What do you mean by "have?" I'm getting Jan Spears vibes...

 

Susan Lucci has always been #1, but her Instagram just solidifies that. It's a cliche, but she's just so down-to-earth while still living a lush life. I'd love to have brunch with she and Helmut on their patio.

Besides her, I'd honestly welcome meeting literally any soap star. They have an inside view that none of will ever have, and that would excite me regardless of who it was.

Definitely for me:

Kimberlin Brown
Tracey Bregman
Jess Walton
Tricia Cast 
Josh Morrow (Just to have a LONGGG talk with him on how after 26 years, and 15 years of hamming it up, to just  call it a day already at Y&R......Just kidding....Well....

Beth Maitland (She sincerely seems like the sweetest person ever) 
Susan Flannery (Just so I could really get her POV of how Stephanie had to be portrayed)


Liza Huber
Lindsay Hartley
Juliet Mills 
Andrea Evans (One of the few soap stars that followed me back on twitter, LOL)

Probably a lot more I can't think of.

I've seen several ABC stars somewhat Recently at the Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philly.

Elizabeth Hubbard, Eric Braeden and Jess Walton top my list.

 

Shemar Moore is one of the kindest celebrities I've ever met. Gina Tognoni was also lovely when she made a stop in my city a couple of years ago.

I've met a lot, not gonna lie. Mostly of the DAYS, Y&R, B&B, and GL variety, but some ABC'ers as well. 

 

I always had a goal of meeting all four of my favorite divas - Deidre Hall, Kim Zimmer, Susan Flannery, and Susan Lucci.   I still have yet to meet La Lucci

Not sure about meet but I would like to meet and talk to many of the writers and producers, Pam Long, Curlee, anyone who worked with Marland, people on GL when the abrupt changes in tone happened...as in 85 and when the clone came along.

I’ve met a handful of OLTL stars of the 2000s through a friend here in NYC. He was particularly good friends with Ilene Kristen (lovely lady) and Fiona Hutchison (whom I sadly never met). At one of his parties, I had a long chat with Forbes March(!!!) about the decline of soaps. And my friend introduced me to Claire Labine, for which I’ll always be in his debt.
 

I met Nia Long, Marisa Tomei, and Jane Krakowski doing junket roundtables for the (terrible) Alfie remake. All luminous.

 

I would love to meet Paul Anthony Stewart, Alicia Coppola, Victoria Rowell, Vanessa Marcil, Monti Sharp, Jess Walton, Maureen Garrett, and Melissa Hayden. Basically the people I loved as a young soap viewer. If only I could have met Beverlee McKinsey...

    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.
