The Young and the Restless Spoilers: Billy Refuses To Back Down
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Jason says that while his character has certainly made his fair share of mistakes in the past, he’s definitely tried to turn most of his wrongs into rights. The actor puts it this way, “What I also think with Billy is that he really does believe that he has learned from a lot of his mistakes. He’s learned from being at Jabot. He’s been the co-CEO, he’s been the COO and he’s learned from all of that kind of stuff. I see Billy as someone who is a self-processing kind of guy but he also has this innocent kind of immaturity to a certain extent. He wants to still have a good time and get a little bit loose. And so I like that kind of stuff about him as well, but I do believe that he does look at [C-W] as a new opportunity for him to really take ownership of all the things that he’s been through in his life and to take stock of it in a certain way.”
Jason continued, “Billy’s [stance] is, ‘I’m not here to take away anything, but I do believe that my mom’s name should be on this company. She owns half, she’s built it, and blah, blah, blah.’ He really believes that. Okay, [asking] didn’t work, ‘Well, then we’re going to do it another way, but I’m not giving up on the fact that I’m here to represent my mother’s best interest and her legacy across the board.’ And so when he has that kind of belief, he can do anything, because he’s got a purpose in his life. Now, he’s here to do a job and the job is to protect his mother’s legacy.”
