Victoria and Kyle’s Relationship is Thompson-Approved
In an exclusive interview with Soap Opera Digest, Thompson shared his candid thoughts on Victoria’s (Amelia Heinle) and Kyle’s (Michael Mealor) love affair. He’s excited for his own character to learn about their relationship sometime.
It seemed like it was about to happen on the Tuesday, October 27 episode. Billy (Thompson) surprised Victoria at her place in London. Kyle froze out of her place on the balcony while Billy updated his ex about his mom, Jill (Jess Walton).
Thompson exclaimed that the idea of Billy catching them “is an embarrassment of riches, and there is so much more for me to play!” Billy is unlikely to like the idea of his ex-wife hooking up with his nephew.
However, Thompson is on board with their affair. He noted the chemistry between them. “I’m a big fan of Michael, and I absolutely adore Amelia, and watching them, I think they’re great together, and I totally believe it,” Thompson said. He’s sold.
How Will Billy Catch Victoria and Kyle?
Thompson feels that this storyline could have potential between the characters. He feels that it’s “so layered and so weighted,” and that when Billy finds out, it’s “going to blow his mind.”
The GH vet already has the perfect idea in mind. He spoke to Y&R’s Executive Producer, Sally McDonald, about how it should happen. In Thompson’s mind, Billy has long moved on from Victoria.
He wants to add Victoria’s daughter, Claire (Hayley Erin), to the mix. “Not only just Billy finding out, but Claire, too! There are so many layers to the story, and I feel like we’re in a really great flow with all the things we’ve got coming up,” the actor teased.
Thompson’s already dealing with a lot with his character. Billy just married Sally (Courtney Hope) and welcomed a baby girl, Ruby, into the world.
Meanwhile, he’s managing his mom’s health crisis and butting heads with Cane (Billy Flynn), again. Thompson said he feels “grateful” to be so “engaged” with the soap.
