So the new guy's (the bar tender) sort of cute... He actually looks more like Billy than, well, Billy... While I still think the 'new' Billy is an improvement over the last one, they just can't seem to get it right with this character. Maybe they should quit trying. Write the character out and move on. The new Billy just seems older to me than Billy should seem and frankly, he isn't terribly appealing. The casting director really should set his or her sights beyond former General Hospital actors.

@stevieb, now that we see the direction they are taking this Billy, I see why this older looking immature Billy was chosen.  For a Phylis play mate.  I liked him when he was in a coma but as time has went on, no.  He's like an old looking young man.  No muscle tone and walks old with no energy.   Yes, I'm nitpicking, lol.  Phylis still should be too old for Billy if they went chronologially in real years.

Summary for Wednesday, May 4th from soaps.com:

At the penthouse, Adam is dreading going to Sage’s memorial service. Chelsea reassures him. Michael arrives. He’s the executor of Sage’s will and she named Adam in it. He’ll need to be present at the reading, which will be at Newman Towers after the memorial. Once alone, Adam worries to Chelsea that Sage’s bequest will have to do with Christian. He worries again that Victor told Sage about the DNA results. Chelsea tells him it doesn’t make sense for him to have done that. She also reminds him Sage didn’t have a vindictive bone in her body. Adam remains unconvinced, but decides they need to go to the service and will reading to see what’s in store.

At the Club, Lily takes a call from Dylan, who is going to be looking into Abby’s fall at her request. Abby arrives and Max tells her his father will never forgive her for what she said to him. Lily sends Max to play with Charlie, and then asks Abby why Stitch and Max are staying there. Abby knows she’s right about Max – all her instincts tell her so. Lily warns she could wreck her marriage with the accusations. In their suite, Summer and Luca are in bed. She has to get ready for Sage’s service. He offers to come with her, but she thinks her dad has enough to deal with today. In the dining room, Luca introduces himself to Devon, and tells him he’s looking for new opportunities in Genoa City. Devon wishes him luck. He approaches Lily and Abby, who says that if she’s right, they need to get Max help. She walks off, and Lily fills Devon in on Dylan’s investigation. He tells her to give Dylan whatever he needs as Max listens and flashes to pocketing the fishing line. Max tells Charlie they’re going to play a new game and challenges him to steal the master key card. Nearby, Luca runs down Victoria to someone on the phone, and thanks the person for their loyalty on behalf of Victor and himself. Later, Max uses the master key card to get into the office where the security footage is kept. Meanwhile, Lily and Devon discuss the situation with Abby when the alarm goes off. Lily demands to know if Charlie or Max had anything to do with it.

At Nick’s apartment, he tells Faith the memorial service today will be a chance to say goodbye to Sage. It will be sad, but they can share memories. Faith notes she’s in heaven now, with Christian. Later, Summer and Noah arrive. Nick sends Faith upstairs and talks about the Newman curse with them. Noah agrees, but Summer is proud to be a Newman and there’s no curse. Nick decides she’s right and they embrace.

At home, Dylan asks Sharon why she’s not ready to go to Sage’s service. Sharon tells him she’s not going; she can’t. Dylan makes a speech about how kind Sharon was to let Sage take comfort in their son. He knows she’s having a hard time, but she should come to honor Sage and to be there for Faith. Sharon agrees.

Nikki arrives at Newman Enterprises to go to the service with Victoria, who tells her today should be about Nicholas, which is why she wants to get this off her chest now. She confronts Nikki about handing over her vote. She rants at Nikki that Victor thinks he’s in prison because of them instead of the crimes he’s committed. She complains about him using the power to sell Brash & Sassy, which was bought by Billy, of all people. Nikki talks about how she felt at the prison visit and is so sorry that he used her to hurt Victoria. Nikki is sure he’ll never forgive her.

In the state pen infirmary, Victor offers to help Meredith Gates see things from her father’s point of view. They talk about his children looking for forgiveness. Gates thinks he’s going out of his way to antagonize them. They bicker. She thinks there can’t be any healing unless Victor admits he’s done something wrong. He concedes he misses his family today since they are mourning his son’s wife. Victor is heartbroken he can’t be there, and asks Meredith to go in his place. He wants her to tell Nick he cares about him very much. She says she can’t get involved in his personal life. Victor sheds a few tears. Later, Luca visits Victor. He tells him if he really wants to do some damage to those who’ve wronged him, he needs someone on the inside. Victor realizes he means himself. He assures him he can still pull strings from jail. “Get out of my face.”

