The Following is the Transcript from the
NBC Cyberchat at
THE NBC "SOAP OPERA AWARDS" PARTY
Nick Stabile:
Good bye all you "Sunset Beach" watchers. Keep watching and sending those letters to "Sunset Beach" Productions...I do read them all! God bless!
NBCHost:
We haven't asked this yet, but how does it feel to be part of the NBC family?
Dax Griffin:
You're dealing with one of, if not the best, networks on television. It is an extreme honor.
Dax Griffin:
Thank you for your continuous support in watching the show. Without the fans we're nothing. Thank you for watching the show!
NBCHost:
Thank you, Dax, for chatting with us! We all greatly appreciate the time that you spent with us.
NBCHost:
I would like to welcome Stephanie Cameron. Thank you for joining us this evening.
NBCHost:
Get your questions in for Stephanie Cameron!
Stephanie Cameron:
Hello from the Hard Rock!
NBCHost:
Is it hard trying to do 5 shows a week? What are your hours like and do you have time to spend with friends and family? (Martin Leeds -- Ithaca, NY)
Stephanie Cameron:
It is hard to do five shows a week, but its better than nine! My hours vary from week to week, day to day, but I always find time for my friends and family.
NBCHost:
What do you think of all this technology...are you online yourself? If so, what do you like to do on the net? If not, are you curious or planning on "surfing" in the future? - Taylor Rennerfen, Clear Lake, TX
Stephanie Cameron:
I think all this technology is wonderful. I'm not online yet, but I hope to be in the very near future. Wish me luck!
NBCHost:
Do you like doing love scenes...or are they difficult to do? I'm certainly not complaining, because we love to watch em!!! (Emily Tree)
Stephanie Cameron:
Love scenes on a soap are not at all private. There's cameras to contend with, crew, timing, your kisses, lighting. A kiss can be very, very complicated, but I'm not complaining either!
NBCHost:
If you could be any other character on "Days of our Lives" who would you be?
Stephanie Cameron:
Someone asked me this before, and I said Ivan, but I think it'd be great to be Sami for a day. To be a bad girl :)
NBCHost:
Who from the cast is fun to hang out with? Do you ever get to go out and have fun?
Stephanie Cameron:
They're all fun to hang out with, and we don't have to go out to have fun, we have fun all the time at work.
NBCHost:
What has been your most favorite moment or time on the show? Thank you for all the great!!! Lisa in Montana :-)
Stephanie Cameron:
They're all great moments!
Stephanie Cameron:
I have to go now, because my ride is leaving. I'm with Krista Allen, she says hello and goodbye.
NBCHost:
We would like to thank Stephanie Cameron for joining us this evening.
NBCHost:
Right now we're at a private NBC party. Alison Sweeney of "Days of Our Lives" will be joining us next. Get your questions in!
NBCHost:
NBC is coming at you from all directions. Check us out on the TV while you're chatting.
NBCHost:
Alison, welcome! How do you feel this evening? And how was it presenting on stage?
Alison Sweeney:
Hey, everybody!!!! How'd you enjoy the Soap awards?
Alison Sweeney:
I was totally nervous!
NBCHost:
You did an excellent job.
Alison Sweeney:
Oh, thank you. It was fun!
NBCHost:
Alison Sweeney: how do you manage to juggle school and work at the same time? It must be difficult...no? (Francois, Raleigh, NC)
Alison Sweeney:
Well, I just take one day at a time. It does get difficult, but I'm lucky to have time to relax with my pals.
NBCHost:
Is there a prankster on the set that helps to alleviate the tension and stress? Timmy G. in Idaho.
Alison Sweeney:
Well, Bryan is always making jokes, and cracking us up. But Austin is fun to laugh at. (just kidding.) They both have a great way of easing the mood on set.
NBCHost:
Alison, I here that you are an experienced cyber-surfer...where do you like to go online? (Theresa M.)
AlisonSweeney:
Well, I am just getting used to the whole WWW. But I do find it much easier to e-mail my friends.
NBCHost:
Why do you think "Days of our Lives" has been so popular? The writing? The acting? Both?
Alison Sweeney:
I think it's a combination of both. I mean, we have fun doing the story lines, so it makes it easier for us to act out. I'm glad that the fans like us so much, it makes our jobs worthwhile.
NBCHost:
Alison, when are they finally going to let Austin and Carrie have their dream of marriage to each other. ... or will you keep getting in the way? Pat Heath-Wichita, KS.
Alison Sweeney:
Hey, aren't you starting to see that Austin and Sami should be together?
NBCHost:
If you could play anyone else on the show who would it be? And why?
Alison Sweeney:
Oh, I don't know, I love my character a lot. But sometimes I think it'd be fun to have a more action-oriented character. Like the guys, John always gets to save the day and beat up the bad guys.
NBCHost:
Alison, do you ever get to work with Joseph Mascolo? Stefano and Sami should get together...they would make a great team in Salem :-}
Alison Sweeney:
I don't know, if Stefano and Sami teamed up, all hell would break loose (literally). But it would be fun to venture out and try to torment other characters for a change.
NBCHost:
Alison Sweeney: you are incredibly talented...thanks for taking the time to chat with us. What can you tell us about the party? Are your fellow castmates having fun? (Luke O'Rourke, Boston, MA)
Alison Sweeney:
It's totally fun over here. We were dancing up a storm, and I love hanging out with the gang - Christie, Austin, Rourke, Stephanie, and Krista.
Alison Sweeney:
Austin made a great host!!!!!
NBCHost:
Alison what are your future plans? Are you planning on trying other mediums? (You're the greatest- thanks for all the terrific episodes) Mike in Florida :-)
Alison Sweeney:
I don't know what i'm going to be doing - I love days, but it would be fun to try some other things - maybe some theater. I am really glad that you enjoy our work.
AlisonSweeney:
Thank you very much for hanging out with me, y'all - keep watching, and writing in to days!!! We love hearing what you think!!!
NBC Host:
