Yesterday was a terrific day for the new Billy I really like him, he is an excellent actor. I can see him and Phyllis together they have awesome chemistry. The baby thing was so strange as was the end of the Marco plot line that is just now getting resolved. those 2 story lines were…not presented well. Same thing with Sharon’s son wanting to do the right thing then suddenly he leaves gets caught , runs from the police all off camera..that was wacky. Sometimes the choppy time line direction on this show is confusing. I started watching right before the Marco storyline. I gave up soaps after Disney cancelled All My Children. I like some of the characters on Y&R, never watched it before.
