Billy once again has lost Chancellor on The Young and the Restless. While it’s a major setback for Mr. Abbott, he’s not down and out just yet. A possible offer from Phyllis could have him back on top in no time.
Key Takeaways
- Billy gained control of Chancellor during Phyllis’ takeover of Newman.
- Phyllis relinquished Chancellor back to Victor in exchange for Jack’s safety.
- While his brother is safe, Billy lost his beloved company.
Another Door Opens
For years, Billy (Jason Thompson) has been obsessed with regaining Chancellor. He finally got the company when he teamed with Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) for the Newman takeover. However, Billy’s time at Chancellor was brief as it now belongs to Victor (Eric Braeden) again.
Victor kidnapped Billy’s brother Jack (Peter Bergman) and used him as a bargaining chip to regain Chancellor. Although Phyllis was hesitant at first, she agreed to Victor’s deal for Billy’s and The Abbotts’ sakes.
Yet, Phyllis’ good deed came at the worst possible time. Just as Phyllis and Victor agreed to a deal, Jack was rescued. When Billy informed Phyllis of the news, she dropped the Chancellor bombshell on him.
Needless to say, Billy was upset with Phyllis’ decision. So with him losing Chancellor again, the question is: what’s next for Billy Boy?
Some fans on Reddit think Billy would make a good fit at Newman Enterprises. “Wouldn’t that be a way to get back at Victor if Billy gets a big office at Newman? Would also allow Phyllis to right the wrong of giving away Chancellor,” the original poster wrote.
While it’s an interesting idea, given Billy’s behavior, some fans don’t see it happening. “Billy doesn’t want to work FOR anyone, not even when he has a stake in the company, like Jabot.”
”Billy wants Chancellor plain and simple. I just don’t see him compromising,” one viewer replied.
Business Roulette
Billy working at Newman isn’t out of the question. Phyllis will feel guilty about giving away Chancellor and offer Billy an executive role to make up for it.
If Billy were to come onboard at Newman, it’d anger Victor and Victoria (Amelia Heinle). Billy’s already on their bad sides because of the takeover. While they scored a victory reclaiming Chancellor, Billy could get the ultimate revenge by helping Phyllis run Newman.
Although Newman seems the number one place for Billy, there’s also Spectra Charles. After Billy gave Sally (Courtney Hope) control of Newman Media, she merged it with Abbott Communications. Now that Billy and Sally are back together, they can prove they’re a power couple with their new venture.
Then of course, there’s Chancellor. Odds are, Billy isn’t ready to give up the company. Since Victor likes to play dirty, Billy could also go down that route. Billy could blackmail Victor or find a loophole to make The Moustache give up Chancellor.
Wherever Billy ends up remains to be seen. However, one thing that is certain is that The Abbotts’ feud with Victor isn’t ending anytime soon.
