4 Things That Need to Happen for Jason Thompson’s Billy to be a Success on ‘Y&R’
OBSERVATIONS
It’s out with the old and in with the new on January 13, when Jason Thompson debuts as Billy Abbott on “The Young and the Restless.” Thompson replaces Burgess Jenkins, who joined the soap in June 2014 replacing David Tom. But let’s face it, he’ll be judged by whether or not he measures up to Billy Miller‘s portrayal of the popular character.
In order the Thompson’s version of Billy to be a success and “Y&R” fans to accept him, 4 things need to happen.
Forever “Villy”
The chemistry between Amelia Heinle (Victoria) and Billy Miller was off the charts and reproducing it is nearly impossible. Despite their best efforts, Tom and Jenkins never came close. Thompson, however, has a major edge. He’s already been part of a daytime supercouple with Kimberly McCullough (ex-Robin) on “GH.” He knows the drill and the intricacies that go into creating one. Of course, he’ll also have to connect strongly with Heinle and that remains the intangible, if their Victoria and Billy is going to work.
Family Ties
As one of Genoa City’s core families, the Abbotts are a mix of high profile characters with intricate relationships. First and foremost, Thompson’s Billy will have to connect with Peter Bergman‘s Jack, the big brother he’s always looking up to and whose approval is paramount to him. He’ll also have to tap into Billy’s vulnerable side with Eileen Davidson‘s Ashley, the one sibling who’s always been able to reach him, even in his darkest hours. Lastly, there’s that all important bond he’ll need to master with Jess Walton‘s Jill as he navigates their push-pull dynamic. Their unconventional mother/son attachment is one of daytime’s most unique and intriguing.
Shaking Dr. Drake
A big part of Thompson’s success will be depend on whether or not daytime fans can accept him as someone other than GH neurosurgeon Patrick Drake. He played the part for a decade and, in many ways, became synonymous with him. Heck, just seeing Thompson out of a lab coat and into a suit on a daily basis is going to be odd. Fortunately, Thompson is a consummate actor. He earned five daytime Emmy nominations during his tenure in Port Charles — three as Outstanding Lead Actor and two as Outstanding Supporting Actor. So if anyone can master the switch – even one as radical as transforming from a serious super doc to a lovable screwup – it’s Thompson.
Vitriol and Victor
The only thing as important as the rapport Billy shares with the people who know and love him in Genoa City, is the animosity between him and Eric Braeden‘s Victor. Their vitriolic relationship is like none other in soaps. There’s an undercurrent in every scene between them – Victor forever hating Billy for the love spell he’s cast upon his daughter Victoria, and Billy forever loathing Victor for his condescending arrogance. It will be crucial that Thompson keep that undercurrent alive any time the two characters cross paths, because it is a pivotal part of who Billy is.

‘Y&R’s’ Valentine’s Day: Hot Hookups, a Proposal and a Stunning Pregnancy
“The Young and the Restless” celebrates Valentine’s Day, this week, with hot hookups, a proposal and a stunning pregnancy.
The hookup portion of the holiday includes the usual suspects. Cane (Daniel Goddard) and Lily (Christel Khalil) rendezvous in a room upstairs at the Genoa City Athletic Club. “I’ve got you all to myself,” says Cane, as he pulls Lily into a kiss and then leads her onto the bed.
Meanwhile, the long estranged Devon (Bryton James) and Hilary (Mishael Morgan) finally straighten things out between the two of them and share a champagne toast. One thing leads to another and before long they’re kissing and undressing each other.
Billy (Jason Thompson) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) meet at the Top of the Tower for a romantic dinner. Billy, however, has more than a delectable meal on his mind. He ends up getting down on one knee and proposing to his on-again/off-again ex. “Will you marry me, again,” he asks tenderly.
The Newman Offices provide the backdrop and desktop for Adam (Justin Hartley) and Chelsea’s (Melissa Claire Egan) Valentine’s Day fun, when Chelsea surprises her husband at work wearing red lace lingerie. “Not another word,” she coos to a dumbfounded Adam. Then, with a rose in her outstretched hand she tells Adam, “You may proceed.” And he does, carrying her onto to the desk.
Romance isn’t the biggest part of “Y&R’s” week. That scene happens in a hospital. Ashley (Eileen Davidson) is the patient, sitting up in her bed, while Dr. Neville (Michael Knight) stands at the foot of it. “I’m pregnant,” announces Ashley. Color Dr. Neville as stunned as the audience will likely be.
As viewers know, Ashley has only been with one man in the last few months, Ben (Sean Carrigan). And he just married her daughter, Abby (Melissa Ordway). It looks like things are about to get very complicated for the newlyweds.

