So I Met Days of Our Lives

November 7, 2015 by Rashid

Last week I got to meet several cast members from Days of Our Lives!  I’ve been a fan since 1988 or so.    It was also my first fan event.  In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the show, a book called Days of Our Lives 50 Years was published.  A book tour happened with a surprise stop in Washington.  I waited for hours with a bunch of really nice people who had been fans for most of their lives as well, including a few from the very beginning.  I definitely want to attend another event now!

I waited for about three hours with these people who were already here when I arrived.

Nadia Bjorlin is really pretty in person. I told her that her face was BEAT. Then I had to explain what that meant. Oops.

Doug and Susan Hayes were incredibly sweet and gracious.

Greg Meng, editor of the Days anniversary book, was also really nice.
