling with self-esteem issues which were medicated with alcohol. I feel so sad that Miller's own struggle with depression ended abruptly and so young.

I think we can imagine, given his own significant struggles. Just devastating all around.

I wonder if Billy Miller was ever on MB's State of Mind podcast. TBH I've always appreciated the actors telling their stories and journeys on that podcast.

Ah man, this is sad. Rest. In. peace King Billy Miller. Incredible actor who will be immensely missed.

Like @Cat I sometimes noticed the manic energy in his performance as Billy on Y&R. Life imitating art. He was way too young to go. I hope he found the peace that eluded him. 

This year has been truly awful for the daytime community: Jackie Zeman, Andrea Evans, and now Billy Miller.

Absolutely heartbreaking news.    

When he joined Y&R, he was like a bolt of lightning across a sometimes desolate landscape.  So much infectious energy and mischief infused into each of his scenes.  (And yes, occasionally his energy level seemed almost manic, and now perhaps we can appreciate and understand why.)  

He was much admired by many longtime fans of the show; we've seen a plethora of Billys, but never anything like Billy Miller!  Also appreciated by his colleagues, as evidenced by his phenomenal three Emmy wins in six short years. 

A tremendously talented man, gone way too soon. 

As Horatio says, "Now cracks a noble heart.  Good night, sweet prince, and flights of Angels sing thee to thy rest."

    • 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???
