2011: Tina Sloan - incredibly lovely lady.

2012: Wendy Moniz and Frank Grillo - they were both lovely and very much in love.

2015: the girls who played Ally and Maya's sister on B&B (adorable and they were both escorted by their mothers)

also- Ronn Moss, he was very handsome and kind with me.

 

Good memories...

Met Mary Kay Adams, Laura Wright, and Kim Zimmer.  All were very nice.  And I went to school with Judson Mills ("Hutch" on ATWT) before he went on Walker Texas Ranger

Way too many people to mention. Lucci, many times, and always kind. Kim Zimmer is great. Beverlee, very nice woman. Charita, incredibly kind. Fiona, not so nice. 
In 1985, Madeleine Sherwood from the Flying Nun did a guest appearance on GL. She was such an unhappy beyatch! Just nasty in person. 

Slezak is nice, Strasser, not so much. Diva.

I work for an airline and met Kelly Monaco. She came into our VIP lounge back when "Dirty Soap" first premiered. She was very kind - and I remember when we shook hands that her hand felt like a doll's hand, she was so tiny. LOL - but the lady with her snorted at the fact that I mentioned "Dirty Soap" and not GH. lol. Even back then I was muting Sam scenes.

 

I would love to meet Rebecca Herbst, Gina Tognoni or Sharon Case.

Tell Lawrence to stop waiting for Bradley Bell to throw him a bone and find contract work on one of the other 3 soaps. Or somewhere more promising in general. He's too fine to be wasted as an occasional lawyer/wedding officiant on B&B

 

K thanks

I've met & interacted with a ton of Y&R and B&B actors, writers, and producers from the 2003-2005 period. 

Eric Braeden, Melody Thomas Scott, Katherine Kelly Lang, Victoria Rowell, Michelle Stafford, Christian Le Blanc, Lauralee Bell, Doug Davidson, Jess Walton, Antonio Sabato, Jr. (swoon!... Well, back in 2005...), Bryton, Don Diamont, Ronn Moss, Ashley Jones, Keith Hamilton Cobb, Jeanne Cooper... Joshua Morrow was a real hunk in person back then. Nice ass, too. Although, we were in the rest room at the same time once and he didn't wash his hands...

They are all nice, professional people. I missed meeting Shemar Moore by ONE DAY, someone on this site met him.  

 

I'd love to meet Susan Lucci, Kelly Ripa, and basically anyone on AMC from 1990-1995. I saw Kate Collins at the opening of a play her husband directed and stared at her with soap fan shock as I told my then-boyfriend, "That's Kate Collins!!! She played Natalie AND Janet!!!"

 

The only person I've met and interacted with who I didn't like is Susan Flannery. No thanks.

 Oh no! Really? Not Mrs. Susan Flannery...I've been watching old seasons of Dallas and she was in several episodes of season 4 (I believe it's 4  anyway). Unfortunate, you didn't have a good experience and I hope it was a bad day and not her actual demeanor at all times.

I'm not one to spill tea, but I interacted with her for a long time. I've never seen an actor override a director, physically move an actor, and say, "No! Stand here!" 

She directed an episode of THE FOSTERS a while ago and I caught myself rolling my eyes when I saw her name.

Brad is a very nice guy. He'll make time to chat with everybody, despite how busy he is with his job (insert your snarky writing jokes here). No ego. The same for his brother, sister, and late-mother. Such nice people who seemed to know the only reason they were there was because of the folks on the stages, in the offices, and at home.

    • 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.
