Y&R's Billy and Victoria's Wedding Planner Revealed And It's … The Price Is Right's Gwendolyn Osborne-Smith!
There is another guest wedding planner coming to The Young and the Restless! The last time Candis Cayne made her daytime soap opera debuts as Stich (Sean Carrigan) and Abby’s (Melissa Ordway) nuptial adviser. But this time, it’s Billy (Jason Thompson) and Victoria’s (Amelia Heinle) turn as they get ready to walk down the aisle again.
According to Y&R and CBS Soaps In Depth, The Price Is Right model, Gwendolyn Osborne-Smith is playing the role of a wedding planner named Evelyn for Villy’s “I do’s”.
Gwendolyn, who is British told SID: “The character is more English than I am — quite proper. But she’s fun and upbeat as well. She’s ready for anything!” The Price is Right model has also been a actress for many years and of course, Y&R is right across the hall from the number one game show, so she didn’t have to go far to film her scenes.
Look for Evelyn to appear in Genoa City on the upcoming February 29th episode. So, what do you think of the casting of Gwendolyn Osborne-Smith playing Billy and Victoria’s wedding planner? And better yet, will these nuptials even take place? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

DAYS Alum Tanner Stine to Appear in ‘Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story’ Starring Nicholas Chavez
Another face familiar to daytime fans has already boarded Ryan Murphy’s limited series, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story which stars General Hospital favorite, Nicholas Chavez (Spencer Cassadine) in the role of Lyle.
Tanner Stine who played Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Steve’s (Stephen Nichols) son, Joey Johnson on Days of our Lives will also appear in the series.
In ‘Monsters’, look for Stine to portray the role of Perry Berman, who was Lyle and Erik’s friend and former tennis coach. In the story, Perry found himself at the epicenter of the murder mystery when he had accepted a phone call from Lyle shortly before the brutal murders of Jose and Kitty Menendez.
Other previously announced castings included: Cooper Koch (who plays Erik), Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny as parents Jose and Kitty Menendez, Nathan Lane as Dominick Dunne, Ari Graynor as Leslie Abramson, and Leslie Grossman as Judalon Smyth.
In the series, the two wealthy brothers stand trial for shooting their parents in Beverly Hills, amid claims of self-defense after years of abuse, while prosecutors alleged that greed was the motives for the killing. Lyle and Erik Menendez have been behind bars in California for more than three decades for the 1989 killing of their parents.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story will debut later in 2024 on Netflix.

More of the Story on ‘General Hospital’ Star Josh Kelly’s Latest Film Role in ‘The Workout’
We had previously shared that General Hospital’s Josh Kelly was taking three weeks away from his role of Cody Bell to a shoot a role in an upcoming movie entitled The Workout.
Josh originally revealed his role in the film during an episode of GH castmates, Steve Burton (Jason) and Bradford Anderson’s (Spinelli) podcast.
Now Deadline has filled in some of the blanks, and shared some intriguing intel on the premise of the film and its back-story. The film stars Kelly along with Peter Jae, and UFC Fighter, Ashlee Evans-Smith. Other cast members include The Bay’s Kristos Andrews.
In The Workout, two army rangers set out to create a workout video, but their plans are abruptly halted when a mob hit interrupts their filming. Tragically, one of the rangers loses his wife in the attack, sending him on a relentless mission to take down the mob and anyone who stands in his way.
The film from James Cullen Bressack, almost did not get financed. Apparently, ten days before his birthday, Bressack made a post on Instagram about the feature and production, casting, and financing came from the post … illustrating the power of social media. After the post gained traction, a producer provided financing and actors expressed interest in joining the project, leading to a quick production.
In a statement, Bressack shared, “As artists a painter paints, a musician makes music, a writer writes, but as filmmakers we have to ask permission to create. It’s time to change that narrative. This film spawned from a necessity to create. We create. We tell stories. We play pretend. I’m excited to take this journey. This is the truest form of collaboration and a community of friends coming together to make something fun. While our industry has had a rough time recently with strikes and a possible strike looming in the future, it’s nice to remind ourselves why we got into film to begin with. To have fun telling stories.”
No word yet on when The Workout will be released.
So, looking forward to seeing this collaborative effort featuring GH’s Josh Kelly? Comment below.

