It sounds a bit like a new take on the Hokey Pokey, but at The Young and the Restless there will soon be one Tom in and one Tom out.
As previousle reported,
David Tom (
Billy Abbott) opted not to re-sign a full-term contract with the show. However, the actor did agree to a 13-week extension that will keep him at work through mid-July --- and allow the writers to wrap up his character's story.
A source says that Billy will be sent off to an out-of-town college after graduation.
Tom joined the show in June 1999.
The role of Billy will not be recast.
Tom's sister,
Heather Tom (
Victoria Newman), will, however, be remaining on Y&R. The actress recently signed a new four-year contract with the show.
"I am very happy we could come to terms," announced Tom.
