Y&R: New Role for Miller

The Young and the Restless has announced that Billy Miller's (ex-Richie, All My Children) first airdate will be Sept. 19. However, he will not be playing Billy Abbott (son of John and Jill), which had been widely reported, including here. Instead he has been cast in a new role, that of Liam, a mysterious boyfriend of Amber's (Adrienne Frantz). Now if Liam turns out to be Billy Abbott with a new face, my head is going to explode ...

Hey, as long as he's on the show, I don't care who he's playing -- I'm eagerly awaiting this talented actor's debut!
