As predicted, the Monday, July 28th episode of The Young and the Restless, saw the demise of the character of Chance Chancellor ending the run of Conner Floyd in the role. However as previously reported, Conner is already taking all-new episodes of Days of our Lives in the role of Chad DiMera replacing Billy Flynn. In a twist of fate, since Flynn is now Cane Ashby on Y&R, Chance’s final moments were dying in the arms of Cane.

In story, Carter (Vincent Stalba) who had been holding Lily (Christel Khalil) at gunpoint, lets her loose. Chance is trying to nab the guy as Carter tells Cane he made this place everything he could have wanted, but it was all for nothing. When Carter decides to end Cane’s life, Chance rushes in and he and Carter fight over the gun and it goes off. Later, Carter takes his own life.

Conner Floyd has been playing Chance  since 2021. The role was previously played by John Driscoll, Justin Gaston and Donny Boaz. Sadly, Y&R’s decision to kill-off Chance instead of recasting the part, marks the end of the era and one of the last ties to the legendary Chancellor family led by the iconic Jeanne Cooper (ex-Katherine). Chance was the biological son of Nina Webster (Tricia Cast) and Phillip Chancellor III (Thom Bierdz) and was the grandson of Jill Foster Abbott (Jess Walton).

In an Instagram post on Monday, Floyd shared, “It’s been real GC. What a ride. I have truly been blessed to call myself a citizen of Genoa City. To share the stage with so many talented and hard working actors, creatives and crew members. This is without a doubt a special place. I’m grateful to have been a part of such an iconic piece of art that has lasted through the decades and that has such a stellar, die hard fan base. Thank you for accepting me. Chance will always have a close place in my heart. He’s taught me a lot and I’ll miss him dearly. It’s been an absolute honor to represent the Chancellor legacy. Detective Chancellor, over and out.”

He was wasted as Chance; he could have done so much more in the role than Josh Griffith was capable of providing.

He was totally wasted as Chance. Hopefully, he’ll have a storyline on Days.

They treated the character and the actor very badly. Y&R has a shortage of young leading men. They didn’t give the romance with Summer a chance (no pun intended), they destroyed his relationship with Abby to place her with Devon and they have NO chemistry! He belonged to legacy families (Chancellors, Foster’ and Fenmore) and his mother was Nina. They aren’t doing much with Adam lately. Is he next to be written out? I truly hope DAYS truly utilizes this talented guy. Josh Griffith, the Paris storyline was a bust! Killing off Jermaine Rivers was also ridiculous! The guy had potential. Please don’t give us Nate and Victoria again. Another couple that didn’t. work. Y&R or maybe I should say Josh Griffith, doesn’t give the fans what they want = interesting characters, young love and not just Kyle and Claire, a vixen who can turn things upside down, like the character Phyllis used to be and not Audra! Give us a reason to tune in and not just out of habit!

Lewis, you said it all and so very well. Thank you. I thought Chance/Abby was a Y&R legacy couple in the making and remain seriously disappointed in how it played out. This was an important character that was neutralized, minimized, and wasted. And Connor Floyd is DOOL’s gain.

Reading the other comments, I am comforted in knowing my opinion is shared.

Sorry to see the actor and the character leave. It’s been obvious the writers didn’t know what to do with Chance and killed him off with no loved one near his side for comfort in his last breath.

Reply

What a crappy writer, simply crappy…Josh Griffith. Sorry. Once again he has proven (time and time again) that he should not be in charge of the Young and the Restless. Oh I know, but ratings improved during the July time frame, but for all the WRONG reasons. And if today was the climax, it failed. The Chancellor bloodline is now done, it’s over. And how in God’s name was Lily in the least bit sympathetic towards Cane at the end of today’s episode???? So I guess you didn’t kill Damian!?!?!?!?! You couldn’t have ONE character shed a real tear today over Chance’s death, not one??? Oh how did our cell phones turn back on? And how did Nikki NOT get a text or a voicemail from her daughter?? More holes than swiss cheese. Griffith should just resign!!!

Reply

I cant believe they are killing off Chance a legacy character this show is beyond stupid now a blank screen is preferable. The Nina Phillip Cricket triangle was the biggest story in the late 80s and brought the show to #1. Very disappointing.

