Lines everywhere will shrug, knowing how casually Phyllis tends to cross them. But you may still be surprised by the one that she crosses today.

Although Tucker retaliates against Jack, he might be better off considering a move that would allow his broken heart to be healed by a certain single lady over on Bold & Beautiful.

Diane makes a shocking discovery. And as you can imagine, it takes a lot to shock someone who’s played dead, come back from the dead and been accused of attempting to murder someone else who was just playing dead!

Friday, September 29:

Another day, another accusation, eh, Billy? Once again, the black sheep of the Abbott family is forced to defend himself.

Audra reveals a secret. Could it be the one we guessed a while back would be, um, gestating?

Jack can huff and puff all he likes, but Phyllis stands her ground with her ex nonetheless. Here’s hoping there’s a referee around. (Or not!)

Plus, Taylor gets to have the fun — and give us the fun — of watching Brooke and Ridge squirm upon realizing that she’s back, so they can no longer pretend that it wasn’t that long ago that he was promising her that, no matter what, she was the woman he wanted in his life.

Rest In Peace/Happy Birthday Billy Miller (All My Children, The Young & the Restless & General Hospital)

 


William John Miller II (September 17, 1979 – September 15, 2023) was an American actor. He was recognized for his work on American soap operas, including his award-winning work as Billy Abbott on The Young and the Restless and his dual portrayals of Jason Morgan and Drew Cain on General Hospital.



Early life and education

Miller was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and grew up in Grand Prairie, Texas. As a child, Miller spent five years as a patient of Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, an organization he now supports.

He attended Lamar High School in Arlington, Texas, and the University of Texas in Austin, Texas, where he received a communications degree and was one of only twenty students in the film department's intensive Production Sequence.



Career

After graduating from college, Miller moved out to Los Angeles where he began working in the mail room of Industry Entertainment. His first break into acting came after he signed on with the Wilhelmina modeling agency. He appeared in six commercials, including two for Electronic Arts' The Sims. He also did commercials for JCPenney, Pizza Hut, and pokerparty.com.



At the age of 24, Miller screen-tested for As the World Turns, a soap opera on the CBS network; he lost the audition, citing bad management, and subsequently parted ways with his agency and Management Company. He took a two-year hiatus from acting after that experience.

In 2006, Miller returned to acting, starring in an episode of CSI: NY. A year later, he landed the role of Richie Novak, the murdering and blackmailing brother of Annie Lavery on All My Children, a soap opera on ABC. His first appearance was on August 30, 2007. When news of the character's demise broke in August 2008, Miller began the audition process again. Barbara Bloom (Senior Vice President, Daytime, CBS Entertainment), Julie Hanan Carruthers (Executive Producer, All My Children), Marla Kanelos (former scriptwriter, All My Children, now Associate Head Writer, The Young and the Restless) and, screen-test partners Peter Bergman and Elizabeth Hendrickson, were instrumental in his casting at The Young and the Restless, where he was cast in the role of Billy Abbott. Miller, who submitted the longest Emmy reel among all nominated performers (over 32 minutes long—an entire episode), was awarded for his work in an It's A Wonderful Life-styled episode of The Young and the Restless with his first nomination and won as Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series on June 27, 2010, as well as June 14, 2013.

In 2011, he was nominated a second time in the Outstanding Supporting Actor category for the same role. Miller also appears, as himself, in an independent film titled Remembering Nigel, which premiered at the Paso Robles Digital Film Festival on November 25, 2009.

In August 2012, it was announced Miller would be appearing in primetime as a recurring cast member on The CW's Ringer. Miller was also cast as Gabe Watson in the Lifetime made-for-TV movie Fatal Honeymoon. In November 2013, it was announced Miller would depart the role of Billy; Miller's predecessor David Tom was named as his successor in the role. Miller called his decision to leave the role the "hardest thing" he had ever done.



On September 2, 2014, General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini announced on Twitter that Miller would join the cast as Jason Morgan. In March 2018, for his portrayal of Jason, Miller earned a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor. In 2017, with the return of Steve Burton to the role of Jason, Miller's casting was retconned to that of his twin, Drew Cain. In July 2019, Miller announced his exit from the soap.



Death

Miller died in Austin, Texas, on September 15, 2023, at age 43. A cause of death was not given, though his manager stated Miller was dealing with manic depression at the time of his death.

Weekly Soap Spoilers: September 11-15, 2023



 The Young & the Restless

Who’s the boss? Nikki Newman, that’s who! Victor’s better half is taking no prisoners. (Consider yourselves warned, Adam and Nate!) In other developments, Sally may be getting jealous of Nick and Sharon just as Sharon is getting jealous of Chance and Summer — perhaps with good reason. And WTH is going on with “Tashley”?

Monday, September 11:

Victor gives Adam a wake-up call. And he knows all too well that there’s no hitting “snooze” on Daddy Dearest.

Nikki knows a rat when she smells one — or, in this case, a snake! So she makes it a priority to keep Nate on his toes.

It was bound to happen, and now it is: Nick and Sharon’s bond bothers Sally. Could this be the opening that Adam has long been waiting for?

Tuesday, September 12:

Since it’s never too early for an “I do”-over, Jack and Diane set a date to get married in high style.

Tucker and Ashley’s honeymoon takes an interesting turn. Hmm… but interesting good or interesting bad? With these two, it could go either way!

Determined to learn from her past mistakes, Phyllis… Wait, what? She interferes in Summer and Daniel’s personal lives! She hasn’t learned diddly!

Wednesday, September 13:

Victor might want to wear protective gear when he informs Victoria of her new role at Newman.

Carrying none of the baggage that Victor does where Adam is concerned, Nikki threatens her stepson.

