Conner Floyd Marks 1-Year as Y&R’s Chance, Sharing: “Thanks For All The Love and Support “
The Young and the Restless Conner Floyd is celebrating his first anniversary with the top-rated CBS soap opera in the role of Chance Chancellor.
Floyd, who has now established himself with the cast and in story, told Soap Opera Digest in his first interview with them back in November of 2021: “I’m excited to be around all of this talent and soak up as much as I can from these savvy vets.The first couple of weeks were crazy, but I feel like I’m figuring this out and finding my rhythm.”
Now a year later, (Floyd starting taping Y&R in October of 2021), the actor took to his Instagram with a special nod and thank you, relating: “One year in Genoa City. Thanks for all the love and support.”
Michael Fairman TV had the pleasure of speaking with Conner along with on-screen lady love Melissa Ordway (Abby), after he first appeared on Y&R and Chance’s return began to play itself. You can check out that interview on the Michael Fairman Channel, or watch it below.
So, glad Conner has made it through one year of soap opera boot camp and is now thriving at Y&R? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Just like Ray, he hangs around the Coffee shop, has coffee, has no storyline.
Don’t forget the endless weeks of haggling about his bonding issues with Domicile (or whatever his name is) and his attraction to bad-news Chelsea. Too bad he’s such a dullard because Conner is really gorgeous.
Well, can see the signs already. He’s finally getting sick of his spoiled brat of a wife and will jump in to a worse situation with Chelsea.i don’t get why all the men fall for her loony crap. She needs to be committed again. With stalking Johnny and making Conner miserable, it’s not tight. Y
My word, Violet, Miss Chelsea is beginning to scare me. That quick-trigger paranoia she displayed on Friday was REALLY creepy. Does she really think Chance, Sharon, and Adam all got together in the space of five minutes to stage some weird intervention at a coffee house? Wow! I feel great empathy for sufferers of mental illness, as my family has experienced it. It’s terribly painful and confusing, to put it mildly. Chelsea is there; she needs help… yesterday.
Soaphound
Yes, she’s getting worse, stalking Johnny now, poor kid, he’s no match for her.At least Conner isn’t with her full time. She’s coming unglued alright. Maybe Chance can distract her by letting her run her hands through his hair now and then.
Wish Y&R would really give Chance agency and a spotlight. His PTSD storyline was downplayed when there could have been so much more. You have a handsome actor and a vital character with so much legacy. And why are Genoa City police people made so inconsequential?
The best Chance yet and hes settling in very naturally! He’s easy on the eyes and has plenty of charm. Abby , Melissa Ordway I feel also finally found a partner she had chem with! Would love to see him and Adam have a beer together because I know they had history back in Vegas and in general or even with Billy , Lily and Abby since all four go way back. Just normal scenes of characters who don’t always interact together instead of those only in storyline s together. I remember Bell used to do that with Michael , Lauren , Paul , Nina etc …
I agree, Damien. I liked Adam having a friend, something his power-mad sister Victoria has never managed. Nick has already abused Adam’s efforts to reconcile, helping Nick with his PTSD, so there goes that relationship. I’d love a bromance with Chance and Adam. GH has had several sweet bromances: Drew and Curtis; Chase and Michael before Mikey showed his true, traitorous colors; Sonny and Jason; Jason and Spinelli. Most men are capable of being more than childish rivals even if Nick Newman isn’t.
Right?! The only tired angle Josh Griffith brought to Adam vs Nick was reconciling them and having them lean on each other after Nick killed Ashland supposedly. I liked Adam and Nick as brothers and was hoping they d team up against Daddy . But it seems Griffith had no where to go but put Sally into the fold and now Nick has become sleazy and unrecognizable. I never thought Josh Morrow could be anything but sexy but in this latest hoorah he comes across as a pedophile. It’s that gross. Nick and Sally is sick
There was the scene last week at Crimson Lights that was so sincere when Adam revealed himself and asked Nick to back off and Nick looked sympathetic. Nick ofcourse couldn’t control his hormones and met with Sally at Noah’s ugly new club.
Connor Floyd seems so cool as Chance I also would love for Paul , Christine and Nina to pop in and counsel him. Maybe at the gcpd set if we ever see that again. Lol
This is what JM calls a storyline any time he is rolling around on a couch or floor or desk top with the newest gal.
Glad you mentioned that “work date” between Sally and Nick. How about when he started sniffing her perfume? Reminded me of Trusty the bloodhound from LADY AND THE TRAMP. Of course in this case, Nick and Sally are both tramps. Is it just me or does Noah’s new club (apparently bankrupt after only one night) resemble an airport terminal waiting room, complete with a full bar? And that dancing? I’ve seen smoother choreography at the Indy 500. And Kyle’s “moves” on the dance floor are second only to Elaine’s on SEINFELD.
He needs a better storyline.
He is a nice guy who just doesnt fit into the show. But he is a cop and they dont do well in a show full of crooked business people! We have one cop in town who is relevant and thats Paul. Paul who, right?
Do not like this guy—-zero personality—what exactly does he do? He is a “fill-in” husband for Abby who does not seem to exude any attraction/sensuality with any of her past and present male partners. I guess they’re meant for each other—-insipid!!
Don’t follow closely. Just viewed or a long time. Chance and Noah are both appealing for me as actors and personally. Not sure how Aly sits with me. I keep following the shares in the public offering and don’t have enough background. No idea who this new man is — Mrs. Chancellor’s son? Think Nick and Sally don’t have any particular chemistry; just angst from Nick killing a person and Sally from breakup with Adam. Also, not meant unkindly, but Nick has played a rather background role for quite a while. His acting skills could use a little brush up. Where I live news often cuts off Y&R. Have one more to watch. I tend to like this site.
Nick is a lot better character when he is his own man and not under his bitchy big sister’s thumb. She likes running his private life as well as the business part. I’m wondering how long he’ll take her interference in his life. P.S, his acting skills are fine, it’s the lousy scripts he’s given.
I appreciate your comments. Nick just seems a little stiff for me, but always appreciate his presence. On the other hand, minus the months with Ashland which just didn’t seem to fit into the scheme of things, Victoria has had stellar performances as she slowly morphs into her father.
Chance you are wonderful, great actor love your character. Love all the actors on the show, nick will always be my favorite. You are all very talented
While Finn (Tanner Novlan) is unaware that his wife Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is pregnant and that she is supposedly carrying Carter Walton’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) child on The Bold and the Beautiful, Tanner Novlan is keeping busy, not only on the CBS soap, but in an upcoming new feature for the streamer Roku entitled Cowboy Hearts.
Laguna Beach star Kristen Cavallari is the lead opposite Novlan. The log lines of the story tease, “When a no-nonsense reality TV producer (Cavallari) is sent to Georgia to oversee the reboot of the hit dating show ‘Cowboy Hearts,’ she expects chaos behind the scenes, not romantic sparks with the cowboy himself (Novlan). Now, with the cameras rolling and her job on the line, she’ll have to decide if love is worth going off script.”
Taking to his Instagram to confirm his casting, Tanner Novlan shared, “Cowboy Hearts coming to @therokuchannel early ‘27!” The caption was posted alongside two photos of Tanner in the film wearing a cowboy hat, and a video with Tanner shirtless in said cowboy hat, but riding a horse. Tanner’s wife, former B&B actress, Kayla Ewell (ex-Caitlin Ramirez) joked in the comment thread, “Can you bring the cowboy hat home?”

