Just watched it. I didn't hear anyone booing her. I heard disappointment "oh-no" when she was doubling over in pain, and heard loud cheers when they announced her name. I thought that Arianne was very well received, as was most of the actors.

Not much respect for those who feel the need to boo an actress because they are mad at her character. Ari is there meeting fans, not Nicole. I read that she was gracious and funny and stunningly beautiful, and had a wonderful time sitting between James and Joe. Who wouldn't?

The thing is that some people that do not like Nicole (maybe even Ari) are going to try to make it sound like the general viewing public of the show do not like her. If people did boo her that is pretty immature, IMO. I do not like the character of Abe at all, but there is no way I would yell boo about him in JR's presence.

I was at the event, Deidre couldn't have been nicer. I have pictures of her smiling and waving when they took her away from the signing, both her and Drake. And I took video of her on the balcony when they all came out to wave to the crowd and zoomed in and she was very genuine and smiling and taking pictures for all the cast with her camera. I was right behind someone that when she saw them she stood up and gave them a hug and also a woman in a wheelchair that both her and Drake just automatically got up for together and went over and knelt down on either side and spent time with and took pictures with. I saw some great moments waiting in line. Since she knew someone in front of me and was talking to them I went ahead to Drake and he was awesome and then security was trying to get me to leave, even though I was supposed to take a picture for a friend behind me and I said 'but I haven't seen Deidre yet' and when I said her name she looked up at me and smiled, she was super nice. I didn't see her having a 'bad day'. She was one of the last to leave the balcony and was taking pictures of the crowd. From what I saw, she was having a pretty good time.

Was I in a bad mood? Ya a little, lol, cause of the way the NBC people and security were yelling at everyone all day long, lol. They were standing in front of and behind the actors and didn't let up. But the actors where all gracious and did their best with a bad situation.... being moved around because of the rain and having to put up with the yelling. Several fans came up to me at different points (I had one of the Days blue bags, so I guess they knew I was there for the event) and what I heard was frustration. Some just wanted to get a few pictures of the actors and move on, they didn't want autographs, but they couldn't even do that because someone was in their face to 'move on'. A few lucky ones got pictures when security was busy shooing away other fans.

Thanks hops for the personal account!! I'm so happy for you that you go to see her. (I'm so sorry that the NBC security was like that. I've been hearing that from many other people too.)

LadyoftheLake, as you said, "I wasn't there, so I don't know." I wasn't there either. My point, however, is what Jules says in her post: when what I've heard from 10-15 people (fans and non-fans) who were there that Deidre was exceptionally friendly and gracious, I thought I would point that out. I personally think that's worth sharing, especially when Tim, who wasn't there, is basing his post on something he sensed largely from one sentence in someone's post (someone who admitted at the beginning of his post that he hadn't slept in 48 hours.)

You know, it's not like since I'm a fan of hers I think she couldn't have been having a bad day, which is what some of you are suggesting. The point is that since I'm a fan, I've spent the past two days reading as many posts and descriptions of fanfest as I could. For example, if I were a fan of Shelley Hennig and I'd read 10-15 accounts of how nice she was, and someone posted that they sensed she didn't want to be there, I'd jump in on that post too. But here, since I've really been mostly reading accounts that mention Deidre (and Drake), that's who I'm familiar with. I'm sure people can understand that. (Just for the record, the other two people who keep being mentioned as the nicest guys there are Bryan and Thaao. I think at this point that I've read so many accounts of them that if someone who wasn't there posts that either of them didn't want to be there, I might enter that discussion too.)

As I said, Ellie, I'm well aware that pretty much all the fan accounts are positive. I'm not shocked by that. They would be. Dee isn't going to show it in front of them. As I said, stars will put up a front even if they are having a bad idea. It's rare when they actually show it to the fans that something is up. As I pointed out, what I was reading came out of moments where she wasn't with the fans. Some of the people there had their little camera phones and got footage of the stars standing around, on their way out, etc and that is where I noticed how something felt off.

