I had forgotton about Billy. He did reappear in "Something Terrible" (the
one about the sexually abused girl that Colin tried to help). I thought that
he was a good character and I would have liked to see his character
developed more. He never did break out of the frame of "boy who knows about
computers and is tetraplegic". In fact, if he had stayed around long enough
he could have been groomed to become the Junior Gazette's new peacemaker and
level headed member of the news team after Kenny left.
Maybe I should stop trying to find someone who could replace Kenny. By the
way did anybody else see Lee Ross in "Shine on Harvey Moon" (series about a
polititian set just after the war with Maggi Steed and the two people from
"Birds Of A Feather")
