Having nuBilly moan about a girl he never met doesn’t play for me. I think it would have been better to write Billy out until they could find a suitable recast and give fans time without Billy Miller.
Burgess Jenkins is doing a terrific job as the new billy, You need to give him a chance. I am surprised, he is a great actor and hot too. lol.
He is. Just like the new Adam, all eyes are on the actor who is not Billy Miller. I give Burgess a ton of credit for his persistence and him taking the high road. These actors are human beings. The one big problem with Burgess, and yes he is handsome, he is taller, older, and he needs to relax his hair. Its hard to see him and Jack acting and Billy is supposed to be much younger. He looked really good and believable as Billy when he had a baseball hat on and him and Chelsea were playing ball. Keep your head up Burgess.
I have given him a chance, but I’m just not feeling it. I don’t think he’s that great an actor. I think they could have found someone better.
Like Adam. They let his heels cool and the MM story go away. Now Justin gets to walk in with a little less pressure but there will be plenty of comparisons, for sure. Billy was just shoved down our throats. David was a bust. Burgess is getting better. They need to keep him away from Victoria because when you see those two together you always think of Billy Miller.
Maria:
It has taken me a long time but Jenkins is starting to flesh out Billy as his own creation. Finally, I am seeing him as Billy. I think I would have warmed up to him faster had they not snatched David Tom away as Billy just when he was finding his footing.
I would love to see Chloe come back with Billys baby
I love the new Billy. He’s doing a fantastic job and I think he and Chelsea are going to be the next super couple. Now what can we call them “Chilly?’
I’m starting to get used to nuBilly….not completely. I agree that he is too old to play Billy, and to make it worse he looks much older than his 41 years.
Eventually, we will all accept him…..he’s doing fine.
Off subject, but I am so incensed over the affair between Hilary and Devon…actually, disgusted.
I wish Neil would suddenly get his vision back and catch them in the act so that this farce could finally end. I am so tired of this stupid triangle…which reminds me; didn’t Devon sleep with another of Neil’s ‘women’?
I can’t remember her name, but I think she was Devon’s half sister’s aunt?
This reminds me of the musical beds on GH.
I agree with your comment 100% CeeCee….nuBilly is kind of doing his gig and he is growing on me, good job..And I am also annoyed by this silly affair, much like in GH with Sonny and Carly…What its the point!!
What happen to the good old fashion affairs where you were actually cheering for the cheaters, lol…Hopefully Neil would be given some rewarding material, so he will showcase his acting talent when he finds out about the affair and end this nonsense!!…That said, Y&R is getting back on track!!!
I bet Neil’s vision will return and it’ll happen at the moment he catches Hil and Dev in bed together!!!
You’d think that sight would blind him all over again! Can’t stand Devon. Never could, never will.
@BMmom. Believe you me, my sentiments exactly. I just do not see Devon in a romantic role, period! Why does he always feel the need to feast on his father’s delights? Besides, I said this before….he looks 12. Could TPTB not have written Mackenzie to be the recipient of Catherine’s billions? Devon does not strike me as the savvy -billionaire -extraordinaire. He s@@ks at everything he does.
Please do something constructive with Hilucifer. I just do not get the reason for this role…..enough of Neil storylines….oh, and, enough of Nikki’s melodramas.
CeeCee…I think that I can clear things up here. Her name was Tyra…another TRAIN-WRECK CHICK that was all W-R-O-N-G for Neil!!!!! Anyway, I hope that I was helpful.
Peace.
Thanks, jaybird…pax to you too….later
The only thing that interests me is the return of Phyllis. I will not naysay her recast yet. But, I must comment on the fact that Phyllis would have sensed….caught on to the fact that something was awry with Jack….that he’s acting weirdly and uncharacteristically not Jack.
I want Phyllis to walk out of Jack’s life, pair up with Joe (yummy), and leave Jack with his tongue hanging down licking the footprints she left on the floor.
The Phyllis I knew would not have been so dull-witted. I mean, why isn’t she saying, “Huh ??!!”.
She should be able to discern that when Jack speaks of Billy, he is actually speaking of himself.
Plus, it must hurt Jack each and every time Phyllis refers to Kelly as ‘the whore’…LOL. No disrespect…..
Why is it that I feel no pity or feelings for Jack and Kelly? ….he just couldn’t wait…..and, she just had to have a taste of both brothers. It is for this exact reason that Y&R is well known…..family members indiscriminately sleep with each other without any qualms….sisters-in-law…brothers-in-law…..step fathers and mothers…..daughters and sons-in-law….etc.
Well, come to think of it, all soaps share this over-the-top trait.
I hope Gina delivers because none of the other storylines and lack-there-of is doing it for me. The thrill is gone.
Here goes Nikki again….always about her….so sick of it!
The Winters sick love triangle is not even worth mentioning any more.
The police department is standing on it’s last toe….really, how powerful can one Ian Ward be that gets away with all this stupidity?
