We're holding up the wall on one side of the room like all good escorts do and taking in all the action. Every actor present was greeted with loud applause, I'm happy to report. The fan awards are presented and while you all probably already know the winners, here they are again: Best Actor and Actress went to Tyler Christopher (Nikolas) and Laura Wright. Supporting Actor and Actress was Greg Vaughan and a still-MIA Becky Herbst (Elizabeth). Dylan Cash (ex-Michael) and Julie Berman were voted Best Younger Actor and Actress. Best Couple was Scrubs (Robin and Patrick) and best character was Spinelli. And once again, Best Official Website was awarded to Sheri for her wonderful Tyler Christopher site. The Q&A begins and an incredibly hilarious Carolyn Hennesy (Diane) is amongst the crowd with a microphone so we can all hear the undoubtedly funny questions that were sure to come. "I'll sign anything you want to expose," Brandon Barash (Johnny) good-naturedly tells one fan. "Marry me, Bradford!" another fan yells and Bradford was like, "It's on!" I confess, I'm drawing a blank on other questions that were asked but soon it was time to get the actors to their tables and let the games begin.

I'm still looking around for Becky Herbst because I'm supposed to be her security escort. Uh, what do I do if the actor I was assigned to doesn't show up? Hold that thought, they tell me, she may still turn up. So I'm standing like a sentry in front of her table until finally some of her fan club people come up and end the suspense. Becky was feeling under the weather and would not be in attendance. So what do I do now? How about Ron Hale (Mike)? Okay, that has the potential to be a whole lot of fun! Oh yes, I...... Ron, where are you going?! Smoke break, smoke break. Take me with you? I did join him a few times but Ron is not one to sit at a table and have the fans come to him. He prefers to mingle in the crowd and meet the fans that way. Some fans even asked me if they should approach him in the "smoking lounge" and I told them heck yes! Ron loves meeting his fans and I loved being his escort - when I could keep tabs on him, that is. I jokingly request a leash, or at least a bell I can tie around his neck. But since our dear Mr. Hale is well-versed in this drill, I take the opportunity to chat up other people. Megan Ward (Kate) is also at Ron's table and is even more beautiful in person. Of course, I exchange business cards with her publicist, Kristi, and hope to snag Ms. Ward for a one on one very soon. I say hello to Claire Coffee again and then I corner Kin Shriner (Scott). It took the event people a few beats to realize that the blonde girl standing next to Kin at his table was Carly Schroeder (ex-Serena), who has grown into a breathtakingly lovely young woman. And of course, no day would be complete without getting a snuggle in with Brandon Barash. Steve Burton (Jason) was a little late and Maurice Bernard (Sonny, who had his own event a short time later) was very late - both were doing a promo. And both lines formed in a big hurry and grew to monstrous proportions in record time. Maurice was whisked away fairly quickly however, and rushed right past me outside on his way to his event. Clearly in his way, I offer my humble apologies: "Oh I'm sorry Mo!" Yes, I called him Mo.

I'm kind of walking around at this point, checking on other people hard at work. Our Lori was assigned to Bruce Weitz and he is happily smiling and chatting away. I'm wondering if the poor man was jonesing for a smoke because his line was non-stop, as was Stephen Macht's line. I check in with Laura Wright's escort Becky, who is also our esteemed photographer, and the call is made: Bring food, we're starving! Boss Lady arrives bearing gifts, which were promptly wolfed down by both Becky and the darling and fun-loving Ms. Wright. Laura and Bruce were two actors who stayed until the bitter end - no wonder Laura was making food requests by this time, lest she start nibbling on her own arm. My own hope for food was fading fast as I was scheduled to attend another event shortly after the main luncheon. Hold on - did I go eat? Oh yes, I ordered a sandwich from the Patio Cafe and scarfed it in short order - then it was on to Sarah Brown's event!

Thank you for a wonderful day. Nobody does it better then Debbie Morris the GH fan club President. And rightly so! Year after year she works her tail off to round up all the actors, blocks room so the fans do not have to travel, and works months and months in advance to make sure everything is prefect, and it always is. I couldn't imagine any one else doing it.
