I want Billy Miller. This is just ridiculous. He seems very kind, and generous and he’s an okay actor but there is one Billy Abbott. Billy Miller.

nope, no one will work except Billy Miller.

Welcome Burgess!

I think he’ll do great and I hope people will give him a chance to settle in and make it his own.

David Tom shouldnt have been replaced…this nuBilly ill wait and see…i havent watched as much as others because i just never really connected to this show but i still tune in on occasion

Burgess’ is better than DT..
but he is nowhere near being a Billy Miller..

there can be only one Billy Abbott and that is Billy Miller
Billy Miller owns the trademark on Billy Abbott …

((without BM, they should not have attempted to recast ..

I watch every day and CAN NOT stand this guyas Billy Abbott. You need to find some else or bring back Billy Miller, Billy Miller is worth any dollaramount he wamts, as obliviously he CAN NOT be REPLACED.

I have only watched one day but I thought he did a great job slipping in there. He seemed like he did understand the character. chemistry with AH was better than it was with David Tom – although DT had really good chemistry with MCE (chelsea). I liked Billy Miller. I liked David Tom. I was anti DT being let go.. so I had every reason not to be very open minded with BJ.. but I decided to be and he pleasantly surprised me. Lets see where this goes. I know one thing – we have had way too much… Read more »

I like him so far! In terms of the tole, I think he’s better than David Tom was, but that’s not to say DT is a bad actor; he’s not. I just don’t think he fit into the role like he did when he was previously on the show anymore. Billy has changed so much since then, but it didn’t seem like DT had. So, welcome Burgess Jenkins!

Billy Miller left the show of his own accord. He will not be coming back. His fans need to get over it. No one is irreplaceable. Stop criticizing David Tom and now Burgess Jenkins. David would have done well if he had been given good material to work with and if they had kept him away from Amelia Heilne who has chemistry with no one, not even her own husband who played J T Helstrom. David Tom did very well with every other actor/actress on the show. Burgess Jenkins seems to fit right in and looks as if he could… Read more »

I think he is nice to look at, but it’s gonna take some time to adjust.

I saw NuBilly on today’s show (6/25) and he was pretty good – it’s still a wait & see period with me…

David Tom was not a good fit for the adult Billy Abbott – still sounds like a whiny teenager.

I am surprised that many of the comments have expressed longing for Billy Miller. Sure, he was good but he was replaceable and he was beautifully replaced by David Tom. I accepted Miller’s departure, thought he had been phoning it in for the last couple of months anyway. David Tom found his stride and I was really seeing him as Billy Abbott–he came off cheerful, slightly tormented, mischievous and loving–all the attributes we have come to expect from Billy Abbott. It was a HUGE mistake to dismiss David Tom. This new actor is perfectly fine and I wish him all… Read more »

Burgess is ok so far. Who was the genius that let David Tom go? He was spot on with Billy’s personality. He had the passion and fire that Billy Miller had when he had the role of Billy Abbott. David Tom was awesome.

Really ? Billy and Amelia have the most outstanding chemistry of any couple on daytime t v in a long time. Other than Nikkei and Victor. Please pay these actors their worth. We need all our soaps back. Young and Restless needs to keep the fantastic actors and actresses it has. THAT uswhat makes it

I like this new Billy, I like that he is close to the age for his part. I am willing to give him a chance.

I’ll give him a chance.

No questions about his on-screen MOTHER, Jill?

Wouldn’t Jess Walton be one of his co-stars?

You forgot to ask about her when interviewing the writers too? I take it your’re not a Jess Walton or Jill fan?????????

I like you a lot better than the Tom actor!!!!

Recasts are part of daytime drama. I miss actors in their roles, too. And Billy Miller — who I adore — was himself a recast. That’s how it goes. today’s daytime drama world seems so crazy… lower budgets, faster productions schedules, so many online spoilers and reports… the fact the character stays and the story goes on is a plus for fans of the genre and this show.

