Charles: Depends on his mood.
Snowrun506: LOL... ;)
SnowDrift7: ROFL!
FORMALI: LOL!!!! But that's men, anyway.
Byndclulys: LOL

Nicolettah: We all feel that way most of the time Charles
Steelhawk1: Yes and my mentor Edie!
Becca309: Charles!!!! Welcome to our chat!!!!! Your scenes today with Vick were excellent!
Charles: Thanks, Becca.
JAZKRZ: Charles, You did such a wonderful job with Redemption that I forgot it was beening done by one person. Was it hard to keep all the accents straight?
FORMALI: .....say what....??
Charles: Redemption was fun to do and completed in two days.
Charles: Somewhat, yes.
Gaileliza: Didn't you do Deceivers back in 1991? Another audio bk?
FORMALI: Please forgive me for not knowing, but what was "Redemption"? I'm still waiting to hear those Snapple commercials!
Lorin25: I've heard them, and Charles...it's so hard to recognize your voice! You do GREAT, though!
Charles: Yes, I did. I think that written by Frederick Forsythe, and another challenge accent wise.
JAZKRZ: I heard that Couplets might be released on CD? Is this true? I can't wait
Nicolettah: The Snapple commercials are great- almost didn't recognize the voice
FORMALI: Are the Snapple commercials on the radio, or TV?
Gaileliza: I think it sucks that they made you americanize that lovely accent!
Kibaba99: I had trouble recognizing the voice too! Great job though!
Lorin25: Both, Lisa....that I've heard. :)
SNORKELKEG: <--haven't heard the snapple commercials yet:(
JAZKRZ: Redemption= audio book by Leon Uris. It's wonderful!
Charles: Yes, indeed it is true, and the delay is my fault. I'm in the process of getting the rights to poems.
FORMALI: Deanne, thank you!! :)
Gaileliza: Snapple ads are gone off the air.
Charles: They've evidently chosen another advertising company, good-bye to yours truly. Show biz.
JAZKRZ: I imagine that takes a while to line up
SNORKELKEG: Figures and I missed them!!
SNORKELKEG: So Charles, how the hell are you doing????
Lorin25: Oh no!! That stinks. :(
Snowrun506: They're Loss Charles ;) Me too Karen :(
FORMALI: Awww, Charles! That's too bad.
KPeter611: Who is Charles?? Keating???
Kibaba99: Boy, that was a quick run for the ads! I'm sorry. :(
FORMALI: They don't know what they have lost.
Becca309: Shame on Snapple-- I love those commercials!! Turn them up on the radio when I hear them
Charles: Easy come, easy go.
Lorin25: I'm not doing my job too well over here. <G>
KPeter611: Wow......great!!!!
Becca309: Jenn-- you finally made a great chat!!
Kibaba99: Slacking off there Lorin <VBG>!
KPeter611: Of all nights to have trouble signing on!!!!!
JAZKRZ: We are all heartbroken about Frankie/Alice- How is the mood on the show?
Steelhawk1: Hi Charles, Could you please say Happy Birthday to one of your biggest fans Edie?. Her Birthday is on Monday
Lorin25: LOL, Kibbo...yup. ;)
Becca309: Ivan-- Edie is on her way now-- thanks to yours truly <g>
Byndclulys: I know, I'm about to pass out.
SnowDrift7: Charles, was Alice surprised by the fan outcry
KPeter611: Charles......it's great to have you here!!!
Lorin25: Say hi to Charles Keating, Edie. :)
Byndclulys: You of course made it again.
KPeter611: Hi Edie!!
FORMALI: I hope we don't have to be exposed to too much more of that, it's embarrassing
AWorldFan: Hi Charles
Snowrun506: Charles..do you prefer playing Carl as good or evil?? I know, I know. . dumb question, but I'd really like to know ;)
Steelhawk1: Edie- Oh, I'm so glad your hear...look the big kahuna is here :)
Charles: Dear Edie, have the happiest birthday this year. Love, Charles.
