'Days of Our Lives' Casts 'The Young and the Restless' Conner Floyd as Chad: When Does He Debut?
'Days of Our Lives' Casts 'The Young and the Restless' Conner Floyd as Chad: When Does He Debut? originally appeared on Parade. Days of Our Lives found its new Chad following Billy Flynn's exit from the show. In a surprising turn of events, The Young and the Restless hunk Conner Floyd has been cast in the role. Flynn left Days of Our Lives in March after accepting a job on The Young and the Restless. Now, Floyd's leaving Y&R to play Flynn's old character on the hit Peacock broke the news, revealing Floyd wrapped his run on The Young and the Restless as Chance, just as his Y&R co-star Melissa Ordway (Abby) promoted Abby and Chance joining the rest of the gang in France for the big Aristotle Dumas, aka Cane Ashby, reveal. The turnaround is quick as Floyd begins filming for the hit Peacock soap today. The official Instagram account for Days of Our Lives teased a photo of him in front of his dressing room while revealing when fans will be able to see him on screen. 'Save the Date: April 2026 💙⏳#DOOL #days #daysofourlives #connerfloyd,' read the caption on the Instagram post. The good news is that Chad won't be off-screen the whole time. Due to the Peacock soaps' advanced filming schedule, Flynn will still be on-screen playing Chad until January 2026. That means Chad will be MIA for a couple of months before Floyd begins in the role. The Young and the Restless has yet to reveal Floyd's last air date or whether the character will be recast. Considering Chance has been on the back burner for months, the character likely won't be recast and will probably disappear into a soap opera abyss. Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on Peacock, while The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.

Abby Took Center Stage on Y&R June 19—And Dumas's Interest Might Reveal a Major Twist
Viewers finally heard Aristotle Dumas' voice on the June 19 episode of The Young and the Restless. And the person he wanted to know about was… Abby? That's odd. Everybody knows Abby is the least interesting Newman. Even Victor, who is all about family, periodically forgets she exists. So why did Dumas ask about her specifically? We have the wildest theory yet! Abby (Melissa Ordway) is the biological child of Ashley (Eileen Davidson) and Victor (Eric Braeden). But she wasn't conceived during their marriage. She wasn't even the result of an affair. Ashley stole Victor's sperm, had herself impregnated, and, for years, passed Abby off as Brad's (Dom Diamont). When Victor found out he had to, of course, claim what was his, and Abby has been a Newman ever since. But what if… MORE: Find out what happens next on Y&R. What if Ashley didn't just get artificially inseminated? What if, to ensure her baby's health, she had it created in a test tube? But there was a mix-up at the lab. (Ask Diane [Susan Walters] about that. She wanted Victor's child. She got Jack's [Peter Bergman] instead.) What if the baby Ashley had implanted wasn't the baby she ordered? It was someone else's embryo? Meanwhile, Ashley and Victor's child ended up with a different family. A Greek one, perhaps…. WATCH THIS: Did you know Soap Hub has a podcast?! Check it out here! What if Aristotle Dumas is Ashley and Victor's long-lost child? That would make him both an Abbott and a Newman. And Abby is married to Devon (Bryton James), so the Winters clan is involved, too. That's why he invited all the families there. (Remember, he didn't want Phyllis [Michelle Stafford]; she invited herself.) And that's why he's so upset Abby hasn't shown up yet. He needs her there to make his dramatic reveal. They can take a blood test on the spot. And then the fun will really begin.
