I went!

Tyler Christopher finally showed up and boy were fans happy.

Brandon Barash and Darnell Williams had the biggest crowds. Barash was super popular.

Greg Vaughan was a popular returnee to the weekend.

Most everyone had good crowds around them. No one really any less popular than the other, although the "major" stars had larger crowds (Bradford Anderson, Vaughan, Kelly Monaco, Thorsten Kaye, Alicia Minshew, Cameron Mathison). Greg and Kelly got major crowd response.

I watched all of the motorcades on Saturday and am uploading videos to YouTube! I saw most of the conversations at the hat. The dynamics between all the stars are great. During a GH talk, Tyler Christopher was talking about having to learn to milk a cow for an upcoming scene and Kelly Monaco randomly spitted out that he could milk her if she wasn't his cousin! Fans really love Spinelli and Maxie together.

Susan Haskell, Kassie DePaiva and Michael Easton had a great rapport between them. It was sweet to see how much Brittany Underwood and Jason Tam were enjoying the weekend. Kristen Alderson had been telling them about it forever and it's clear she too loves the weekend.

Farah Fath had a shocking new haircut but it looks better than the pictures make it seem. She looked rail thin, much smaller and skinnier than I expected. Farah was very happy to be on OLTL and doesn't miss DAYS. Farah seemed kind of bitchy the first day but I think she was just ovewhelmed. On Sunday, she was much more personal and seemed the be enjoying it more. Same for Jason Cook. He looked overwhelmed at first and he also dissed DAYS when asked about it. He's glad he's on a more "real" soap and in all honesty, I love DAYS but I can't blame him for it.

The Street Jam was great. Bob Guiney sang three songs. Ricky Paull Goldin sang. Brandon Barash sang. Bradford Anderson sang twice, one song was "Mellow Yellow" and it was fantastic. During a break in the lyrics, he just randomly started frolicing on stage to the music. Kassie DePaiva and Bobbie Eakes sang together. Kassie sang a song on her own and then sang a touching duet with Kristen Alderson, who sang a song from her very first SSW when she was 12. Brittany Underwood sang and then had a duet with Jason Tam, who then sang his own song "Walking in Memphis" and it was GOOD. Brittany, Jason and Kristen sang together the song "Lean on Me". Bobbie Eakes sang "Mercy" in a sixties go-go outfit with great backup dancers. She also sang with Melissa Claire Egan and they did a high tempo 20s type swing. Hard to describe. Hope people put videos up because I was just too tired to videotape it all. Susan Lucci danced the Paso Doble with Tony Dovolani and it ended with Bob Guiney singing "Time of Your Life" as they had a montage of the past 13 years. Susan even started choking up about it ending. Kassie DePaiva encouraged fans to try and save the weekend. NONE of the stars wanted this weekend to be cancelled.

I got pictures of everyone. I'll post them in a bit.

Oh, on Sunday I was able to stand at the barricades and get quick autographs from Bobbie Eakes, Julie Marie Berman, Kristen Alderson, Cameron Mathison, Jason Tam and Greg Vaughan. Despite the crowd, Vaughan was the best about trying to see EVERYONE and sign everything. THe others did try but I felt Vaughan and even Cameron were the best about it.

Why not move the event to Disneyland in Aneheim. I know they had one in the past but it was canceled due to low attendance. I think that was a result of there being 2 Super Soaps, and not that it was in Aneheim. The old soap tours were always really well attended.

This would reduce costs as: A) flying stars NY-LA is def cheaper than NY-FL B) For the GH'ers all you'll need is a limo picking them up at studio on Friday after work C) You have the whole ABCD staff on call to help with the event as they are based in LA. They can prbly get more things done, faster, and cheaper. Turnaround for plan implementation with greatly reduce.

I agree, there has been a lot of negative backlash from the SSW cancellation. I didn't think it was loosing money as the park is filled to the brim on these days.

No one was happy about it being the last SSW. The parks were packed, more than before. Disney cannot be happy about this at all. It brings in a LOT of money and attendance. Think of the rooms they fill, tickets they sell, merchandise they sell, food they sell ... it adds up, and I'm sure it adds up to a LOT.

There was hope about it not being the last, even Kassie refused to say it's really the last and kept saying they're just going away for a while, which is what we all hope.

No one knows for sure.

I have a feeling it will return. I really don't know why but I have a lot of hope.

And no, Eden Riegel did not perform. Only those who I listed performed.

Events like SSW cost a lot more money than people think. Travel, security, event planning, staging, staffing, etc... and it's not like they close the park for SSW only. (Do they? I've never been.) So those crowds may be big but all those people are paying money to the park, not ABC.

And thanks for the pics KMan101. Very nice!

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
