"We are excited to have Billy Flynn joining our Days family this Fall," says co-executive producer Greg Meng. "Chad's return will change the dynamic of Salem society in ways that fans won't want to miss!"

Flynn, whose acting credits include Hawaii Five-0 and short film 80 in 10, will make his first appearance as Chad on September 12.
