Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Conner said that when he first met Eric, he had every reason to be nervous. After all, he is a huge daytime television legend! Conner put it this way, “I met him when we shot Chance’s welcome home party and I was really nervous because I had a long speech that I had to do in front of everybody but I wanted to show them that I came to play. After I got through it, Eric said to me, ‘That was great, man. Good job, you know your stuff, which is awesome.’ And then he gave me that good old veteran/rookie talk, which I thought was awesome.”

Conner also opened up about his first impression of actor Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott) when he first met him, too. He said, “The first time I met Peter, he pulled me aside and gave me this whole rundown, that people here expect me to show up, know my stuff and be professional. He welcomed me to the team and said, ‘You better bring it.’ I really appreciated him for taking the time to talk to me.”