SNORKELKEG: <---Mine is 2 days after Edies!!!!
AWorldFan: You're kidding right?
Steelhawk1: Thank you Charles:)
Lorin25: Penny, hi there! Chatting with us is Charles Keating and his wife Mary ("Charles").
KPeter611: Who is "Charles", Charles too??
Kibaba99: Edie - you lucky girl!! :)
Steelhawk1: No, Edie I asked Charles to say HB to you :)
Lorin25: Nope, Edie..."Charles" is Charles. :)
Becca309: Hi Mary
KPeter611: Ok.....got the answer!!
SnowDrift7: Charles, what about the play your doing this Fall? Are you looking forward to it?
SNORKELKEG: Hi Mary...didn't say hey to you!
Kibaba99: HI Mary!
KPeter611: Hello Mary.....and welcome!
KPeter611: We are all such BIG fans of yours, Charles!!
AWorldFan: Hi Mary and Charles welcome
Charles: There is no single trait to an interesting character, before when they made Carl purely evil, they painted him into a corner and I had to leave.
Nicolettah: Hi Bucko<G>
Nicolettah: Hello Mary!
Shababy: Hey, whats going on?
Kibaba99: I think a dark side is always interesting. :)
SNORKELKEG: Mary, say hey to Charles before you leave!
Becca309: Charles-- my dad thinks you're cool <he told me to tell you>
FORMALI: Charles, absolutely, real people have many facets.
AWorldFan: Thanks for the birthday greeting This is Edie
JAZKRZ: The struggle is what makes it real and facinating.
Gaileliza: I would love to see Carl and Rachel get into a new caper!
Charles: Make no mistake, I love the dark side, but I love the humor too and therefore, the humanity of the man
Shababy: Is Charles Keating here?
SNORKELKEG: :( I didn't get a birthday greeting!!!
Lorin25: Yes, Sharon...Charles = Charles and his wife, Mary. :)
Snowrun506: Thank you Charles... never thought of it that way ;) I totally agree!!
Shababy: Happy B- day SNORK!
SNORKELKEG: Thanks Sha!!!! I can always count on you!
Lorin25: That makes perfect sense, even for someone who hasn't a clue about acting. <G>
Snowrun506: Karen.. happy birthday ;)
Lorin25: Yes, Sharon...Charles = Charles and his wife, Mary. :)
Gaileliza: OH boy, are you in for a treat/
Snowrun506: Thank you Charles... never thought of it that way ;) I totally agree!!
Charles: Oh, dear Snorkel, happy birthday to you. Love, Charles.
JAZKRZ: Oh, You DO know what keeps us watching
Kibaba99: I love the humor too!
SNORKELKEG: Thanks Charles....by the way I am Karen!!
SnowDrift7: <--- really wish it were my birthday <sigh>
FORMALI: I loved Carl's scenes with Grant. Mark Pinter seems really nice in person.
Steelhawk1: Karen- Happy Birthday!
Lorin25: LOL, Cyn!!
Kibaba99: LOL Cyn!
JAZKRZ: Are the new writters going to give Rachel back her backbone?
KPeter611: Charles.....it was WONDERFUL meeting you at the Fan Club Luncheon!!
FORMALI: Where has Rachel been, anyway?
Charles: Mark is even better than nice, he's a pleasure to work with always.
Gaileliza: Charles, charles, charles...does Mary watch you on the telly?
Becca309: Charles-- any info about the off-B show, Everybody Smile? Dates, etc.? A bunch of us plan to go
Shababy: Charles and Mary... HI! How ya doing?
Byndclulys: Charles, I loved meeting last year at the luncheon. Are you going again next year?
FORMALI: That's great. It must be a lot of fun (and hard work, I'm sure) to work with such a great group of people
Charles: Because I don't watch the show, Mary becomes my eyes. She always tapes it and asks me if I want to see it. But she knows I can't bear watching myself. So every time, I tell her "no".
