Days of our Lives has set the stage for a Chad and Jennifer custody battle that could also serve as an ulterior motive for the hit Peacock soap.
Key Takeaways
- Billy Flynn’s time is up at DAYS.
- Chad will be off-screen for months before he returns with a new face.
- The custody battle is the perfect way to write out Flynn and get Chad out of Salem.
Is This How Billy Flynn Leaves?
The animosity between Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) and Chad (Billy Flynn) is at an all-time high after Thomas’ (Cary Christopher) accident. Thomas is furious at Chad over his friendship with Cat (AnnaLynne McCord), especially after he learned that she impersonated his dead mother.It’s a whole lot of soapy drama that has led to Jennifer fighting Chad for custody of Thomas and Charlotte (Olivia and Oakley Rondou). Jennifer and Jack (Matthew Ashford) want to take their grandchildren back to Boston, away from their father. Again, all because of Cat.
DAYS fans are Team Chad all the way in this custody battle. However, all the drama just might be a way for Chad to leave town in the wake of Flynn’s exit from the Peacock soap.
Flynn wrapped filming last spring after he opted to spread his wings and join The Young and the Restless as Cane. Due to DAYS’ advanced filming schedule, Flynn has been airing as Chad and Cane for months.
Now the time has come for Flynn’s Chad to leave the canvas before Conner Floyd debuts in the role in April 2026. All signs point to this custody drama leading to Chad and his children leaving town for a while.
Remember, Cary also confirmed he was exiting the role of Thomas, so having Chad, Thomas, and Charlotte off-screen together is a way to write him out, too.
Whether Jack and Jennifer get custody or Chad ends up taking the kids out of Salem after he wins, this appears to be how DAYS fans will say goodbye to Flynn and Cary. Perhaps Jack and Chad will find common ground, leading to Chad and the kids living in Boston for a little while.
The holidays are on the horizon, so it’s a safe bet that Flynn’s exit will happen around or shortly after them.
