The Young and the Restless RUMOR: Sharon and Billy Betrayed – New Y&R Couple

Sharon (Sharon Case) and Billy (Jason Thompson) were both wronged on ‘The Young and the Restless’. Nick (Joshua Morrow) and Phyllis (Gina Tognoni) reconnected because they felt spurned by their significant others. While ‘Phick’ is being presented as the couple that potentially reunites, what if the other pairing happens?

‘Shilly’, hmm? Devoted fans know that Sharon and Billy (as then played by Billy Miller) took place a number of years ago, however briefly. That was during one of Sharon’s off-course periods and while Billy’s addiction had control of him.

It seemed unlikely, but Phyllis has actually been good for Billy. He’s had his gambling problem under control, until this summer. Plus, Phyllis was the force that drove his ascent to become the head of Jabot.

Sharon is centered, as of this summer, 2018. So her potential link to Billy wouldn’t likely result from a rushed, reckless choice. Instead, Case’s legacy character and the alter ego that Thompson is playing with skillful flair could become kindred souls, bound together by circumstances Nick and Phyllis engendered.

The video game scene at Summer’s (Hunter King) condo instantly evoked memories of Morrow’s character and the classic Phyllis version, as then embodied by icon Michelle Stafford, engaged in regular digital battle. ‘Phick’ played around in varying ways back then, which initially served to crush Sharon’s soul. Now, all these years later, Nick has crossed his first true love from another direction.

Sharon may, or may not be able to forgive Nick’s latest indiscretion with Phyllis. If she does or doesn’t, it’s natural to believe that she and Billy will discuss the matter and possibly, bound again as well.

The idea of ‘Shilly’, where Thompson is swapped out for Miller, is intriguing. It could easily be written that way, considering current character circumstances.

Daytime head fakes are needed, as loyal viewers find fresh take interesting. Why revisit old ground? Instead, explore this proposed remix if Y&R actually doesn’t want ‘Shick’s’ repairing and believes ‘Philly’ should end.
