Soap Star Says Goodbye to Iconic Role After 12 Years: ‘Like Witnessing Your Own Funeral’

Billy Flynn concluded his 12-year role as Chad DiMera on Days of Our Lives with farewell scenes showing Chad leaving town with his children.

  • On February 17, Billy Flynn wrapped his run as Chad DiMera, with the character departing town alongside Thomas DiMera and Charlotte DiMera.
  • Flynn left Days to take a role on The Young and the Restless as Cane Ashby, saying reuniting with writer and executive producer Josh Griffith was a major reason for joining.
  • Among his standout arcs was the 2015 `Necktie Killer` storyline, and Flynn was thrust into the DiMera spotlight when James Scott left soon after his arrival.
  • Conner Floyd is set to take over Chad and Flynn plans to watch Floyd's debut in April while hoping for longevity at The Young and the Restless.
  • Because Days films months ahead, Flynn called his goodbye prolonged and surreal, describing it as witnessing your own funeral while adapting to Cane has been a learning experience.
