I'm back at my hotel worn out. Yes very disorganized but I managed to see three groups of actors, all of whom were absolutely lovely. I especially found Elia Cantu (Jada), Sal Stowers (Lani) and Tina Huang (Melinda) to be wonderful, but they all were.
The morning was better as we smoothly went through two tables. Afternoon was a mess, waited almost 3 hours for a specific group only for handlers to try to push us into a group we had already met. Meanwhile many people hadn't even done one table. I had bonded in line with 3 girls and somehow talked our way into the group we wanted. I never used to be so aggressive, but I really wanted to tell Stephen Nichols (Steve) and Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie) how much they meant to me. And I got to shake hands with Dan Feuerriegel (EJ). All in all a good day. Susan was very moving at the end, and I'm excited by the preview. The return of Gwen not so much.
The newer actors had less attention and their line was shorter. Al Calderon (Javi) was lovely and so happy to be there. Also really had a nice moment with Colton Little (Andrew). I did not even attempt the Deidre Hall (Marlena) line. Some people waited in it all day without success.
And I got to meet Paul Telfer (Xander), Linsey Godfrey (Sarah) and Cardboard Li! So that was my goals achieved.
