Next Week On Y&R: Phyllis and Billy Can't Resist Temptation! Are They About To Commit The Ultimate Betrayal?
Courtesy/CBS
The heat is going to be turned up a notch, in fact, it’s going to be turned up quite a bit!
Next week on The Young and the Restless, look for Billy (Jason Thompson) and Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) to finally give in to tempatation as their feelings for each other continue to bubble, err boil to the surface! Things got off to a rocky, but sexually intense start, when on Friday’s episode of the CBS sudser, Phyllis comes to see Billy telling him that he is going to far to stick to Jack (Peter Bergman) and causing problems for her marriage. A confident Billy knows that Phyllis seems compelled to come by and see him, and when he goads her she slaps him. Phyllis then seems rattled at the sight of another woman inside Billy’s home.
But next week in the just released Y&R promo from CBS Daytime, Jack looks to be clearly on to the steamy relationship brewing between his brother and his wife, while an undressed Phyllis and a shirtless Billy look to have just done something they shouldn’t have, or should they have?
In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Jason Thompson previews that after Phyllis suggests that they step away from each other, and that she will focus on Pass Key, while he concentrates on Brash and Sassy: “Billy is like, ‘Well if you don’t want to be here, then why do you keep coming back?’ I think Billy is also a little confused by what’s happening wiht them. Life’s been turned upside down for him, and he’s grasping at feelings and trying to hold on to something that feels real.”
So, what will happen when Billy and Phyllis can’t resist each other any longer? We will find out, but for now watch the promo for next week and the scene from Friday’s Y&R after the jump. Then let us know if you think Billy and Phyllis are one hot duo, if you hope they end up together in the long run, or if you hope Jack finds a way to keep them apart and seeks revenge on them for their duplicity!

0ooohhh my !
I saw that coming from 100 miles away..
anyways; I’M SHOCKED! whoda thunk, huh ?
Not shocked, bring it ON!!!
I cannot wait. I hate phack with a passion and anything that can break them up is A OK with me,
I Loved the Chemistry , bring a New Relationship out of this , Jack & Victoria are old school need the new
Wow, this storyline, is about to heat up. I love Billy and Phyllis, they have great chemistry together.
They’re nasty and truly awful to Jack. I feel so bad for him. Billy and Victoria will I’m sure end up back in each other’s arms at the end of the day but Amelia Heinle and new guy Travis played by Michael Roark are working some serious chemistry.
Creepy, insidious and incestuous. Listen, I can forgive a couple for giving into temptation when the circumstances dictate as much. But time after time Phyllis shows up at Billy’s house—even after the two kisses. She puts herself in this situation and he readily complies.
WHY does she keep showing up at Billy’s place? I love Gina as Phyllis but she is starting to remind me of why I hated Stafford’s Phyllis. This is so old Phyllis.
Incestuous? You apparently don’t know what incest means.
No kidding. Phyllis is one of the only characters left that has not done the brother thing.. So I am ok with this.. totally ok.. Phyllis and Billy are HOT
I knew it was coming and it sucks! Jack won’t have to do anything, because they will destroy themselves and their oh so important companies.
Yep, totally agree.
when i first learned that jason thompson was going to y&r as billy miller i suspected that tptb/writers were going to hook billy & phyllis up together……………………..wow
Yes! More of this please. Good old fashioned soapy goodness involving talented actors and core characters. What’s not to like?
Well, that’s true. And the two actors do have chemistry.
No chemistry for me. The writers pushed them together without any background supporting the feelings. The new Billy arrived presenting an entirely different look and approach in the crux of a story.
There is nothing subtle which draws empathy. The recent Billly/Phyllis looks and touches seemed so staged.
Yea, another incestuous type things. Wish it didn’t happen.
One relationship which has an appropriate history is Kevin and Mariah. Let it go slowly. People will like it. Let it last. They have chemistry.
Kevin just dissed Mariah big time.. why would any Mariah fan want her with him?
