The Young and the Restless has added another shocking cast member to the series. Days of Our Lives star Billy Flynn is departing the Peacock soap opera to join the CBS drama. Details about Flynn’s role is under wraps, but that hasn’t stopped the speculation.
Genoa City’s New Businessman
On Tuesday, March 11th, news broke about Flynn leaving DAYS to join Y&R. It sent shockwaves throughout the soap opera community. For the past 10 years, he played the popular role of Chad on DAYS. Many fans thought he’d stay with the show, but the actor decided it was time to explore new opportunities.
According to TV Insider, Flynn landed a new Y&R role and is set to debut in the spring.
Although his role is being kept a secret, fan speculation is already beginning. Many seem to think that Flynn is the mysterious Aristotle Dumas that has Genoa City abuzz.
Aristotle is the owner behind Damian’s (Jermaine Rivers) successful businesses. Mr. Dumas has everyone intrigued, including Victor (Eric Braeden), who is investigating the mysterious businessman.
Y&R loves their business storylines and it’s a matter of time before Aristotle’s arrival shakes up Genoa City. Although Newman, Jabot, and Chancellor are the biggest companies in town, Aristotle could give him a run for their money.
Flynn is no stranger to playing business executives and his DAYS character Chad could be ruthless when needed. Although many Y&R fans expect a former character to be Aristotle, Flynn in the role adds excitement.
The next question is who Flynn’s character will be paired with. There are plenty of single Genoa City women. Perhaps Summer (Allison Lanier) catches his attention? Or maybe he competes with Damian for Lily’s (Christel Khalil) affections.
Flynn’s already garnering much attention before his debut. Whoever he plays, he’s going to bring a lot of interest to Y&R.
