Kelly Says She’s Heartbroken Over Billy Leaving GH
In a rare social media post, Kelly tweeted as follows regarding Billy’s “decision to leave GH” which may she implies may not have been his decision: “I feel like I have to address this situation. #BillyMiller ‘s untimely departure from #gh. Honestly, I can not come up with the words to describe how I feel about this decision… a decision that may not be what our audience thinks to be true. I’m heartbroken… more to come.”
Billy and Kelly as Jason And Sam Became A Controversial Topic Among Fans
When Billy came on as “the new Jason Morgan” in 2014, fans of Steve Burton’s (the “old” Jason Morgan) nearly immediately started becoming militant that no one could replace Steve as Jason Morgan. Of course, what those fans do not understand is that actors may not want to be typecast as one character or character type, and may want to expand their acting repertoire and spread their wings. Others stay in the same role for years if possible because it provides job security.
When Steve left, it was his choice, although fans were confused at his reasoning of wanting to be closer to his family, who all had moved to the Nashville, Tennessee area only to see him show up on the CBS soap The Young and The Restless as Dylan McAvoy not too long afterwards; since that time the Burtons moved back closer to Hollywood. The “JASAM” fans would attack Billy and Kelly on social media, and they basically got tired of it and stopped using social media, Billy entirely and Kelly only occasionally. Kelly’s tweet shows this is a major upset for her.

Billy’s Departure Has Been Publicized As His Decision
Billy’s departure has been publicized as his decision, and he didn’t say he was fired in his letter that his agent, Marnie Sparer, and to requote Billy, this is what he wrote: “Hello Friends,
With a slight air of sadness, it is time to ponder what “Goodbye” means. However, instead of dwelling on what is gone and sure to be missed, there is another way. Maybe our goodbye is really a remembrance of love felt, an appreciation for lives shared, and the lifelong reminisces that come from embraces and received. Maybe our goodbye is an earnest hope for the brightest path forward for us all.
Now, instead of sadness, I am filled with gratitude for all your support, encouragement, and every emotion shared. I cherish the journey we have taken together. Thank you for allowing me into your home and lives. With every ounce of myself, I thank you for being you. I would be remiss in this crazy, unpredictable world we all love so much if I did not hold out the possibility that maybe our goodbye is really…UNTIL NEXT TIME

All My Love,
Billy Miller.” As General Hospital fans can see, Billy doesn’t say one way or another but only thanks his fans for their love and conveys his love for them.
Billy And Kelly Are At The Least Besties In Real Life, Suspected To Be More
Although neither Billy nor Kelly have ever confirmed it, they may be much more than just close friends in real life, and when they were posting on their social media prior to all the JASAM camp attacks, there were plenty of pictures that seemed to confirm it.
Assuming then that they are in touch in real life and not just set mates, Kelly’s heart and desire to tell Billy’s truth of his separation from General Hospital when maybe he feels uncomfortable about telling what really may have happened and taking up for Billy in this way may prove that there is more to the story of his leaving GH than what has been told. As she wrote “more to come” we will definitely be keeping an eye out on what else Kelly has to say about the matter.
Stay tuned to General Hospital and keep checking General Hospital spoilers frequently for all the latest news, updates and developments!
Yes I will miss Billy Miller. He is a good actor. And I sure hope Kelly stays friends with him.
I love Billy Miller. Am heartbroken over the way GH has treated him. NO more GH for me.
I will miss Billy terribly! Just reading about Steve Burton playing Billy in the story of finding his memories makes me heartbroken! Billy Miller is such a talented actor and he deserved to play the character out!
More than words can say. An Emmy Winning Lead Actor deserves better than GH. But, it’s expected they let go of Laura, Liz, Nicholas, Connie and so on. Dumb as hell. Guess it’s time for GH to bring back Brenda and fire six actors to pay her salary like they last time. Big mistake he was an amazing actor who had crazy chemistry with Kelly Monaco.
Yes More Than Words Can Say I Love Billy Miller. I’m Heartbroken Over The Way General Hospital Has Treated Billy Miller. I Wish Billy Miller As Drew Cain Did Not Have To Leave General Hospital.
Billy Miller is the BEST !!!
Will really Miss him , bummer.