Reply

So sad, to kill off an entire family in one shot. The audience is getting the message loud and clear, the past is the past and it ain’t never coming back

Reply

This current storyline with the cane introduction as much as I like Billy Flynn is a hot mess! I wish someone could tell me what is going on killing off Damian and chance ! This fool lacky Carter doing an Anthony Perkins imitation is a joke ! Nick accused of murder when he barely knows Damian! Only good thing is Nick and Sharon together otherwise fast forward

Reply

We better see appearances by Tricia Cast and Thom Bierdz in the very near future!

Reply

James…AMEN!!!!! I’m thinking the same thing. Oh…and now that Chance is gone, it makes PERFECT SENSE to bring Tricia Cast and Thom Bierdz back for guest appearances. But, if TPTB at Y&R decide not to bring TC and TB back, well then (to me) TIIC are dumber than I thought.

James…have a good one.

The hack just stopped 50 years of history, killing off a legacy character from the last of the original families. The character was the last link to the glory days of the show. Killed off for no story payoff at all, as I said the writer is a hack and the EP is incompetent, yeah I know they are one in the same.

Reply

What a joke! Nobody can mourn the poor guy, including his heartless uncle Billy. This show use to be filled with romance and youth and vibrant interesting characters. Now it’s about characters sitting at a coffee shop, athletic club or two ugly bars talking about business shenanigans. And characters only ever talk about Victor. Lauren, Michael, Kyle, Jack etcetc. At least Chance didn’t. Guess why the killed off the last legit Chancellor and months ago wiped away the Williams family by killing off Heather. This show is a bore.

Reply

Chance should not have been killed. I would have preferred Cane be shot. Chance is a legacy character.

Reply

There was no reason to kill off Chance nor have Carter die by suicide. A more fitting way to do it was have Carter get shot when they struggled for the gun, then Chance deciding after an another close call, that he wanted to be with Summer after all and he leaves GC to live in Italy with her.

However, if they really had to “kill” him at least write a better story in which to do it. I find this show has a real issue with pacing. Some things drag on and on and on, like the build up to who is Dumas. Then when it comes to “action” it all rushed– that if you blink you might missed it.

I can’t remember the last time there was a story arc on this show that after it ended I felt that storyline was worth the time I invested in watching it.

They will have the body flown to wherever Nina is and he will never be mentioned again . JG is a mess and as long as morons nominate this show and he wins a so called Emmy their will never have a writing change over there I only saw pictures of this so called set but I’ve seen more impressive sets at a elementary school play breaks my heart . But signed off of watching it and Bold a long time ago now o soaps so I guess have no right to complain just sad for the soap genre.

Reply

I yearn for the years of Douglas Marland who wrote the angst that I was experiencing while maturing – seems he and those like him were once in a lifetime with regards to the soap genre. I’ll continue to watch/DVR though. I fast forward through most of it for it’s on in the background, often on mute, while I’m working and will turn it on if something looks somewhat interesting. Growing up, I didn’t miss an episode and VHS recorded them every single day.

Reply

This storyline has SOOOO many gaps that make absolutely zero sense!!!

Once the cell phone access became available again, why did Lily not contact Mattie and Charlie IMMEDIATELY telling them about their FATHER??? and have them immediately go to GC and finally usher in the YOUNG of the Restless – that generation is completely off screen and should be front and center, especially with it being the SUMMER months, aka YOUNG LOVE

Sharon didn’t contact Faith or even Mariah or Noah.

And where is Reed??? His grandparents were held hostage in France and Victoria just lost her love, AND he has a new found thought-to-be dead sister in Claire.

So poorly executed, and the loss of too many feasible character developments.

Now we just get to go back to business transactions and corporate takeovers over drinks… (we have enough of that happening in real life right now)

They should call this soap The 50+ and Elders (while ruining/dissolving legacy historical families)

Reply

Well as long as 84 year old bully Braeden and 72 year old Bergman are front and center who cares ugh

Reply

It’s unfortunate that Baby John of Nikki and Jack did not survive back in the 90’s
Jack is a father to Kyle and Keemo (died) and Grandfather to Alli (in Europe) and Harrison in Italy
Ashley has Abby (with no plans to return according to the actress)
And Tracy had Colleen and no longer the love of Alan
The family tree for the Abbots is unfortunately rather small, though I do love Peter’s Jack and hope he remains on the show as long as is possible

Victor’s family tree is much more extensive and he is a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather – his wisdom should be guiding these younger generations – Love Eric, too!
Victoria has (now) Claire, Mariah (with daughter Aria), MIA Reed, and boarding school Johnny and Katie
Nicholas has Noah in Europe, Summer in Italy, Faith at college and Christian in GC but MIA
Abby has Dominic
Adam has Connor

They just killed off Chance, pretty much the last of Kay Chancellor’s family (Ronan anyone?)