David Tom was not the right choice the first time or the second time he got the chance to play Billy Abbott. This new guy looks as if he could be Peter’s Bergman’s brother, which is something I suppose. I wish this Burgess guy luck, he is going to need it.

First off. Billy Miller is the only Billy Abbott for this girl. But I’m aware that there is nothing I can do about it. So we move along to Burgess I think he seems like a nice guy his acting is better than DT so that’s a good start but where is the charisma???? The Billy Abbott I know can charm a women into bed with just a glance. As he should be able to do since He’s the baby boy of a very wealthy family. He should have a playboy esq. demeanor, handsome & charming! The biggest mistake they’ve… Read more »

Love him.. What a difference between
him and David Tom..

Love him. He’s gonna b a great Billy.

He is a pro. Knows the right things to say. Time will tell.

WHEN are u fans going to get it? There IS NO bringing back Bilky Miller. He was offered the role back replacing David Tom and HE SAiD NO!!!!!!!!!!!! He doesnt want to and isnt coming back.

I don’t leave remarks on these issue’s, but wanted to on this subject. I really liked Billy Miller, he had the personality of Billy Abbott nailed. David Tom was a terrific actor, I was getting used to him but my adjustment with him as Billy took awhile because he seemed so young. Burgess Jenkins has been good for the two days I have seen him, but he seems older than Billy Miller and David Tom. The fluctuating age differences is boggling to me. That’s where the adjustment comes in, for me anyway. I’m sure, as time passes, all adjustments will… Read more »

I like the old Billy much better.

as long as they don’t hook him up with CHELSEA AND KEEP HIM AWAY FROM CONNOR.I’M FINE ,HES BETTER THEN DT,

He’s not Billy Miller, but I like this guy! Hope he can do the job………

“The chemistry is wonderful” Excuse me??

I do not like this new Billy..I don’t think he can act, I have been watching Y & R from day one, and am seriously considering quitting the show. I hate it when they replace the actors, usually I can deal with it, but this guy I CANNOT!!.. don’t know why, I loved Billy Miller, and David Tom. just my opinion

David Tom was not given enough time to resettle back into his former role as Billy Abbott. I will always remember David Tom’s Billy and he is the original Billy, too. I don’t get the excuse that DT’s Billy was too young looking and the reason he was replaced. The character Billy Abbott is suppose to be younger than the fortyish Victoria. Billy Abbott not only was younger than Victoria, bue he always been immature in his behavior, too, and tended to act before thinking all his life. I think it is ironic that there was a lot of complaints… Read more »

I myself will give him a chance to get comfy as Billy Abbot. It will be a hard sell after Billy Miller, but I will give him a chance it will just time for him to get into the part. Just remember Billy had this personality that had a personality that no one really liked it it made him into who he is today. Welcome to the Young and the Restless show us what you can do as Billy please.

I agree with the majority. Billy Miller IS Billy Abbott. Nobody can replace him. I feel bad for DT but he just didn’t cut it. I guess we have no choice but to give Burgess a chance. I have only seen two episodes with him. But Billy Miller is really missed. Bring him back PLEASE!!!!

If Billy MILLER wanted to leave, we must let him go. That’s his choice. I miss him too, but all of these cast changes are making me dizzy. Does anyone else feel like a very BIG reason Y&R won best soap this year was because Michael MUHNEY was so AMAZING every single day??!! As much as I miss MILLER, I miss MUHNEY 500 times more. It also pained me to watch Hunter King take home the trophy at the expense of MUHNEY. I’m ready to pull the plug on Y&R after 38 years of watching.

O shoot, I well just beginning to really like the chemistry between Tom’ s Billy and MCE’s Chelsea– and now that is blown out of the water— you can replace actors but you cannot replace chemistry, no matter how hard they try. And I was looking forward to a romance between Billy and Chelsea, because of their chemistry. Now I will have to wait and see if this new guy chemistry with MCE is as good as Tom’s as to whether or not I am going to enjoy this story of Billy and Chelsea hooking up— which all but certain,… Read more »

WE WANT BILLY MILLER BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT SUPPORTING ANY OTHER !!!!!! the chemistry is completely off still.

