Y&R’s Melissa Ordway and Conner Floyd Talk the Future of Abby & Chance, Being Recasts and The Secret to Soap Opera Tears

21
I think we need some solid coupling on Y&R and believe Abby and Chance are it. I need to see this couple thrive. The Abby-Devon attraction is not compelling. Chance’s adjustment would make a great plot. I would like to see Abby adjust to working again. These are legacy characters and good actors. Please protect them from character assassination and bad stories. I’d like to see Chance with Paul, Ray, Kevin, Michael, and Christine is an Edge of Night-type story that would revive law and order in Genoa City. Nebulous communications companies are not that exciting.
I don’t mind Abby and Chance staying together…They deserve one another. B-O-R-I-N-G. She’s so hovering and he’s SO DULL he makes Devon seem like Personality Plus! This story has invaded the show like termites and shows no sign of letup. Meanwhile, no Baldwins, Fishers, Traci, Paul. Too much Billy and his ENDLESS psychoses isn’t helping either right now.
Soaphound,
Agree. They certainly are boring. Funny I didn’t feel that way with the other Chance. So which is the problem, old Abby or new Chance? Someone needs to get the pruning shears after him, only if it just gets Abby out of his hair, totally annoying!
Violet, as you’ve probably gathered from my posts I’m a big fan of men with a full head of hair. Billy Miller, Josh Swickard, Joshua Morrow..all have great hair when they’re allowed to keep it. But this goofy habit Abby has developed (and I spotted Jill doing it also) of twirling and petting his unruly locks has become distracting. Normally performers are so appearance conscious I imagine they object to having their hair mussed…so maybe this was an agreed-on thing? And, sadly, it’s the only interesting thing about this dreary couple. And I’m afraid this is only the beginning of… Read more »
Well said.
This couple is a bore The writing is nothing and the chance recast is a miss as are new Noah and Moses restless needs a story and outside of nick Sharon Phyllis and sally there are no other characters to care about
I disagree on nuNoah. I think Rory Gibson is soulful and very competent. He’s playing the character just right… depressed and a little adrift right now. But nuChance? So far he’s just a mumbling mannequin. And please, NO JACK AND PHYLLIS AGAIN! We gave already.
Soaphound, I completely agree with your assessments of Nu-Chance and Nu-Noah. Yes, He is “ soulful” and “competent.” He has a lovely drawl and bedroom eyes. The Chance recast just doesn’t have it. He lacks charisma and just gives a somnolent performance. Abby us already a note, now she’s even more boring. Oh well. At least they replaced the blanket with a real baby. Right now, the only person on Y&R worth watching is Sally.
Oh Harry, I was watching Friday’s episode and whenever Chance’s “bravery” was mentioned, I started to think… the bravest thing this fellow could do is leave home without hair gel and a mirror. Is it just me, or does he mumble? I find myself putting on the Closed Captions when he’s on. Noah, on the other hand, I could uh..listen to, yeah listen to, ALL DAY.
Soaphound
Hey, we finally got a real live baby. He’s cute but doesn’t look too comfortable with daddy Chance. Then again, maybe it’s all those clothes they keep him in, in the house, including hat. I like the new Noah,but hate seeing his cow eyes looking at Tessa. His girlfriend should be popping by soon. Maybe that was her we saw on Friday.
Imagine, Violet, Noah works several years in England/Europe meeting hundreds of available women and can only find (1) a heartbreaker and (2) Tessa, for whom he carries an unlikely, unextinguishable torch. Wow, not exactly a man of the world. I hope they find someone ELSE for such a beautiful, sweet, likeable fellow. And I love the possibility of a friendship/ bromance with Uncle Adam. That would be a sweet oasis. Oh, and back to Chance & Abby…will they PLEASE stop copulating on living room furniture! Eccchhh!
Soaphound, Every time I see these couples making out on the sofa, no showers after, just get up and leave I think as you do. It’s disgusting, even though it’s not real, and as in the case of Abby and Chase and a lot of others, it’s not like they don’t have beds. They want spontaneity, but it’s still sickening to a lot of us. Just a few words about Chance and his reaction to Devon and Dominic. I may be wrong but does he not resent the fact that Devon just comes and goes as he pleases? I won’t… Read more »
Violet, am I wrong but shouldn’t Devon and Mariah have signed contracts agreeing to have no role in Dommy’s life? Abby is going to regret not doing things legally. The “I want you both to be in my son’s life in a BIG WAY” gesture is backfiring. And me thinks Devon is overstepping as usual, thinking he knows what’s best for everyone.
Soaphound,
Maybe Iam wrong but Iam pretty sure I heard them mention a contract a couple of times with Devon and Mariah too. Let’s hear from others about this.
Violet Lemm…Even with the covid precautions on Y&R and GH I’m wondering what parents would allow their babies to be live on these soaps right now.
Hope her gets better in role and yes chance not her and Devon come on writers get better not worse although need new good writers. Not coming back to old lovers. Stories getting worse
I would absolutely love to see Abby and Devon together and it looks like I’m in n the minority here but I’ve always loved their friendship and chemistry and always felt that there was something more and deeper between them. Just my opinion guys but I love me some Abby and Devon!!!
Mister J, I’m surprised to say I’m beginning to agree. Mainly because this Chance character is way too high maintenance and apparently will always put his job first, though he claims otherwise. And let’s face it, Devon is going to be the one to challenge Chance’s paternal shortcomings. I thought it was going to be Mariah, but she’s gonna have enough trouble keeping Tessa & Noah apart. Abby can’t seem to get a break in the romance department; I guess she takes after Ashley.
Well this actor is DOA on arrival MO has absolutely no chemistry with anyone and JG writing her as a lead actress ugh! This was my favorite soap for years I have now not watched a full episode in three years ! Sharon still pouring coffee ! Phyllis still swinging her arms and stealing clothes from her daughters closet dresses like a hooker! Billy the same whiner that he was back in 2012 Victor still the same one week mad they next week hugging somebody just stupif
Neat video with Melissa Ordway and Conner Floyd. Nice behind-the-scenes tid bits.
Absolutely boring-change the storyline or get them off the air
