Connor Floyd Cast as Y&R’s New “Chance” Chancellor
It’s finally official, (although previously speculated), The Young and the Restless has found their man, even though Genoa City’s Abby (Melissa Ordway) is still searching for hers!
Conner Floyd has joined the cast of the CBS Daytime drama series as the recast Phillip Chancellor IV aka “Chance”.
The part was last played by Donny Boaz who was let-go from the series and last aired back in February of this year. Look for Floyd to make his on-screen debut later in November.
Currently in story, Chance is presumed dead after Abby received the shocking news that the her husband was killed in the line of duty in a bomb explosion. A family heirloom was found near the site where he ‘perished’.
However, Abby believes he is still alive and feels it in her gut, and plans to go searching for him. But, as viewers have seen this week and are about to, Chance’s ‘death’ will take a toll on Abby leading her to medicate on prescription drugs and opening up the storyline of her not taking care of her newborn baby, Dominic. Problem is, Mariah (Camryn Grimes) is missing the child she carried and gave birth to as the surrogate for Abby and Chance.
As for Floyd, he has previously been seen in Tv and motion pictures including: Malicious Motives, A Kiss on Candy Cane Lane and the upcoming Help Wanted.

So, excited to see Connor step into the role of “Chance”? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
About time #yr announced this. We’ve known all along that Conner was taking over the role.
This storyline has been totally ridiculous. While obviously it makes sense to have Chance finally around, I’m still completely irritated that Donny Boaz was let go. I guess we’ll never know the reason; but he was Abby’s best pairing – they had such chemistry, and he was perfect in the role.
I really liked, Donny Boaz, as well. @Y&R should have given @Bonny more of a “chance”. he started on the show November 8, 2019. I think he had a full year. CAUGHT Covid-19, November 2020. AND of course all the off the air hiatus. And , per Wiki, his last scene was February 2021. He was let go, and there was no real explanation… how unfortunate.
the thing is … he looked perfect for the part.. and still dastardly handsome… why do they all have to look like barbie doll ? this new guy is very pretty. I thought Donny was ruggedly handsome.. AND carried himself, on his own. i loved the look of Chance and Abs together. PLUS i saw a resemblance WITH Tricia Cast’ mom Nina. COME ON… Tricia Cast is a lovely woman… and no.. she was not barbie material. just a natural woman. that’s how i saw @Donnie Boaz… they do not have to all look alike… Jeez louise.
okay… rant over
oh, and yes, he acted … ACTED?

Right, as usual. I don’t know how you keep all your facts straight. I also loved Donnie, so sexy! I may be old, but I can still look, right?
I SO wanted Danny Boaz to be rehired. Very disappointing Y&R!!!
This storyline is so bad who cares about a chance recast. Melissa ordway has had chemistry with not one person she’s been paired with and don’t even try it with Devon. I can’t believe they are wasting screen time on this. I’ve watched a very long time but this sleep inducing writing just make make me stop
Only partner shes connected with was her real life husband Justin Gaston
Why wasnt he the one to come back as Chance!?
If Abby , Devon and Tessa walked up the Chancellor staircase and never came back down it would be too soon…
Based on this one photo, the actor looks age-appropriate (not nearing 40 like the prior actor) and looks like he could be the son of Phillip III and Nina.
The show will need to give the actor something compelling to do —- Not having to play sounding board to the whining Abby or saddled with this lousy baby plot. The writers need to give Chance more interaction with Nina and less with Abby.
Barbara from Atlanta,
I wonder why you think this grown man needs more time with the mother he grew up with? He’s going to have to deal with whatever issues he returns with, probably PTSD. and getting his wife off drugs, plus getting to know a child that Devon is thinking more and more of as his own and Mariah will be more than willing to grab away the minute she sees he’s being ignored or neglected. I hope this story will be as interesting as Iam making it sound, ha,ha.
Violet. THAT’S interesting. And I agree with poster Damien who responded bring back Emme Rylan and make Abby her own self and not another version of Eileen Davidson’s put upon Ashley from years gone by. The girl’s a spoiled brat daddy’s girl. Always has been. I’m surprised the baby isn’t already at a Swiss pre-school boarding school. To return in three years an angry teen.
Yes to Nina!
What a waste of true talent
Further I’d love to see Jill back more often and maybe have a bored housewife Chloe back into his orbit, shes also a Chancellor character via Esther!
A good Jill/ Chloe/ Nina rivalry in the Chancellor mansion to bring back the glory days there!
Keep Abby behind the hostess stand at Society unless Emme Rylan comes back since shes off GH
Oh Damien, if only! The true halcyon days of Y&R! No offense, but I don’t like this new guy’s look already. But I’ve promised to be more welcoming to recasts, and I LOVE Rory Gibson as nuNoah. How I miss Jill and the catty days and nights at the Chancellor mansion. And this “neglectful mom” Abby storyline is so OVER… we all know where it’s heading: Courtroom #1 at Genoa City Hall.
Could anyone remind me who is it that actually owns the Chancellor mansion? Seems it was perhaps more than one person. I would enjoy seeing Jill return.
For gawdsakes, about time—-
I’ve known that for a while–
The tragedy is; I had/have to watch all the nonsense crying and pity junk going on while knowing Chance was not dead..
It was beyond irritating and FF needed because it was ridiculous to put people through that horrible story..
The baby story is 100% worse than the Music Box story.
And I didn’t believe any story could be worse than that one.
I don’t understand why Y&R let Danny go.
The storyline promised suspense and heartbreak with a happy ending for the holidays. But I didn’t care. Stitch’s return was forced and his kidnapping of Mariah so dumb. Abby should be strong by design and history. It’s just wrongly turning on many levels. I count on these two characters for legacy and for romance and sizzle. Super couple potential. But not yet.
Maybe they should hire a child to play their son, or buy a new blanket for the kid.

