He was probably just mad that he wasn't involved in faking her death...
Lillian being involved in the bitchiness made her look awful.
Some of the available 1982 episodes have a lot of angst from Hilary, she and Tony are clearly meant to be pulled toward each other as she dates Derek. Derek is insecure about her relationships with Tony and Kelly. On paper this should be compelling, but she has no chemistry with any of them and I just go through Tony scenes in the Marland years wanting someone to kick his ass.
Of any of the men in this group I thought she worked best with Derek.
There's a scene I find offputting where she berates Morgan over not understanding how much Kelly loves her and how noble he is. It's very slanted writing and is part of why that triangle feels dishonest. Two mentally unstable young women are fixated on a man who is about ten years their senior. He already crossed serious lines with Morgan and made her problems worse. Yet he was written as a god.