At Chancellor Park, everyone gathers for the memorial service. Nick asks Adam not to blame himself because of the phone call. Nikki wonders why Sharon didn’t bring Sully. Nick interrupts – he thinks Sage is looking down and smiling right now. Sharon’s eyes widen. The service begins. Faith shares a memory of Sage and speaks about her being with Christian now. Faith wants Sharon to speak, but she thinks Adam should talk. Nick agrees. Adam gets up and makes a nice speech about their friendship and how much Sage loved Nick. When Nick gets up, Meredith Gates slips in the back. He talks about embracing life to the fullest, but has no idea how he’ll do that. Nick starts to rage. Nikki rushes out with Faith. Nick hollers and cries about losing his son and Sage. Sharon stands up. “Nick, you’re wrong! You’re not alone!”

A Look Ahead to Thursday, May 5th:

Abby tells Stitch she thinks Max set the fire.

Marisa visits Victor and tells him Luca is only using Summer to get his hooks into the Newman family.

Luca’s goon tells him he isn’t going to like what he found out.

@loveschocolate  You are amazing and wonderful to do this for us....you do know that...right?  Thanks again!

So, Marisa is showing up and Adam?  Good grief!  They're pulling out all of the stops (money-wise paying these other actors, now that Sage isn't being paid).  Sorry!  

You know I was thinking how much they've changed the character of Billy.  I know I've said that before, but what a change!  He's so mean and vindictive these days!

This show seems to be flopping everywhere.  They no longer have a real lead actor (like the way Katherine used to be).  Even Victor isn't around much.....wait!  He is holding court in jail.

Never have I seen a jail like he's in!  Good grief!  He has more visitors than he did when he was in his office!  It's like a revolving door.  So even Marisa is visiting him now?

How does that kid think he's going to get away with setting the fire?  He must realize Charlie is going to tell he was the one who talked him into giving him the key card.....

I'm soooo curious on how this is going to play out when it comes out that Christian is alive and then that he's Adam's kid.  I think at first Adam will be able to let Nick think he's his kid but eventually, he'll want to claim him for his own.  This will make Adam (once again, through no fault of his own) a person everyone will hate.  Sharon's marriage will hit the rocks.

What do you guys think?  Come on give me some of your ideas.  You guys (especially some of you are way better than I am).  Remember, I'm the one who got everything about Stitch (whom I still can't stand) all wrong!  That's his Demon seed kid there!

[loveschocolate]

@Annabellethecat66, well, the secret won't come out of Sharon's mouth! Either the nurse will spill the beans or Sully/Christian will have that eye disease that Adam had.

I want demon boy to get caught soooo bad!

Billy is mean and vindictive. Such a huge turn a round from what he used to be. Him and Phyllis will be the perfect couple.

Poor Jack.

Lily says to Abby, “Max is a kid. What you’re accusing him of, that’s the kind of thing that can wreck a marriage.”

Max lets himself into a darkened office and looks up at a computer screen.

Wow. Now we have a kid that's more clever than all of the adults literally getting away with murder. AND I'm angry that Sage died before exposing Sharron. "Hated it." Now the writers will play around with THAT storyline indefinitely like all of the rest of them. Have the writers closed out ONE storyline in the past year that made sense?

@stevieb So I was watching a few minutes of the show I love to hate (Ha!) "The Talk" and Julie had on there people representing some of the Emmy winners.  There were 3 from General Hospital.  I know often just because in DC one is on channel 4 and the other channel 9 (local stations) they can still be 'held' by the same companies.

I've found that (for the most part) The Talk only has on people and shows that are on the channel as she is on.  I found this General Hospital thing interesting.  Must be the same something or other or she wouldn't have them on.

Julie did talk about Kelly and Michael and said they are now in a 'love fest' since they won an Emmy.  I just can't stand the way they dig up so much 'dirt' on everyone EXCEPT them.

Oh!  By the way!  I didn't see it here, speaking of digging up dirt, I saw where Alisha (sp) on The Talk after 20 years is getting a divorce.  She has been on Criminal Minds now for this entire last season.  I wonder if her working so much had an issue with her marriage.  It's always sad when people get a divorce, especially after so many years.

Of course, I'm off topic.  Aren't you glad you don't know me personally?  I go from one thing to another in person too!  Ha!

@Annabellethecat66

Where did you see this?    I really like her and she has always spoken so warmly of her husband.   Well, the Kerry Washington divorce was false ... maybe this is, too.

I hate to say it but Max is a creepy little kid.

@Jessa9

This Max is a real devil child .... and Stitch will be the last to know.    I hope they have Max on tape, prior to Abby's fall.

Here's another one:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3541103/Aisha-Tyler-s-estranged-husband-Jeff-Tietgens-f...

It's true.  So sad when anyone gets divorced unless one or the other is abussive and in this case it seems (who knows) like it maybe was fertility that CONTRIBUTED but like I said, she was also on Criminal Minds as a regular too.

She has always seemed so level headed (and I think she is) compared to some.