The Winter’s Family has been evolving without Neil (RIP KSJ and a Moses return doesn’t make a lot of sense), and GC does need a third family but they just also killed off Damian after establishing him being Nate’s half-brother and the introduction of his mother, Amy who will survive her cancer, which makes zero sense, even if they want Lily and Cane to return to one another (calling Mattie and Charlie!)

The Baldwins have Fenn, and Chloe and Kevin have Bella and Miles

The Williams Family, the only true middle class family, is pretty much gone now that Heather was killed – where is Lucy this summer??? Daniel needs to do something more than strum a guitar in the park

I know I am missing probably some important people, but my general point is:

WHERE IS THE YOUNG??? It’s summertime and we should be enjoying new love blossoming and not watching middle-aged people wandering mindlessly around a maze trapped in the south of France with two deaths and a stabbing. I like a murder mystery, but there is no mystery – Carter killed Damien and then killed himself. The only mystery here is what is Amanda’s role? Is Mishael planning on sticking around once they all return to GC or is she heading back to her law practice (in DC it think?). If so, will she and Devon return to each other or are both of them heading to Atlanta to Beyond the Gates with announced cross-over for Devon?

And I agree with Lee – it DOES feel like they are trying to make Y&R as horrible as possible

Head scratching!

And sorry for the long post – it all just does not make sense to me if you want to have people invested in these fictional lives and actually watch the show, rather than fast-forwarding to get the “gist” of what is happening

Reply

It feels like they’re trying to make Y&R as horrible as possible.

They had to get rid of Chance and Nate is next. Maybe Amanda as well. Why? Because Devon is a despicable human being having done despicable things to people but he’s perched on the moral high ground and is never called out. Let’s review. He banged his adoptive father’s wife and Neil had to give her up so Devon could marry her. He formed a partnership with his father and whenever they disagreed he reminded the Dad that Devon had the money. His nana’s money but he had it. He testified against his sister and she went to jail. He treated his bio sis, the singer, terribly and she left town. When Abby and Chance needed a sperm donor he got the job. As soon as the baby was born he started squawking about having parental rights and he got them and basically squeezed Chance out of the kid’s life. He got so mad at Nate that he physically attacked him causing him to lose the ability to perform surgery. In a recent convo with Victoria she asked him how was it ‘changing’ careers like he chose to give up medicine. Even that is being whitewashed because no one wants to say Devon beat him. Then we get to Chance and Amanda walking in on Devon banging Abby on the stairs and once again he ends with the girl. He even moved into Chance’s family home. In France he called out Cane and Chance for being dishonest. But at least he calls Victor Mr. Newman. This guy is a POS.

So many of these comments are dead on. As a long time viewer of Y&R (summer of 73), I find it sad that a legacy character has been killed off. I wish the writing for Chance and many others characters was better

I dont understand why they killed off 3 people??? Carter, Damien and especially Chance, the last Chancellor? Why????

As previously announced, Beyond the Gates is bringing chef, author and actress Tabitha Brown and Grammy Award-winning songwriter, singer and actress Kandi Burruss to Fairmont Crest in a special episode of the CBS daytime drama airing Thursday, October 22.

In the episode, Dani’s (Karla Mosley) best friend Pamela Curtis (Cady McClain), arranges a “Welcome to Your Life” television special for her. As it turns out, Brown will play the show’s host, Tia Allen, while Burruss takes on the role of Dani’s first modeling agent, Kalista Kilroy, who turns the celebration of her life into a bad trip down memory lane.

Dani’s parents Anita and Vernon (Tamara Tunie, Clifton Davis), sister Nicole (Daphnee Duplaix), and daughters Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) and Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) all join the show to celebrate and support her but also witness how things so south. Also appearing in the episode are Molly Figueroa as Tatum Stewart and fan-favorite Anita Williams (Tunie) impersonator Jackie Tyree!