Shababy: My Nieces Sheri and Sarah would Like to Hi to all!
Lorin25: Charles, did you by chance receive a painting from a Suzanne Lewis (MangoBuns)? :)
JAZKRZ: Your acceptance at the Emmy was a great tribute to the entire cast
Gaileliza: It was a wonderful eve for you...
Snowrun506: You would be amazed Charles.. watch it sometime ;) You are GOOD!!!!!!
Charles: Yes, indeed and charming it was.
SNORKELKEG: Charles-you SHOULD watch yourself...you are very good!!!!!!!
Jensfan: I was at the Emmy's and my two friends and I were screaming like we were insane in the balcony!
FORMALI: You should watch yourself, Charles. You're one of the most entertaining actors on TV(or else where)
Bizyma: Very good!!!
SnowDrift7: Charles do you enjoy stage work more... you were SO WONDERFUL in Love Letters!
Snowrun506: Charles.. do you have any interest in doing movies??
Gaileliza: I would die to see LL- will you bring it to Seattle?
FORMALI: Charles, I remember seeing you in a motion picture, but just at the beginning, what was it?
Gaileliza: The Bodyguard
Charles: I can honestly say I love all of it. Theatre, film, t.v
Becca309: Everyone-- I was in a car accident today :(
**Lot's of well wishes for Becca in here**
Charles: Becca, hope you're well.
AWorldFan: Charles any dates for the play yet?
Becca309: Edie-- I asked that too <g>
Becca309: Back problems-- I was a passenger and we got hit from behind
JAZKRZ: Was the older love= peace and Passion your input? It was right on target
Charles: As to "Everybody Smile", the off-broadway play, there are still plans afoot, but nothing signed.
Becca309: Thanks everyone!! You guys are the best
KPeter611: Charles..........just loved your scene with Vicky yesterday!!
AWorldFan: Mary look for a comparison suprise come Christmas time -Edie
Becca309: I need some TLC-- from who is the question?? :)
Byndclulys: maybe Charles can think of someone. LOL
JAZKRZ: I take it you don't mean us, Becca?
SNORKELKEG: NOT GABE!!!!! Becca I go far for you, but I won't give you Gabe!!!
Charles:Becca, TLC coming through cyberspace here and now.
Lorin25: Awwww!!!! That should help! :)
Becca309: I was thinking...............................How about Dave Gibbs?? <g>
Kibaba99: Boy, if that doesn't make you feel better <g>!
SnowDrift7: Charles, even when the writing is painfully dull, your scenes with Vicky are wonderful.
Snowrun506: Becca!! TLC from Charles & Mary Keating.. WOW ;)
Jensfan: I'm telling you!!
SNORKELKEG: Kibs......what do you have to say about that!!
Nicolettah: That would work, huh Becca?!!
Becca309: Thanks Charles!!!
FORMALI: Charles, I am 33. I don't wish to be famous, but I've always wanted to try acting in local productions. Am I too old to start? Honestly.
Steelhawk1: Lisa- I didn't know you wanted to become an actress
Snowrun506: Charles ... she is also beautiful :D
SNORKELKEG: Charles....I have to say your scenes with Jensen on Monday were wonderful!! You tore my heart out!!!
JAZKRZ: Charles, Jensen hinted that more of the cast lurks than we know
JAZKRZ: Can you tell us more?
Shababy: Charles and Mary - i love yas!
Charles: NEVER! Check into it at once if you have the urge. We should always follow our urges.
Snowrun506: NEVAH.. Lisa!!!!! It's TRUE!!! :P
Lorin25: Good advice, Charles!
FORMALI: Thank you. That meant a lot coming from someone with your experience.
Steelhawk1: Lisa, can you act?<g>
Shababy: Charles - can you tell Tim Gibbs I love Him! I AM DESPERATE! He he
Jensfan: ooohhhhhh
Byndclulys: Charles, how would one go about getting started in acting. I've wanted to act since I was 2 but i have no idea where to begin.