KRISTEN CAVALLARI RETURNS TO ACTING AFTER 15 YEARS
Cavallari also recently starred as herself in an episode of ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville, but Cowboy Hearts marks her first acting role in 15 years since she appeared in an episode of ABC comedy series, The Middle. Earlier in her career, Kristen appeared in the Laguna Beach spinoff, The Hills (as herself), plus episodes of Veronica Mars and CSI: NY.
The partnership of Roku and Cavallari comes from her having the biggest unscripted launch ever on the Roku platform with The Reunion: Laguna Beach. Now, Cowboy Hearts will launch sometime next year with Cavallari saying in a statement to Deadline, “I’m so excited to be stepping back into acting and getting to do something completely different with a rom-com. After such a great experience working with Roku on The Reunion: Laguna Beach, it feels especially exciting to be working with their team again — but this time for a scripted film. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
MORE THAN JUST BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL
As for Tanner Novlan, he has been playing Dr. John Finn Finnegan since July of 2020 on the CBS daytime drama series. He’s also well known for his role as the bad actor/ spokesperson in the Liberty Biberty commercial spots for Liberty Mutual, and his recurring role on Roswell, New Mexico.
Novlan is no stranger as a leading man in rom-coms, too. He previously appeared in 2019’s My Best Friend’s Christmas, 2022’s Christmas Class Reunion, and 2024’s Debbie Macomber’s Joyful Mrs. Miracle.
So, intrigued to see Tanner in Cowboy Hearts when it comes out next year? On B&B, do you think Finn is really the baby-daddy to Steffy’s unborn baby that will be revealed later down the road? Let us know via the comment section.

Longtime General Hospital favorite, Kelly Monaco (ex-Sam McCall), took to her Instagram on Tuesday, September 15 and shared that she is six months, seven days sober from alcohol. Monaco played Sam for 21 years on the ABC soap opera.
Accompanied by a screenshot from the I Am Sober app that tracks the progress of anyone struggling with or trying to not drink, Monaco wrote, “Now the whole 6/7 thing makes sense! #duces.”
Monaco has kept a very low profile since her final episode on General Hospital aired back on October 30, 2024, when Sam had a shocking heart attack and died. It was later revealed that Daytime Emmy nominee, Jeff Kober (ex-Cyrus Renault) injected Sam’s IV with a fatal dose of digitalis.

Jumping into the comment thread on Kelly announcing her sobriety were several of her former GH co-stars including Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny, GH) who shared, “Love this. Congrats! 👏👏👏,” Ingo Rademacher (ex-Jax, GH) who just posted the hands up and heart emojis, and Lexi Ainsworth (ex-Kristina, GH) who wrote, “So proud of you 👏 badass.”

DANCING WITH THE STARS BEGINS NEW SEASON; KELLY WAS THE SEASON ONE CHAMP
With this season’s Dancing with the Stars about to kick-off tonight, in which Kelly was the first-ever celebrity winner in season one and returned for an All-Star version, might we hear from her on her picks or thoughts on this year’s batch of contestants?