Sharon notices a connection between Chance and Summer… one that the otherwise savvy detective may not yet have realized himself!

Thursday, September 14:

Jack calls a family meeting. The topic? With Tucker back in Genoa City without Ashley, let’s just say that it won’t be what canapes to serve at the upcoming reception.

Way to take the bull by the horns, Lily! Rather than wonder and worry, she confronts Daniel about Heather.

We’re not sure which of them is the sucker in this scenario, they’re both so conniving. Nonetheless, Tucker makes a deal with Audra.

Friday, September 15:

Ashley makes a distress call. What has she gotten herself into? And can her husband find a way to get her out of it?

Coincidentally (?), on this same day, Tucker confides in Devon. Maybe we’ll find out what’s going on with Ashley at the same time her stepson does.

When you’re already playing with fire, maybe it isn’t so scary to turn up the heat. Audra seems to think so as she changes the rules of the game with Kyle.



General Hospital

Things get crazy in the wake of Sonny’s arrest and Nikolas’ return to General Hospital. Molly has something to announce, Sasha gets a pretty big shock, and Anna gets confrontational with Valentin.

To whom does Michael pay an unexpected visit?

Wednesday, September 13:

The generally unflappable Maxie is downright confrontational.

Dante and Sam try working together toward a common goal.

Tracy proves that few people in Port Charles can match her when it comes to being stubborn.

Being a cop, it’s not surprising that Jordan is looking for answers.

Carly finds herself in the pretty familiar position of grilling Sonny. But seeing as they’re no longer married, will he feel obliged to share with her?

Thursday, September 14:

Sasha is in for the kind of shock that will rock a girl’s world.

We may find out just how much influence Austin really has — or doesn’t have — over Ava when he begs her to see things his way.

Dante gives voice to his regret.

Carly’s been working hard to try and free her beau. Might the plan she and Drew forge make that a reality?

Trina is about to receive the kind of offer she definitely can’t refuse.

Friday, September 15:

Martin is definitely not going to like what he sees.

Although Nikolas and Alexis have always been close, they haven’t always seen eye to eye. So when he makes a request, will she grant it?

Weekly Spoilers: September 4-8, 2023



 The Young and the Restless

Summer may be coming to an end, but Genoa City is about to be hit with a heatwave. While Victor lowers the boom on yet another of his children, Billy reaches the boiling point, and two old flames share a warm moment.

Week of September 4:

Monday, September 4:

While the rest of us are celebrating Labor Day, Genoa City will gather to mark their bicentennial. If that sounds familiar, it’s because today’s episode is a repeat of the one which originally aired back on March 24.

Tuesday, September 5:

Hmm. With Heather stirring up old feelings in Daniel, should Chelsea worry when Lily reconnects with her ex-boyfriend Billy? One person who may be thrilled by this news? Phyllis seems determined to interfere in her son’s love life!

Mariah makes an unexpected move… and does so with an assist from Devon. Here’s hoping she’s not leaving Tessa in the dark about whatever’s going on!

Wednesday, September 6:

Victor, seemingly hell-bent on alienating all of his children and then blaming them for it, teaches Victoria a painful lesson.

By now, Sharon should be able to see right through Adam. But will she when he makes an effort to keep up appearances?

Looks like Nikki is about to rub someone the wrong way and, as a result, earn herself a new nemesis! I guess now that she and Sharon are on pretty good terms, which makes sense. 

Thursday, September 7:

Past due to invest in a longer fuse, Billy loses his cool. Wanna bet he’s gone from miffed at Jack to full-on steamed?

As Audra’s situation gets ever stickier, Nate gives his partner in crime unsolicited advice.

The Bold and the Beautiful

Asking for a friend: How long can you keep contents under pressure before they explode? It sure sounds like we’re in for a big Kaboom in the storyline that has found Sheila casting a never-ending shadow over Steffy and Finn. As Ridge locks horns with the madwoman’s loverboy, Liam can’t seem to keep his ex-wife’s name out of his mouth. (Should we be grateful that at least he’s stopped paying her lip service with uninvited kisses?) Where is it all leading?

Week of September 4:

Monday, September 4:

Due to the Labor Day holiday, General Hospital will repeat the episode that originally aired on August 25, 2022, in which Drew and Carly were drawn together by a dangerous situation, Ava was on the receiving end of a threat from Victor, and Spencer wanted pretty much nothing to do with his dad’s attempt to show his affection.

Tuesday, September 5:

We’re not saying that these two facts are necessarily related, but no sooner does Sonny’s butt wind up in the hot seat than Diane is called upon to do what she does best.

We now know that Austin kept Nikolas alive (and Ava in the dark about her husband’s condition). Today, Ava goes to Mason and presses him for information!

Generally speaking, what Carly wants, Carly gets. But when what she’s after is answers, which may not be the case!

Cyrus decides to push a few of Drew’s buttons. Is the newly-coiffed baddie playing a dangerous game?

Cody has a light-bulb moment.

Ava gives Nina some sound advice… not that there’s any guarantee Sonny’s girlfriend will take his baby mama’s advice to heart!

A troublemaker with a very familiar face is headed for General Hospital.

The day we’ve been dreading finally arrives as all of Salem gathers to mourn the late Victor Kiriakis. Meanwhile, two of those whom he left behind will leave town to search for answers… and find the last thing they expected. Elsewhere, Vivian’s return stirs things up, chaos breaks out at Bayview and gunshots ring out!

Monday, September 4:

Who is the mystery man all of Salem is talking about? That’s exactly what Marlena hopes John and Steve will be able to help her figure out!

One can never say that Marlena won’t help just about anyone, especially after she agrees to work with Ava.