***Lot's of LOL's at Sharon's comment here***
Charles: No, tell him yourself.
***A lot more LOL's at Charles' comment here***
Becca309: Sha wishes she could!!
Charles: You have been, darling, you just haven't been getting paid for it.
AWorldFan: LOL Charles
KPeter611: Charles......how doew the cast feel about Frankie's demise??
Nicolettah: you tell her Charles!
Shababy: Charles, i am sorry ... I just love him so much! thanks!
SNORKELKEG: Well tell Charles you love him to Sha!
Lorin25: Folks, did you see that all the web pages are going black on the dreaded 19th?? :**(
JAZKRZ: We are all sick about Frankie/Alice
Charles: That's O.K.
Steelhawk1: Yes, Lorin!
Kibaba99: I read that Lorin. :)
Becca309: Lor-- yes!!! wish I had a HP to black out...think I can get one by then? <g>
AWorldFan: Charles what do you think about your home page
KPeter611: I read that it's supposed to be a very violent episode......not looking forward to it
Gaileliza: Charles, have you seen any of the many web pages about AW?
Nicolettah: Yes Lorin :(
FORMALI: Yes. We are all so sad about that.
Lorin25: :) It's a tribute to Alice and Frankie.
SnowDrift7: Poor Edie, Aug 19th is her Birthday and it's AW's BLACK MONDAY
Charles: My feelings as to Alice Barrett are obvious and shared by the company, it seems to most of us that this wasn't especially well thought out, but there it is.
AWorldFan: Thanks for reminding me Cyn
FORMALI: I have young children, can not bear to watch a young mom die...too depressing
Gaileliza: I agree, Charles...
Lorin25: I just can't see the benefit from letting her go, especially with the outpour from her fans.
KPeter611: But unfortunately it will be too late.........
Snowrun506: Charles.. do TPTB realize what a strong following AW has?
SNORKELKEG: Not thought out well at all!!! And for what....beefcake? YUCK
Kibaba99: ITA Lorin!
Charles: I can't bear to watch it either - Mary
JAZKRZ: I've wondered if they aren't killing off some favorites to cast them in the new soap. Comments?
SnowDrift7: Are things adrift these days without JFP or more calm...we feel so uncertain about the fate of AW
Gaileliza: +Yeah, its just sucks
Lorin25: If I have the nerve to watch, I'll have a years' supply of hankies handy. :*(
Nicolettah: You never know Deanne
SNORKELKEG: Don't think so Deanne.....Alice is going to look into fall season!
Kibaba99: I am so sick about Frankie's death. :*(
Kibaba99: I have to watch...but I think it will be through my fingers.
SNORKELKEG: HATE the thought of losing Alice B!!! :(
Charles: We are all uncertain these days, but I am assured that NBC want this show to work. P&G want this show to work. JFP wanted this show to work.
Lorin25: Charles, does letter writing help? I work with Tom and the AWFB and it'd be good to know the efforts of the fans pay off, if only a little.
Becca309: Frankie and Ryan will be together now :**(
Nicolettah: Me too, Kibs
Jensfan: I'm sure we'll all be screaming at out TV's across the country.
Lorin25: Awwww, Becca!!! :*(
Steelhawk1: Becca- yes
Kibaba99: BEC!! <SOB>
Snowrun506: I sure hope so!!!!!! Don't want to lose AW :(
Gaileliza: Me too...that is the sort of violent crap that should stay on the movie screen
SNORKELKEG: OOOOOOHHHHH Ryan!!!!! SOB, SOB, SOB!!!!
KPeter611: Well, that's encouraging.....but it won't work if they keep killing off all the characters that we love.
Lorin25: I definitely will if I can find my voice. :(
Charles: The letter writing that continue to produce, has I am told an enormous impact, but like all big ships it takes a lot of time and space to move around in.
Shababy: My nieces want to be Sofia?dahlia and Vicky/Jensen! I started them on AW!
KPeter611: Charles.......we all loved your scenes with Vicky Monday.....
