Billy’s Power Play
Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) swears he is winning these days. After digging up some major dirt, he thinks he has hit absolute paydirt! He learned that the Abbotts are actually in control of Chancellor Industries. That news is definitely not going to sit well with Cane (Billy Flynn) and Lily (Christel Khalil). In fact, if they can do anything about it, they will!
Sure, Lily will argue that she is the one in charge, but Billy does not see it that way. When Billy feels like he is on top, you know he goes all out! That being said, he doubles down with Cane and Lily in a tense face-off.
The Abbott Sisters in Shock
While Billy is busy causing trouble, his brother Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) is busy updating the rest of the Abbott clan. Over at Jabot, Jack brings his sisters Ashley (Eileen Davidson) and Traci (Beth Maitland) up to speed on what is happening behind the scenes.
Sure enough, Ashley and Traci are going to be in complete shock! But will they actually support Billy’s next wild move, or will they try to stop him before he goes too far?
Stephanie Simmons Pushes for Nate
Y&R spoilers for August 17 also tease that Stephanie Simmons (Vivica A. Fox) is back on the scene. She is in support of Nate (Sean Dominic) returning to medicine in a big way.
After all, she is the new Chief of Staff at Genoa City Memorial Hospital! She would love nothing more than for Nate to join the team there. To that end, she goes the extra mile to help Nate make his big return to the medical field.
