Maurice/Sarah/Tamara Interviews #4, Maurice/Tamara/Jennifer/Kari/Laura #5, Laura Wright Interviews, Tamara Braun Guest Appearences, Tamara Braun interviews, and Events


The Maurice interviews in particular are rare.  Most of the clips/interviews are from original tapes or second generation (copy of an original). The stuff from 1996-97 is usually good quality. Some of the older stuff from 93 on #1 is grainy, like the Pure Soap clips but great content!  The newer items in the last few years are usually original dvd clips and the best quality, my originals began in 1996 so the best quality of clips when I began saving items is usually from 1996 through current time, so quality before that really varies. Most of these clips were done on older vhs tapes that I transfered to dvd so quality is so-so on some of this.

SSW #1  Orlando 2001 - GH & PC Actors - 2 hrs 31 minutes
Talk Show - Linda Dano hosts. Guests Maurice, Tamara, Coltin, Marisa, Jackie  (each introduction is proceeded by clips of the actors on GH). This is from the 9:00 Sunday am show. But I thought this would be a good way to start off the tape as this event was a lot of fun and a big crowd pleaser. Linda starts off by saying how grateful they are that we got in our cars, planes, trains to be there. That they think of us as family as we are! Maurice is announced and the crowd goes wild. Someone screams out, "We Love you!", he responds, "I Love You too!". Linda confesses that he is her favorite actor. Linda brings him down to the edge of the stage so I got truly gorgeous shots of him on video. Tamra talked about how that little boy quality about Maurice gets all women and how he is a geniune person. Maurice said that when he first came on with Sonny being a bad guy he knew he had to bring some suffering, soulfulness to the role so he could stay on the show. (side note I recently read an article stating that Tony Geary came up with the idea of Bill Eckert being the  owner of a sleazy night club in 1993 - TPTB liked the idea and created the role of Sonny). Linda invites a couple of fans to touch Maurices arms, and his stomach, the crowd goes nuts. Jackie is brought out, Linda congratulates her on celebrating her 25th year. Linda asks Bobbie to demonstrate some moves from her exercise video, "Walk Away the Pounds". Then LInda introduces Coltin and Marisa. Coltin teases her that she had told him backstage that he was her favorite. After Linda interviews each actor, she then brings them down to the edge of the stage and they are each asked a question by the audience. Then the actors go back stage and one lucky fan is selected from the audience to do a scene with one of the actors. Its an older woman named Freddy. She does a scene with Coltin and is ALL over him, it is hysterically funny as she changes the lines, and Coltin is laughing and cracking up! At the end, clips of the following weeks shows for GH are shown.
Celebrity Motorcade/Q&A with Walt Wiley - Maurice, Tamara, Coltin, Marisa, Jackie Sat afternoon. There is a lot of good natured teasing between the actors. They all seemed pretty happy which was nice to see, moral seemed good. Walt asked each of them questions, then they were asked questions submitted by the fans (This event was about 26 minutes, total tape to this point is 1 hr 13 minutes).
Talk Show - this was the 3:45 show on Saturday, hosted by Linda Dano. Guests: Wally, Ingo, John Ingle, Brian Presley (Jack, PC) and Kelly Monaco (Livie, PC)  (each introduction is proceeded by clips of the actors on GH). Ingo is the first out, Linda sits on his lap and flirts. Next out is Wally, then John Ingle. They are so funny! Wally & Ingo are pretty funny together. Wally is celebrating 10 years on GH and talks about how much of himself he brings to the role of Ned. Linda begs Ingo to admit that he is just like Jax, as that is what she and the fans want to hear. John Ingle's clips is of him singing at the Nurse's Ball. Linda asks Wally to sing a sample for the audience. He picks a girl out of the audience and sings to her. He puts his arm around her shoulder, and kisses her on the neck! Next Kelly & Brian come out, he carries her onto the stage, lays her down and kisses her!  After Linda's interview, the actors come down and are seated at the edge of the stage and take questions from the audience. In a cute moment, Erin Hershey asks a question from the audience - commenting on what a great voice he has and if he will be singing during SSW. He says no and so she asks him to sing for the audience. He comes down and picks another lucky lady out of the audience and sings a country song, he too has a great voice! He does a little two step dance with her as he holds her in his arms and sings. Then a fan asks John and Wally to sing the Thanksgiving song that the Q's always sing. After the Q&A, a fan is selected to act out a scene with Brian. He is so funny as he takes the woman in his arms, and holds her, gently brushing her hair off of her face. She has a hard time getting her lines out, and as she stumbes, he leans down and kisses her neck, then nuzzles her on the other side. She is pretty gone by this time! At the end, clips of the following weeks shows for both PC and GH are shown.
Celebrity Motorcade/Q&A - Sunday -Walt Wiley hosts. Ingo, Wally, John Ingle, Kelly, Brian. Show begins with a parade as the actors arrive in cars with Disney characters. Funny moment when Wally teases Ingo that he didn't know that GH takes place in Port Charles. Ingo says something sarcastic about vampires on PC, Walt zings back about the whole Stavros being frozen and defrosted! Good comeback!
Autograph Sessions - Short clips of Coltin, Jackie, Tamra, Wally, John Ingle singing autographs for fans