Y&R’s Hayley Erin Previews Her Role in Horror-Thriller ‘New Life’
No. Y&R won’t let them be happy for more than 5 minutes without some trashy story. It’s a real shame too because Amelia and Jason have fantastic chemistry.
I agree! A new Billy, chemistry and he is back home with his kids and they have to poop all over it!
“Thank You” for sharing the news… about my fave couple in Genoa City…
I just couldn’t be more delighted for my Amelia
So this is part of the special and secret things CBS is working on for its viewers…maybe secret not too special to me…
COME ON DOWN!
No, do not do it, Victoria. Billy will hurt you again. The reason your father, Victor, despises Billy, is because he sees himself in him. ……”Round and around and around we go-oh”. Right! For the umpteenth time.
Hi CeeCee,,
seems the soaps are going into having weddings lol
weddings were a very big grandiose happening during their era decades past..
when couples were built up for a very long time, and after their trip to hell and back they had million dollar weddings; those days are gone forever.
This wedding stuff is no big deal to even tun into a look-see..
Weddings are the beginning of love gone wrong drama..
(and I really do not want to watch through their love gone wrong problems to their break up and journey back…. that needs to stay in past, it’s the 21st century and that stuff is not appealing, it is LAME!
I agree, SuzieQ. Weddings on soaps are not the over-the-top affair they used to be. And, I believe the expectations by the viewer are dying, along with that image.
That’s one way of looking at it; but, the redundancy of this couple, as others tying the knot of wedded bliss becomes a farce. It’s offensive to me. How many times can Victoria marry Billy before she realizes that a leopard does not change its spots?
By introducing a new actor in the role of Billy, does not change the character’s persona….the way his brain is wired. The writers have proven this brilliantly by showing how hard it is for Billy to change his ways. No sooner than he walked out of death’s door, he allies himself with Phyllis ( ugh) who, herself, is so out of character, I want to pull out my hair ot and scream at my husband. LOL. Perhaps, if it were still Billy Miller, I could have forgiven him…I know, I make no sense. But, BM is BM and he will always be Billy Abbott to me. As will Michelle Stafford be Phyllis. As far as I am concerned, Gina Tognoni is not doing Phyllis justice. Gina is a great actress, just not in this role, albeit, TPTB are trying to instill some devilishness into the character…it ain’t working for me.
GH is no better…Alexis’s and Julian’s wedding is a travesty…..she’s out of her loop…..out of her dimension. PTTB are not doing Nancy any justice either, by making her act like a mindless schoolgirl instead of an older woman, whose fist thought should be her children and grandchild. Not only that, but, Julian? Again, the story of the leopard and its spots.
Now…..about our fellow poster, Dylan. I think he has assumed wrong, su…that was not nice. I know you are a girl. There are/were certain nuances about your expressions that definitely are very telling that you are, indeed, a girl….
Love you, any old way. SuzieQ. Bye…and, happy Sunday.
Hi Ceec; and su
“… for the umpteenth time.”
shucks… this is one of those couples tho… no matter how .. “round, we go” their journey… is layered.. emotional.. and tugs at the heartstrings
when it’s good… it’s “Oh, so, goooooddddd” Billy Miller and Amelia Heinle… Magic
I did not watch… David Tom or Burgess Jenkins… at least not enough… but, I knew.. it just wasn’t a game set and match… or lights camera action.. for my beloved Victoria
so… to know.. that ITS back on… big hit big show… a REEL is going on… argh! and I’m missing it..
reason I love reading posts
Victoria and Billy “are”
it’s a complete heartwrenching tearjerker angst mode
I hate that … but I relent… that’s shes Victor Newman’s daughter… when so many post… how they do not know… what a good actress .. Amelia truly is… in my standard
LOL
Billy Miller … AND emmy winner Amelia Heinle… twice regalia
deserved… not a block vote…. WON… with .. Billy Miller.. Y&R reigned supreme.. and it would not have worked without my AH
so… to know.. that .. fans are not dissing… Ms. Heinle and Jason Thompson…
woah!
YES…
my girl is front and center
Victoria has a lot of contention… character REEL
a Newman
Victor’ 1st born
involved with an Abbott
has to keep her alliance… ??? Newman vs. Abbott
has wants yearns keeps HER OWN identity
all one has to read or hear.. is Dehlia… and it’s a watershed
the past present and future for this goldmine.. is a treasure treat and telee bonafide
get it girl… grab your spotlight.. with gusto
so earned
I must say… The Abbott supremacy is once again… frontburner
Peter Bergman
Eileen Davidson
Jason Thompson
Beth Maitland
how good is this
my standard
far and away trop draw… “over” the NuMAN
need new Newman
far and away the most versatile.. will always be Victoria… she certainly has taken charge and supplanted the once heralded… threesome
“over” Victor; Nikki; Nicholas
OH, sweet Patrick…with the sweet poetic prose.