OMG, I think the same time every time I see that “thing” they carry around.Do a better job of pretending it’s real, put on a different blanket as you said, anything, because this crap is really distracting.
Chance better get home soon, Abby’s giving his son away!!
I’m so glad for this and glad Donny was booted he was to old and not much of actor and I didn’t care for his take on Chance. Chance will have many things to handle when arriving home. YR needs the matriarch home for a stay…JILL to take control.
Replied earlier today asking who actually inherited he Chancellor mansion. That would allow more thoughts. No comment on the new “Chance.” However, I am terrible with names, truly like his mother being back on stage, think Jill could tie a lot of stories together, got far enough in my thinking to have drawn the present Ashland thing to the present point; still think it could reverse. Would like Jack and Phyllis as friends — no more.
Kind of up in the air regarding all of this. This site is difficult for me to find. However, like the new Chance but don’t feel any “real” connection” with Abbey. Do find a fantastic connection between the Chance/Com duo and hope they succeeded! They have chemistry. It surprised me!

‘General Hospital’s’ Josh Swickard Stars in Faith-Based ‘The Space Between Us’ as The Man Who Has an Affair with a Married Woman
While General Hospital’s Harrison Chase’s (Josh Swickard) marriage to Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) has seemingly come to an end based on trust issues, and his unrelenting believe of the innocence of his ex-wife Willow Cain (Katelyn MacMullen) when she has committed heinous crimes, Josh Swickard is also being featured in another story on another platform in the new faith-based movie, The Space Between Us.
In the streaming feature now on the Angel platform, Swickard is playing Levi Boone, a handsome young solider, who finds himself attracted to a married woman played by Jennifer Taylor. The two have an affair. The movie made it’s debut last week on October 8.
According to the loglines, “The Space Between Us dives deep into modern relationships, following marriages straining under the heavy weight of busyness, unmet expectations, and spiritual disconnection. Described as a story of grace in the mess, the film takes a grounded, deeply relatable look at how even the best intentions can fall apart—and how faith, strong community, and honest vulnerability can bring true healing.”

In a cast interview, which features Swickard, Taylor and Kristoffer Poloha, the trio discussed their thoughts on betrayal in marriage, and who’s right and who’s wrong and more.
Josh Swickard explains, “The audience can get it from a lot of sides too where we can show it, and if you have crossed that line in your marriage. it doesn’t have to be over. And when two people are willing to work, anything’s possible. Not giving the end away. I’m just saying. It could happen. It could happen. People can end up together.”
Meanwhile, Kristoffer Poloha added, “Like, wait a minute, but this other guy steps in and I think passion takes over. I think what you see is how easy it is to stumble. Whether it’s adultery or whether it’s another type of sin, you can basically burn your house down in many different ways and how quickly it is to light that fire.”
The Space Between Us is from Canyon Productions. The company delivers faiith-based media designed to encourage, inspire, and uplift viewers along their spiritual journeys. By showcasing the genuine struggles and eventual triumphs of relatable characters facing tough real-world challenges, Canyon aims to create projects that point audiences directly toward hope and perseverance.

WITH THIS RING, I THEE WED …
Speaking with TV Insider ahead of the wedding episodes, which kick-off tomorrow on the Friday, October 16 episode of the top-rated soap opera and continue on to next week on the Monday, October 19 episode, Jason Thompson teased, “Our wedding really is a really beautiful accumulation of all the things that we love about this job and that the audience loves about soaps.”
Thompson also added what fans of the soap are about to see, “Being in the business long enough, those are things you’re like, ‘Oh, damn!’ It’s not a one-day event. This continues on, and it changes story.”
Courtney Hope explained, “Standing at the altar came with its own set of emotions. I was nervous because I’ve been to a lot of weddings over the years and seen so many people get up there and say their vows. I knew it would be great, but I wanted to do it justice. I wanted to make Sally’s history proud.”

HAVE A QUESTION FOR JASON AND COURTNEY?
In true soapy fashion, just because the couple may makes it past the “I do’s,” does not mean trouble is not right in front of them! “There’s a lot of tension. There are a lot of tinderbox moments,” shared Thompson. “There’s something that goes down pretty serious with Jill, and it throws everything into the blender in that moment.”