I don’t want these two together. They do nothing for me, and it’s just another
breakup of what used to be a happy couple. How soon until Jack finds out?
And even though it was used as a way to further their way toward the bedroom,
the way that Phyllis kept showing up at Billy’s after a fight with Jack seemed
pathetic. She needs a best girlfriend to vent to, jeez!
Do you all not remember years ago when Jack and Jill went up this same hill? Jill was married to John- Jack’s father! She was his mother in law – now the shoe is on the other foot – I don’t feel sorry for Jack.
And he was an awful person like Victor too..I.e. Original jack Terry Lester
Sonja…I (also) don’t feel sorry for Jack. At all!!!!! K-A-R-M-A!!!!!
I don’t feel bad for Jack either.. He sure did not wait long to get into Kelly’s bed either.. He promised Phyllis he would be there 10 seconds later he is banging Kelly after she had banged Billy. I am so ok with this.
Old Phyllis with some spice comes back. Yes!!! I want to see Gina Tognoni fire it up. When she was evil Dinah on GL she was in top form and I can’t wait to see what she does with Phyllis. Phyllis isn’t really evil just conniving and manipulative, which I like to see in her. Tired of her being angry for no reason and tired of her whining. The real Phyllis takes it on and deals with the fallout as it happens. Billy? He is great with Phyllis but I can’t take it seriously because of how he allegedly loved Victoria so much. Yes he is hurting. Yes he is confused but I just don’t completely buy his sudden fascination with Phyllis. I will go along for the ride cause the chemistry between Jason Thompson and Gina Tognoni sends sparks through my HD screen. Kudos to Y&R for firing on so many cylinders. My only complaint is seeing so much of Summer. God I despise that character. She is awful. Can we send her to medical school in a different city and have her phone in a scene on Skype once every two months? Please? The rest of Y&R I am really digging right now.
I think they are disgusting and don’t have any sexual chemistry but I really like Victoria and Travis, he’s a super hottie so have at it.
I think Billy’s carelessness of Jack’s feelings though is abhorrent.
I can’t stand icky vikki.. she is a freak who is got such a gross relationship with her controlling father..
Well they might not be able to resist temptation but I will, by not watching this story.
I can’t wait to see Jack freak out..
Jack has been a weak whimp for too long..
Everyone rides over him ..
Poor Jack has become stupidly weak and he needs a rude awaking..
((( looking forward to Bill & Phil … (no Viagra needed lol)
Not looking forward to Billy and Phyllis. Stop making Jack a wimp. Stop it. Stop both and go back to work!
and what is with the weird lip biting Jack does in every scene.
That pairing is beyond nasty. Can Jack please be freed for good from these two vile people? Maybe Max will take some requests on who to send down the stairs next.
Yeah , saw that coming, no surprise there, Phyllis can’t be faithful to anybody, especially Jack, AND I don’t like Jason Thompson as Billy, he just doesn’t fit the Character,
finally!!!!!!!
jason and gina are so hot!
both recasts are fitting in like a glove….. love em
I like Jack, and he doesn’t deserve a unfaithful wife, I wonder if Nicki and Jack hook up.. I think Phyllis will be sorry. Victor might end up with the Dr in Prison..Summer is a great Actor, she’s improved… leave her alone..lol
Two strikes Jan! Nikki and Jack is SO over and Summer sucks!
I like Jack, they will be paid back… Maybe Jack and Nikki will get together again.. Victor with the Dr. Summer has improved..
No. Yuck.
First of all that is not Phyliss or Billy! You can just recast characters so many times and the viewer begins to yawn. I like both actors but they should of been brought on as different characters. The sets the whole atmosphere of this show is gone.The original Jack would have blown her off long time ago and grinned while he was doing it. Gosh how I miss Terry Lester.