GH Luncheon #12 - August, 2003 - 2 hrs 5 mins
     As always I started off the tape with shots of the exterior of the hotel, and also added some street shots, and some of the nearby restaurants. I included the soap boutique so you guys could see the items available there. I was able to get a really nice interview with Natalia at Chad's event. Pat Griffin was very kind, I volunteered to tape the event as a benefit for Cystic Fibrosis and she arranged a little pre-event interivew with Natalia and Chad that I could add to the GH Luncheon tape...so these two are about 10 minutes.
     I was again asked to do some coverage in the press room (bless you Debbie Morris for giving me this opportunity). Again, I'm NOT a professional videographer just a goober fan with a video camera. In the press room I interview Scott (Dillon), this is a nice 5 minute interivew (most of the rest are shorter). Then Dylan (Michael), Lindsay (Georgie), Scott Egan (Johnny), Loreli (Penny, not sure if I'm spelling her name correctly - sorry!), Greg Vaughn, Robyn Richards, Stuart & leslie, Nancy Lee, Ted King. Several of the actors are signing autographs. Tamara is signing a bat (not sure if its her bats or Jason's!). There are also photo opportunities for the photographers with Tamara, Ted, Nancy Lee, Steve, Alicia,
     Then its on to the main event and the actors are introduced and enter the ballroom amid HUGE screams from the fans. The actors are introduced in the following order: John Ingle (who then does the introductions), Denise Alexander, Maurice Benard, Penny (?), Chad Brannon, Tamara Braun, Steve Burton, Christine (Leticia), Dylan Cash, Leslie Charleson, Robin Christopher, Tyler Christopher, Scott (Dillon), Stuart Damon, Scott Eagan, Blake Gibbons, Rick Hearst, Ted King, Wally Kurth, Lindsay Leatherman, Natalia Livingston, J. Robyn Miller, Andrea Pearson, Cynthia Preston, Robyn Richards, Greg Vaughn, Alicia Willis, John J. York, and Jackie Zeman.
                         Next is the awards as voted on by the fans:
                              Best Supporting Actor - Steve Burton
                              Best Supporting Actress - Robin Christopher
                         Best Couple - Sonny & Carly
                              Favorite Villaness - Cynthia Preston
                              Favorite Villan - Rick Hearst
                              Scene Stealer - John Ingle
                              Favorite Actress - Nancy Lee Grahn
                              Favorite Actor - Maurice Benard
                              Favorite Storyline - Alexis' Personality Disorder
                              Best Offline Fan Club - Becky Herbst's
                              Best Web Site - Cynthia Preston's
Then in a truly surprising, thrilling, shocking moment which Debbie Morris kept tightly under wraps...she goes up to the podium and says something about the PCPD needing some help catching criminals so they called in the WSB and in stroll in Tristan Rogers and John Reilly dressed in black (they joked its Men In Black 3). They received a standing ovation and thunderous applause and were obviously touched with the receptionand that fans remembered and still loved them all these years later. It was the HIT of the weekend! They spoke for a few minutes, I could have listened to them for hours! Wouldn't it be fun if they did an individual event!
     Everyone posed on stage for a cast photo, then I have shots of poses with Tristan & John Reily together, and with Maurice, and I think Steve was also in the group. I didn't take pictures, just video of them posing for pictures.  I also have interviews during the luncheon with Wally, John J. York, Robin Chrisopher (with her award, both her and Nancy said this was better than the Emmy), Denise Alexander, Cynthia Preston and George (her web master) with their respective awards. I also interview Cari Shayne in the press  room of the PC dinner and will add that to this tape as well as it was nice to see her. I have shots of several of the actors with fans like Maurice, Nancy, Tamara, Scott Egan, Alicia, Chad, Greg, Steve, Rick, Ted, Natalia, Stuart & Leslie, Andrea, and others.

