'Days of Our Lives' Casts 'The Young and the Restless' Conner Floyd as Chad: When Does He Debut?
'Days of Our Lives' Casts 'The Young and the Restless' Conner Floyd as Chad: When Does He Debut? originally appeared on Parade.
Days of Our Lives found its new Chad following Billy Flynn's exit from the show. In a surprising turn of events, The Young and the Restless hunk Conner Floyd has been cast in the role.
Flynn left Days of Our Lives in March after accepting a job on The Young and the Restless. Now, Floyd's leaving Y&R to play Flynn's old character on the hit Peacock soap.Deadline broke the news, revealing Floyd wrapped his run on The Young and the Restless as Chance, just as his Y&R co-star Melissa Ordway (Abby) promoted Abby and Chance joining the rest of the gang in France for the big Aristotle Dumas, aka Cane Ashby, reveal.
The turnaround is quick as Floyd begins filming for the hit Peacock soap today. The official Instagram account for Days of Our Lives teased a photo of him in front of his dressing room while revealing when fans will be able to see him on screen.
'Save the Date: April 2026 💙⏳#DOOL #days #daysofourlives #connerfloyd,' read the caption on the Instagram post.
The good news is that Chad won't be off-screen the whole time. Due to the Peacock soaps' advanced filming schedule, Flynn will still be on-screen playing Chad until January 2026. That means Chad will be MIA for a couple of months before Floyd begins in the role.
The Young and the Restless has yet to reveal Floyd's last air date or whether the character will be recast. Considering Chance has been on the back burner for months, the character likely won't be recast and will probably disappear into a soap opera abyss.
Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on Peacock, while The Young and the Restless airs weekdays on CBS.

Thinking of Watching Brad Pitt's 'F1' at Home? Think Again
Brad Pitt's latest film is a full-throttle, high-octane tribute to Formula 1 racing—and it's built to be seen on the biggest, loudest screen available. Shot with immersive race footage and anchored by Pitt's signature ease and intensity, the film is part sports spectacle, part character study, and all energy. Critics are already calling it 'velociously loud and exceedingly exciting,' with Rotten Tomatoes praising Pitt's 'effortless charisma' as the engine driving the story forward. And while there's no shortage of sports dramas on streaming platforms, F1 isn't trying to fit neatly into that lane. It's going for speed and scale. The film follows a former Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes (played by Pitt) who returns to the circuit to mentor young rising star, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris). It's classic redemption-arc stuff, but what makes it hit harder is the visceral, ground-level view of the racing world. Pitt reportedly trained on actual F1 tracks and filmed during real Grand Prix weekends, which gives the racing scenes a lived-in authenticity that's hard to fake. But what really sets F1 apart is how it looks and sounds in IMAX because it was "Filmed For IMAX." In fact, the whole movie is in the 1.90:1 aspect ratio. The roar of the engines. The tension of a corner taken just a little too fast. The vibration in your chest when tires peel off the track. It's the kind of sensory overload that streaming can't replicate—no matter how nice your soundbar is. It's not just a movie; it's a rush. Whether you're a diehard F1 fan or just here for peak Pitt, F1 rewards you for showing up to the theater. And in an era where most action gets watered down into safe, streaming-ready content, this one doesn't flinch. It floors it. Watch it big. Watch it loud. Watch it in IMAX.

Love Island USA: Where the couples stand after Casa Amor
The dust has settled — a bit — on this season of Love Island now that the main villa and Casa Amor have merged once again. Friday night saw a big shake up as Casa Amor ended and all 24 cast members made it to the villa in Fiji. An elaborate re-coupling saw some couples get back together after the short Casa Amor break, but also saw the emergence of some new ones. Taylor shook things up by choosing Clarke over his partner from the start, Olandria, but she was saved by her fellow cast members to remain in the villa as a single. Elan was also saved by the group, sending home Coco, Vanna, J.D. and Zac. Amaya (Zak), Taylor (Clarke), Pepe (Gracyn), Austin (Jaden), Huda (Chris) and Andreina (Bryan) all found partnerships with someone that joined during the Casa Amor break. Here is how the couples stand as we head into what is sure to be a big night in the villa: A new episode of Love Island airs on Peacock at 9 p.m. ET every night except Wednesday.

Jane Stanton Hitchcock, 78, Dies; Crime Novelist Who Mocked High Society
Jane Stanton Hitchcock, a daughter of privilege who skewered the foibles of her tribe in a series of addictive crime novels, and who then uncovered a real-life crime when her mother was swindled by her accountant, died on June 23 at her home in Washington, D.C. She was 78. The cause was pancreatic cancer, said Kathy Rayner, a friend. Ms. Hitchcock grew up at 10 Gracie Square, a blue-chip co-op on the East River that was once home to Gloria Vanderbilt, Brooke Astor and other Manhattan society figures. Her mother was Joan Stanton, a glamorous but chilly 1940s-era radio star famous for her role as Lois Lane on the radio version of 'The Adventures of Superman.' Her father, Arthur Stanton, who adopted her when she was 9, had made a fortune importing Volkswagen cars after World War II. The Stantons were known for their elaborate parties, where Leonard Bernstein might be found at the piano. For Jane's 21st birthday, Neil Simon composed a sketch. When she was 29, she married an heir of the wealthy industrialist and Treasury secretary Andrew Mellon, William Mellon Hitchcock — who had earned a bit of notoriety when he rented his mansion in Millbrook, N.Y., to the psychedelic-drug guru Timothy Leary — mixing her newish money with his gilded-age wealth. A tart observer and a professional wit, Ms. Hitchcock drew from her rarefied ecosystem in all her work, beginning with a series of wanly reviewed films and Off Broadway plays — and one London production, directed by Harold Pinter in 1990. It wasn't until she began mixing social satire with murder that she found her voice. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
