HIGHLIGHT REEL

DAYS's Billy Flynn (Chad) looks back on some of his most memorable storylines.

Burn This: Chad and Abigail (Kate Mansi) were forever bonded after Ben's reign of terror.

Chad Framed as The Necktie Killer and the Showdown with Ben, 2015 

At any point did you think Chad might be the killer? “I knew it wasn’t me. It was made clear behind the scenes. I remember it being Ben. Also, I knew it wasn’t going to be Chad because of where my character was at the time and the relationship growing with Abigail. It would have deadened any of that story.”

How did you like the way your adversarial relationship with Robert Scott Wilson (Alex/then-Ben) developed? “From my end, obviously, Chad was on the winning end. Rob and I had such a blast playing those characters opposite each other. What Rob did, that twist for him, gave him something great to play and he did it really well. He was so good in that storyline. He and I laughed a lot during that period. What Chad was and what Ben was were different. Ben had a chip on his shoulder with so much to prove. I always looked at it that he was an easy target for Chad. Chad sort of underplayed things. He used charm, wit and humor as a way to win the little battles with Ben. If you look back at all the little moments that led to Ben turning into The Necktie Killer, it all worked so perfectly together — the performances, the writing ... It feels like it was a lucky storm, this magic that just kind of happened.”
