It’s official—Days of Our Lives star Billy Flynn is making the jump to The Young and the Restless! But is he really replacing Conner Floyd as Chance Chancellor? Fans are buzzing with speculation, and we’re here to break down the latest developments.

Billy Flynn, beloved for his portrayal of Chad DiMera since 2014, is leaving Days of Our Lives and heading to Genoa City. Flynn’s performance, especially during Chad’s emotional love story with Abigail, made him a fan favorite. Since Abigail’s tragic death in 2022, Chad’s storyline has been full of twists and heartbreak. Now, after a decade in Salem, Flynn is ready for a fresh challenge. He recently shared, “I’m grateful for my years at Days. It changed my life, but I’m excited to test myself in a new way.”

Although Days films months in advance, meaning Chad will remain on screen until 2026, Flynn’s departure opens the door for a new chapter on Y&R. While the show hasn’t officially confirmed his role, fans are speculating that he may be stepping in as the new Chance Chancellor—raising concerns about Conner Floyd’s future.

Conner Floyd, who joined Y&R in 2021, has been on shaky ground for a while. His contract ended in May 2024, and instead of renewing it, the show shifted him to a recurring status. Despite his recent involvement in the Sharon and Phyllis kidnapping storyline, there’s still uncertainty about his long-term place on the show.

Could Flynn’s arrival signal the end of Floyd’s time as Chance? Or is Y&R introducing a brand-new character? Fans are anxiously waiting to see how this casting shakeup will unfold. Stay tuned—there’s plenty of drama ahead in Genoa City!
