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

Giovanni Mazza On Contract at General Hospital: What Are Your First Impressions?
This week, General Hospital introduced newcomer Giovanni Mazza in the role of Giovanni Palmieri, who apparently is Brook Lynn’s (Amanda Setton) second cousin, one removed or so the story goes.
The character of Gio showed up at Brook Lynn’s wedding to Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) and played the violin at the ceremony. As has been previously reported, Mazza in real-life is a professional violinist and actor.
Upon making his first appearance on the ABC daytime drama series back on May 15th, fans wondered if Gio will be sticking around and that was confirmed by the closing credits of the May 17th episode where Mazza’s name is included along with other contract players.

When the news of Mazza’s casting was announced, the talent young man took to his Instagram and shared the good news, expressing, “I am so honored, grateful, and ecstatic to announce the big news! The biggest thank you to General Hospital for bringing me.” He closed his sentiments with “So much love and joy to my new fam! YAY!!! ”
Commenting on his post included new castmates Evan Hofer (Dex) saying, “Happy to have you brother,” plus Tabyana Ali (Trina), Eden McCoy (Joss) and ABC executive Nathan Varni who said, “Congratulations! Welcome to GH!

During the May 17th episode, Gio had an exchange with Dex, where he mentioned that his father was in the military back in early 2000’s. Previously, Gio revealed to Chase that his father died in the military when he was young. So this begs the question, who is Gio’s dad?
What were you first impressions of Giovanni Mazza in the role of Gio? Who do you think he might be romantically involved with and might be also related to other than the Cerullos? Comment below.
