‘The Young and the Restless’ Fans ‘Yelling’ Over ‘Disrespectful’ Ending of a ‘Legacy Family’ originally appeared on Parade.
The Young and the Restless has been on a bit of a killing spree this summer. Day player Carter (Vincent Stalba) and legacy character Chance (Conner Floyd) are the latest to meet their maker.
As Parade reported, Floyd left the CBS soap to play Chad on Days of Our Lives. However, Y&R fans did not expect Chance to get killed, and they are not happy about it.

Social media has been on fire, with fans sounding off on the fact that Chance was killed instead of simply written out since he’s rarely seen on the show. Plus, he was the last of the Chancellor family still in Genoa City.
“Chance is the last of the Chancellor’s ? Josh G just ended that prominent family #YR,” read an X post.
Another fan shared, “Actually seeing Chance dying on Y&R was more jarring than seeing the stills. I was yelling at the screen: NOOOOOOOOOO.” A different fan insisted, “The whole storyline sucked. Killing Chance is as bad as Paul William being written off. But hey Nick & Sharon kissed. 4 deaths in 2 wks. May be a new record for Y & R.”
“Killing Chance Chancellor off this way is so disrespectful to the shows history and longtime fans but that’s the JG way 😭🔥 #YR,” said a fan.

One fan expressed, “They killed off Chance. So we’re just erasing the entire Chancellor legacy now? Might as well kick out Devon and Abby, bulldoze the mansion and turn it into a Genoa City Spirit Halloween. #YR.”
“Killing off Chance, one of the last remaining Chancellors, a #YR legacy family since it’s inception is inexcusable,” wrote another.
“They hardly ever showed Chance they could have simply let him leave Genoa City not the earth 😭 #YR,” insisted a fan.
A different fan stated, “What was the point of bringing him back? JG was shoving him and Abby down our throats only to let them both go. MESS.”
One fan spilled, “Imagine killing off the last one in the Chancellor bloodline with a disposable, random character and weak backstory for ratings, instead of giving him a proper exit story without getting unalived. #yr.”

Another fan shared, “They really killed off 3 charcters [sic] in a time span of 3 weeks lmaoo. First Cole, then Damian, and now Chance. Well 4 characters actually, if you want to count day-player Carter. #YR.”
