Various soap sites are reporting Conner Floyd is the new Chance.

Maybe it's because the edible I took is starting to kick in, but he looks like a mix of John Driscoll and Donny Boaz.

I think he looks like Bradley Cooper a bit in that second picture. I do wonder if they have finally recast Chance again. I wonder why they couldn't get Justin Gaston back, but maybe he actually didn't want to be in that role longer term. I would have taken him, because I think he was a nice fit for the role. I also really liked John Driscoll in the role. John did take a break from acting and joined the military, but I believe he recently went back to acting, and was doing an audio drama/podcast soap opera.

I had seen this earlier today but wasn’t going to share until I saw official confirmation lol but this was the pic I kept seeing plastered all over, he looks great. Can he act though?

 

 

Often those publicity pics make them look better than onscreen.

i would have been happy with John Driscoll. We have nu Faith, nu Noah etc so an 'original' would be nice. 

Here's another pic of him.

He has a four minute demo tape on IMBd and he looks like he can do comedy & drama.

I think he's adorable and quite the upgrade. The challenge will be the sub-par writing, some actors can deal with it better than others.

I hollered at edible.

 

That said...I prefer Gaston (and John D.), but he looks like such a Bradley Cooper/Scott Speedman hybrid, I would be down for this. 

 

He visually works more than Donny Boaz did, but I'm still baffled as to why Justin Gaston wasn't offered the role.. because, he worked when I did watch his scenes.

Soap Opera Digest just confirmed it!

I always Have to ask how old is he? Looks like late 30s/ or 40?

It's pretty cool that Melissa Ordway is almost a decade older than him. That hardly ever happens in Hollywood. I guess it helps that he looks older than his age.
