The Young and the Restless’ Chance and Daniel find humor in his arrest

On The Young and the Restless, Chance may be nearly single-handedly ruining Daniel’s life, but behind the scenes, the actors who play the characters haven’t lost their sense of humor.

This week, Michael Graziadei posted an Instagram photo with Y&R co-star Conner Floyd from the set of the Genoa City Police Department.

Chance arrested Daniel on The Young and the Restless

About three weeks ago, Conner Floyd posted a picture of his hand holding a badge. In the background were the neon coffee cup lights of Crimson Lights and he captioned the picture, “Guess who’s back?”.

It was Floyd’s way of announcing that his character, Chance, had rejoined the Genoa City Police Force on The Young and the Restless.

Fast forward a few weeks and a lot had happened since Chance rejoined the force. Despite dating Daniel Romalotti’s sister, Summer Newman (Allison Lanier), Chance zeroed in on Daniel as the prime suspect in the murder of Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom).

Viewers and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) watched as Chance arrested and cuffed Daniel at the Genoa City Athletic Club and brought him to the station where he was booked, fingerprinted, and had his mugshot taken.

Chance and Daniel's behind-the-scenes fun

Conner Floyd played along

On Floyd’s post, he captioned a simple hashtag of #FreeDaniel. Followers wanted to know what the actor knew, and asked him the most pressing question they have had about the show all month:

“Who did it!!!??? Tell us!!!!” demanded one of Floyd’s IG followers named kflooo.

Floyd wasn’t about to give away that secret, but he did respond by teasing that Colonel Mustard did it in the study with the candle stick.

Other fans joked along with the actor, such as smg.1990, who said,

“My dude I hope they are paying you triple for all of the times you've had to say 'I'm just following the evidence...' 😂😂."

Floyd saw the humor and added to it.

“That and ‘I’m just doing my job,’” he quipped.