THE 411 ON TIA AND KALISTA

Speaking with TV Insider, about their soapy experience in Fairmont Crest, Tabitha Brown previewed about her host with the most, “Tia is very professional, but she’s a girl’s girl. She is a protector of women and wants to tell their stories in a beautiful way, but she also wants to make sure they’re seen in a very good light.”

However, Burruss previews that Kalista arrives with a score to settle. “She’s spicy,” shared the recording artist. “I always love playing somebody that has come to start trouble. It’s always fun to play a villain of sorts, but Kalista feels like she’s been done wrong and she’s hurt by what she feels has been done to her. So Kalista is stirring up trouble, but she feels justified putting Dani on blast. Kalista is ready for some payback.”

Beyond the Gates is produced by CBS Studios, as part of the CBS Studios/NAACP Venture, in partnership with P&G Studios, a division of Procter & Gamble. Created by head writer Michele Val Jean, executive producers include Val Jean, Sheila Ducksworth, Julie Carruthers, Tracey Thomson, Leon W. Russell, Derrick Johnson, Anna Saalfeld and Lela Coffey.

Beyond the Gates is broadcast weekdays on CBS (2:00-3:00 PM, ET/1:00-2:00 PM, PT) and is available to stream on Paramount+**.

So, looking forward to this special episode of Beyond the Gates when Dani is put on a blast during a blast from her past and Welcome to Your Life TV special? Share your thoughts via the comment section.

For months now, Days of our Lives has teased the character of Dominic Marino. In recent weeks, viewers learned that Marino is on the down low working with Sami Brady’s (Alison Sweeney) apparent fiancé ‘Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti), and that he is the never-before-heard-of child of Stefano DiMera (the late Joseph Mascolo) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall)!

Up until now, the Peacock streaming soap opera has never revealed his face, but that all seemed to change on the Tuesday, October 2o episode of DAYS. In story, Dante met Sami’s parents for the first time, Roman (Josh Taylor) and Marlena.

He shows them a photo of Dominic, which he happened to have on his own phone and even commented he kind of looked like he could be Marlena’s son. The photo, which has quickly made it around Soap Twitter/X, revealed that British-born actor Kyle Pryor is the man in the photo and eagle-eyed viewers actually located said photo on Pryor’s Instagram.

Deadline revealed Pryor started taping at the end of 2025 and will first be seen in the role, on air Monday, November 2.  In addition, Days will celebrate its 61st Anniversary with two special episodes featuring Dominic’s arrival, as well the returns of Tony and Anna DiMera, played respectively by Thaao Penghlis and Leann Hunley, on Friday, November 6 and Monday, November 9.

Those in the know, are are that Pryor previously held series regular roles on Australia’s Home and Away, and the UK’s Hollyoaks and guest starred on Emmerdale.

It’s been over two-years since his last appearance on General Hospital, now fan favorite Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) has taken to social media to share his thoughts on the casting of his grown-up TV daughter, Serena Baldwin now played by Kelly Kruger.

Kelly took over the role of Serena on-screen starting with the July 30, 2026 episode and has been ensconced in the storyline with her mother, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring), in trying to win back full creative control of Deception for her.

In fact on the Monday, October 19 episode of the ABC soap opera, Serena tried to dupe Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) into signing over Michael’s (Rory Gibson) shares of the company. Jason caught on and wondered why she was doing this. She claimed she just wanted to help her mom gain creative control from Tracy (Jane Elliot) rather than full ownership, and begged Jason to keep quiet about it, which he agreed to for now.

WHERE IS SCOTT?

On Monday, Shriner also took to X and said, “I think Kelly Kruger is doing a great job on General Hospital, and she and Lynn Herring work well together.” That was followed by comments in his thread about the show needing to bring back Scott too.

In fact, back on August 25, Shriner also took to X with a reminder that Scott is still around and ready to come back to Port Charles, sharing, “Scotty Baldwin always fits in he just needs the right sport coat !!!!”

The last time Serena mentioned her father Scott was when Kruger made her debut and informed Lucy that her father was, “living his best life in Key West.”  Meanwhile, Shriner posts on his X account continually and shared back on August 2, that it has been 49 years since he made his on-screen debut as then teenaged, Scotty Baldwin and thanked the fans for al the love and support.

So, now let us know, are you enjoying Kelly Kruger as Serena Baldwin? Do you want to see GH bring back Scott Baldwin into the story, so Serena has both her parents in Port Charles? Do you like the potential of Jason and Serena pairing? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