‘The Price Is Right’ Model to Play Wedding Planner on ‘Y&R’
Every wedding needs a planner, even if it is a couple’s fourth time saying, “I Do.” So the newly engaged Billy (Jason Thompson) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) hire one to coordinate their next trip down the aisle on “The Young and the Restless,” and she’s being played by “The Price Is Right” model Gwendolyn Osborne-Smith.
“Feb 29th on @YRInsider I’m Evelyn-the Wedding planner! Acting with these cuties! Will Victoria and Billy Marry?” Osborne-Smith shared on Twitter, along with pictures of the bride and groom.
Osborne-Smith didn’t have to travel far for her new job, since “Y&R” and “The Price Is Right” shoot just across the hall from each other at CBS Television City in Hollywood. Nor was she nervous about the gig, since she has acted before. Osborne-Smith was a series regular in “Ocean Ave.” from 2002 to 2003 and appeared in “Basketball Wife” in 2013. Plus, she currently stars in the reality series “Meet the Smiths” with her husband, retired NBA player Kenny Smith, and their family. The show airs Fridays on TBS.
Look for Osborne-Smith to appear on “Y&R’s” Monday, February 29 episode as the very British Evelyn. She’ll share scenes with Heinle and Thompson.
The story was first reported by Soaps in Depth.

CBS Daytime is celebrating Thanksgiving early with a buffet of holiday-themed episodes of all of its daytime shows, including “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” which will air on Wednesday, November 26.
The Forresters, Logans and Spencers join together on “B&B” for a Thanksgiving feast complete with food, forgiveness and gratitude — a bit of a holiday theme for the sudser’s characters as of late. Pam (Alley Mills) and Charlie (Dick Christie) prepare the perfect meal for the group, and as everyone settles in, Hope (Kim Matula) announces that they will be continuing the tradition of putting their conflict aside and saying something kind to the person next to them — whether friends, enemies or somewhere in between. But not all goes smoothly, because it’s clear that two characters are having a hard time keeping their undeniable feelings for one another under wraps!
Meanwhile, on “Y&R,” Victor (Eric Braeden) and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) host Thanksgiving dinner for friends, family and a few unexpected guests at the Newman Ranch. Other members of the Newman family are at an important crossroads as Nicholas (Joshua Morrow) finds himself in a life-altering predicament, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) decides to find out who her baby’s father is and Adam (Justin Hartley) prepares to reclaim his life under a new identity. Across town, Jack (Peter Bergman) and his fiancée, Phyllis (Gina Tognoni), spend Thanksgiving making up for lost time after she spent the last year in a coma. But will Phyllis get the happy ending she’s been waiting for?
Also airing on Wednesday, November 26 are special episodes of “Let’s Make a Deal,” “The Price Is Right,” and “The Talk.” “LMAD” will feature traders dressed as turkeys, pilgrims and pumpkins, as well as themed games and giveaways. Games will feature a 3-Turkey Deal for big cash, a trading game including a Turkey Hotline and a giant pumpkin pie. Host Wayne Brady does his best turkey impression, and the pumpkin pie becomes the center of attention for the hungry cast. Plus, the entire studio audience will receive a family heirloom cookbook project with which they can design, create and publish their own cookbook with family holiday recipes that they can hand down to future generations.
“TPIS” celebrates Turkey Day with themed games and prizes, including a home gym to work off the tasty treats, a new dining room to celebrate in, and a platinum china set for serving the holiday feast to your guests.

4 Things That Need to Happen for Jason Thompson’s Billy to be a Success on ‘Y&R’

‘Y&R’s’ Valentine’s Day: Hot Hookups, a Proposal and a Stunning Pregnancy
“The Young and the Restless” celebrates Valentine’s Day, this week, with hot hookups, a proposal and a stunning pregnancy.
The hookup portion of the holiday includes the usual suspects. Cane (Daniel Goddard) and Lily (Christel Khalil) rendezvous in a room upstairs at the Genoa City Athletic Club. “I’ve got you all to myself,” says Cane, as he pulls Lily into a kiss and then leads her onto the bed.
Meanwhile, the long estranged Devon (Bryton James) and Hilary (Mishael Morgan) finally straighten things out between the two of them and share a champagne toast. One thing leads to another and before long they’re kissing and undressing each other.
Billy (Jason Thompson) and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) meet at the Top of the Tower for a romantic dinner. Billy, however, has more than a delectable meal on his mind. He ends up getting down on one knee and proposing to his on-again/off-again ex. “Will you marry me, again,” he asks tenderly.
The Newman Offices provide the backdrop and desktop for Adam (Justin Hartley) and Chelsea’s (Melissa Claire Egan) Valentine’s Day fun, when Chelsea surprises her husband at work wearing red lace lingerie. “Not another word,” she coos to a dumbfounded Adam. Then, with a rose in her outstretched hand she tells Adam, “You may proceed.” And he does, carrying her onto to the desk.
Romance isn’t the biggest part of “Y&R’s” week. That scene happens in a hospital. Ashley (Eileen Davidson) is the patient, sitting up in her bed, while Dr. Neville (Michael Knight) stands at the foot of it. “I’m pregnant,” announces Ashley. Color Dr. Neville as stunned as the audience will likely be.
As viewers know, Ashley has only been with one man in the last few months, Ben (Sean Carrigan). And he just married her daughter, Abby (Melissa Ordway). It looks like things are about to get very complicated for the newlyweds.