Amen sister, nail on the head! Fine actors BUT frauds! Justin Harley, well they got VERY lucky BUT I would take back Michael Muhney in a second! Plus, Justin will be gone sooner than later, he is VERY talented! Your right, Jason Thompson should have been a whole different character. He is VERY talented but sucks as Billy. Billy should have been shelved after Billy Miller left. Jason could have been Lucas Santori instead of the less than acceptable guy who plays him now. Terry Lester was great BUT I like Peter VERY much. I think they are softening him to be more like his father.
Read reply below you take care
By the way I think JH is affine looking man but Cheleas ans Adam were never the romance of the century it was always Sharon
Amen sister part II. Yes Justin is chiseled out of stone and seems like a nice man. Team SHADAM all the way!
Its so gross to think your brother would stab you in the back and screw your wife! Whatever Jack has done in the past is in the past! Jack should NEVER forgive Billy or Phyllis! They are grooming Jack to be the Patriarch of the family. Fine, but Jack is handsome and rich, lets give Jack a brand new love! Chelsea or Lilly come to mind. No more newbies for now.
Terry Lester was a friend so yes I am partial probably to a fault but I think PB is a fine actor! Sorry every time I see Terry on screen I tear up sue me
I liked Terry as well and the old Phyllis & the old Billy but I think it’s an injustice to keep comparing them all especially when they work so hard for the fans.I’m glad Billy finally got some much needed back bone to stop crawling back to Victoria as her whip boy. I don’t know if you all remember when Victor was in court and started to daydream about what his family would be without him? Now that Victoria is hanging out in a bar, Nick is getting nasty due to his losses and Victor wants him to run the company. Nicky has turned to alcohol more times than I can think of & now that Adam is unemployed I wonder if he’s going to try & buy his mothers property? I don’t know if it will happen but didn’t Nick marry Lilly in Victor’s dream?
I agree Nikki PB is a good actor I just miss the dark playboy edge to the character of Jack!I I have always adored Gina just a decade to young for the part and JT just is not convincing me as Billy I think sometimes you need to shelve characters for a while then bring them back. Sometimes producers just cant admit they stepped in it BM was Billy I hate him as Jason.
I thought JT was going to work as Billy then he started working with the cast and he lost me not his fault

All My Children
Mark Consuelos Celebrates Kelly Ripa’s 56th Birthday on ‘Live,’ But Remember When Wendy Williams Outed the Couple as Married Before Anyone at ‘All My Children’ Knew?
On the Friday, October 2 episode of Live with Kelly and Mark, the morning talk show marked the 56th birthday of Kelly Ripa (ex-Hayley Vaughan Santos, All My Children).
During the opening segment, Mark Consuelos (ex-Mateo Santos, All My Children) humorously comparing his wife to both Gandhi and Groucho Marx, reflecting on both her comedic ability and peaceful ways.
Later, they went on to discuss the origins of her name and the most popular picks to name babies back in the year she was born, 1970. They were Kimberly, Lisa, and Jennifer for girls and Michael, David, and James for the boys.
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Ripa recalled that she learned she was almost named Kim. However, their neighbors at the time had two daughters Kelly and Kim, which is what her parents wanted to call them, but they settled on Kelly and and her younger sister, Linda.
At the conclusion of the episode, Mark rolled out a huge cake for his wife. It was, “Happy birthday from all of us here at Live and at home.” Next, he cut the cake, and Ripa grabbed his face and gave him a “thank you” kiss.

KELLY AND MARK TRIED TO KEEP THEIR VEGAS WEDDING ON THE DOWN LOW
All of this brings back memories of how Kelly and Mark’s Las Vegas wedding ceremony went public in 1996 while the two were still on All My Children playing Mateo Santos and Hayley Vaughan. In essence, they were outed by then radio host Wendy Williams! They discussed it on the talk show back in 2024.
In fact, the duo hid their marriage from their All My Children castmates for months, until they found out Williams got wind of the nuptials and spread the intel on the airwaves.
