‘Young and the Restless’: Dylan Returns with Chance? Steve Burton Wraps ‘GH’ Run
Young and the Restless could bring back Dylan McAvoy now that Steve Burton is officially done at GH. With more to come from the Chance Chancellor (Conner Floyd) storyline, will the CBS soap use this as a way to work Dylan back onto the character canvas?
Young and the Restless News: Chance Chancellor Alive – But More Cop Work to Do
Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) proves to be quite the detective as she locates her missing and presumed dead husband Chance Chancellor. But, while the rest of her family accepted his death, she held out hope. Using an old photo found in Chance’s belongs, Abby tracked him to Spain on Young and the Restless.
However, Chance is still in danger. So, the state department decided to allow the world to think he died in his safe house explosion. But Abby knew in her heart Chance was still alive. Young and the Restless spoilers indicate she secretly flew to Spain to follow her hunch. The couple has a happy reunion. Abby shares the news that they have a son.
Of course, Chance is thrilled with the development. So, Young and the Restless scoops show Abby begins to make plans for the couple to return to Genoa City. However, there is more work to be done. It’s the perfect time to reveal he’s been working with another undercover agent. And that could be Dylan McAvoy. Will Y&R bring his character back?
Steve Burton to Y&R? No Vax Mandate at CBS Soap
We reported a while ago that Steve Burton would exit General Hospital. Despite naysayers saying it was a rumor — it turned out to be true. The actor himself admitted that he’d asked for both a medical and religious waiver against ABC’s mandate. Burton said both were denied so GH let him go for not complying.
As of now, though, The Young and the Restless has no mandate. A CBS daytime insider tells us they have no plan to implement one at present. But that could change at any time. Now, there is a storyline in progress that would open the door to reintroducing Dylan seamlessly. On Y&R, Chance Chancellor’s not ready to go home yet.
He said he won’t return home with his wife until he catches the men who killed his team members in the house explosion. Young and the Restless updates indicate his spouse doesn’t like that one bit. This would be the perfect opportunity to write Dylan back in — adding him to the investigation. Could we see that Dylan is on the case in Spain too?
Will Young and the Restless Bring Back Burton as Dylan?
Soap Dirt readers may recall that the CBS soap lured Michelle Stafford away from GH to reprise her role as Phyllis Summers. And they lured Steve Burton away years ago when they created the role of Dylan for him. So, it could be that The Young and the Restless will bring him back now.
Someone from the set said Y&R was in talks with Burton. A GH source said the actor notified the ABC soap ahead of time so they could write an ending that made sense for the storyline. That means he might have been talking to the other soap for weeks before his on-screen exit at General Hospital.
So, Dylan McAvoy could return to Young and the Restless shortly. And Dylan could hop right into the Chance storyline. Dylan may work with the undercover agent to wrap up his business in Spain to return to his life with his wife and son. So, both Chance Chancellor and Dylan may return to Young and the Restless together. Keep watching to see if GH’s loss is Y&R’s gain.
