Victoria and Sally’s Friendship Blossoms?
On Christmas Eve, Victoria (Amelia Heinle) visited Billy’s (Jason Thompson) with their kids, Johnny (Paxton Mishkind) and Katie (Sienna Mercuri). While Billy is occupied with the kids and decorating, Victoria and Sally sit on the couch, talking.
Victoria admitted that she’s worried about Billy. She feared that he was not “new and improved,” despite his claims to the contrary. Sally agreed and says she’s been worried about him as well. She knew that he had been trying to work on himself.
However, the hurt from Jill (Jess Walton) still cuts deep. Billy’s hatred for Victor (Eric Braeden) is bubbling to the surface. Sally wondered if Billy had ever felt peace in his life rather than anger for others.
What Does Sally Feel About Billy?
Sally admitted that their feelings for each other are real. Additionally, he swore to her that he had let go of his anger and was now only focused on the positive aspects, such as the success of Abbott Communications.
But Sally has been triggered by her childhood trauma. Her father is similar to Billy in that he would gamble away his family’s debts. Sally also recalled the times when he would numb himself with alcohol.
Victoria asked Sally an important question. Was she trying to love Billy, or was she trying to save him from himself? Sally shared a story of when her father promised her a sewing machine, which never happened.
Neither the gift nor her father was there on Christmas Day. Meanwhile, Billy listened to Sally’s confession from the hallway with a stoic expression. Sally told Victoria that Billy had promised her an incredible future with Abbott Communications, but she feared it could all be gone tomorrow.
