Emmy winner David Tom spoke with TV Guide Magazine in a new interview about his return to THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS as Billy Abbott on February 3. Tom, who played the part from 1999-2002, replaces Emmy winner Billy Miller who is leaving the show on January 30.

"It feels totally comfortable and I'm smiling from ear to ear," Tom told the magazine. It's like I'm still waiting to snap out of a dream. It's so great to be back working with Peter Bergman [Jack] and Jess Walton [Jill], again. When I left, Billy was more of a boy. Now I get to play him as an adult, with all his adult problems."

Tom also previewed what's ahead for the character of Billy.

"For now, he's furious that Adam did what he did and — even worse — kept it a secret."

Meanwhile, will Victoria (Amelia Heinle) find out about Billy's grief sex with Kelly (Cynthia Watros)?

"Something very big is going to happen with this. A fuse has been lit and it's getting closer and closer to an explosion."
