The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Billy Wants To Preserve His Mother’s Legacy

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, actor Jason Thompson, who plays Billy Abbott on the hit CBS soap, says that his takeover of Chancellor-Winters is not about a power grab.

Instead, it’s all about preserving his mother Jill’s legacy. And that’s why he desperately want Lily to join him in this move as well.

Jason puts it this way to the publication, “I think that one of the things that Billy is learning about himself and his emotional maturity as life goes on is just how important family really is.”

The actor continued, “His mom got sick out of nowhere and he realizes that there are certain things that are not negotiable or up for sale, and that is his love for his family and his commitment to that.”

“I think he’s learning that now as he goes, on a deeper level. So I believe that he really is doing this for his mother’s legacy.”

“And there’s one thing about Billy, if he thinks that it’s the right thing to do, he goes forit  and that’s where he finds himself right now, including with Lily.“

Then again, Y&R spoilers says that it’s Lily who feels like she’s stuck in the middle between Billy and Devon, even though Billy is trying to lure her in his direction.

Jason said, “The fact is, Billy and Devon really aren’t seeing eye to eye and it doesn’t seem like they ever will.”

He also said, “From a business standpoint, you’ve got to call it and move on from it before it causes further damage.”

“The way Devon seems to want to run his companies and everything else is not exactly copacetic with Billy.”
