Devon is really more a Winters. Neither he nor Tucker grew up with the Chancellors.

Matters not!  They are Chancellors by birth, and on this show, that is what counts!

Ashley is not an Abbott by birth and neither is Jack now. 

 

They're Chancellors by birth but weren't really around the Chancellor family.

How?

Katherine's son and grandson.  No?

Did Devon and Mac ever have scenes since KK returned this year?

Yes.  But Kay was a Chancellor only by marriage.  Tucker was the result of Kay's affair with Arthur Hendricks.  So, saying he and Devon are Chancellors by birth would be inaccurate, IMO.

 

Also, unless I'm mistaken, didn't Kay's affair occur during her first marriage to Gary Reynolds?

Makes sense, but I think with just about everyone, when we say Chancellor, we think Katherine and the money attached.

Well, in that case, we should say Reynolds, because -- again, IIRC -- it was Gary Reynolds' company which Kay, as his widow, gave to Phillip to run.  And Brock -- who is a Reynolds by birth, which would in turn make Mac a Reynolds by birth -- took off to Europe or wherever because he disagreed with Kay's decision.

Ok.

You know, I still feel uneasy about the fact that Kay willed at least part of her late husband's estate -- whether the late husband in question was Gary Reynolds or Phillip Chancellor probably makes no difference -- to a grandson who wouldn't even exist if she hadn't committed adultery.  I realize Kay was attempting to do right by her grandson after giving his bio dad up for adoption and denying his existence for so long, but...really?  That's how you choose to make it up to Devon?  By giving him part of another man's legacy who is entirely unrelated to him or his dad; and who, if he were still alive, might be more than a little resentful toward this living reminder of his wife's unfaithfulness?  Couldn't she have given him -- oh, I don't know -- some Shepard money instead?

 

To me, it was as if Kay was rubbing her infidelity and its results in her dead husbands' faces, lol.

Devon has the money. Katherine wanted him to have it. The rest of the family is perfectly fine with it.

 

With that said, Mackenzie & Devon are Chancellors as much as Nina or Jill.

 

Unfortunately the show doesn't care about The Chancellors unless it's to allow random characters run their company as a sign of legitimacy.

Chance ascending the ranks of CI and collaborating as well as competing with HWG seems like a no-brainer, in terms of storylines.

You're right though, clearly, Y&R doesn't give a flying fig and the show's all the worse for their indifference.

Unfortunately, I don't think the show still remembers that Phillip is back from the dead, let alone that Chance is still out there, too.
