August 7, 201114 yr Member The worst part is when you accidentally call an actor by their character name, even when you know their name and tell yourself you will not use their character name.
August 7, 201114 yr Member See, I personally don't think that's TOO bad. Especially for people who don't really concern themselves with the BTS workings of the show, I can see how the character name comes to you first before you can say the actor name. But then I've heard stories of people (not soap fans) refusing to acknowledge that the characters are fiction and the actors are real. And let's not even get started on the Nuke fans who were pissed because Van and Jake didn't make out on some red carpet one year.
August 7, 201114 yr Member JR Martinez absolutely deserved the standing ovation he got. He as funny, charming, and really down to earth. It was so nice to see him so much intrenched in the AMC cast family. That is so nice to hear. It's cool how he's here for the end and no one even remembers Beth Ehlers was on the show. It's definitely a case of things working out for the best.
August 7, 201114 yr Member I'm just uncomfortable being in a fannish atmosphere where people are screaming and laughing way too hard at the stars' unfunny jokes. The closest I have ever come to that is when I went to the Emmys, a highlight being the late Frank Attardi snapping at a small group of women to stop grabbing all over his wife. I really enjoyed the panel discussions for the Worlds Without End exhibit at the Paley Center (when it was still The Museum of Television and Radio). Those were obviously less frenzied and more educational.
August 7, 201114 yr Member Vee, that's interesting because with the exception of Colin Egglesfield, I have only ever bumped into OLTL actors in the city as well. The girl who played Roseanne Delgado (forgetting her name at the moment), James DePaiva, and two or three times I saw Sherri Saum, KDLR's wife, at the same spot around French Roast on the UWS. My parents ran into Ellen Holly in Westchester, and that is one of my biggest, "Why wasn't I there!?" moments of life. marceline, I have a nice Patrick Stewart story but it isn't mine to tell. Basically, an actor friend was stressing over a big audition and in her own world when she knocked into PS on a NY sidewalk. She apologized profusely, explained her situation, and he sat down with her at a cafe and helped her with her monologue.
August 7, 201114 yr Member I've been to Star Trek conventions and these AMC luncheons... they are totally on par with each other. LOL Both in good and bad ways. TC Warner was very warm and friendly on Friday night, but she hasn't aged well let's just say.
August 7, 201114 yr Member TC Warner? Did she play...Kelsey? God, that was a long time ago. I hardly remember that. I was young though, so my memories of those years are fuzzy. I did find the Holiday's Explosion the other day on one of my DVD's...brought back some awesome memories.
August 7, 201114 yr Member TC Warner was very warm and friendly on Friday night, but she hasn't aged well let's just say. Yes...Lets just say she would be more believable playing Scott Chandler's mother now and not his love interest. What exactly is this TC Warner incident? What happened there? I'm sensing a stench of desperation about the woman but I don't know the details. Not an incident per se but just that she seemed to surround herself with people who were trying to sell something, whether it be her or something else. Definitely a stench of desperation. Who were the past cast members that some didn't know? If someone like Rudy the WRCW intern showed up then I hope he got a good reception... One of the latin brothers Kendall or Greenlee had a thing with. i have no idea which one it was but he showed up and I think maybe one person clapped. I'd love to meet JY. I would probably faint if I did meet JY. Speaking of following people to the restrooms and bothering them. Right before Jacob's event, I had to go to the bathroom, as I was passing the men's restroom, someone slams open the door and smacks me in the face with it...it was Jacob! Best smack in the face I've ever gotten and he couldn't have been more gracious or apologetic. CBL and SG had a tons of hoots and hollering coming from their lines. I didn't see anything, but I'm pretty sure they were playing to the fans. LOL They had great chemistry in person as well. I doubt they were playing to the fans. I saw them at several events and they acted normal and sweet instead of pandering to the lesbian fanbase like some do. cough*CrystalChappell*cough. I asked CBL and SG about the first Minx kiss and asked them if ABC had censored it because it was quite tame and they told me that ABC did absolutely not censor anything and that the "tameness" of the kiss was due to both actresses being straight and that it sort of made sense given the scenario. The absolute nicest people I met were JR Martinez, Sarah Glendening and Jacob Young. Just genuine, nice people! Edited August 7, 201114 yr by Marley
August 7, 201114 yr Member One of the latin brothers Kendall or Greenlee had a thing with. i have no idea which one it was but he showed up and I think maybe one person clapped. And that wasn't even a decade ago. I kind of feel sorry for him. Dan Kenicott would have gotten a bigger reaction.
August 8, 201114 yr Member Carlos and Juan Pablo were epic flops, I'm surprised they even invited whoever it was to come. No shade being thrown at him (whichever one he was), mind you, but...jeez. Where was Ethel from the Glamorama?

Where was Ethel from the Glamorama? I liked Carlos when they paired him with Simone. Of course they kill him off just when he gets interesting. I also really liked Juan Pablo with Greenlee. He was so hot and loved his accent.
August 8, 201114 yr Member Mar, I still laugh how Jacob hit you w/ the door. But screw you skanko for stealing hugs w/ my baby. Jordi was a tool from what I heard. Saying that stupid Sears story when Susan mother f'n Lucci is in the f*cking house? And still say bullsh!t to Sarah being a Jannie fan.

August 8, 201114 yr Member What was this Sears story? I guess the thing about being chased by cheerleaders someone mentioned above.
