GH Luncheon #12 - August, 2003 - 2 hrs 5 mins

As always I started off 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 interview with Natalia and Chad that I could add to the GH Luncheon edits...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 interview (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 bat 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 that were 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 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 reception and 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 Christopher (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 edit 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.

In a touching moment, Debbie Morris (the PC Fan club president) presented each actor with a plaque commemorating their time on PC. This drew a thunderous standing ovation from the fans, which was returned by the actors standing up and applauding the fans. Then it was off for the autograph session and I took shots of various fans meeting and taking pictures, getting autographs with the actors: Erin & Brian P., Brian G., Kelly, Miriam, Eddie, Jay, Michael, Kimberlin, Joy, Thorsten, Kiko, Cari & Alex, Anne, Michael. I also included a brief clip of Rebecca with her plaque, interview with Kimberlin, Kent, Anne Jeffries. I missed interviewing Kiko & Jay sadly....Jay wasn't in the press room, and Kiko arrived later into the press room time. I ended the edit with some footage I also included on the GH Luncheon edit of the GH Fan Club soap boutique (they sell some great 8x10s of the PC and GH actors), some footage of the pool/hotel area, and some street shots showing nearby restaurants.

Michael Easton & Thorsten Kaye "Irish Coffee With the Boys," #15 - 1 1/2 hours August, 2003

Includes Q&A, and an auction benefiting the LA Mission. These guys were both so sweet! They both said they had no plans on doing an individual event this year but the outpouring of love and support from the fans they received after the show was cancelled, all of the cards and letters meant a lot to them and this is what lead them to have this event.

This was a wonderful event with a heartfelt tribute to Anna Lee on her 90th birthday by several of her cast members. She was unable to attend due to a hip injury and they had one of the cameramen, Dale, come and edit it just for her and he was wonderful. I had the chance to interview him backstage and he was an absolute sweetheart, I think I had as much fun talking to him as to any actor that weekend! He talked about doing the large cast tapings like the Nurse's Ball, on set antics, his experience working for ABC for 40 years! I also was able to include a backstage interview with Stuart, Leslie & Amber together and they talked about the current breast cancer storyline, Monica's breast cancer storyline, and then did a separate interview with Amber about "Joan of Arcadia". Included is the room setup, raffle tables, Q pictures, fans saying "Happy Birthday" wishes to Anna Lee, the cast is introduced, Amber speaks about her new show before having to leave for a CBS function, then the raffle, the cake is brought out, the cast cuts the cake and sings "Happy Birthday" to Anna Lee. Then several of the cast pay tribute to Anna Lee: Susan Brown, Denise Alexander, John Ingle, Stuart Damon, Wally Kurth, Leslie Charleson. I did get a brief interview with Scott just before the fan autograph session began. I included shots of the actors meeting with fans, autographs and pictures with the fans. Also in attendance were Robyn Christopher and Bergen William though I didn't get a chance to include interviews with them.
