Billy Flynn Says Y&R Is a ‘Dream Come True' – But It's Not for the Reason You Think
Billy Flynn took a big leap by leaving Days of Our Lives to join The Young and the Restless. But the actor is excited about his new gig at the CBS soap opera, which begins this week. For Flynn, being part of the Y&R family is a big milestone for him. For 10 years, Flynn played the popular hero Chad DiMera on Days. Fans of the Peacock soap thought the actor would be a lifer on the show. But in March, Flynn stunned the soap world by announcing his departure from Days to join Y&R. While Days fans are sad to see the actor go, it was time for him to move on. When Y&R approached him with an offer, it was too good to pass up. WATCH THIS: Did you know SoapHub has a podcast?! Check it out here! Although there might be some jitters about joining a new show, so far Flynn is having a wonderful experience. In a video interview posted on Y&R's Instagram page, Flynn discussed being the newest cast member. 'I'm grateful to be on The Young and the Restless, and over at CBS feels like a dream come true. It's my mom's favorite soap opera. So, mom, you're…you're welcome. I know all these actors and I've been watching and admired them for years. And I know a lot of the people over at CBS and Sony, who work, you know, behind the scenes and, I, I love absolutely all of them. And I'm just, I'm grateful to be here. I really am. Flynn's mom and Y&R fans will see the actor's debut later this week as Aristotle Dumas. There's been a lot of focus on Flynn's character, who will stir up trouble for all of Genoa City. Plus, there's the added mystery of what secrets Aristotle is hiding himself.

Tom Hardy's 'MobLand' just wrapped up with a stunning finale — and I can't wait for a season 2
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After the premiere of "MobLand," I felt the Paramount Plus show had a major problem, but showed a lot of promise. Fast forward to today's (June 1) season finale, and I can confirm the show wound up delivering on that promise — and then some. No, the show's not perfect by any means. Pierce Brosnan and Helen Mirren are incredible actors ... just not in this show. They're such caricatures of Irish gangsters that I'm still surprised they agreed to perform their roles the way they did. Then again, there is something very "Guy Ritchie" about their performance, and given the English director's involvement in the show's talented creative team, maybe Brosnan's and Mirren's performance was directed by him in particular. Even though this show isn't technically a Guy Ritchie series — he's an executive producer and director, but "The Day of the Jackal" creator Ronan Bennett is the creative lead behind "MobLand" — it has Ritchie's fingerprints all over it, including the finale. You don't even have to go back far to find a Guy Ritchie movie that feels related to "MobLand." I couldn't stop thinking about "The Gentlemen" while watching this show, especially how much Tom Hardy's Harry Da Souza reminds me of Charlie Hunnam's Raymond Smith. Also, there's plenty of violence. Spoilers for 'MobLand' beyond this point All season long, "MobLand" has been building toward an all-out gang war between the Harrigans and the Stevensons. To call it a simmering conflict would be an understatement. There's been dismemberment, car bombings and much more violence besides. But things go up a notch in the finale. The entire Stevenson crime family gets wiped out in a brilliant move by Harry that involves luring all of Richie Stevenson's (Geoff Bell) soldiers away from the rival gang leader, eliminating them in a hail of gunfire, grenades and bombs. Then, of course, Harry and Kevin (Paddy Considine) kill Richie and the Harrigan family lawyer, O'Hara (Lisa Dawn), who turned out to be a rat. It may be cliche, but this was my favorite part of the episode. First, seeing Harry's move play out in a way that lets you know what's coming just enough for you to get excited for the payoff. Second, Kevin delivering the line 'The Harrigans say hello' right before killing Richie is excellent. Yes, the killer delivering a final line right before the kill has been done before, but it still works. This show may have started slow, but now that the season is over, I can freely admit I've fallen for "MobLand." It's the perfect role for Hardy, who is great on screen with Conisidine. It's just the right blend of clever dialogue, brooding, double crossing and violence, even if the show definitely has some flawed performances and occasionally devolves into cliche. So, Paramount, give us "MobLand" season 2. I'm shocked that the show hasn't been renewed already, even after the finale's release on Paramount Plus. The show is clearly setting up a season 2 with Harry versus the notorious Kat McAllister (Janet McTeer) or a lieutenant of hers we have yet to meet. If we get that showdown, it could genuinely produce a great season of television. Watching Hardy and McTeer on screen this episode gave me real Timothy Olyphant and Margot Martindale in "Justified" season 2 vibes, and that might be one of the greatest seasons of television ever made. Paramount owes it to us and the show to give it the chance to build on a season that's gotten better and better with every episode. Stream "MobLand" on Paramount Plus 'Your Friends and Neighbors' season finale proves there are no consequences as long as you're rich and look like Jon Hamm 'Hacks' shocking season 4 finale has me hopeful season 5 could be the show's best yet — here's why 'The Last of Us' season 2 finale live — reactions, who survived, recap and more

