When Jason Thompson takes over the role of Billy Abbott beginning Wednesday, January 13 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.

With a cryptic message written on a piece of paper gripped tight within her dead cold hands, Courtney Sloan (Kelli Goss) ended her lively run on CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” on Monday, April 6 as close friends, and those that loved her, mourned their loss. Courtney’s murder was just another in a growing line of deadly twists in the Abbott cabin crew storyline. As fiancé Noah Newman (Robert Adamson) tried everything in his power to resuscitate her, the young man was forced to come to grips with the reality that his happy path to wedded bliss had been derailed.
