I'm gonna get destroyed for saying this, but I honestly don't think Billy Miller is that good. He's not bad at all, but I feel like he can't do subtle emotions and he just messes with his face way too much. It's really distracting and annoying. There, now if you excuse me I'm going to run like hell.

Thanks for reading our comments.

I would have wrote stuff for my choices if I knew you were going to read them. Next time I will explain my choices.

As for those picking Daniel Goddard...I'm sorry but his breakdown fell FLAT for me. It did nothing for me besides making me want to shut off my tv. Did a tear even drop from his eye? It was a hot mess at best. He just didn't do it for me. It was hard to watch that mess.
That girl who plays Daisy is just a mess. A H.A.M. if u know what I mean.

I picked the girl who plays Danielle on OLTL as my performer because I really like her and when she was going at it with Tea I was like dang. Why can't we get good younger actors on Y&R. Nobody else really stood out for me OLTL, B&B, and Y&R. I remembered her performance so that's why I chose her as POW.

Thanks for the shout-out Jillian & Mel! I usually am not a fan of Daniel Goddard, but when he broke down it really got to me. Maybe it was why he was crying that got to me instead of Daniel Goddard's acting.

I forgot about Farah Fath! You're so right Mel, she was awful playing drunk! She was spitting in poor Scott Clifton's face when she was attempting to slur her words. It was the first time that Farah Fath's hair wasn't the main distraction in the scene.

Jillian, you're gonna have to come after me as well since I don't think Billy Miller is all THAT either.

YAY!!! Farah Fath got called out. You deserve it girl, now go get drunk and videotape yourself.

Clementine Ford is so darn awful, no emotion whatsoever. Why is she still there? Is it because of her mom? I'm thinking it is because I can't think of another valid reason for her still having a job.

I think that Billy Miller is the best recast on Y&R, but I think that the material that they are giving him or the dialogue is bringing him down. BM is charismatic and make the show for me because the other young actors except for Elizabeth Henderson, Michael Grazidei, Bryant James, Greg Rikarrt, and to certainly instant Adrianne Frantz are the only ones that are good, John Driscoll, Clementine Ford, Christel Khalil, and Daniel Goddard are not bringing it for me so I think that BM is the best younger actor on Y&R.

Billy Miller is hands down the best younger actor or it might not be correct to say young because he is 30, well I guess younger actor is fine. I will say this he is the best actor in his age group on the show. HANDS DOWN! I don't like what the writers are doing with him though. They are making him out to be the bad guy and then having characters like Daniel, Amber, Kevin, and Jana throw stones when they don't have squeaky clean backgrounds. That's what I don't get. It makes no sense.

If it's true that Meredith Hagner is leaving ATWT I'll be very sorry, UNLESS she gets snagged by DAYS as a Mia recast. Wouldn't THAT be sweet! I'm afraid our Mia has earned herself a dishonorable check box alongside Clementine Ford. What a shame that Bonnie Dennison's and Caitlin Van Zandt's check box spots were not vacant for long.

I watch all CBS shows.
ATWT Performer of the Week: Maura West on Monday was FABULOUS!

Honorable Mention: Emily and Paul are the only stable couple on this show and I love it.

Dishonorable Mentions:
Casey... (please recast with Daniel Cosgrove), Alison ( Please recast with Marcy Rylan)

This show needs to have amazing actors in actresses in their early 20s/30s. They want viewers 18-34 but have no viable characters in that demographic. By replacing those two with GL's Bill and Lizzie will bring over more viewers, maybe not a lot but it would easily surpass OLTL and AMC in the ratings.

ATWT is my absolute favorite show on CBS an it has been must-see when it has not been in years. If they are in it to when it they should recast Casey and Allison with Bill and Lizzie.