Becca309: I'll be too choked up to yell-- I sobbed so much for Ryan, this may be as bad :(
SnowDrift7: Charles, thanks for answering :) about the future of AW.
Steelhawk1: Charles, you seem to be a mentor to alot of the actors at AW, I talked to Lisa and Les (at the MSN chat) and they all look up to you and your expertise!
KPeter611: We hope to see much more of you and Rachel.....you're the heart and soul of the show.
Becca309: Yes, thank you charles-- we hope AW has a very looooong future ahead!
Byndclulys: I hope AW is on forever, I couldn't bear to lose it.
Snowrun506: Yes Charles .. Thanks... with actors such as you and Victoria, etc.. I can't see how it can fail...
SnowDrift7: Carl & Rachel are the cornerstone of AW
Lorin25: Me neither. There is just too much talent on that show.
SNORKELKEG: Hey Charles..can't you put Maggie over your knee and give her a good spanking!!!!
JAZKRZ: Does it still seem that TPTB are trying to make AW more like Days?
Snowrun506: And it is more realistic than most of the other soaps.
Kibaba99: Way too much talent! The entire cast is quite an ensamble.
Gaileliza: Yes!
KPeter611: Charles.....what are they going to do with Maggie?
FORMALI: Deanne, NO, say it isn't so!!!!
Charles: It seems to so many of us, a simple task, get a good story teller and have it well told to an audience as enthusiastic and altruistic as you are.
Nicolettah: If the length of the day is any indication, it sure does Deanne
Shababy: NO Days replica!Aw RULES on its own!
FORMALI: Charles, absolutely.
Lorin25: <---Getting dictionary. <G>
***Some LOL's here for me <G>***
Kibaba99: AMEN Charles!!
Gaileliza: And we are vocal, aren't we?
FORMALI: We need something that's a little more mature than the "D***" fare, why does everything have to be a clone of everything else??
AWorldFan: Charles and Mary are you having fun yet? <G>
Lorin25: Ha, got it. Thanks Charles, what a great compliment! :)
JAZKRZ: Charles, It's so simple. Why can't TPTB understand that
Nicolettah: ITA Lisa!
Kibaba99: so what does it mean?
Lorin25: I will be devastated if they try to turn our beloved AW into a clone of Days.
Charles: Yes, we are enjoying ourselves.
Jensfan: Maybe the recent ratings jump will give them pause in changing it too much.
Nicolettah: Me too, Lorin
Kibaba99: Me too Lorin!!
SnowDrift7: I hope so Marie!!
SNORKELKEG: After 30 years I will QUIT watching if they do that..
JAZKRZ: I hope so Marie
KPeter611: Karen........30 years?? Me, too! 31 I think
FORMALI: I know you guys don't agree with me, but RKK will help the ratings. AW follows D*** in many markets
Snowrun506: Charles.... do the actors get much input into the storyline?
Charles: I don't think NBC have any desire to turn AW into DAYS, they recognize the virtue of AW being different.
Byndclulys: If AW is cancelled i'd never watch NBC again!
Kibaba99: I think you are right Lisa.
Lorin25: Lisa, I believe you're 100% correct on that. I hope it helps the show.
Nicolettah: I hope so Marie, but the mags are attributing it to the Olympics- we know better though
Gaileliza: I threaten a lot, but no matter what...I will keep watching...I have since I was a kid
FORMALI: Charles, thank God they realize that
Lorin25: That's very good to hear, Charles!!
JAZKRZ: Thank God, Charles. The rumors have had us worried as well as some of the characters changes
Becca309: I hope so Charles-- AW is so much classier JMO <g>
Jensfan: I know the Mags are saying it was the OLYMPICS, that sucks!
Kibaba99: I am very glad to hear that!!
Shababy: BYe, I really am going now! thanks and see yas!
AWorldFan: Nite Sha
Jensfan: I'll keep watching too, I can't stop with Jensen there, she's a friend.
