The Young and the Restless fans are buzzing with speculation over the possible return of Chance Chancellor, especially after Melissa Ordway (Abby Winters) shared a playful Instagram exchange with her real-life husband, Justin Gaston.

Justin Gaston Eyes Chance Role

In a recent post, Ordway asked fans which Y&R character they would want to play. Gaston responded without hesitation: “Chance,” sparking excitement among fans who remember his brief tenure as the character. Gaston previously stepped in as a temporary recast for Chance in 2020 before the role was permanently handed over to Connor Floyd.

Gaston and Ordway’s real-life marriage added a layer of charm to Chance and Abby’s on-screen wedding, making the couple a fan favorite. While Gaston’s comment seemed playful, it has reignited rumors that he could reprise the role if Chance’s story allowed for a comeback.

Chance’s Fate

Chance’s most recent storyline ended tragically when he was shot by Carter during a tense drama in France, seemingly leaving no room for return. However, soap operas are notorious for creative twists, resurrections, and faked deaths, which leaves the door open for the character to reappear.

Fans are speculating that a resurrection plot could tie into deeper storylines and shake up Genoa City drama once again. With Connor Floyd now portraying Chad DiMera on Days of Our Lives, a Chance comeback could potentially see Gaston stepping back into the role, blending real-life chemistry with fan-favorite storytelling.

What’s Next?

While nothing is confirmed, Y&R’s history of dramatic twists and surprise returns makes the possibility exciting. If Chance were to return, it could provide new tension, romance, and intrigue, particularly in Abby’s ongoing storylines.

The show continues to tease other major comings and goings, so viewers are encouraged to stay tuned for updates. Fans have already begun imagining what Chance’s revival could look like, from secret survival plots to shocking reveals that could upend the lives of Genoa City’s residents.

For now, Justin Gaston’s comment has sparked hope, laughter, and speculation—but only time will tell if Chance Chancellor will truly rise from the ashes of his dramatic exit.
