The Young And The Restless Spoilers: Donny Boaz Reveals Why He Almost Passed On Joining Y&R

CBS The Young and the Restless spoilers and updates reveal that one CBS soap star is opening up about the auditioning process. Y&R teased the possibility of a Chance Chancellor recast for months before Donny Boaz made his long-awaited debut. Now Boaz is giving fans the inside scoop on his experience in landing the role.

In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Boaz admitted he was reluctant to accept a job in the soap world. He knew the extreme demands that came along with daytime dramas, so he put up a fight. “I had zero attraction to daytime TV. Zero. The reason is that it’s the hardest work in the business, it really is,” Boaz said.

Boaz acknowledged the “mind-blowing” amount of dialogue soap stars have to tackle, which often presents a challenge. The Young and the Restless star had gotten spoiled to the slower pace of film and primetime, so he wasn’t keen on giving that up at first.

The Young And The Restless Spoilers – Donny Boaz Competitive Side

However, Boaz’s competitive side took over after his manager talked him into trying for the role of Chance. The Y&R actor shared a never-before-spilled secret about what he did before he scored the part. It turns out Boaz resorted to some parking lot research!

“I knew that I was testing against four other guys,” Boaz said. “I haven’t told this to anybody, but when I got to the parking lot, I was about 30 minutes early…I wanted to see who my competition was.” As part of that plan, Boaz took note of the names listed on the other parking spots. He snapped pics with his phone and looked up each actor on IMDb – just to see who he’d be battling with once he got inside.

“I ended up knowing two of the guys, but I felt like I had a little bit of an edge on all of them,” Boaz said. “Luckily, everything worked out in my favor!”

Y&R Spoilers – Audition

We also know from a previous interview that Boaz tested with both Melissa Ordway (Abby Newman) and Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers) as part of his audition. That could be a hint about Chance’s love life! (Chance Morrow) reunion isn’t going to last, so Chance could be next on her list!

    Yes, but not in scenes with Phyllis. This guy seems like he is a good actor but these stories they have him doing with Phyllis are rediculous and unentertaining. He needs a good story with some of the better cast of characters and God knows they could use some. Paul, Jill, Michael, Lauren, Jack, I would even be interested in seeing him and Ester have a story together, just get him away from character/story destroying Phyllis and let’s see what he can really do.
