I continued to include every John scene and every Natalie scene through April 3, 2007 when they break up. From that point on, I included a few scenes as they told others about the break up and then scenes that they are in together. For the next year, they are in a few scenes together and I continued to edit to their scenes together. John spins off in a storyline with Marty into Dec when she dies, I did not include his separate storyline or scenes for the rest of 2007-2008. Nor did I include the Natalie & Jared storyline. I did include her finding out Jared is a Buchanan and sleeping with John that night, he was reeling from Marty's death. There are a couple of spots that I included additional scenes, but mostly from April, 2007 - April, 2008 it is pretty much only John & Natalie scenes together and not their entire separate storylines. Click here to read the full edit description.

John & Natalie #18 June 3, 2008 - March 9, 2010: 12 hours on 3 dvds
I decided to add a bonus Prequel dvd to kick off the #18 so I could add in some additional background scenes to set up the stalker storyline. This bonus dvd will be in addition to the 8 hour edit, so this edit will be on three dvds and about 12 hours total. This is a very well written storyline, and one of the reasons I included some additional scenes to tell this story. PREQUEL DVD: This complimentary prequel dvd includes Dorian’s reveal at the June 2008 press conference that Jared is not a Buchanan, this is followed by Jared and Nash fighting and Nash falling through a sky light to his death. I included all of the press conference and aftermath, Nash falling, the hospital scenes through his death all covered in June 2008. This sets up for the later stalker storyline. In 2009, there are a few stalker incidents before John gets involved that I also included to set up the storyline. Jessica is stalked at the Buchanan Lodge and is taunted with a shadowy figure resembling her dead hubby. Then little Bree is given an elephant by a man on their patio and tells her mommy that Daddy gave it to her. Natalie and Jared receive a dvd showing Nash falling and his death. We see a shadowy figure watching as the story begins to unfold.

Also on the prequel dvd, John gets involved investigating, he finds clues linking Jared to the stalker, who is soon found dead on the Buchanan patio, followed by Natalie stumbling upon Pamela’s dead body when she follows Jared, Natalie is sure Jared is being framed, as Jessica continues to receive phone calls from her dead husband. I began adding all of John's scenes and all of Natalie's scenes from Sept 24, 2009. He is with Marty at the time, though they don't have a lot of scenes together over the next 5 1/2 months as she becomes more and more aware of his continued (or reawakened) feelings for Natalie. Includes her last month of storyline with Jared as well, and he is directly involved in the stalker storyline and they lead the viewers to believe he is responsible initially.

Jessica receives a phone call from “Nash” asking her to come to Napa, and Jessica & Natalie walk right into the real stalker’s trap. I included John & Brody rushing to the rescue, though Jared is shot by the stalker and dies, his funeral and aftermath of his death as Natalie grieves for her hubby. Natalie winds up stabbing the stalker and John covers for her saying that he tried to commit suicide. When Dorian turns in the murder weapon (the stalker is blackmailing her to help him), several people confess to stabbing the stalker and all charges against John are dropped. Jessica is kidnapped by the stalker after he is released from jail, and performs electric shock on her wiping out the last 10 years of her memory.

Natalie drives the getaway car when John escapes from a false arrest by the stalker’s stooge of a new Police Commissioner. Best part of the edit is when John & Natalie’s car goes off a cliff and they are stranded in a cabin on Latano Mountain. He admits that he will always have feelings for her, and kisses her, as we are treated to a nice long series of flashbacks. Of course Marty walks in to rescue them just as they are kissing. Later, John is dreaming of making love to Marty as we see she has taken a positive pregnancy test. Edit ends as John shows up at the door to Llanfair to see Natalie. The next edit will pick up with his arrival and their scenes together. Click here to read the full edit description.

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 appluading 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 tape with some footage I also included on the GH Luncheon tape 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.
