‘The Young and the Restless’ Casts Conner Floyd as Chance
Chance is coming back to The Young and the Restless.
In another one of the (usual) soap opera recastings, Conner Floyd will be stepping into the role of Phillip Chancellor IV, a.k.a. “Chance,” beginning with an episode set to air later this month. Chance is the (at one point) presumed dead husband of Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway), son of legacy character Nina (Tricia Cast), and grandson of legacy character Jill (Jess Walton). Check out a photo of Floyd on the Young and the Restless set in California above.
Floyd’s credits include roles in television movies, including Malicious Motives, A Kiss on Candy Cane Lane, and the upcoming Help Wanted.
Chance was last seen on screens on The Young and the Restless when he was played by Donny Boaz (for 108 episodes). His last episode aired on February 1, 2021. “I was told that Chance is NOT being replaced or killed off. He’s just not gonna be there anymore,” Boaz wrote on Instagram in his farewell message, adding to Ordway, “I know I said I wanted us to be the greatest daytime tv couple ever, I aimed high, I’m sorry we didn’t get to see it through.” We’ll have to wait to see what the character’s return means for that couple’s future.
Over the years, since the character’s introduction with his birth in 1988, Chance has also been played by Justin Gaston, John Driscoll, Penn Badgley, Nicholas Pappone, Alex D. Linz, and others.

I read that TPTB didn’t like his politics I guess he was too vocal about them…..

Glad the character is back.
Conner is eye candy.
Until COVID is really really over we probably won’t see many children much less a baby. ☹️

Not the best replacement, absolutely no chemistry. Donny Boaz gave life to Chance.

It’ll come out years from now why he was cut like it always does 😉

It wasn’t Danny’s wish to leave. He was let go. I liked him a lot, but I like Connor Floyd, too.

You are so right! The props department can't come up with something more realistic than this? Dominic is now several months old and they carry him around as if he was born yesterday!

Bring back Donny Boaz, at least we all knew and loved his character, he made you believe in Abbey & Chance. Bring Boaz back ASAP

I want Donny Boaz back as Chance . The chemistry between Chance and Abby was amazing !! I want Donny Boaz back!! I may stop watching the Young and Restless after all these years! You already disappointed me when Kyle snd Summer left! Stop making all these changes to show. It don’t feel real anymore!!!

Well I have to give Donny credit, look at the cast of all soaps and you see the same cast that we all fall in love with, some have been there 30 years but they get " type cast " and stay for their whole career never to grow to their full potential, So good luck to you Donny and hope to see you soon maybe on the big screen !!

I think the new Chance, Conner Floyd, needs to shave and cut his hair.