Really Big Loss for GH.
stupid move on GH part.
How you get your facts rights. She’s not his girlfriend, he had a girlfriend and Kelly isn’t it. Oh btw him and his shitty acting will not be missed on gh
When Steven Burton came back to GH, they got rid of Hayden and Dylan. Let’s see who is fired if and when Tyler Christopher returns.
Billy is a good actor however he just could not play the role of Jason Morgan like Steve did. What may have been conspired is through Billy fault his acting was not up to par and to have another actor come to his defense was uncalled for. Whatever is behind the scenes should stay there. So as far as I am concerned I will not miss him, I did love him as Billy Abbott on Y&
R maybe he should return there.
Am extremely heartbroken, I will always miss Billy Miller. So sad, he’s leaving GH. He should to stay GH. I felt so bad for Kelly, I can see their relationship are serious each other and happy couples.
Stop making assumptions you do not know the real truth.
Stop your nonsense.
Yes good actor what a waste of a talent they need better writers
Absolutely!! Unfortunately I was one of those fans that threw a fit when Steve Burton left and then Billy Miller showed up, but I have come to love him!! He is a wonderful addition to the cast and his scenes with all the characters have been wonderful, especially with Oscar!! For the producers and writers to write him out is asinine!! I can only assume that they don’t care anything about the fans at all! This is another reason to finally abandon GH!! Sorry cast, but enough is enough!!
Frank kowtowed to Burton’s bullying & fired Billy Miller. It’s well-known that Miller & Monaco are in a relationship. Burton made some kind of vile move against Kelly & Miller went after Burton. It’s been downhill for them ever since. Kinda ironic that Miller was so kind to Burton when Phelps brought him in at Y&R, then Phelps turns around and dumps Miller & Muhney to make her boy toy the star of the show. Burton is a total creep.
Burton tells Frank what to do. The Mouse House made a huge mistake when they brought Stevie B back. The ratings for GH are in the toilet. ABC can’t be happy
When Billy Miller first came on the show, I was not sure that it would work. I had been a long time viewer and thought that he could not replace the previous actor. The transformation of the character from John Doe to Drew Cain became his own character and not the previous actor. Both actors are excellent in my opinion and I think it would of been an asset for General Hospital to explore the memory aspect. It is a shame that we will not see the future talents of Billy Miller on General Hospital. Hopefully, he will again shine elsewhere. I do give the writers credit for the storyline that transformed but Billy pulled the transformation to reality for the show.
I think who ever fired Billy Miller has poor judgment should not be working at all, that’s the reason why people stop watching the show anyway
Yes I will miss him, seems we just get used to someone and you guys give then the boot.
yes I will miss him but if Y&R are taking people back then maybe it would be nice to have him go back and play the part of Billy Abbott again –it’s rumored that Patrick is leaving the show and if he came back to GH then maybe he can be the one to bring back Franco’s memories –Dr. Drake did work in that field–time will tell —— good luck Billy no matter where you go –I liked you in both shows—-
I’m going to miss Billy Miller, the the writers has treated him so badly, I would have stopped Watching GH long ago but it was Billy Miller that kept me a fan. So the last day of his day on The I will leave as well. I will no longer be watching GH, and neither will my friends…
Miller has a longtime girlfriend, and it isn’t Kelly Monaco. Kelly and Billy are best friends, and that’s what social media shows – contrary to what you wrote in your article. Rita, it’s 2019: It’s perfectly normal for males and females to be friends while not having a sexual relationship. Please try being more responsible with what you report. There is more to the story behind Miller’s exit, but it’s more HR-related, about ethical objections to the behaviors of and treatment of staff by one or more producers on GH.
Clarification: objections to producers’ conduct / treatment of certain GH staff.
I agree with your comments, except on this: Miller & Monaco have a strong brother-sister relationship. They are both public figures, so they’re good with letting that friendship be seen. But they keep their romantic lives private, since they are / were each involved with private individuals (not public figures).
He does have a long time girlfriend, KELLY MONACO.
I don’t know where you got your info, Billy Miller played a better Jason Morgan then Steve Burton, could ever hope to have, and Billy and Kelly had great chemistry.they are great together. Your loss writers, and soon GH fans !!!!