I don't understand why your arguing so vehemently about this LOL. I'm not bashing Dee. It isn't a bad thing if she was having a bad day. It happens. She's human. If anything, it makes me like her more because she isn't a fake. She puts on her game face and does what she has to and doesn't show that she is having a bad day. It's fine. Again, this is just how I am reading it. No one has to agree. It's just what I saw in those particular moments so I brought it up. It's almost like bringing up anything bad about Dee triggers a full on assault to defend her. This isn't even a bad thing! It's an observation that could very well be a bad read on my part. Even if it isn't, so what? She had a bad day and would rather be elsewhere. No big deal.

I brought up the post from SON because it's an example of someone who did not have a totally positive experience. Granted, he came to like her in the end but at the start it did go well. That is why I brought it up. It was different then some of the fan accounts I've read in regards to Dee. I don't have an agenda or anything. I adore Dee. Just making observations. And, as I said, I got the same feeling from some others there too but I've seen more footage and pictures of Dee so I didn't post about those observations because I have not seen as much pictures and footage of the others I'm talking about as I have her thus far.

It's Ok, Tim. I understand the point you were trying to make. It bugs me that even considering certain actors are human and might have bad days is a travesty beyond Fidel Castro taking over the US.

Did you go?

And I'm not saying that Arianne wasn't well received. I'm just saying that I've heard from someone who was there that Nicole was not very well received, again, not the actress but the character - there is a difference. When they are announcing that Nicole is pregnant with EJ's baby and you hear booing, they are not booing Arianne, they are booing the character of Nicole.

I'm sure she is a very nice lady and she is funny etc. But that doesn't mean her character is likable, in fact she is downright annoying right now, IMO. And you really think the crowd was so in sync that they were yelling in unison "oh-no"? Sorry, I still hear boo.

LMAO to Joe Mascolo in that first video when he said "It means he will get arrested" in response to the "I'm having EJ's baby" sign.

Did anyone notice how Thaoo and LeAnn got like no fan reaction? I'm not sure whether people got so caught up in everyone else who came out (afterall, Joe came out with them and was getting alot of attention) but it got almost dead silent when their names were called. It seemed that way too for others like Josh Taylor, John Aniston, and Lauren Koslow so I guess it's most likely because people like James Scott, Joe Mascolo, etc came out before them and took the crowd's attention away from those in front of or behind them.

Shelley Hennig did look beautiful as the girls in the back were saying. Joe was really hamming it up and I love the little jump KA did when she first got onstage. Peggy McKay and Renee Jones seemed to be joking around with the crowd it seemed. Renee even humored the crowd when they cried out for Theo LOL.

Ali Sweeney didn't even look pregnant in what she was wearing.

LOL to Bryan and Darin hanging out on the balcony. Must have been on break. Bryan just kept smiling LOL. They acted like they were up to something and, of course, Bryan would be the one devising the plan. They both are said to be pranksters so no surprise them hanging out. Nice seeing Blake too.

Drake seemed happy, as did Eric. He does suite the role of Brady Black. I get this feeling Dee just didn't want to be there. I know she got caught in traffic but something was off about her. She seemed a bit miffed about something. She's usually so gracious and so warm and welcoming and I did not get that feel at all so far in any of the videos or pics I have seen.

No I didn't know. I'm not a member of her fan club or anything like that.

If that is the case, that's fine. As I said, I have no problem with her being tired or upset from being stuck in traffic and so on. I'm really confused because some are acting like this is a bad thing. It's realistic. It's human. I'm in no way bashing Dee. Just saying that from what I saw in certain moments, I felt something wasn't right. That's all.

I didn't think you were bashing at all and thanks for your words.

I guess I'm just confused by how jumpy some got when I brought up Dee possibly not having a good day. I just don't see what the big deal is. So what? She was pissed, sick, upset, or whatever and wasn't gung ho on being there or maybe she got bored or whatever. It happens. I actually prefer that kind of reaction to the kind you get from celebrities who are fake all the time and act like they are perfect. If she was up all night, that is valid reasoning to not be yourself. Hell, her being stuck in traffic is a reason too. She has justification and, again, I could be reading this all wrong. It's just what I picked up on from what I saw.
