On Saturday, Jenkins posted a beautiful picture on his Twitter account of himself along with Ashlee, and a tweet that read: “6 mos ago w grace, faith, humor & unending strength she put the gloves on & fought. Today she’s cancer free #warrior”

I SO HAPPY FOR YOU I HATE THAT YOU LEFT BUT I AM GLAD FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BUT I MISS YOU ON THE SHOW
I am so happy to hear this news. Makes me happy when any one can beat this horrible disease. It does take a log of fight and determination to come out on top of it.
Wish you were coming back as Billy Abbott, the new Billy is not you.
Happy news!
So glad for you both! Cancer is a tough opponent, glad Ashlee beat it!
Prayers for your wife burgess. Wish you.d come back to Y&R miss you.
Awesome news for them !
Great news! And it’s awesome to see his former Y&R co-stars congratulating them in the Twitter post listed on here, the actors that play Adam, Kevin, Abby, ex-Avery, etc.
Excellent news! A man with priorities.
I would like to see him come to DOOL as Mike Horton.
Great News! Hope to see him on the soaps again soon!
WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!!!!!!!
Hi – So glad to hear news. Miss you as Billy. You worked into the perfect Billy. Hope you will be able to return.
so so happy for her, God Bless
Honorable choice
So very happy for your wife. She is a brave woman who has been through so very much. I know this because my 29 yr old daughter has breast cancer and just had her 5th of 6 chemo treatments. People could never realize what your wife has experienced these past months, such as the many side effects, and the days after treatment.How great a guy you have been to stay by her side. Please know that you are missed on Y&R! Best wishes for the future to you and your lovely wife!
This is wonderful news. Now, I never thought I’d say this since I was heartbroken when Billy Miller left, but any chance Burgess could return and we can forget this new incarnation of Billy Abbott ever existed? Maybe he could bring a team of interior decorators with him and restore the Chancellor mansion at the same time. Oh, dare to dream.
great news so happy for you both we miss you on R/R hope to see you back soon
THIS IS TERRIFIC NEWS!!!!! I WISH THE ENTIRE FAMILY NOTHING BUT GOOD NEWS FROM HERE ON OUT…AND JENKINS IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST..NOT ONLY AS BILLY….BUT TO PUT HIS WIFE AHEAD OF HIS CAREER….A REAL MAN….
I’m so happy for you both. Take time to share each others happiness. Life is too short to waste on those that try to get you involved in their problems. Take care and God Bless.
That is amazing news! Congratulations!
I miss Billy on Y&R. Every time I see faux Billy I think “what’s Dr. Drake doing in GC???”
So happy to hear the good news bless you both
I m so glad to hear this great news for your family! God willing, may u stay cancer free!