No, that’s not correct. They are best friends. Kelly and his girlfriend, whose name is kept private (and whose name is not Kelly), get along very well. It’s 2019. Believe it or not, men & women can be close friends while somehow not having intercourse. Kelly’s advocating for him is based on doing what’s right & her being of good character, not based on some romantic pining-away.
I agree wholeheartedly love Billy Miller/as Drew Cain
Well known by who? Steve Burton is a happily married man with 3 kids. What vile move? You are the total creep. I can see you are a Miller fan and not a Burton Fan, just by your post and you are projecting your hate for SB on whatever happened BTS. Burton and Miller were fine playing together on YR. Miller left YR because they would not work with him with time off to do other projects. GH did, he only signed 1 yr contracts. He told Burton he was going to take the role of JM when it was offered and Burton told him he thought he would be a great JM and wished him well. He even said Jason Quartermaine/Morgan was an integral part of GH and knew the role would eventually be recast. He left YR bc he finally had a chance to start Burton Nutrition. GH asked SB back after he won his emmy for YR and he reciprocated by letting BM know he was coming back. They were all fine. It is the fans who are speculating . You can see from BM acting during the Oscar sl. . Even his co stars had issues with him . Notice no big fanfare when he left, right? Because half those people were happy. What I posted, especially their relationship on YR and after is public news and be googled. What you posted is in your damn mind. BM was fired because of his acting or should I say non-acting. As a fan of BM, he has been calling it in for month. Sleeping and staring at the ceiling in a lot of scenes. So stop blaming other ppl esp SB for BM’s problems.
I heard differently. TPTB at YR are happy with Jason Thompson and have no intention of asking BM back. Plus he did not leave on good terms. That is what happens when you burn your bridges behind you.
Billy was fired because he was not doing his job. He also did not get along with this co-workers. BM was fired because of BM, no one else, just like any other job. You don’t do your job, they fire you, simple as that. Notice no big fan fare from co workers! No good bye cake, nothing. Because a lot did not get along with him. KM and BM are friends, so of course she was upset. But not her fault he was fired. He signs 1 yr only and they did not renew his contract. End of story.
Its like talking to a wall. They need to believe they are together to make them feel better. No matter what anyone says. Even Kelly and Billy have denied it and they still insist! It is funny and sad at the same time. They are both private people, so people will never know.
I don’t know where you got your info, Steve Burton played the better Jason Morgan because he is the one and only Jason Morgan. The writers wrote BM to play JM like Jason Q and that was even worse and then rewrote Sam to HIS version of JM. Sam was written out of character for BM’s Jason. Sam never had a problem with JM work as a hitman. She never judged him. All yall loving BM as Jason either just started watching or have no clue who JM is or Sam McCall. Sam became some kind of stepford wife. Doing everything BM Jason wanted and it was OOC. When the real Jason came back, they brought back the real Sam McCall. So you may have liked her as a home body with BM and behind the desk at Aurora, but that was Sam and owning a media co, damn sure wasnt Jason. Thank God OGJasam are back!
For real. Being a BM fan from YR, I really liked him as Jake Doe. He was horrible as Jason and he was boring as Drew. Sorry to say, he will not really be missed on screen. He will be a blip. I need Tyler Christopher back as Nik and Jonathan Jackson back as Lucky! They give me that and I will be a happy camper. OGJasam in the words of Damien Spinelli “Is exactly where they are meant to be”. Me personally, I don’t care about there private lives. I think I found out Jack Wagner and Kristina Malandro (Frisco& Felicia) were married when they were getting a divorce and I loved Frisco and Felicia. lol
I don’t believe a word that you said against Billy Miller. It is very clear that you don’t like Billy Miller. I watched him on Y&R and he is a fine actor and person. Just because you don’t like an actor is no reason to state things that you have no proof of. You must be a terrible person.
Who is Muhney? The actor by that name is from Y&R Nothing to do with GH. Burton has been a star for 20 years!
Y&R will not put up with the crap GH did with BM and his cult fan base. So, do not expect his return on that show. They are already dealing with the Michael Muhney fanatics. As it is, Y&R may be getting ready to get rid of Rey Rosales, whose fan base acts like the Killy fanatics. Like Drew, the character Rey serves no purpose and just wanders around town. His fans are going to get that actor fired …just like Billy’s did.
