Love Story Creator Connor Hines on Turning Rejection Into Success

Welcome Connor! Connor Hines — actor, writer, producer, and creator of Love Story — stops by Clyde Confidential with his assistant Sam for one of the most candid, behind-the-scenes conversations yet. From how Sam went from saying "good morning" as a Ryan Murphy receptionist to packing up his life in five days and moving to New York, to Connor pitching his way into the "Show Creator" title against all odds, this episode is a masterclass in saying yes before you're ready. Connor opens up about what it was really like to create and showrun for the first time — the imposter syndrome, the 18-hour shoot days, the loneliness of the job, and the moment he watched the pilot in the back of an Uber and finally knew they had something. Sam gets his flowers too, because this is just as much his story: navigating eight Brooklyn roommates, a flooded apartment, and learning on the fly what it means to be a creator's right hand — not just logistics, but creative sounding board, confidant, and therapist. Whether you're chasing your own big break or just need a reminder that momentum beats standing still, this one's going to hit.
