At least they'll likely keep Chad and Abby together; and, as much as I prefer the ability to recast character even with romantic pairings, I'm glad it'll be the better iteration of the couple leaving together.
It's unfortunate for Days, but Billy is one I hope we'll see great things from beyond daytime tv.

I think he's a great actor, he shows emotions quite well. I also like his realism with delivering his lines - he doesn't always call her Abigail (sometimes Abby) and he also stumbles on his words sometimes. Intentional or not, it feels like real speech to me.
I will miss him!!
EDIT: I have been reading on another board that apparently Billy Flynn is not well-liked and very difficult to work with and that he changes dialogue and subtext to the anger of the writers, etc. A lot of people think he was fired. Hmmmm.

Hmmm....
On the one hand, that's not generally a good thing to do, but on the other, I can't say I blame him with Days; especially with some of the questionable choices they've tried to make, especially with Chad.
Given that he's one of the few characters who has managed stay consistently likeable, and depending on to what degree the show ultimately got their way in spite of him supposedly going the other way, it makes me wonder who actually deserves credit in making the right character choices. Given their track record, I wouldn't give the writers or show runners much credit in making the right decisions...
And if he was such a diva or difficult to work with, I would think they would have gotten rid of him sooner. Sounds a bit like what happened with That back in the day. Here's hoping they don't give him the Joey Tribianni treatment. How many loved ones can Abby see fall down an elevator shaft?

I’ve read some posts on Daytime Royalty that suggests Chad May be recast again. If they could get Kate Mansi to stay on, I’d be okay with that. I thought that Billy was a much better Chad, but if Casey came back, that works for me. I feel that Billy pairs better with Marci and Casey with Kate.

LOL Stargazer...I hope Chad doesn't go the way of Dr. Drake Ramoray!
I really think Casey's time and portrayal of Chad has come and gone. I can't see his aloof "looking through my bangs" face as Chad.
I just love Billy and I think he's wonderful on the show and as Chad. I LOVED Billy and Kate as Chabby. MM has done OK as Abigail but I am looking forward to KM returning.
I hope they just leave the show together.

Wow. This is a big loss for a show that finally found its footing with Flynn as a lead after floundering in the wake of James Scott's exit.
Who will step in and fill that role now?
