Conner Floyd, who plays Chance on The Young and the Restless, is reportedly departing the show, leaving many wondering if his character will die. For those unfamiliar, Floyd has portrayed Chance since 2021 but is now transitioning to a new soap opera. He is set to take over the role of Chad DiMera on Days of Our Lives, a character previously portrayed by Billy Flynn — who now plays Cane Ashby on The Young and the Restless.

Following this development, speculation has begun about how Floyd’s Chance will be written off. Will his story end in death, or will the writers choose another creative exit? Here are the details.

Will Conner Floyd’s Chance die in The Young and the Restless?

There is speculation that Chance could be killed off on the show.

Aristotle Dumas, now revealed to be Cane Ashby, invited several influential guests to the French Riviera. However, both guests and viewers were surprised by the inclusion of Chance, who was previously associated with Chancellor Industries — the very company Cane is trying to acquire. Since Chance no longer has ties to the company, his presence was unexpected.

The confusion was cleared when Cane revealed he had brought Chance in as a detective because he believed someone was planning to murder him. Many now speculate that the killer Cane suspects may mistakenly murder Chance instead. This theory gained traction following a recent preview video showing a knife-wielding figure stalking Cane’s maze in Nice.

It seems unlikely the show would end Cane’s storyline, especially after the character was recast. He has also been central to recent plots. With Conner Floyd confirmed to be leaving the series, there’s a strong possibility that Chance will be killed off. Ultimately, only the upcoming episodes will reveal who becomes the unintended victim of the looming attack.
