The sand has run out of this particular hourglass. Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera), who celebrated 10 years of employment at Days of our Lives last September (2024), is heading for pastures new…and awfully familiar to fans of The Young and the Restless.
Billy Flynn OUT At DAYS, IN At Y&R
Ahead of landing in Genoa City later this spring, Flynn issued the following to TVInsider: “I am grateful for my years at DAYS; it changed my life in the best ways. I’ve always said these stories we tell are like doing a play, and I’ve spent the last 10-plus years playing this amazing character and telling one of the all-time great love stories. And now I’m excited for this opportunity and to test myself in a new way.”
Flynn’s exit was blessed by DAYS executive producer Ken Corday, who told the outlet: “We support Billy as an actor and friend, and wish him nothing but continued success and happiness, personally and professionally.”
Y&R’s EP and headwriter, Josh Griffith, who wrote for Flynn during his 2015-2016 tenure as DAYS steward, added: “On behalf of the entire company of The Young and the Restless, we look forward to welcoming Billy to the show. He will be a wonderful addition to Y&R’s stellar cast.”
Note: Because of DAYS’ unique production schedule — it shoots up to nine months ahead of what viewers see onscreen –Finn’s alter-ego will continue to air well into 2026.
