From Kate Mansi ig stories on May 4

"He's been carrying this around
for 30 yrs and today Genie was
the final signature!"

 

Now we have *three* videos of different views from different event participants,
of Cynthia Watros doing the "Drew Carey dance" at this event.
I mean, why not celebrate all the views?

And then the comparison twitter video with her original dance on the Drew Carey show.

I'll put these twitter videos behind spoiler tags,
so as not to slow down the loading of this thread.

The guest of honor at the event was Michelle Strojny who is living with ALS.
Michelle has been fighting for awareness and funding for a cure.

This is Michelle's website:

This May 4, 2024 Daytime Unites event 
raised over $71,000.00 for ALS research!
 

 

Michael Fairmain posts photos from the event

He credits JPI for these photos. 

In my opinion, the C.Conley photos and some of the fan photos, seemed more warm and relaxed, less formal, and better lit?  JMO.

Peter Bergman:
“I said yes to anything Nancy says. I say yes to anything Nancy has. It’s lovely. This is the coolest thing. Everyone’s nerves are usually up for the Emmys when we normally see each other. On a day like today, you could get to really hang with people from other shows [without the stress]. That was fun.”
 

Patrika Darbo:
“When there are certain illnesses, that whatever celebrity I have... I can offer and help bring some money in to find a cure, then I’m all about that. . . . .  I think that we all need to band together for that. I mean, we’ve gone to the moon and now we want to go to Mars, but we can’t cure the common cold for God’s sakes, let alone all these diseases that are debilitating and taking our loved ones away from us.”

Thank you @janea4old for compiling all this. It's fun to scroll though.

You're welcome. 
I found the photos from this to be more fun than the Emmys. 
A *lot* of actors from multiple soaps- and fans --
as humans connecting - without the glitz and the red carpet.
And I didn't see any interviews being conducted.  It was just people helping people and having fun.
And it was for a service. It just felt more *real* to me.

This is what I think the Nurses Ball should be like!
You know, a benefit for AIDS charities.
Remember when it was about Robin and Stone?

I say get rid of the glitzy dresses and tuxes, or at least tone that down a bit.
Certainly get rid of the "Nurses Ball Red Carpet" nonsense and cattiness.

Make it be about the *charity fundraiser* and not glitz and glam.

GH is supposed to be a HOSPITAL show.

I was afraid it was too slow-loading to scroll through.  I was inserting three tweets into each post, and then waiting a while to start the next post. 
I thought that would be more readable,
but it was taking forever to load, and almost not worth it.

Then I replaced a lot of the tweets and ig posts with credited images, to make it load a little quicker.

But I'm still wondering if it's too much, or if there's some way to make it more readable/scrollable?   Any suggestions would be welcomed.

@Errol  @Toups  or anyone reading.
