Lisa Rinna was the first of several actresses to play Billie Reed, troubled singer turned cosmetics mogul of uncertain parentage, embodying the part from 1992 to 1995. (During which, she told People, she had “like, a thing” with costar Patrick Muldoon, who played Billie’s brother Austin Reed.) Krista Allen took over until 1999, Rinna returned for a season in 2002, Julie Pinson kept Billie going until 2008 and Rinna has made a number of appearances since.
About the prospect of reprising the role of Billie yet again, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum told Distractify in 2024, “Listen, I never say no, really, to anything. I’m always open to revisiting these characters that I love.”
“You know I love drama,” she added. “So if it were right, if it felt right, if it made sense. I think I’m always open to it.”