GH Luncheon 2004 - 1 1/2 hours
This event starts off with some Friday morning poolside shots with fans and their soap boutique purchases. Interview with Vicky of Journey Online. The edit continues with Saturday morning footage before the luncheon with shots of fans as they are lined up waiting to check in, I love all of the fans creative shirts and buttons. Then I showed all of the goodies on the various fan club tables, tons of pictures, and raffle items shown from the main GH fan club tables, Kurth & Taylor's new preview CD, Vanessa's table, Tyler's, interview with his fan club president Shari Evans, Lisa of JJY Online and his table, Sheri McCutheon who does Stephen Nichol's official site and his table, Leslie's Charleson's table and an interview about their online action (:24 mins to this time). TNext is the press room footage, the actors arrive in the press room, pose for pictures, interview with various magazines, web sites, before being brought out to the ballroom. I interviewed Tiffany an intern at GH, interview with the Eye On Soaps web site ladies (what a great group!), shots of various actors posing for pictures: Alicia & ron Hale, Ted King,  John York & Lindze & Robyn (cute moment when one of the twins who plays Kristina runs up to John and holds out her arms for him to pick her up, shots of all the teens together (Lindze, Adrieene, Ryan, Katie, Robyn), cute moment as Tamara arrives with Starbucks for Alicia who gives her a big thank you hug! Shots of Tamara & Dylan posing, Steve & Dylan, Steve & Maurice hug and pose, Mufando joins them, thenh Maurice & Dylan, Leslie & Ted & Cyndi, Maurice & Steve & Jill Pharen Felps, Wally & Adriene, Greg & Mufando, Leslie Kay & Wally. Press Room Interviews with: Alicia Willis, Lindze Leatherman & Adrienne Leon, Robyn Richards, Dylan Cash, Greg Vaughn, Ryan (Lucas), Cyndi Preston, Katie Stuart, Leslie Charleson (press room coverage is 24 mins, 48 minutes to this point).
     Next Greg & Cyndi introduced the actors: Jed Allen,  Maurice, Steve, Tamara, Ryan, Leslie, Dirk Cheatwood (Max, Sonny's bodyguard), Tyler, Blake, Ron, Rick, Becky, Leslie Kay, Ted, Wally, Adrienne, Lindze, Natalia, Mufando, Robyn, Katie, Catherine Watkins (Mary), Bergen (Big Alice), Alicia, John York. (Note: I used a smaller second camera to get the arrivals so I could leave the main camera stationery, good thing as the tape jammed in the main camera so I had the second camera handy to get Leslie's tribute to Anna Lee so this first section is a bit jumpy as I was changing tapes in the main camera, you will notice when it switches back to the main camera amazing the difference a tripod makes!). This year's event was dedicated to Anna Lee's memory. Leslie read the plaque: In Loving Memory of our dear Anna Lee
Anna Lee, who brought charm, grace and dignity to everything she touched,will be deeply missed by her friends, her family and her fans.  She was a joy and a delight, finding humor in the smallest of things, and finding strength
where many of us would have simply given up.
Her beauty was matched only by her wit and her caring for those she loved.
Those who had the privilege of knowing Anna  and having her touch
their lives were all the richer for it.
Godspeed, Sweet Anna Lee!  We love you!

     First I have some interviews with fan club staff:  Betty and Cathy, web masters for Maurice's official web site (addy listed below),  Jeanna Davis (M'fundo's new fan club president), Debby O'Connor (Blake, Greg, Rick, Cynthia, and Ted's), Lisa (JJY Online), Ginny (Becky's), Kurth & Taylor (Tim), Kelly's, Alicia's (her mom), followed by shots of additional fan club tables and shots of the fans as they line up for the main event.
     The press room coverage begins at :28.  Soapnet solicited fan questions and interviewed the actors in the press room. I have shots of Kat (from "Chat with Kat" fame) and her camera woman, Lavonia. I have interviews with the fans who won the press room pass, Constance, Alicia, Paulo (an aspiring actor who appeared on Oprah's Wildest Dreams and won role on GH), MaryAnn (a fan from the year before who won a guest appearence on GH), Lindze, Rick, Adrianne, Katia, Jennifer, and Kelly. Also included are shots of the actors posing for photographs with the photographers and some of the behind the scenes footage before the actors come out to the luncheon.
     The luncheon begins at :50 with John J. York as the MC, and he introduces all of the actors: Jennifer Bransford, Dylan Cash, Leslie Charleson, Tyler Christopher, Corbin Bernsen, Scott Clifton, Stuart Damon, Sandy Ferguson, Blake Gibbons, Nancy Lee Grahn, Ron, Rick Hearst, Becky Herbst, Ted King, Adrianne Leon, Lindze Leatherman, Natalia Livingstone, Kelly Monaco, Cynthia Preston, Ignacio, Sarah and Emma Smith, Kirsten Storms, Constance Towers, Greg Vaughn, Katia, Alicia Lee Willis, Kari Wuhrer, Jackie Zeman, Larry Poindexter, Paulo, Steve Burton, and Maurice Benard.
     John then goes out to the audience and asks for fan questions for the actors. Jennifer is asked about playing Carly, Corbin about staying on GH, another fan asks who is the biggest practical joker and Dylan grabs the mic and says it is "Steve and Mo". Another fan asks who are the biggests gossips and someone laughs and says "hair and makeup". Leslie is asked about who Monica's next conquest will be and fans suggest  "Corbin" (he appears to love the idea), and "Coleman" (this brings about great laughter at the thought). Cynthia is asked abou the possibility of Faith rising from the dead, who has the messiest dressing room (Steve), Maurice is asked about balancing the heavy load he carries at GH, Kelly is asked about balancing doing "Dancing with the Stars" and GH. Then the following awards are presented:

