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!

Nathan Fillion Talks His Start On OLTL On ‘The View’ With Whoopi Goldberg
On Thursday’s episode of ABC’s The View, Nathan Fillion visited the show promoting his series, The Rookie. But during the beginning of his conversation with Whoopi Goldberg, he talked about what he learned from his humble beginnings in show business as Joey Buchanan on the beloved One Life to Live.
Of course, OLTL fans recall that Nathan was involved in a romantic storyline with Llanview icon, Robin Strasser (Dorian) and played the on-screen son to another icon, Erika Slezak (Viki).

Fillion shared about this time on One Life: “Everything I did and everything I do I learned on that show. I never speak poorly on daytime … it was such a warm kind place to be. I learned everything there. I don’t know where an actor can go and work with people that have worked in the business for 25, 35, 40 years, and I had no idea what i’m doing …and they said, ‘no problem here is what you do’. So, it was very good people.”
Goldberg also alluded to that she “missed the soaps” meaning All My Children and One Life to Live that shot right where they are in New York City at the ABC studios on 66th and 67th street.
Watch Nathan talk his early career and more with the ladies of The View below. Then, let us know what you think about the sentiments he share from his time at One Life to Live via the comment section.

Y&R’s Thad Luckinbill To Produce ‘Postscript’ The Film Adaptation of Sequel To “P.S. I Love You”
We all know that Thad Luckinbill (Ex-J.T Hellstrom, The Young and the Restless) wears many hats in the entertainment industry. He acts, he writes, he produces, he sings … is there anything that this talented guy doesn’t do?
Now comes word that Luckinbill’s production company (with his brother Trent and Molly Smith), Black Label Media, in conjunction with Alcon Entertainment, has secured the rights to the the novel Postscript and will turn it into a motion picture.
Postscript is the recently released sequel to Cecelia Ahern’s 2004 debut novel, P.S. I Love You. The original movie starred two-time Oscar winner, Hilary Swank as Holly who loses her husband tragically when he dies from a brain tumor. Then, a grieving Holly discovers that her husband has left behind 10 letters designed to help Holly overcome her sorrow and transition to a new life.
According to Deadline, who broke the news of this film deal: In, Postscript (which hit book stores this week in the U.S.) the story picks up Holly seven years after her husband’s death with Holly having peacefully moved on with her life. However, when Holly’s sister asks her to tell the story of the “PS, I Love You” letters on her podcast — she does so reluctantly, not wanting to reopen old wounds. Soon after the episode airs, people start reaching out to Holly, and they all have one thing in common: they’re terminally ill and want to leave their own missives behind for loved ones.”
According to a report here, Swank will reprise her role as Holly in the new movie.
Luckinbill’s Black Label Media recently produced the war movie, 12 Strong in which he co-stared, while he was also one of the producers on the hit movie, La La Land.
Intrigued to see how Postscript turns out? Wish Thad would return as. J. T to Y&R for a another stint? Comment below.

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.
