Billy Flynn
Days of our Lives star Billy Flynn teases what's ahead for Chad DiMera
"A lot of people are going to start to come after him," Flynn reveals. "He's going to have to figure out if he wants to stay in town and face up to maybe what he did, or is he going to run. Everybody keep watching. It's going to be a heck of a roller coaster the next couple of months."

"Phyllis is such a strong character and it does take a strong energy to play her. She's a fighter, and what's fantastic about that is I get to portray that energy and entertain people with it," said Tognoni, who took over the role on the CBS daytime soap opera last year.

As the WWE Turns
Writes Barry Hess: "Simply categorizing the current failures of this angle as the result of ‘soap opera booking’ is widely inaccurate. Furthermore, the implication that good storytelling and melodrama do not go hand in hand is both absurd and shortsighted. If that were true soap operas like General Hospital or The Young and the Restless would not be capable of surviving 40 and 50 years after first hitting the airwaves."

  1. I know Billy Flynn has a fan base, and many want to see his character be front burner non-stop, and the Abby/ Chad love story to take off swelling into Disney fairy tale overload; I'm not one of those people. I really feel it is obvious that Ben will be sacrificed as the serial killer. Fell it's lame of the writers to so switch up Ben after Chad starts sniffing around. OCC Ben's sudden rages, paranoid jealousy, is a really unfair why to prop up such a boring and unexciting couple as Chad and Abby.

    1. Ben seems like the obvious killer since they've chosen Chad as the wrongfully accused suspect to waste time on. I just hope the reveal and how it plays out has a few new beats we haven't seen before. So far I'm happy with who Ben has killed off. If he keeps offing my least favorite characters he may become my new fave. LOL

  2. LOL! Yes, Serena and Paige were characters without a future living in dead end storylines. We should also thank Ben for giving Kassie DePaiva something to do other then hate on Jen and JJ! (Although I'm sure she'll be back to it.) Her scene in the morgue.. wow!
    I personally am just not feeling Billy Flynn, so my biggest complaint with Ben, besides the completely OOC turn, is it means eventually lots more Chad.
