Last week on CBS' "The Young and the Restless," actor <strong>Jason Thompson</strong> (ex-Patrick Drake, "General Hospital") made his debut as Billy Abbott. Are you watching?
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.
When <strong>Jason Thompson</strong> takes over the role of Billy Abbott beginning <strong>Wednesday, January 13</strong> on CBS' "The Young and the Restless," it'll be during an emotional time for the character as his doctors conclude he has a slim chance of survival shortly after not just one, but two misadventures that have left him in a coma and possibly paralyzed.
When news of <strong>Jason Thompson</strong>'s decision to leave ABC's "General Hospital" after a decade first came to light, timed around the announcement of <strong>Burgess Jenkins</strong> being out as the third Billy Abbott in two years at CBS' "The Young and the Restless," <a href="https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2015/11/jason-thompson-tapes-final-scenes-at-general-hospital" target="_blank">rumors ran rampant</a> that "GH's" loss would ultimately become "Y&R's" gain and that is now proven true. Thompson will officially join the "Y&R" cast on screen beginning in <strong>January 2016</strong>.
On <strong>Monday, December 1</strong>, the moment of truth arrives for Victoria Newman (<strong>Amelia Heinle</strong>), Stitch Rayburn (<strong>Sean Carrigan</strong>) and Billy Abbott (<strong>Burgess Jenkins</strong>) on CBS' "The Young and the Restless" as the trio finally learns who the father of Victoria's baby truly is. In a promo highlighting Monday's episode, Victoria tells her newborn baby girl, Katie, "It's time to find out who you're going to be calling daddy..."
After months (and months and months) of anticipation, the moment soap fans have been waiting for has finally happened: “The Young and the Restless’” Adam Newman has returned to the canvas with the official reveal of <strong>Justin Hartley</strong> in the role!
The newest cast members of “The Young and the Restless” <strong>Scott Elrod</strong> (Joe Clark), <strong>Justin Hartley</strong> (Adam Newman), <strong>Burgess Jenkins</strong> (Billy Abbott) and <strong>Gina Tognoni</strong> (Phyllis Summers) joined co-hosts <strong>Sheryl Underwood, Sara Gilbert, Sharon Osbourne, Aisha Tyler </strong>and<strong> Julie Chen</strong>, along with guest co-host<strong> Pat Harvey,</strong> on today's edition of CBS' "The Talk" as the actors discussed some of the exciting new storylines in store for their characters and much more!
With a slew of soap weddings under her belt, a run at playing “crazy” and nearly a decade of daytime experience between “The Young and the Restless” and “All My Children,” a back-from-the-dead storyline is no big thang for “Y&R’s” <strong>Melissa Claire Egan </strong>(Chelsea Lawson). Except for when the back-from-the-dead character happens to be her alter ego’s kid-killing husband, and that same guy’s real-life recast happens to be one of the most talked about soap events of the year! So just how is Egan taking in all of the madness surrounding Adam’s big return from the “dead,” including the fact that the character is now being played by <strong>Justin Hartley</strong>? <em>Soap Opera Network</em> caught up with the actress to find out!
Now that “The Young and the Restless’” newest castmember, <strong>Justin Hartley</strong>, has been given the all-clear to start commenting on taking over the role of Adam Newman, he’s letting ‘er rip! First, he spoke about <a title="Justin Hartley Finally Speaks Up About Taking Over the Role of ‘Y&R’s’ Adam!" href="https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2014/10/justin-hartley-finally-speaks-taking-role-yrs-adam" target="_blank">filling the shoes of previous portrayer</a> <strong>Michael Muhney</strong>, and now he’s spilling details about Adam’s return to Genoa City, stating: “There’s damage control to be done!”
On <strong>Friday, October 24</strong>, "The Young and the Restless'" newest stars, <strong>Scott Elrod</strong> (Joe Clark), <strong>Justin Hartley</strong> (Adam Newman), <strong>Burgess Jenkins</strong> (Billy Abbott) and <strong>Gina Tognoni</strong> (Phyllis Summers), will be appearing on CBS' "The Talk" to discuss their joining daytime's most watched drama series. The actors are expected to provide some insight into their characters and what life has been like since entering Genoa City.
With <strong>Elizabeth Hendrickson</strong> <a href="https://www.soapoperanetwork.com/2014/10/welcome-back-yr-elizabeth-hendrickson-video">returning</a> as Chloe Mitchell on today's episode of "The Young and the Restless" in remembrance of the one year anniversary of the death of her daughter, Delia Abbott, it's only appropriate that the stars from daytime's most watched drama series take part in a live tweet during the show to talk about the emotional scenes they filmed and what the storyline has meant for them overall. Hendrickson, <strong>Burgess Jenkins</strong> (Billy Abbott), <strong>Melissa Claire Egan</strong> (Chelsea Newman) and <strong>Greg Rikaart</strong> (Kevin Fisher) plan to do just that!
