My first two were at a mall opening I met Linda Dano and Stephen Schnetzer. Linda was so gracious and looked so fabulous. It was for an opening of a Sears store. I honestly say I don't remember much about Stephen except his hair. This was about 15 years ago. Maybe longer.

I met Bobby Warner/BJ Green, I can't think of his name right now on my way to a bachelorette party so I was all slutted out. It was another mall opening for a Sears. I remember I had on a tight purple shirt and jeans and he had on leather pants. It was like 100 degrees out and he was sweating hard. I had my picture taken with him and he smelled so good.

The last and definetly the best was GH's Wally Kurth. I saw him in concert and he met with fans for a meet and greet after. OMG, he was so nice. He was so charming. He almost did the impossible which was get the pants off my sister as she was a lesbian and she even said he almost converted her. He gives new meaning to the word charming.

One of my internet friends who I don't think posts here and if she does, I am sorry if I am telling your story but I love it so much. She met Kim Zimmer. Says she was wonderfully nice yada yada yada. My friend gets up to the table and says, "You're the Slut of Springfield, I'm the Slut of Madison." Kim howled with laughter. My frien lived in a tiny town outside of Madison WI so I paraphrased it. Sorry friend and if you are here damnit, PM me!

Kim Zimmer would be a hoot to meet.

I've never talked to one but when I went on vacation to LA with my grandma we went for dinner and saw Sarah Buxton (ex-Annie SuBe & ex-Morgan B&B)

My mom has met Scott Reeves, Tom Eplin, Stephen Schnetzer & Linda Dano. All 4 were at the local Bingo Hall doing charity work.

Michael Damian came into the Chili's I worked at not long ago. I was the only one that recognized him and kept singing "Rock On" in the back, hoping somebody would know who I was talking about. We talked eventually about his production company; he was with his father-in-law, who played the Sherriff on Dukes of Hazard, his wife, and his mother-in-law. I told him I was pissed when I went to see "Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" in Chicago, since Donny Osmond was playing Joseph rather than him the night I went.

Oh, and Y&R fans, we brushed on Y&R- I told him not to go back which he agreed. The writing wasn't there for his character, there was no longer anything interesting to play, and if there was, Y&R wasn't going to write it. I almost slipped and mentioned Lauralee which would have been SO embarassing since he was with his new wife & her family. I was embarassed enough that he said he heard me singing "Rock On" in the back.

I went to Fun in the Sun Philly and I met...

Kamar (Antonio-OLTL): he was pretty darn nice and had a legion of fans following him.

Kathy Brier (Marcy-OLTL): Allegedly, she wasn't feeling well so I didn't see much of her.

J.P.L (Rex-OLTL): What you use to see of Rex (pre-Adrianna) is what you get with J.P.L.

Jeff Branson (Jon Boy-AMC): I liked him, this event followed the cave explosion so every one speculated as to where Jon Boy was. He was pretty nice too.

Mfundo Morrison (exJustus-GH): The man is so very FINE, I don't know what kind of lighting GH has...but they don't do him any justice.

Oh and I met the guy who played Jesse, the tweens loved him...but I didn't talk to him or anything.

When I went to the GL Fan weekend in 2004, I met some of the GL stars. I saw a lot more of them than I actually met, lol. My faves were David Macdonald and Beth Ehlers. My friend and I had started up our website and board for DAM earlier that year so meeting him was our "mission" then, lol. He was great and still is! :) Beth Ehlers...lol, I basically looked past RPG who was right next to her cuz I was a fan of BE's since she started. I told her how much I loved her portrayal, thanked her for all the years, and she gave me a big bear hug. Also met LW, JvD, LK, GT...was amazed at just how tiny LK and GT are in person. Then when they had the cabaret thing, LW spent a fair amount of time with a small group of us, talking a lot about what was going on storywise on the show at the time. Sigh...now I don't even watch the show anymore... -_-

I never met a "soap star", but I did see the actress that played AMC's tabloid reporter Elise Flynn at the Trumbull Shopping park. My parents and I were at Ruby Tuesday and she was waiting for a table when we arrived.

I'm not a star struck kind of person, so it wasn't that big of a deal for me (I never quite understood how seeing someone on television made them any more "special"). But you could tell she was kinda hoping someone would recognize her.

Oh well. I was there to get cheese fries.

I have pics from all the events. :D

Oooo and I went to Susan Lucci's Hollywood Star on the Walk of Fame prestation. But it poured, so I didn't get to meet anyone there. :( I have great pics though.

True story, I met and I do mean met, got to attend a Q&A meet and greet with all of stars at Fun in the Sun. I didn't win anything. And I didn't do anything to get that. The most amazing twist for fate happneed that day. The people, 8 of them, who won the chance to be at the pre-event, (I think the raido station that had the contest was KISS, but I'm not sure) Q&A for whatever reason, failed to show up, all 8 of them. So the Dinsey people took the first 8 people in line, to attend into the FITS event, and let us be the ones to attend the Q&A. My friends and I were, 6, 7, 8. :o

It was great. I got to talk to each star there one on one, ask them questions, take pics with all of them, and hug them all. (Ric Hearst is just OMG...so is John Paul.lol) I don't know what gods were in my corner that day, but someone was definitely in my corner and wanting me to meet all of them that day. :D

My life will be comeplete, LMAO, if I can meet Susan Lucci one day. :) (I was so close, f'ing rain)

Thorsten Kaye is pretty much the only soap star I have ever been driven to meet and let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed. He was absolutely the nicest guy ever! He actually talked to me for a while and I just felt like I was the only person in the room. He even more gorgeous in person and I can't stop gushing over him.

I saw Michael Saucedo (ex-Juan GH) at a Sears here in town once and I got his autograph but that was on accident.

Outside of daytime, I've met pretty much all of the Buffy cast a few times. Oh wait, I guess Bailey Chase (a Buffy guy) was also on As The World Turns for a while. I think his character's name was Chris Hughes? Something like that. I have talked to him quite a bit and we've emailed a few times.

I met Finola Hughes and Eva LaRue at a work party earlier this summer. They were both really nice, and Eva looks SO young in person. Like, I would've thought she was 25 if I didn't know better.