And Victoria? Have the baby already!
I give up….but, as the idiot that I am, I’ll keep watching.
Burgess Jenkins still hasn’t grown on me. He is just…blah. FF material, which is too bad, because I like Chelsea and pretty much everyone else he shares scenes and storyline with.
General Hospital
Blythe Howard Joins the Cast of ‘General Hospital’ as Monet: Who is She Connected to in Port Charles?
General Hospital continues to add new characters to the canvas. Now comes word of the arrival of Monet, a savvy lawyer played by Blythe Howard. Look for Monet to debut in Port Charles next week on the Wednesday, September 23 episode.
According to TV Insider, “Monet arrives in town as a litigator who recently joined Miller & Davis, the firm run by Diane Miller (Carolyn Hennesy) and Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn), and meets with a Port Charles resident in need of legal counsel.”
In a statement, General Hospital’s executive producer, Frank Valentini shared, “I am very excited to welcome Blythe Howard to the cast of General Hospital. Look for her to have an unexpected connection to a beloved Port Charles resident.”
FROM TELEVISION TO CANCER SURVIVOR TO GIVING BACK
If Howard looks familiar you may have seen her on several television series including: Yellowstone, Power Book IV: Force, Walker, 9-1-1: Lone Star, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, CW’s Dynasty, Silicon Valley plus David Fincher‘s Mindhunter.

Blythe is also a cancer survivor having cofounded Chemo Queens with her sister Kelsey Howard. The company creates products for people undergoing cancer treatment, including a patent-pending cold cap design.
In recent months, General Hospital has brought in several new actors for brand new roles or recasts. They include: Alimi Ballard (William Baines), Jonathan Bennett (Joe Fitzpatrick), Kearran Giovanni (Dr. Nichols), Dean Geyer (Tristan Roberts), Kelly Kruger (Serena Baldwin), Kayden Brennan Tokarski (Scout Cain) and Troy Lennon Appel (Hudson Parker). You can now add Blythe Howard to this list.
So, who do you think Monet has an unexpected connection to that is a “beloved” Port Charles resident as teased by Frank Valentini? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.
While Finn (Tanner Novlan) is unaware that his wife Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is pregnant and that she is supposedly carrying Carter Walton’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) child on The Bold and the Beautiful, Tanner Novlan is keeping busy, not only on the CBS soap, but in an upcoming new feature for the streamer Roku entitled Cowboy Hearts.
Laguna Beach star Kristen Cavallari is the lead opposite Novlan. The log lines of the story tease, “When a no-nonsense reality TV producer (Cavallari) is sent to Georgia to oversee the reboot of the hit dating show ‘Cowboy Hearts,’ she expects chaos behind the scenes, not romantic sparks with the cowboy himself (Novlan). Now, with the cameras rolling and her job on the line, she’ll have to decide if love is worth going off script.”
Taking to his Instagram to confirm his casting, Tanner Novlan shared, “Cowboy Hearts coming to @therokuchannel early ‘27!” The caption was posted alongside two photos of Tanner in the film wearing a cowboy hat, and a video with Tanner shirtless in said cowboy hat, but riding a horse. Tanner’s wife, former B&B actress, Kayla Ewell (ex-Caitlin Ramirez) joked in the comment thread, “Can you bring the cowboy hat home?”

KRISTEN CAVALLARI RETURNS TO ACTING AFTER 15 YEARS
Cavallari also recently starred as herself in an episode of ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville, but Cowboy Hearts marks her first acting role in 15 years since she appeared in an episode of ABC comedy series, The Middle. Earlier in her career, Kristen appeared in the Laguna Beach spinoff, The Hills (as herself), plus episodes of Veronica Mars and CSI: NY.
The partnership of Roku and Cavallari comes from her having the biggest unscripted launch ever on the Roku platform with The Reunion: Laguna Beach. Now, Cowboy Hearts will launch sometime next year with Cavallari saying in a statement to Deadline, “I’m so excited to be stepping back into acting and getting to do something completely different with a rom-com. After such a great experience working with Roku on The Reunion: Laguna Beach, it feels especially exciting to be working with their team again — but this time for a scripted film. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
MORE THAN JUST BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL
As for Tanner Novlan, he has been playing Dr. John Finn Finnegan since July of 2020 on the CBS daytime drama series. He’s also well known for his role as the bad actor/ spokesperson in the Liberty Biberty commercial spots for Liberty Mutual, and his recurring role on Roswell, New Mexico.
Novlan is no stranger as a leading man in rom-coms, too. He previously appeared in 2019’s My Best Friend’s Christmas, 2022’s Christmas Class Reunion, and 2024’s Debbie Macomber’s Joyful Mrs. Miracle.
So, intrigued to see Tanner in Cowboy Hearts when it comes out next year? On B&B, do you think Finn is really the baby-daddy to Steffy’s unborn baby that will be revealed later down the road? Let us know via the comment section.