I love Amelia/Victoria. I am just not feeling it with Jason Thompson. He is one outrageous actor; I do like him. But, he is not the suave, kill me-sexy guy that gets my unmentionables in a twist, so to speak.
Perhaps, it is the fact that each time I see Victoria come into my line of vision, I see Billy Miller. So, I guess, I have to fake it? HaHa and LOL. Later, you!
I was hoping for Bob Barker!
Gosh would they bring back the missing great actors & stop with all the newbies? Where oh where is Mariah, Tracey Abbott, Lauren & Michael, Fen and Jill? And while we’re at it can we trash this computer security story? It’s a bore at best.
Amen, Nikki!!!!!!!!
PS. I am ready to get Natalie by that whatever knotty-hair-do she concocts and shove her into her computer. Ha!
You said it CeeCee Now we need a wedding planner for someone who has been married 5 times (Ryan McNeil/Cole Howard/J.T.Helstrom/& Billy Abbott twice) how about a marriage counsellor instead? We all know they wont stay together the minute she finds out him & Phyllis are trying to bring down big daddy she’ll dump him as usual and take daddy’s side like she always does. The writers are doing the same thing with Adam & Chelsea . She packs her luggage so often every time he lies or does something she doesn’t like. No wonder her arm’s are a nice 6 pack. If we need a nice Summer wedding how about getting Lauren & Michael to re-new their vows? or lets see Adam & Chelsea have a real wedding.
You are too funny, my friend. 6-pack indeed! Lol.
I think, Nikki, we all realize that soaps visit the world of fantasy, now and again, as it were. But, some kind of sense should be injected into these characters. They’re all lunatics.
I love Victoria; but her idolizations of her father borders on disgust. Victor can do anything despicable, murder even, but, Victoria will always find a reason to excuse her father’s actions; come hail or high water. Nothing will budge her, as nothing will budge Satan to repent walk the path of righteousness. Gee, Nikki….I sound like a preacher. I guess I am in the wrong profession…double LOL.
I wonder if there will still be a Y&R if Victor should die. Later.
Well CeeCee that depends on who you ask. I watched Victor(Eric B.) on a talk show and he’s just as cocky & full of himself as he is on Y & R. So I would say if you asked him if Y & R would survive when & if he died he would probably say it would go under without him but I on the other hand could see the show with Nikki going back to the bottle, Victoria in Fairview and everyone else relaxing & maybe even enjoying life. All kidding aside I think E.B. is a great actor but I wish they would soften him up. Today I watched until he blackmailed Adam again and I felt so sorry for Adam (who just wants his father’s love) I turned it off.
The actor who plays Fen was on “Under the Dome” and he was great! Bring him back and let him dance between Mariah and Kevin! PS: I wish Stitch and Chucky [Max] leaves the country yesterday! I cannot stand Son of a Stitch and NOW there will be a baby [Maybe] with Abs! Ewww!
Oh yes he would be great with Mariah and would Kevin ever be jealous .I was never a big fan of Stitch but I could take or leave him but Max!!! That kid needs help and Stitch being a doctor should see that. I loved Fen & if they would bring someone in to play Scotty that would be great. Could you just see the story. I bet Scotty would resent Fen being with his mother & father from birth while Scotty was sent away. I just get so annoyed that they bring in newbies then if we like them (Dr. Anderson & Det. Mark Harding) they kill them off but if the story line stinks ( computer securty lock) we keep it. And as I said many time before they can keep that Summer. She gives my mute button exercise.
I adore this version of Villy. Just adore. Jason and Amelia have done such a great job making me fall for this pairing again.
Which means, no, they won’t last.
Comments not well considered: Always liked Victoria. She seemed to slow down the silliness. Now, she appears to be almost asleep delivering her lines. Adam too seems to be in the background; not forceful at all. Don’t like the way the computer gig is playing out. Wish Keven and Mariah had time to let us enjoy what they did. Why do I watch? Guess we all have our reasons.
