Still reeling from the effects of the mental health breakdown that occurred last summer, Thompson’s character is overwhelmed by the stunning stabbing of Vickie Newman (Amelia Heinle). Closest in proximity to where she was standing in a resplendent white outfit at the Newman Enterprises Fiftieth Anniversary Gala, Billy didn’t see Ripley Turner (Christian Keyes) plunge a knife into Vickie’s side.

Billy was acting recklessly, as usual, when he saw Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan) at the Grand Phoenix hotel. That location is again partially owned by one of Billy’s former romantic partners, Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford), but that’s another storyline.
So, Amanda followed Billy to the party he wasn’t invited to. Viewers were shown Ripley’s view of Amanda at the Grand Phoenix but hadn’t confirmed it was him at that point in the plot. When she followed Billy, in an attempt to stop him, Ripley was then shown in one of Y&R’s classic settings.
Rather than verbally confront the woman he’s obsessed with, Ripley became incensed that the woman he thought was Amanda was speaking with Billy. She’d left, with a similarly dressed Vickie then chastising Billy for being at her father’s celebration.

Ripley committed his crime, took off, saw Amanda at the elevator, realized he’d stabbed the wrong person, and escaped. The authorities were quickly contacted, with Amanda helping Paul Williams (Doug Davidson) fill in the blanks so he could pursue the suspect.
Bamanda projected as a train wreck from the moment Billy first began flirting with Amanda at the Empty Glass. She recognized his intentions and told him, no, but he hasn’t relented.
Now, following the drama described above, Billy and Amanda are moving closer to each other. Morgan’s newest alter ego continues to logically resist. Yet, Amanda’s emotions, like Billy’s, are drawing Y&R’s seemingly newest pairing together.
The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Vickie Newman Will Recover
Heinle isn’t known to be leaving the show. So, Vickie will be fine in time. However, she’ll be furious at Billy for the trouble he’s pushed into her life once again.
As Vickie recovers, Billy’s regrets will grow. With his deepest love, not an option, Amanda stands to become Billy’s next significant other. That projects as quite the engaging pairing, with kudos to the writing staff for making Bamanda happen.