The two recalled their secret wedding on a 2024 episode of Live! “We’d eloped. It’d been a few months at that point. We’d been married for three months, nobody at All My Children knew we were even dating, much less married to each other. We’re brushing our teeth and we’ve got Wendy Williams’ radio show on. We’re listening, and she’s like, ‘I’ve got celebrity dish!”
EYEWITNESS
Next Ripa continued, “The celebrities,’ I guess they had a broad use of the term back then, was the fact that ‘two soap stars from All My Children, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos eloped in Las Vegas.’ There was this eyewitness that worked in the Clark County courthouse that said we eloped, and the news broke, and we had to tell everybody we were married.”
Live With Kelly and Mark airs weekdays in syndication. Check your local listings for times in your area.

TUNE-IN: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Banneker Homecoming Episodes, EP Sheila Ducksworth Speaks on Impact HBCUs Have in Real Life
As previously reported, kicking off today, is a two-part Beyond the Gates, when The Duprees gather to celebrate Banneker University’s homecoming weekend.
The producers and writers are taking an opportunity to spotlight the rich traditions of the long-held tradition of attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through its fictional university.
The episodes are today on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Friday, October 2 and next week on Monday, October 5, where in true Beyond the Gates fashion, there will be some surprising drama that ensues when someone shows up!

BANNEKER REFLECTS THE IMPORTANCE OF HBCUS
Sheila Duckworth, (executive producer, Beyond the Gates) spoke to Soaps.com to give some insight on the decision for the series to illustrate the ties that bind with HBCUs.
“It was important that we have this school as almost a character on our canvas, right from the beginning. Beyond even education, HBCUs have been pivotal when it comes to everything from economic progression and fostering a sense of community to the development of leadership skills,” explained Ducksworth. “From the beginning, we wanted to illustrate that what the Duprees are able to do in the world was a direct reflection of the impact HBCU’s have in real life.”
EVERYTHING HAS ITS PURPOSE
The EP talked about how purposeful the elements that integrate Banneker into the overall story of Beyond the Gates are including: the Dupree family door knocker that is a lion, the mascot for the fictional university, plus, the upcoming fight song that the cast will sing together on the Monday, October 5 episode, and the painting the hangs at Fairmont Crest.
That portrait of Vernon Dupree’s (Clifton Davis) father, George Cheeks Dupree, that hangs prominently at the country club, was named after CBS executive George Cheeks (now Chairman of TV and Media, Paramount), and as Ducksworth says of the legacy of Vernon’s father, “He was the architect of Fairmont Crest.”
So, are you looking forward to these episodes honoring HBCU traditions with the Dupree and the Richardson clans? What surprises do you think might be in store come next week? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘General Hospital’ Alum Tajh Bellow Fills In for ‘Days of our Lives’ Tyler Joseph Andrews in the Role of Theo Carver
After an earlier post on Thursday, October 1 about General Hospital alumni Tajh Bellow’s (ex-TJ Ashford) upcoming project from Issa Rae’s HOOPAE Digital, comes word that Bellow is temporarily stepping into the role of Days of our Lives Theo Carver to fill in for Tyler Joseph Andrews on the Peacock streaming soap opera.
According to TV Insider, Bellow will be making a one-day appearance next week on the October 6 episode of DAYS as Andrews was unable to make the tape date that was shot 10 months ago on a day last December. Andrews (pictured below) took over the role of Theo in September of 2025.

TAJH WILL BE SEEN IN MULTIPLE PROJECTS IN OCTOBER
As General Hospital fans know, Tajh played the role of TJ Ashford from 2018 to his last appearance in December of 2024. Along the way, he received two Daytime Emmy nominations for his performances as TJ, the last being in 2025 in the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Daytime Drama Series category.
In addition, bellow along with Y&R alum Loren Lott will be seen starting on October 14 in the new Love Island spoof series, The Compatibility Experiment. The show will drop exclusively on TikTok and the PineDrama platform.
