There are plenty of fans rooting for The Young and the Restless’ relationship between Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally (Courtney Hope). The two originally bonded as their respective partners at the time, Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) and Adam (Mark Grossman), became less present in the relationships as they helped Conner (Judah Mackey) cope with his OCD diagnosis. Then, once Chelsea and Adam cheated on them, Billy and Sally further connected as spurned lovers.
It wasn’t long before #Silly became the hot new couple in Genoa City, and Billy and Sally were ready to ride off into the proverbial sunset. Sadly for the duo, we suspected they were going to have one huge obstacle to overcome if they wanted to be together — Phyllis (Michelle Stafford).
Despite telling anyone who will listen that she doesn’t have feelings for Billy and is not jealous of his relationship with Sally, Phyllis clearly has a thing for her ex. (It’s funny that Summer [Allison Lanier] is currently taking the same course of action when it comes to Kyle [Michael Mealor], but we digress).
In the aftermath of Phyllis’ ordeal of being held hostage in a twisted social experiment thanks to Alan/Martin (Christopher Cousins), and subsequently rescued by Billy and Nick (Joshua Morrow), we can’t shake the nagging suspicion that Billy’s true feelings for Phyllis just arose to the surface, and his relationship with Sally is doomed. Sure he probably loves Sally too, but she’s not Phyllis.
