His constant dreams about Delia have

Billy so rattled that Victoria takes note

of his stressed-out behavior. Billy claims

he’s fine. “Billy put Victoria through hell

after Delia passed away,” explains Jason

Thompson (Billy). “He kind of lost it and

he doesn’t want to scare her into thinking

that will happen again. So he’s trying to

manage this on his own while he figures

out what’s going on.”

After taking a sleeping pill, Billy goes

to bed but later wakes up on the floor of

the Chancellor living room. “He has no

idea how he got there,” says Thompson.

“The sleeping pill knocked him into a

whole other stupor. Slowly but surely he

begins to unravel at messages he feels are

from the other side.”

Billy then finds some peeling wallpa-

per and when he strips it away, he sees

the words: STOP ADAM. “Now Billy is

wondering if Delia is telling him that she

can’t rest until Adam is gone,” Thompson

shares. “A couple of more pushes and he

just might jump off the edge.”

Ava shows up at Pentonville to see

Ryan, marking the first time she and her

ex-lover have crossed paths since she

stabbed him in the back.

Despite this, Ryan is delighted to see her.

“Of course!” chuckles his portrayer, Jon

Lindstrom. “He believes she would only

come to see him because she’s still in love

with him. Peas in a pod, and all that.” Ava

denies this, explaining that she has sought

him out because she’s been working with

a psychic, and believes that in order to free

Kiki’s soul, Ryan must express remorse

for killing her. “What she really wants is

to absolve herself of the guilt she feels for

bringing Ryan into Kiki’s orbit,” the actor

opines. “All that stuff about reaching Kiki

psychically is not something Ryan can get

behind. He thinks Ava should get back in

touch with who she really is, which is actu-

ally just him projecting how he sees her.”

Ava adds that she also needs Ryan to

release her from his love; he makes it clear that

he plans to love her until the day he dies. “She

doesn’t exactly warm to the idea,” Lindstrom

says. “As if that would ever dissuade him!”