If Burton told Frank what to do he would be in his own sl and not inserted in everyone elses. Stop your bullshit. We know you hat SB and suck BM nuts, but damn. Put the blame where it belongs. The writing and BM mediocre acting for the last year. As a fan of BM he really has sucked for the last yr. Sleeping thru scenes and looking drunk as hell. You blaming SB for shit he has not done. The ratings also sucked before SB came back. The skyrocketed when he came back and it was called the “Burton Effect”. They went down because they writing sucked! So please shut the hell up about GH ratings going down because of SB. It is people like you that makes it so Kelly Monaco does not even like going on twitter, because you project your hate for one person on a whole damn show! You make me sick!
Oh he’ll be missed by a huge segment of GH viewers. He’s hardly a shitty actor. How many Emmys does he have moron? You Burton fans need to go outside of the trailer park and get a dose of reality.
Where do you get your information from do you work for the show I doubt it stop spreading rumors, Steve Burton is a kind man in person, If you would like to know go to his twitter and his podcast. Stop being so unkind.
Makes me sick too.. Billy did not accept ‘TPTB’s Choices and it was very evident ,I hate saying this;but he really did appear ‘drunk’ in episodes he was in.He just did not care..OMO
Where are you getting your information do you work for the soap are you just spreading rumors. Steve Burton would never have Billy Miller fired, Steve is a kind man and everyone loves him. Kelly Monaco should separate her professional life from her personal life. So I will say it again stop spreading rumors.
Steve Burton has nothing to do with the show if anyone does its Frank Valentini so if you do not like what you see then stop watching.
Why feel sorry for Kelly she does not run the show just because you cannot have your so called boyfriend in reel life does not mean you can dictate the show.
So then leave!
His acting was not up to par.
Well if he was a man he would fight for himself and not let another actor do it for him.
You do not know what you are talking if you knew GH History you could see that Billy Miller could not play Jason Morgan the only one is Steve Burton he is the one and only.
Yesssssssss!
He could not play Jason Morgan like Steve thats GH History.
So true.
No one is saying that he is a shitty actor unfortunately he was not doing his job so you go outside trailer park and get a dose of reality.
i heard his girlfriend is some girl named Erin
I think his acting was excellent in the situation that he was given following an actor like Steve.
I agree with everything you said in your post with regard to what BM brought to GH. I’m not a BM hater- I was always a fan of SB, but if he had been good in the show as Jake Doe/Jason Morgan, he would have been good as Drew.
I assumed he must be with KM, because how else could such an, I’m sorry, awful actor with a monotone, flat affect get a job in an iconic lead role on the only soap left standing on ABC? If anyone saw him in his small roles on Suits and Ray Donovan- he had the exact same flat, emotionless quality, only with 4 letter words allowed that Drew does. In fact, it was like watching Drew as a cop on RD.
He just is not a good actor on a show where there are people like Roger Howarth and Maura West to name two, that are amazing…but he must have a great agent, so for all of you who think he is just the ‘best’, he’ll find another gig soon enough I’m sure.
I agree with you on BM. I saw him on Suits and RD and he play every role the same. To me he always comes across as arrogant and entitled. He was a terrible Jason! The whole essence of the character was lost by his interpretation.
He certainly has his fans, I just never got his appeal.
It is all in the eye of the beholder! BM never captured the essence of Jason Morgan! Steve Burton is a fine actor, no need to bash him so you can elevate your idol. The Killy so called chemistry always felt forced.
You Killy fans are seriously living in a fantasy world. Steve Burton is known on of the nicest and most generous people. All his co stars love him and were super excited by his return.
If anything it was Kelly and Billy s Social media antics that fed the fan wars. They both should have shown some class and professionalism.
No wonder they are no longer invited to fan events
Now that’s to Funny,BM could not shine Steve Burtons shoes;Let alone play Jason.. He failed all on his own.. Steve IS “All That” and from what i’ve seen and read BM was jealous and could not control his envy and it was evident in his non-acting!! Now maybe he should grow up, and learn the lesson of “You get what you give”no matter what..