Lorin25: Even if it is the Olympics that drew in more viewers, it could've hooked a good portion of them and will help the ratings in the long run. No?
FORMALI: Charles, I watched D*** for 23 yrs, and finally gave up with a particularly ridiculous storyline...I like some reality with my fantasy, thank you!!
Byndclulys: May 4, 1964 AW premeired. I want it to continue until....forever.
Nicolettah: The mags never seem to have much positive to say about AW
AWorldFan: Charles they aren't really going to turn you into a Stefano character are they?
Gaileliza: Even out here in Seattle it is given little publicity or respect!
FORMALI: Nicole, when they say something at all.
SnowDrift7: How has RKK integrated into the company? He's gotten so much publicity!
FORMALI: OH, EDIE, shhhhhhhhhh!! Hush your mouth!!!LOL
Charles: I will leave before that happens and why on earth would anyone want to turn a superior character into a less than superior character. You can take that to the bank.
Lorin25: Charles, as I loved the He Says/She Says that you and Victoria did a while back. Nice article!
KPeter611: Good for you, Charles
Snowrun506: LOL Charles!!!!!! Good for you!!!!!!!!!

Charles: On the night of the Emmys it was mentioned that Rosie was interested in me being on the show at some point, so I was told. We shall see.
FORMALI: Well, the CLASSY talk shows, anyway
JAZKRZ: SOD's thumbs down articles were dirrected at TPTB not the actors
Jensfan: Cool, Jensen wants to do Rosie.
Becca309: Lor-- are we posting it on the boards??

Kibaba99: I think you are right Charles!!
Nicolettah: Good idea Charles
FORMALI: Charles, wonderful idea!
SNORKELKEG: You guys could do a scene from Love Letters!! COOL

Lorin25: You took the words right outta my mouth, Lis.
KPeter611: Anything you do, Charles, would be great
Gaileliza: Rosie is such a hoot! You would have a blast on her show!
FORMALI: <----apologizes for sounding so uninformed
KPeter611: If you do children's stuff, I could tape it for school......
Kibaba99: I'm glad I wasn't the only one wondering what material <g>! LOL!!
Nicolettah: When isn't she singing, Lisa?
Charles: Some of the children's material from the show "Couplets" that Vic and I do.
JAZKRZ: Children's poetry?
Lorin25: That sounds very interesting! I'd love to see that.
FORMALI: I have never seen "Couplets"...you say there is a CD coming out soon, or it's in the works?
AWorldFan: Couplets is great!
Charles: Actually the poems are by E.E. Cummings. The CD is in the works.
SNORKELKEG: Hey Charles....you could come read Poetry to my class anytime!
Charles: Can I have specifics, Karen?
JAZKRZ: The only ee cumings I remember is very sensual
Snowrun506: Mary.. you must not get to see much of Charles, what with AW and Couplets.. we appreciate you sharing some of your time with us tonight ;)
SNORKELKEG: Charles....I teach in Chicago...kind of far away....but they are sweet kids!!
FORMALI: I would love her to hear ANYTHING from you, Charles, you are pure class
Steelhawk1: Charles, Can you give any tips to a "Carl Jr." in training?.
SnowDrift7: LOL!! Ivan that's right, you're Carl-in-training!
Charles: I don't know what that means?
AWorldFan: CHarles Ivan is a Carl in Training its a identity we gave him <G>
Lorin25: What what means?
Lorin25: Oh, Carl Jr.
SnowDrift7: And Edie is Ivan's mentor
SNORKELKEG: Seriously Charles...if you ever come to Chicago, our children would love to here you!!
Charles: Well, keep pursuing what you're doing, you're obviously doing it right.
KPeter611: I'm in NJ........you could come here to read to MY kids...all 25 of them......
FORMALI: Deanne, and I believe they are close in age, also, right? (girl 6, boy 4)
Gaileliza: Charles, should I break my bank and come out to NYC next spring to see you at the luncheon?
