Traci Abbott’s (Beth Maitland) visit proved to be the decisive factor in swaying Billy. She accomplished what no one, including Sally, had been able to do.
Billy has a special bond with Traci because, like him, she also horrifically lost a child. Her logical and emotionally angled pitch to him worked.
He realized that Jill’s fragile health and the coming birth of the baby he and Sally are anticipating shortly after the wedding were factors that overrode the position he’d taken.
Fans want to see Jill Abbott (Last played by Lauren Koslow, with Jess Walton having portrayed this character for many decades before her) at the wedding next month. Her absence wouldn’t be believable.
Viewers noted that Billy’s conversation with Jill wasn’t shown. He explained the result to Sally, with the anticipation of his mother’s return now teed up for October.
It will be interesting to see if Jill reveals why she apparently withheld the unpaid loan information that Billy dug up in the summer.
It would seem fitting that the outstanding plot issue be addressed after the jazz-themed wedding event and before Sally delivers, which could always be on the same day.
Traci expressed something heartfelt to Billy about himself. She told him that he sees himself as unique, believing that he is the only person in the world to experience various events in his life.
While Maitland’s character was well-intentioned, she might be off-base on this topic.
Jill keeping the Chancellor secret is naturally something that Billy and the audience need to learn more about.
Does Jill know about the unpaid loan, and if so, when did she learn that information, and why has she kept it suppressed?
If the Abbott family has been entitled to own Chancellor, then that’s something all of John Abbott’s (Jerry Douglas) heirs needed to know long ago.
However, it’s possible that Jill had or has a very good reason to have kept mum until, hopefully, soon providing that answer.
Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) was so forlorn. She assumed that her connection with Daniel Romalotti (Michael Graziadei) was damaged beyond repair, but thankfully it wasn’t.
He quickly determined that his mother was considering leaving town with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth).
Daniel telling Phyllis that she was loved by many people, including him, and that he wanted her to stay and fight to reestablish her close connections was terrific.
It could be that Howarth will soon be departing the cast, as Matt’s story feels like it’s coming to an end.
Here’s hoping that doesn’t happen because he’s a great actor and his scene partner, Stafford, has served as a terrific, equal match.
