Then I started messing with him by giving him a fake backstory. Ordway: He didn’t need my help because he knew his lines and he knew all of my lines, too. She was my only friend I had at that point and she showed me how to do everything, like how not to block someone’s light. I finally found out maybe a few days later and I was so thrilled for him.ĭigest: Conner, what stands out about your first day?įloyd: I had a ton of lines to memorize and having Melissa there was extra-helpful. I remember asking, “Anyone want my input?” and they were like, “Have a great day.” I was hoping to get the inside scoop and someone would tell me, “Oh, yeah, we’re going to hire him,” but everyone was pretty tight-lipped. Ordway: First of all, I always want to give my two cents but no one cares what I think. I wanted him to know that they had been through a lot together, like trying to get pregnant before he disappeared.ĭigest: Melissa, do you remember when you found out that Conner got the part? I wanted to give him some backstory so the scene would make sense. Ordway: Our characters share a lot of history, and the scene we were using for the audition was an old Chance and Abby scene I had already done before.

Melissa was telling me, “He’s FBI and we thought he was dead but he’s back.” I remember thinking at first, “Man, this girl is lying to me, for sure,” but that wasn’t the case. It basically went, “You’re reading?”, “Oh, yeah, I’m reading,” then she started giving me this whole character breakdown, which was so beyond the character breakdown I got. Digest: Conner, what did you think of her interest in you?Ĭonner Floyd: It was kind of awkward.