KPeter611: we're stressing the Language Arts,,,you'd be great!!
Steelhawk1: Thank you, Mr. Keating!
SNORKELKEG: Hey Kathy...I have 28...more of an audience!! LOL
Byndclulys: charles, did you enjoy the luncheon.
Charles: No, don't break your bank Gail.
Charles: I enjoyed the fans at the luncheon as I always do, but I did vow it would be my last.
Snowrun506: Charles.. any particular reason??
KPeter611: Why???? We loved meeting you!!
Jensfan: Charles, you're not going in 97?
Lorin25: You did, Charles? We'll certainly miss seeing you there.
Becca309: Why, Charles??
JAZKRZ: Charles, Say it isn't so <sob>
Charles: This isn't the format to get into it.
Kibaba99: I am sorry to hear that Charles. I didn't get a chance to meet you :(
SNORKELKEG: YO Skates!!!!!
Witheld #2: Thanks Becca!
Lorin25: Elizabeth, hello!! Charles Keating and his wife Mary are here tonight. :)
Nicolettah: Hi Elizabeth!
Becca309: Hi Elizabeth!!! Say hello to Charles!
SnowDrift7: The luncheon was a mob scene, is that why, Charles?
Gaileliza: Don't say its the last one!! I live in Seattle now! Will you come back?
Witheld #2: Hi Everyone & mostly Charles! It's an honor to chat with you!
FORMALI: Charles, I'm so disappointed!!! I got THIS CLOSE to meeting you, and they scooted you away!
AWorldFan: Long hours and the crowds
KPeter611: I think they needed better organization......
Charles: Its always a mob scene, no that is not the reason.
KPeter611: Too much of a mob scene for the actors.......
SNORKELKEG: I know Charles.....the food was lousy!!!!!!
Byndclulys: I'm just glad I got to meet you last year.
FORMALI: But, alas, I can't say that I blame you, it is crazy there (and no a/c)!
Becca309: <-----met Charles, so happy that I did
Kibaba99: The luncheon must be quite tiring for the actors.
Snowrun506: LOL Karen!!! I don't think that was it either ;)
Lorin25: I never got to meet Charles or Victoria that day. :(
Witheld #2: I love my picture with Charles, we both look exhusted!!
Gaileliza: Then I thank God, I got to meet you in Seattle last Oct.
FORMALI: They all looked so beat. Except Tom E, who found time to squeeze every last woman's rear-end.
Charles: The energy that you give us sends us out of there high. It isn't that its tiring in my opinion the year before last was incredibly successful because we presented ourselves as an ensemble. This year, lacked that generosity of company spirit.
AWorldFan: Mary it was great meeting you you are so nice and friendly!
Snowrun506: Charles.. do you ever break your vows to yourself? ;)
***Lot's of LOL's here for Lisa's Tom E. comment***
SnowDrift7: Loved meeting Charles and Mary at Love Letters -- what a fantastic show!.
Witheld #2: Charles-- How are things on the set these days? Have they hired someone to replace JFP?
Charles: Yes, Snow, often.
Lorin25: Charles, do you mean the performance or the entire event?
Snowrun506: Ohhhh Charles,, that is sad :(
FORMALI: Charles, that was noticed, I think, by a lot of people...I can't say that I blame you
Snowrun506: Maybe next year will be better though.. yes??
JAZKRZ: Charles, Do the actors have any input into the luncheon and ideas to improve it?
FORMALI: ...What happened? Some of the actors did not seem "into" it
Jensfan: I read that VW was upset with the cooperation of the cast.
Nicolettah: I read that too, Marie- said she would rather work with the kids
Charles: I believe the luncheon should serve the fans and not be an ego fest or a business venture.
SNORKELKEG: Way to go Charles!!!!!!
Lorin25: Thanks, Charles!
Witheld #2: ITA Charles!
Kibaba99: Thank you Charles :)
Snowrun506: That is nice Charles!!!!!!
Gaileliza: I agree, Charles!
