The Chancellor family is one of the most happening clans on Y&R where drama never ends.
Appearing on the soap since its inception days, this family has gone on to become a
staple part of the show while unexpectedly growing in size year after year.
You may know the family started with Phillip Chancellor II and his wife Katherine “Kay” Chancellor.
They never had a child together but they sure did expand the family tree with other partners.
Let’s take a look!
To begin with, let’s see what a family Kay created.
Katherine was married to Phillip Chancellor II from the day she made her debut on Y&R.
However, her backstory revealed that she was married to a man named Gary Reynolds in the past.
Gary never appeared onscreen as he was already dead.
But his son Brock Reynolds had a pretty good run on Y&R.
Brock has a daughter, Mackenzie Browning, from his affair with a woman named Amanda
Browning whom he had met in India.
In 2009, it was revealed that Katherine had one more son born from an extra-marital affair
while she was still married to her first husband.
Apparently, Kay had an affair with judge Arthur Hendricks, Gary’s best friend, while Gary was working in Europe.
The affair resulted in a baby whom she gave up for adoption right after birth because
she knew that her marriage would be doomed if Gary ever found out about her infidelity.
As it happens, Kay’s illegitimate child was born on the same day as Jill Foster.
So for a few years, they believed they were mother and daughter.
It was finally revealed that the baby Jill had given up for adoption was Tucker McCall,
the founder of multi-billion dollar company Tucker McCall Unlimited.
He was on Y&R for about four years during which he romanced women like Sharon Collins,
Jill Fenmore, Genevieve Atkinson, and even married Ashley Abbott.
In a shocking turn of events, Devon Hamilton turned out to be the biological son of Tucker
who was born to his former lover, Yolanda Hamilton.
Last year, Devon contributed as a sperm donor to give Abby a baby, who is now a Chancellor heir.
The baby is named Dominic Newman-Abbott-Winters-Chancellor.
So that’s Katherine’s side of the family tree for you.
Now let’s take a look at Phillip’s side.
While Phillip was married to Katherine, he fell for his wife’s confidante Jill Foster.
Katherine tried to keep them apart but it was too late.
Jill got pregnant and Phillip asked for a divorce, which Kay agreed to.
However, before Phillip and Jill united, he got in a car wreck while drunk Kay had been driving.
Phillip married Jill on his deathbed and died shortly.
Later, Jill gave birth to their son and named him Phillip Chancellor III.
Phillip III grew up in boarding school.
When he returned to Genoa City as a teenager, he grew close to Katherine.
Meanwhile, he became romantically involved with Christine Blair as well as Nina Webster.
Phillip planned on marrying Christine but then Nina became pregnant with his child and
eventually gave birth to Phillip Chancellor IV aka Chance Chancellor.
Chance got married to Abby in late 2020, following which they planned on having a baby.
However, medical tests showed that neither of them could have a baby naturally.
Chance then left on a secret mission while Abby carried out surrogacy to create a pseudo-Chancellor.
Abby ultimately had a baby whom she named Dominic, the same baby that Kay’s grandson Devon helped make.
That’s all about the Chancellor family.
