Billy Flynn announced he is leaving 'Days of Our Lives' after a decade to join 'The Young and the Restless' cast

"I never imagined I would just tell one story for the rest of my life," said the actor, who has played Chad DiMera on "Days of Our Lives" since 2014.

Details of Flynn’s Young and the Restless character remain under wraps. Young and the Restless head writer Josh Griffith, who previously worked alongside Flynn on Days of Our Lives, shared a statement to Variety welcoming Flynn to the cast.

In a surprise casting move, Billy Flynn, who recently marked 10 years as Chad DiMera on Days of Our Lives, is moving to Genoa City and will make his debut on The Young and the Restless later this spring in a new role.