Truthfully, I don’t like him. I didn’t care much for David Tom taking Billy’s roll. But, I could live with it better than Burgess Jenkins. No one can replace Billy Miller. He was the best! This guy’s looks just aren’t there. And the way he acts aint much better. I’ve been watching Y&R for 35 years now. I’m faithful in watching everyday. But this year was horrible. So many actors leaving. I cried when Phylis was gone. And Michael Muney, he was a lot of the show. And I pray that he comes back. Please slow down on so many… Read more »

Some characters can not be replaced.. Some characters can not be replaced.. Billy Abbott and Billy Miller is NOT replaceable.. There are times when the great ones leave a soap to let the character die, be gone.. It is going to be much worse with the attempt to replace Michael M as Adam it will horribly fail.. Adman and MM are one, and Adam should have remained dead.. Billy Abbott, Billy Miller’s owned character died the day BM walked off the Y&R set.. It will all explode when a new Adam appears.. I see it coming from witnessing the attempt… Read more »

Am very disappointed Billy Miller is no longer Billy Abbott. Just saw Burgess for the 1st time on Tuesay’s show so I don’t believe that is enough viewing to determine whether I like him as Billy Abbott or dislike him in the role. I thought Billy Miller did a fantastic job in the role. Maybe Burgess will, too. Viewers, lets give him a fair chance!

I couldn’t stand David Tom with his mumbling & hanging bottom mouth. So glad he finally got replaced!! The new Billy is a relief as far as I’m concerned. Love Y&R

NO, no, no, no, no ! ! !

I enjoy Burgess in the role, though, I would prefer to have David Tom still in the role. My only gripe is that he appears to be too old physically and look-wise to be Billy Abbott. That is my only gripe, but I’m very happy he’s joined the series.

Y&R casting dept. scores another DUD. Even John Paul Lavosier would have been a better Billy.

Ummmm, David Tom is the original Billy Abbott. Billy Miller was a suitable recast, but the latecomers and history revisionists need to realize that for each of you, there is going to be one of me. I don’t want to be antagonistic, but I blame the vocal minority of Billy Miller groupies for David Tom’s ouster. I won’t speak for him, but from my 40 years of watching and following Y&R, I don’t believe Bill Bell let vocal fan groups influence his decision making. Now, we have this unknown recast, and we all lose. I’m sure he’s a fine person,… Read more »

I hope we can adjust to Burgess…but my goodness I don’t think he can act at all. The other actors seem to just crush him with their acting skills. I agree that Billy Miller is missed, Adam is missed, Phyllis is missed, the old Abby is missed, and on and on. Can you tell I don’t like change ? lol

Billy Miller did an outstanding job as Billy Abbot, but I do agree that he chose to walk away from the role. He was replaced by David Tom who did play the role of Billy A. previously, and he was doing a great job. The new Billy definitely does not look or sound like either David Tom or Billy Miller. He is a very good actor, but I’m remaining openly indifferent. Its very hard to see so many changes to great actors in lead roles. But I do wish Burgess well, and hope he embraces the role & makes it… Read more »

Billy is no longer an important character. Want to rock things??? Let’s bring Adam back (using the actor who was portraying him when the accident happened.

I am one that is glad that they took David Tom out as Billy…he was okay as a teenage Billy, but he just didn’t have what it took to play Billy Abbott as an adult. I LOVE Billy Miller, and he will always be Billy Abbott to me, but this new guy Burgess seems to be pretty good, and looks more the role of Billy Abbott. He looks age appropriate and a little more like he could play the bad boy role. I hope they bring back the old Adam though as they have lost Phillis and don’t think they… Read more »

Seeing him for the first time yesterday, I thought, I don’t like him. But Billy Miller isn’t coming back so I’m going to have to try to adjust. It’s going to be hard though.
