For decades, Jess Walton’s character Jill Abbott has been a crucial component of the CBS drama series, as fans of The Young and The Restless may know. But we don’t get to see her as often as we would want. In fact, she is seldom ever shown on film these days. She last made an appearance on a Zoom call several months ago.
Currently, on Y&R, she opened up to Billy about her declining health and that she is overseas getting treatment for the same with her brother- Dr. Snapper Foster. The Young and The Restless Spoilers hint that the conversation between her and Billy made it sound like her illness is very serious. Does this mean that the soap is preparing to write her out?
That is if they haven’t already! Because, post that Zoom call, we haven’t really seen or heard from her at all. Moreover, Billy Abbott keeps going on and on about preserving his mother’s legacy. It all sounds like the storyline is heading in a direction where we could eventually lose Jill Abbott.
However, it is to be noted that there has been no official confirmation from the makers or the actress about her leaving the soap. Moreover, The Young ad The Restless end credits list Jess Walton on a recurring status. This means that her character is not required on a regular basis to drive any ongoing storyline forward.
So, Jess can come in and go out as Jill as and when required. In recent years, Jess Walton has taken some time off from work to accommodate her husband’s health issues, as well as, some of her own. So that explains her past absence from the soap. As for the future, we really hope we get to see her involved in the upcoming corporate battle between Victor and Billy.
Jill Abbott is too fierce a character to go out without a mega bang! So, stay tuned  for more The Young and The Restless Spoilers on what happens next in Jill Abbott’s life. Meanwhile, tell us in the comments if you also miss some of Jill’s sassiness on the soap!
