The Young and the Restless Billy Miller (Billy Abbott) got a well-deserved Daytime Emmy Nomination for his portrayal of Billy Abbott this morning when the nominees for the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced. Miller had this to say on how he found out he made it to the final five in The Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series Category:
“I was asleep, soundly. After a long night of, well “celebrating life,” I took the liberty of attempting to sleep in only to wake up to my agent’s call at 5:00 am. I answered half asleep and assuring them that a.) I was not in jail b.) I didn’t do anything more stupid than ordinary, and c.) whatever you heard, it wasn’t me. Then of course they delivered the good news. Very cool, must admit I am pleasantly surprised and very honored.
By 9 a.m. I found it odd my mom didn’t call, so I reached out to her. She told me she didn’t think I got a nom because my name wasn’t announced in the a.m. broadcast. So, I then delivered the news, at which time she said “THAT’S GREAT! Goodbye, I have to brag to people now.” Then she hung up on me.”

Hollywood Studios, Producers & Guilds Send Plan To Gov. Newsom and Gov. Cuomo For COVID-19 Production Restart Guidelines
On Monday, the two states with the most television and film production in the United States (California and New York) received a plan from many Hollywood studios, producers and the entertainment and production guilds of a plan and outline to be able to rejigger and restart production of your favorite shows and films. This includes the soaps: General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful and Days of our Lives.
Via Deadline: In an effort to get the industry moving-forward again where jobs were lost or put on hold, and production were completely stalled out-of-the-blue, the guidelines submitted by “The Industry-Wide Labor-Management Safety Committee Task Force (the “Task Force”) is asking for consideration and adoption for the resumption of motion picture, television, and streaming productions in an environment that minimizes the risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19,” says a report for Governors Gavin Newsom of California and Andrew Cuomo of New York.

You can read the details of the report here. While there has been no word from the Governors and their offices if they have seen the report, bets are that several more steps will be needed before anyone would head and report back to a set yet.
As one would expect, limiting contact, social distancing, regular temperature checks, ways to handle props, and a COVID-19 compliance officer for all productions are part of the proposal. As well as virtual writers room meetings, avoiding filming on-location as much as possible and filming in front of large audiences.
So, glad to know that this major step has been taken to try to get production back on track in Hollywood and New York? Comment below.

British Soap ‘Coronation Street’ Set To Resume Production Next Week Following COVID-19 Shutdown
Will American soaps soon follow the Brits, and be able to start up your favorite soap towns again? While production entities await for guidelines from the state of California and the city of Los Angeles, across the bond, ITV’s Coronation Street has set next Tuesday, June 9th to begin filming new episodes of the popular drama.
Coronation Street had been on 10-week mandatory shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic sweeping our globe. The return to start up the show keeps the soap on-air throughout July and then ongoing. There will be three episodes filmed each week at their studios in Manchester.
Along with ITV’s Emmerdale, and other programs, Coronation Street is returning to production under the UK’s guidelines and safety protocols for COVID-19.
According to Deadline that will include: crew members designated to a specific studio or exterior lot … social distancing will be observed … cast and crew will have daily temperature checks, while older and more vulnerable members of the team won’t be part of the new episodes during the initial period of filming.
In a statement, John Whiston, ITV’s managing director of continuing drama, said: “Getting to this point has taken a huge amount of work and goodwill from a huge number of people, not least our cast and crew. With the peak past, all indications are that the time is right for a return to filming. And with the extensive protocols we have put in place, we have made our workplace as safe as possible. I’m sure our audience will appreciate having the show they love continue on air. For many who have written in it is a vital escape from all the fears and stresses this virus brings in its wake.”
So, do you the news on “Corrie” spells a brighter outlook for the American daytime dramas to begin production shortly in some capacity? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

If it’s an Emmy for widest pectorals, then Miller would win. I think Thad Luckinbill is actually better than Miller. He’s definitely not your stereotypical Y&R actor: histrionic, showy, OTT and very “look at me! i’m acting!” He’s a quieter actor, and he was actually 1 of the few good parts in their heart transplant reel, til the dialogue and his acting got melodramatic in a part.
Miller is one of the most overrated actors on Y&R. He’s too hammy, and he acts like it’s all a joke. He was awful in Y&R’s “best” show reel.
And didn’t Miller “joke” or talk abt cheating on all of his past girlfriends? That’s not very nice Miller.
just want 2 say i love u very mutch an u have asexy boddyan congratuions and wish u best of lock
one mour ting billy dont let any one stop u from what u do best love linzey
Congratulations to Billy Miller! He deserves it! WONDERFUL actor.
Love Billy Miller, who cares about his personal life. He’s a well deserving actor who makes all of his moments on YR shine!
But what is a big shock..NOT! Is that that the most over rated, one note, air sucking , scenery chewing, Jazz hand flailing, stuttering, eye rolling, hair flinging actress, once again gets to shut out other more deserving leading ladies in daytime.
Michelle Stufford. Who the flips thinks this gawd awful woman has talent?
Interesting Knox. There are a few people on Confidential and goldderby that don’t like her acting as well.
What’s wrong with Billy’s personal life? I thought I read somewhere he had a girlfriend. Also what kind of mom hangs up on her hottie of a son with just a “That’s Great”? Are you kidding me?
Billy Miller has grown on me. When he first appeared on Y&R, I thought he was a little much,and over acting. But truth be known, he has everything going to make him a star. You can’t beat that cunning smile and his brashness, and because he is so good at it, he wins you over. He does have a good part, also, which helps a lot.It will be interesting to see how his dalliance with Victoria plays out. So, good luck at the Emmys, Mr. Miller…
I love Billy Miller.He is my absolute favorite on Y&R. I love Peter Bergman as well.I am super happy for both of them.They both deserve it! Good Luck Billy!!! From your #1 Fan!
Congraulations, Billy. You are an excelent actor. I love your character, who you portray so well.
Best wishes,
Amanda
Congrats you totally deserve this award and more! Billy Miller is the BEST thing that ever happened to y&r and they know it. LOL he said that he cheated on his past girlfriends? Sounds like he has a lot in common with his character lol, but I still love him to death.
I heart Billy Miller…those Southern boys…I swear. He makes Y&R worth watching. The man oooozes sex appeal.
I just have to say that I can’t believe thr r people out thr who dislike Miller’s or Stafford’s acting! I think thr the two best actors on the show! They’re the top two reasons that I watch! I l love Bergman 2. It’s great watching Billy & Jack go at it on screen! Good luck 2 u guys at the Emmy’s! Ur nominations are much deserved.
LOVE Billy!!! LOL your Mom hung up on you…..I can almost see the face you made….
