illy Miller, who made
his first GH appearance
on October 1, 2014, has
wrapped up filming at the
show; his final tape date was
reportedly July 26.
After months of rumors,
the three-time Emmy-
winning actor confirmed his
departure on July 28 with a
video message released on
the Twitter account of his
manager, Marnie Sparer. The
entry says: “Officially. Billy.
Miller.” The video features
a heartfelt letter he penned
to fans. It reads: “Hello
friends, With a slight air of
sadness, it is time to pon-

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 given and received.
Maybe our goodbye is an
earnest hope for the brightest
path forward for us all. Maybe
our goodbye is honoring
growth and lessons learned.
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 homes
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.”
Miller first hit the soap
scene in 2007, playing doomed
ALL MY CHILDREN baddie
Richie Novak for a year. When
that gig came to an end, he was
snapped up to play Y&R’s
Billy Abbott. His Genoa City
run, which lasted from 2008-

Daytime Emmys and a strong
fan base. Not long after his
