“The Young and the Restless” spoilers tease that Billy Abbott [Burgess Jenkins] will be involved in a tragic accident on Friday, December 4. According to the CBS preview, Paul Williams [Doug Davidson] tells Victoria Newman [Amelia Heinle] that Billy was in an accident.
Is it possible his tragic accident will allow TPTB to swap actors, ushering Burgess Jenkins out and unveiling the new Billy Abbott? Burgess Jenkins announced last month that he would not sign a new contract and will leave the role of Billy Abbott.
It sent shockwaves throughout social media when the fans realized they’d have to embrace yet another Billy recast. CBS Soaps in Depth reported TPTB was seriously considering “General Hospital” alum, Jason Thompson for the role.
“The Young and the Restless” spoilers hinted a few weeks ago that Billy would be involved in some type of accident during a showdown with Victor Newman [Eric Braeden].
At least one media outlet reported that Billy would be presumed dead to allow TPTB time to recast the role. Is it possible that Billy will die in a tragic accident, only to be revived when they recast the role?
It is also possible that Billy could fall into a coma and be ‘asleep’ until they find the perfect Billy. Phyllis Abbott [Gina Tognoni] was in a coma for months on end until they found the ideal actress to fill the role.
Burgess Jenkins contract expires at the end of December, so his exit should be coming up in the next several weeks. The past few days have been particularly emotional for Billy with Adam’s [Justin Hartley] appeal making his release from prison a reality and the break-up with his ex-wife, Victoria.
Billy is on edge, about to blow, and has not made it a secret that his target is the big man, Victor Newman. The real question is, how and when will Burgess Jenkins leave the show?
Is this possibly his last couple scenes before his fans have to say farewell to his portrayal of Billy Abbott? One thing is for sure; Billy is going down in smoke and hopes to bring the Mustache right along with him.
