Young & Restless Surprise: Billy Says Those Three Little Worlds — No, Not Those Ones!
Saturday, April 24th, 2021
Lily’s been longing to hear those words.
In the Young & Restless preview for the week of April 26 – 30, Lily gets a surprise treat from Billy. Read on for the whole preview.
Billy comes to Lily’s door this week in a special preview and says those three little words every woman loves to hear… “I was wrong!” Then he adds a bonus of three more little words too… You’ve just got to watch the video!
What was Lily right about and Billy so wrong on? Well with Billy wrong about a lot of things a lot of the time, it could literally be anything! However, if we had to guess one thing it is about his ex-wife Victoria. Billy has been completely blind to what everyone else is starting to see, and that is that she wants him back!

Billy should have realized this when she tried to move heaven and earth to buy Cyraxes so Victor and Adam couldn’t use the company to destroy Billy and Chance Comm. Heck, he went so far as to thank her for the gesture by sending her flowers. Wrong move Billy! Even Nikki could see Victoria seemed smitten over the gift. And Victoria also gave Lily a subtle warning that she always gets what she wants. Has Billy finally opened his eyes? It doesn’t seem to matter, because in this preview he seems devoted to Lily. But when Victoria is involved, anything is possible.

<p>A highly successful child actor, Kristoff St. John had already appeared on series like <em>Wonder Woman</em>, <em>Happy Days</em>, <em>The Coby Show</em> and <em>The Bad News Bears</em> when he showed up on daytime TV’s radar. But his first stop <em>wasn’t</em> Genoa City.</p>

<p>In 1989, the future Emmy winner helped launch NBC’s <em>Generations</em> as that soap’s equivalent of Nick Newman, putting the “stud” in “studious” opposite appealing bookworms Nancy Sorel and Kelly Rutherford. When the show was cancelled after two years, <em>The Young and the Restless</em> recruited the up-and-comer to originate the role of Neil Winters.</p>

<p>In an attempt to steal away sister Olivia Barber’s fiancé, Drucilla pretended that she already had a boyfriend — then roped junior Jabot Cosmetics executive Neil into playing the part (and, for good measure, making a play for her sibling rival). Little did either of them realize at the time that they’d inadvertently started <em>fake</em>-dating their <em>real</em> love.</p>

<p>After Neil and Dru tied the knot in 1993, he reconnected with his estranged half brother, Malcolm — a mixed bag if ever there was one. On the plus side, Neil enjoyed family ties that he never had. On the minus, Malcolm shtupped Dru while she was too high on cold medicine to know what — or who! — she was doing. Not cool, bro. Not even remotely cool.</p>

<p>Following the birth of Malcolm’s daughter, Lily, Neil and Dru stuck a fork in their marriage. Not because of the baby’s paternity, mind you; Neil had no idea he shouldn’t be passing out cigars. Dru was just more interested in being a model than a wife and mom. Ironically, Neil next threw himself so wholeheartedly into a romance with Victoria Newman (then Heather Tom) that he was perfectly happy to raise her ex-husband’s child (who, sadly, left this world as quickly as she entered it).</p>

<p>Once Neil and Victoria ended their engagement, he got involved with the first woman in whom he’d been interested in Genoa City — now-<em>ex</em>-sister-in-law Olivia. He also came <em>thisclose</em> to having a fling with Malcolm’s fiancée, Alex Perez… which honestly, would have served him right.</p>

<p>When Dru brought Lily back to Genoa City in 2002, she hoped that Neil could help… you know, turn down the volume on her teenage angst. Instead, he wound up doing his best to intervene when Internet predator Kevin Fisher — who conveniently had a lawyer brother in Michael Baldwin — gave his little girl chlamydia!</p>

<p>When Neil and Dru remarried a year later, in attendance was daughter Lily… and the specter of the secret that she wasn’t actually the groom’s biological child. Thankfully, the vows only insisted that Dru love, honor and cherish Neil, not love, honor, cherish <em>and</em> be honest with him.</p>

<p>Reluctant as Neil might have been at first, he eventually warmed to Dru’s idea to add to the Winters family lost boy Devon Hamilton, first as a foster child, then as an adopted one. Mind you, he probably sorta regretted it later, when his son started boinking his subsequent wife, but that’s another story for… well, a few photos down.</p>

<p>In 2006, Neil at last learned that Malcolm, not he, was Lily’s father. It… uh… How do we put this? It didn’t go well. Neil and Dru split up, and he got involved with conniving Carmen Mesta, who soon wound up rocking a highly fashionable toe tag (thanks to Jana Hawkes, it bears mentioning, not the likeliest suspect — a jealous Dru).</p>

<p>Following <a href="https://soaps.sheknows.com/the-young-and-the-restless/news/593730/young-restless-drucilla-winters-death-anniversary-victoria-rowell-returning/" target="_blank">Dru’s (cough) “death,”</a> Neil dove into serious relationships with both alcohol and Karen Taylor. Neither one was going to work out great for him. One left him with horrendous headaches, and the other made him a jerk for cheating with Devon’s “aunt,” Tyra Hamilton — with whom Devon also wound up sleeping! (Foreshadowing, anyone? Everyone? That’s what we thought.)</p>

<p>No sooner had Neil realized that no one whose surname wasn’t Newman was ever going to sit in the big chair at Newman Enterprises — <em>and</em> taken the CEO gig at Chancellor Industries — than that company was “acquired” by boss Katherine Chancellor’s surprise son and Devon’s biodad, Tucker McCall. D’oh!</p>

<p>We’re sure that they’re was no, “Ha! Gotcha!” about it. But in 2011, Neil got it on with Malcolm’s latest fiancée, Sofia Dupre. (Welcome, Moses!) Eventually, Neil put a ring on it, but it must have been awfully loose, because it came back off within a matter of months.</p>

<p>Despite the fact that Hilary Curtis had made it her mission in life to destroy Neil and his family, he still found himself drawn to her — and c’mon, she <em>was</em> gorgeous. But even as she vowed to be true to him, she was having eye sex with her true love, Devon. And after Neil went blind… aw crap, they just started having <em>sex</em>-sex!</p>

<p>When the fit hit the shan, Neil once again hit the bottle — hard. One fateful evening, his friend Nikki Newman, a recovering alcoholic herself, attempted to drive him to an AA meeting. Unwilling to take even one of the 12 steps, he grabbed the steering wheel, causing the car to swerve directly into Christine Williams and put an end to the life that had only begun growing inside her.</p>

<p>When Lily’s twins constructed a family tree as a school project, one thing led to another — don’t they always? — and Neil wound up being reunited with his estranged mother, Lucinda (yes, that’s <em>Star Trek</em>’s Uhura, Nichelle Nichols). At last shaking off the antagonism that he’d harbored for decades, he forgave her for abandoning him after she confessed that they had something in common besides enviable bone structure and complicated pasts: She, too, was an alcoholic.</p>

<p>His life back in order, Neil reheated a romance with old flame Ashley Abbott. But his days, sadly, were numbered. At the opening of Devon’s new restaurant, Neil was a no-show — for the saddest possible reason. When his son went to check on him, he discovered that Neil had RSVP’d not to the gala but to the hereafter.</p>
