I watched the 1st season - it was pretty good and didn't hide the struggle or why these children are in their respective situations. I hope the kids see the series themselves for personal growth. Tanisha is the most wonderful young person and right from the start showed amazing character. I am very pleased she has taken charge of her situation. The rest need to look at her attitude.

I love seeing how excited you are for The Nine Lives of Chloe King. I work with ABC Family, but I liked Skyler Samuels on The Gates too! I think she’s going to be great tonight. Will anyone else be watching?

Thanks!

I totally agree about just enjoying the experience!

Great tip about giving away freebies. I have traded more than given away but the times that I have given freebies away were very rewarding. That is a pretty awesome feeling. :)

2011-06-09T17:57:45.027-04:00

really good tips! I've been going annual since 2005 also, and I've got to say my best tip is this:
Don't expect to get everything you want. There is too much to see and do and really, you will enjoy yourself a lot more if you just prioritize and enjoy the experience. I have seen so many melt downs that could have been avoided.

Also, one of the coolest things about con go-gers is the comradarie; chatting with others in line and swapping stores . If you happen to have a freebie that's not your style.. why not give it to another fan? Year after year ill get a freebie that im not really into. And ill make sure that before the day is through I give it to a hardcore fan. Its a great feeling. Making someone else's day :)

Your welcome! :)

Thanks for the clarification of the first quote.

I also agree that the jealousy line wasn't the greatest on her part and she didn't take Kate and Alex into account but as far as talking in great detail... she definitely did not come into the interview with that state of mind. She is informed but it was very casual and she was very laid back and was not being very descriptive with her words - as we all see haha - so it's always going to be up for debate as to if she meant what she said for its simple basis or if she did not feel the need to clarify because she thought that the fans would understand what she was saying.

Now I have noticed that many actors from numerous shows do not take into account what the viewers already know in many interviews, so I do understand your point and wish she would have been more descriptive, but, alas, this is what we get.

2011-06-07T12:20:48.219-04:00

@Melody: Re. my first comment, I wasn’t intending to speak for the majority of viewers overall. I was referring to “the vast majority of the audience who don't like Hilarie and her character” - I didn’t mean to imply that is the vast majority of the audience overall, although if internet commentary is anything to go by, it’s a sizeable portion. Anyway, I think it’s fair to argue that those people are basing their negative opinion on something other than jealousy (implied by HB’s comment) of Hilarie playing opposite Neal/Matt. I don’t think it was a particularly smart comment on her part, to be honest.

As for the second quote, I'm pretty sure she means seeing him "cute and such" in the beginning of a serious relationship, which takes things to a higher level of the cute that he already is.

Possibly, but that’s not what she actually said, is it? It seemed throughout this interview that she didn’t show a particularly great appreciation of much of what the audience has already seen and learned of Neal.

As for the third quote, it seems like she means in the way that he has charmed Sara.

But again, that’s not what she actually said, as quoted in the interview. And even if we ignore all his more casual, but successful, flirtations, we’ve seen him charm both Alex and Kate on the show (we saw him wooing Kate in the flashback episode), so her comment that the audience has “never” seen him charming another woman is incorrect.

I just feel if she’s going to give an interview about the show, she should be properly informed about it.

I disagree with your first comment and don't t...

As for the third quote, it seems like she means in the way that he has charmed Sara. He's a naturally charming guy and he calculates it very well too... but aside from that, Sara is one of a few that we've seen him charm and win over to form a serious relationship.

2011-06-07T06:50:14.958-04:00
They probably hate me because I'm the girl that's luck enough that gets to do it.

I can safely say that for the vast majority of the audience who don't like Hilarie and her character it is nothing to do with this kind of thinking, but because they don't like Hilarie's rather charmless portrayal. She's not a particularly good actress, and this kind of thinking on her part doesn't help that.

But yes, I mean it's about time they see him being all cute and such.

The audience has seen Neal being "all cute and such" for 2 seasons now. We didn't need the addition of Sara to bring this to our attention.

But we've never seen him really actively swoon a woman.

Has she even watched the first 2 seasons of the show? In the first season we saw him charming (she doesn't mean "swooning" - that is not an active verb) women left, right and center. He pulled back on that a bit in S2 following Kate's death, but we still saw him charming women (including Sara herself) on several occasions.

The addition of this character and actress to this show was so unfortunate.

He's amazing. Genius.

You can ask for an autograph at the end of the taping. Melissa & Joey are great about autographs but the studio does not allow cameras or cell phones with cameras on set. Your best bet is to catch them at a red carpet event in Hollywood if you want a photo with them.

hasnt anyone asked for pictures taken with melissa or anyone of the cast? or talked personally? i know ur not supposed to take cameras but maybe with a cellphone or something.
