I started on this beloved soap when I was just 4. How lucky am I that I got to call it my home for almost 6 years!? I have been so blessed to always be busy working, but because of that I couldn\u2019t be in two places at once, and I had to leave the show to go work on other projects.\u201d<\/p>\n Christopher also gave a shout-out to Billy Flynn, who plays Chad, calling him \u201cthe best tv dad a kid could have\u201d and noting that it was \u201cso great working with\u201d and \u201clearning from\u201d him. Cary airs this week on Friday, October 31.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, it appears that Alice Halsey, who plays Rachel Black, will also be exiting the soap.
