The
PC Fan Club Dinners are now available on combination event dvds.
I have combined the PC 2001 & 2002 Dinners on one dvd, and
then I have combined the final two PC 2003 Events on another
dvd. So all four PC Fan Club Dinners fit on two dvds. I have
also combined the various PC SSW Events onto three dvds and you

PC
Dinner August, 2002 #7 - 2 hrs 3 minutes
I included shots of the Sportsman's Lodge Hotel, the soap boutique, the raffle
items, pictures, interview with Tamika from Soap Center. In the press room, I
interviewed George DeMoss (head of security), Joy (Marisa), Kiko (talks about
his role in Bad Boys 3 coming in summer 2003), Eddie Matos (Ricky), Erin
Hershey, Brian Presley, Brian Gaskill, Jay Pickett, Kelly Monaco. Erin and Brian
P. are so adorable together. They talked about their wedding, travel over the
summer, they moved, did a remote for PC (but wouldn't tell where). I just love
them. Kiko is a nut and there is no one nicer. He announced that he is in Bad
Boys 3 with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. Really all of the PCers are such
nice group of people. They all seemed very happy and were great with the
fans.
No one would
talk about the next book though Kelly said it was great and one of her favorites
and she thinks might be the best one yet (SOD also reported this next one would
be really good so I'm looking forward to it!). Note - she is NOTHING like
Livvie! She says the next book is going to be "pretty amazing" and she
thinks they have outdone themselves. Brian G. is more quiet and reserved, and
very sweet. This was his first event and I don't think he had any idea of the
attention he was in for. He hinted that "fans of the past would be
happy" in regard to Rafe & Ally. I met Eddie (Ricky) and Joy
(KC/Marisa) and there were both very enthusiastic. I talked with Susan Brown and
Peter Hanson and they were very warm and gracious as always. I was relieved to
see Jay Pickett there and he relished the fan's interest in whether Frank would
survive the Avatar. All too soon it was time for the event to start. The actors
were introduced, then the fan awards were announced.
Then it was
onto the main ballroom for the event. The actors are introduced and the
following awards were presented:
Favorite Supporting Actress - Erin Hershey
Favorite Actress - Lynn Herring
Favorite Supporting Actor - Brian Gaskill
Favorite Actor - Brian Presley
Favorite Couple - Rafe & Ally
Favorite Storyline - Miracles Happen - accepted by Jon Lindstrom and Lynn
Herring
Favorite Online Fan Club - Kiko's
Also in
attendance were Susan Brown, Peter, Lynn Herring, Jon Lindstrom, Thorsten Kaye,
Marie Wilson, Carly Schroeder, and Nicholas Pryor.
Nolan North
mceed the Q&A was absolutely hysterical. He came down to the ballroom floor
while the rest of the actors remained on stage. I laughed so hard. Its a good
thing I had a tripod or that would be one shaky video! When Jay was asked what
he wore under his shroud he wowed the crowd with his answer, "a size 10
pair of work boots and a thong!" As Kiko talked about his summer, we could
hardly hear his response as he talked longer, Nolan layed down on the floor
pretending sleep and the audience is cracking up! Susan Brown brought a lei that
she had handmade for the fan who had traveled the furthest. It was Andrea Hofer
from Germany who attends each year. After the Q&A, the actors adjourned to
the autograph tables. Everything seemed to go very smoothly, and Jon and Lynn's
line was huge (just in case anyone was wondering why I didn't get to
interviewing them. They had arrived later in the press room and were
surrounded). Nolan held court and did a running monologue. I could have just
stood there all night and listened to him! I also interviewed Carly,
Nicholas, Marie, and a brief message by Thorsten.
PC
Dinner #14 August, 2003 - 2 hours
This
is a very heartfelt event. I included pre-event shots of the ballroom, fans
lining up, raffle items. Then its off to the press room, interviews there with
Miriam Parish (Reese), Brian Gaskill (he talks about B&B), Kelly Monaco
(doing the switch with Ally & Livvie, and GH), Erin & Brian Presley
("Eddie", the switch), Marie Wilson (Karen) talks about her new
project on location in Florida "Catharsis", Eddie Mattos (on SSW), Joy
Bisco, Tamara, Cari Shayne (Karen on GH) & Alex Mendoza (Joe III). Then its
off to the main ballroom - additional cast members in attendance: Imani Kent
Masters, Anne Jeffries, Rebecca Staab, Michael Dietz, Susan Brown, Michael
Easton, Thorsten Kaye, Jay Pickett and Kimberlin Brown. Each actors takes the
mic and says something about each other, the show, what they will miss. This is
a very touching tribute to each other and the show, with some good natured
ribbing thrown in.
Then the
awards are given out to:
Best Supporting Actor - Brian Presley
Best Supporting Actress - Rebecca Staab
Best Villaness - Kelly Monaco
Best Villan - Michael Easton
Best Actor - Brian Gaskill
Best Actress - Erin Hershey Presley
Scene Stealer - Kiko Ellsworth
Best Couple - Rafe & Allison
Best Storyline - Naked Eyes
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.
Michael
Easton & Thorsten Kaye "Irish Coffee With the Boys" - #15 - 1 1/2 hours
- August, 2003 - Includes
Q&A, and an auction benefitting 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.
