The Young and the Restless (Y&R) Spoilers: Abby Faces Future Alone – Chance Return Or Recast Isn’t Happening?

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) spoilers and updates tease that Abby Newman Abbott Chancellor (Melissa Ordway) will retain her four-part name for now. But a day could come, as soon as this year, when the Chancellor moniker will be dropped.

Donny Boaz (Chance Chancellor) surprise exit from the cast came at a very unusual time. If this departure was planned, then a retrospective look at Chabs recent history is clearer.

Assuming Y&R intended to write the Chance character out, then the writing staff was planning this type of sudden disappearance. Some buzz indicates that Y&R might be cutting the budget.

The Young and The Restless could have told Boaz the truth, with that being the current regime’s feeling as of now. But if so then something out of the ordinary happened.

Shows and actors aren’t supposed to detail the future because then fans know what’s coming. In this situation, they would have been knowingly told that Chance will remain on an indefinite government assignment. And Justin Gaston (Chance), who filled in for Boaz while he was out with the virus, won’t become the replacement. Why not could be asked when it comes to hiring Gaston on a full-time basis.
