On the April 2 episode of The Young and the Restless, Billy told Jack that if his latest business venture fails, he will have no one to blame but himself. That doesn’t sound like our Billy. We feel pretty confident that by the time that inevitable failure comes around, he will have a long list of people to point fingers at…none of whom are himself. Who will those people be? Oh, let us count them all!
Victor Newman
Everything that goes wrong in Billy’s (Jason Thompson) life is eventually traced back to Victor (Eric Braeden). (Can you imagine how different Genoa City would be if Billy turned out to be Victor’s son back in the day?)
Once this happens, expect Billy to whine that he only failed because Victor and Adam (Mark Grossman) competed with him and won. If they hadn’t competed with him, then Billy would have won. It’s unfair. How dare they be better at business than Billy is?

Jill Abbott
Bad enough that Jill (Jess Walton) was a lousy mother — and she was, though more to poor Philip than Billy — but then she wouldn’t let Billy run a company that wasn’t his, to begin with. If she had, Billy would still have high self-esteem, and he wouldn’t have failed now. Like he did then. But his mommy should have pretended not to notice.

The Women
Sally (Courtney Hope) didn’t believe enough in Billy. In that way, she was no better than Victoria (Amelia Heinle). And Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) believed in Billy, but she didn’t believe in Aristotle Dumas, and that lowered Billy’s self-esteem even worse than Jill. If only he had a loyal woman by his side, Billy never would have failed! Like he has before.
Jack Abbott
But, in the end, the worst offender was Jack (Peter Bergman). How dare he give Billy millions of dollars to get his company up and running but then refuse to keep throwing good money after bad? Jack owes Billy for…for…for being Jack.
If Jack won’t step aside from their father’s company and let Billy run it into the ground, then he should, at least, support Billy’s efforts to do that with his own company. What are brothers for???
