Two of Genoa City’s most prominent figures, Bryton James (Devon Winters) and Canadian actor Jason Thompson (Billy Abbott), recently took a break from the boardroom battles and dramatic love triangles of The Young and the Restless to visit Toronto.
The actors, whose characters are often at odds—whether over business deals at Chancellor-Winters or their mutual disdain for rival Cane Ashby (now played by Billy Flynn) – sat down with The TV Watercooler for a candid chat.
During the conversation, the stars delved into the fun of on-screen conflict, with Thompson noting that bringing back characters like Cane is a welcome disruption that creates “more drama, which is a good thing.”
The interview also touched on major career milestones, including Thompson’s decade-long run as Billy Abbott following a successful tenure as Dr. Patrick Drake on General Hospital, and James’s incredible 22 years on Y&R. They offered teasers on upcoming storylines and shared insights into the collaborative and joyful atmosphere that keeps the classic soap opera running strong.