Then Maurice pays tributed to Carol Scott, a GH producer who has passed away from cancer. The autograph session begins at 1:28. I have some additional interviews with Mikhail (the winner of "I Wanna Be a Soap Star" season one), Greg Vaughn (and he ribs Mikhail about a really hot poster he has brought), Larry, and John York. Really cute moment as I interview an adorable little girl "Bianca" who is wearing a t-shirt with a picture of her and Steve together from SSW and she tells about meeting him. I happened to be taping Maurice's table as she goes up to him, and he kisses her on the cheek not once but twice!
6/05 Fun in the Sun Anaheim (included on the GH Luncheon edit) - :50 mins - attended by Scott Clifton, Jennifer Bransford, Kirsten Storms, Rick Hearst, Alicia Lee Willis, Michael (AMC). This is not the traditional Q&A but contests and autograph sessions  where fans have the opportunity to interact with fans. Alicia and Jennifer participate in a cup stacking contest, each actor is teamed with a fan. This is followed by a wagon racing contest between Scott and Michael B., then Rick and Alicia and Scott signing autographs. The best event was a Match Game where actors are asked questions and their fan partner later comes out and tries to match their answer to what the actor said in a newlywed game format. A sample of questions are: Which character are you most like between Donald, Goofy and Mickey? Of your co'stars on stage who is most suited for Dance Party U.S. A? What is a perfect date between dinner & movie, sunset stroll, or hot dog & concert. Next is a fan singing competition judged by Kirsten, Jennifer and Michael (missed first contestant).

Fans give the actors a standing ovation, which is returned as the actors also give the fans a standing ovation in return. The autograph session begins, Finola Hughes arrives during this portion. She stands up on a table and waves to fans (not on the video). I have several minutes of the actors meeting with fans, autographing items and taking pictures with fans. During the autograph session I have shots of Tristan, Jason, Ted, Jason, Greg, Adrian, Kim, Maurice, Steve, Natalia, John Ingle, John J., Bergen, Tyler, Jackie, Connie, Kent, Laura (very classy lady she brought a huge stack of 8x10 pictures that she gave away to fans!), Dirk & Drew, Becky, Sonya, Finola, Scott, and Julie. Short clip of Rick with his fan club award and he acknowledges his fan club president, Debby O'Connor. Short interview welcoming Sonya and asking her how the role of epiphany took off. Cute shot of Tristan and Finola together (no interviews as they arrived after the press room and their lines were HUGE!).

As for any other events, I will email out information on any other event videos that I hear of to my GH Event new edit email notification group through yahoo. This group usually only receives a couple of emails a year with information on the GH Fan weekend and SSW (if I'm able to attend). I recommend checking the official web sites and emailing the web masters for information on any other official fan club videos. For instance, Tyler's fan club president - Sheri usually offers a video of his event. Becky's fan club usually offers a video of her event. There was a video cam at Wally's Bingo event but I don't know if they will offer a video of that event or not. Check with Wally's official site and the Kurth & Taylor Foundation. There is no video taping allowed (that I know of) for Rick Hearst, Greg, Steve's. I don't know of anyone who recorded or who had permission to offer Maurice or Nancy Lee's. I don't record or offer any individual actor events unless I have permission of the event organizer. I was not able to attend Nancy Lee's event this year so I'm not able to offer that one this year.