Why Ray Romano hated the 'Everybody Loves Raymond' name
Everybody loves photos. 'Everybody Loves Raymond' is the latest show to get an exhibit at the Paley Center for Media in Manhattan, displaying costumes, props, and around 300 photos from the classic sitcom. 'Almost all of the behind-the-scenes footage was shot by me. It's probably the most documented TV show ever,' series writer and exec producer Tom Caltabiano exclusively told The Post. Advertisement 'I met Ray [Romano] in probably 1989. And I take pictures of everything, so I took a lot of pictures of Ray when we were doing stand-up together on the road. Then, he just happened to become famous… [as] I was writing [on 'Everybody Loves Raymond'], I started taking more photos, but I was 100% unofficial.' 12 A script for 'Everybody Loves Raymond' displayed in the Paley Center exhibit. Courtesy 12 Patricia Heaton, Ray Romano, Doris Roberts, Brad Garrett and Peter Boyle in 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection Advertisement 12 Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton in 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' ©CBS/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection 'Everybody Loves Raymond' ran for nine seasons on CBS, from 1996 to 2005. The sitcom followed Raymond 'Ray' Barone (Romano), a sports writer living with his family in Long Island. Patricia Heaton co-starred as his wife, Debra, Brad Garrett played his brother, Robert, and Doris Roberts and Peter Boyle played his parents. By the end of the show's run, Caltabiano took 30,000 photos, making the 300 on display just a fraction of the total. He explained that it's rare for a writer to be on staff 'for the entire series from beginning to end,' which is also why the show is so well-documented. Advertisement The exhibit is currently open and runs through Sept. 7. Some props include Robert's police uniform, and the fictional family's toaster and yellow coffee canister. 12 The toaster displayed in the Paley Center exhibit.

Getty Images Visitors can also pose for photos on the couch from the show, but curator Jason Lynch told The Post that those are recreations to avoid any mishaps. 'We just wanted guests to have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the family's furniture and take a photo and feel like they are part of the family. Which is also the feeling you get watching the show,' he explained, adding that everything else in the exhibit is original. For Caltabiano, tracking down the props and costumes for a show that's been off the air for 20 years wasn't too difficult. 'It was such a tight-knit group that worked on the show. It was so personal to everybody involved, so they did have so many things already. That certainly was a big help in putting this together,' Lynch explained. Romano's manager, Rory Rosegarten, had a lot of props such as the toaster and canister. 'He had a bunch. And we still have more coming from various places in the country…it's shocking how dispersed it was,' said Caltabiano. 12 Lew Schneider, Maggie Wheeler, Patricia Heaton, Ray Romano, Phil Rosenthal, Tom Caltabiano, Cindy Chupack and Aaron Shure attend PaleyLive: 30 Years of 'Everybody Loves Raymond' at The Paley Museum on June 16, 2025 in New York City.

'The wardrobe department takes a Polaroid photo of every single actor of every single wardrobe change from every scene of every episode,' he explained. Advertisement When the show ended, they were going to be tossed into a dumpster. 'I was like, 'Oh man, if I could save these from 'I Love Lucy' can you imagine how valuable they were?' At that time, we ended two days ago, so it's not as much of a nostalgia, but I saved them all. So I store them all in my basement, and when I look at them, I'm like, 'wow, what a record of every single moment of the show.'' The exhibit also has a glass display case showing Romano's list of alternate titles for the show, including, 'That Raymond Guy,' 'Concerning Raymond' and 'Um, Raymond.' 'Ray was tortured by the name,' Caltabiano explained. Advertisement 'Because Ray in real life is a modest guy and he's like, 'Everybody loves Ray, what if the show stinks? Every journalist is going to be like, oh really, everyone loves Ray?'' 12 Ray Romano's list of alternate names for the show, displayed in the Paley Center exhibit. Courtesy 12 Robert's police badge on display at the Paley Center. Courtesy He quipped, 'Thank God it was a hit. He had to make it a hit just to overcome that title!' Advertisement Similar to the show, in real life, Romano's brother was a cop. Romano's sibling used to joke about saving people and getting shot at during his job, while Romano instead 'tells jokes and gets an award…everybody loves Raymond!' After they put that in the script, he said series creator Phil Rosenthal's wife, Monica Horan, who was also in the series, said 'that would be a great title for the show.'' 12 Around 300 behind the scenes photos taken by Tom Caltabiano are on display at the Paley Center exhibit. Courtesy 'And then Ray was like 'Oh no. Are you kidding me?'' he recalled. 'So, he called [David] Letterman, and he called the president of CBS and said 'Please, can we change the show name?' So the president said, 'Look, if it's a hit, we'll change it.' And then it became a hit and the president says, 'Well, we can't change it now!'' When asked if a reboot or revival could ever happen, Caltabiano said, 'Well, I believe in the works is a reunion show where Phil and the cast reunite and talk about clips and their favorite moments. Doing a newly scripted reboot – that I don't know. Honestly, without Peter Boyle and Doris Roberts, it would be a completely different show,' he said, referring to how Boyle died age age 90 in 2016, while Boyle died at age 71 in 2006. But, he added, 'Never say never.'
