That’s a Wrap for Billy Flynn at DAYS
Even though we knew for nearly a year that Flynn was leaving DAYS to join The Young and the Restless, where he plays Cane, his final episode was a tearjerker.
In the episode, Chad said goodbye to several Salem residents before he, Charlotte (Autumn Gendron), and Thomas (Cary Christopher) left to spend time in Arizona with Will (Chandler Massey) and Sonny (Zach Tinker).
Side note, Flynn’s last episode was also Christopher’s last episode as Thomas. That means Thomas and Chad will have new faces when they return to Salem in the spring.
The episode was emotional as Chad had some very sentimental moments with people close to him, like Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) and Leo (Greg Rikaart), to name a few. Who would have thought Leo and Chad would be such good friends, but their scenes left tears in our eyes.
Following Flynn’s final episode, fans flooded social media to give him props and share how much he will be missed on DAYS. One fan reshared Flynn’s last moment as Chad to say, “THANK YOU.”
Another fan used social media to share a video of the exact moment when Flynn felt like Chad to a fan following Casey Deidrick’s playing the role, and to thank Flynn for his time on the show. The moment featured a tense scene between Chad and Abigail (Kate Mansi), reminding us of how Mansi and Flynn were on-screen.
While others were looking back or sharing thoughts on Chad’s final moments, one fan on X declared that Flynn is coming for that Daytime Emmy with his last performance.
“Billy Flynn is hitting these graveside scenes out of the park today. He’s coming for the 2027 Emmy at the last minute!” wrote the fan.
It’s the end of an era on DAYS as Flynn ends his run as Chad. The actor can still be seen on Y&R, and the character of Chad will return in April, played by Conner Floyd (Y&R, ex-Chance).
