The Young And The Restless – The Mess COVID-19 Made

Donny Boaz experienced an abrupt exit from “Young and Restless”. On January 31, the actor announced his departure from the show and revealed what he knew that Chance is not being replaced or killed off from the show, rather he is “just not going to be there anymore.”

However, in November 2020, the actor temporarily left the show following his COVID-19 diagnosis. To adhere to health protocols, he took a break.

    I am happy for Donny. I would like to see this actor back as Chance. The way he played Chance seemed to make Abby's character less silly and pathetic. Since he's been gone Abby and the baby story has become rediculous, like she's breeding a pedigree puppy instead of a child. The cast of characters involved deserve better than the baby crew Scooby Doo style story.

    Chance, Y&R made a big mistake letting you go. It's their loss and the show is boring,boring,boring without you. I am glad you have a new job, you have thousands of Y&R fans asking for you back but as the old saying goes "if it's for you, it won't go bye you. I don't think Y&R will survive much longer.

    Y&R let you go but kept others. Don’t understand? Chance kept Abby grounded. Now she is acting like a wack job. And nobody has ever been pregnant!

    Yeah…whenever I see Nina, Tracy, Ashley, Tessa, Mariah, or Abby I'm instantly looking away and scrolling on the phone. Those scenes where Chance texts Abby, or even worse, when he calls and she walks into another room for the conversation are becoming burdensome, this really does insult the audience. We are going to have a Christmas baby, and carrying on this dynamic until December is going to make Y&R look plain silly.
