Traci Advises Newlywed-To-Be Billy
Maitland is back onscreen as the Abbotts gear up for a big celebration. Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding is just around the corner, with final preparations in place.
Although Traci’s happy for her brother, she’s also concerned about him. With his wedding, a baby, giving up Chancellor, and his estrangement with Jill (Lauren Koslow), Billy has a lot on his plate.
Before his big day, Traci visits Billy to make sure he’s okay. Billy will have much to get off his chest as he explains the latest drama in his life.
Traci will undoubtedly try to calm her brother and advise him on how to handle his problems. Billy tends to be stubborn, but Traci wants what’s best for Billy, Sally, and her niece or nephew. Although her brother thinks he has everything under control, it’s obvious he doesn’t.
But with Traci’s help, he could get his life back on track and possibly prevent his wedding from turning into a disaster. All he needs to do is listen to his sister’s advice.
