Billy Abbott is a fictional character from The Young and the Restless, an American soap opera on the CBS network. Created by William J. Bell as the son of John Abbott (Jerry Douglas) and Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), the character is currently portrayed by Jason Thompson. The character is known for being a "spoiled rich boy," a "screw up," and for his gambling addictions and consumption of alcohol.
Billy Abbott was introduced during the July 7, 1993, episode. For the character's first six-year period, he appeared as a minor, portrayed by various child actors. In 1999, David Tom began portraying Billy as a teenager. Tom was acclaimed for his portrayal, winning a Daytime Emmy Award in 2000. In 2002, Tom opted not to renew his deal with the soap and the role was recast with Ryan Brown. Brown only portrayed the role for a year after he was let go in a storyline-dictated departure. In 2006, Scott Seymour began playing the character; however, he too was let go after three months.
Two years later in 2008, Billy Miller took over the role until his exit in 2014. Miller's performance in the role was popular with audiences and critics, and garnered him two wins of the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series in 2010 and 2013, and one a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 2014. In 2014, David Tom returned to the role following Miller's exit; his return was short-lived when he was replaced by Burgess Jenkins the same year. In 2015, Jenkins announced his decision to depart the soap. Thompson first appeared in the role on January 13, 2016. Thompson has received critical acclaim for his performances in the role, winning Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series in 2020, and earning another nomination in 2022.
