Billy Miller and Amelia Heinle were both on The Young and the Restless. Now that Miller has died, Heinle is thinking about her playing partner.
Along with a touching tribute on Instagram, the soap star shared a quote from Miller that came from a story he told her about his youth.
“My favorite thing growing up was hiding out from the rain in our little barn with a tin roof on it, it’s still my favorite sound. Listening to it coming down and the way it gave me peace,” read the quote from 2010.
Miller played Billy Abbott on the afternoon soap opera, and Heinle plays Victoria Newman. The made-up characters got married on Y&R the same year that Miller told Heinle about this story.
