Kristie's Comments

I was so excited when I saw him walk through the door! I couldn't wait for him to get up to the bar so I can talk to him and have him make me a drink. (btw, i think he was trying to get me smashed...lol, the drink he made me was way too strong!)

I asked him if it was true if he got into a tiff with Ingo Rademacher backstage at the Emmy's.

I didn't bring him anything.

After I got his autograph, I gave him a kiss on the cheek and he said that he would never wash his cheek again (sigh!)

And in a word...Awesome!

I was thinking: I can't believe I've come out to this bar to see a "TV star". This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. What am I thinking? I feel foolish.

The first thing I said to him was You're the best thing to happen to All My Children in 15 years. He turned to me with the most genuinely touched look on his incredibly beautiful face, put his hand on my shoulder, squeezed, and said, very sincerely, "Thank you". He really looked surprised by my comment.

I didn't bring him anything, other than my heart, of course. :-)

I won't ever forget that Thank You. It was so sincere. He wasn't putting on airs or "working" me. And he told me what was written in the script for the scene after he and Greenlee had their first "encounter". Leo and Greenlee have just made "hot monkey love". Just the way he said it was SO funny.

And in a word...Genuine.

My grammy asked me to answer all these questions, so here it goes:

I was hoping that Josh would look at me and hoping that he gives me an autograph for my grammy.

I was not saying anything....I couldn't help it. I did grin, and drooled all the way.

I don't get any pocket money yet. The next time I meet him, I'll bring him a rose, or something.

He said that I was sooo cute.

And in a word...MARVELOUS, cool, divine, groovy, hot, keen, neat, sensational, terrific, wonderful



I went to the Charity Basketball Game in Wappingers Falls, NY on May 6, 2000 with some friends to meet the stars from Passions and Days of Our Lives, but let me tell you, Josh Duhamel gave me the best first impression. He was the first soap star to come out of the locker room area, and I had no idea who he was. One of my friends told me who he was because she watched All My Children. So in actuality my experience meeting Josh was very different. I went to the Charity Basketball Game not knowing who he was but left totally loving Josh.

Since I really didn't have a clue to who he was, I didn't bring him anything.

The first thing I said to Josh was "Hi, I'm Christina..can I take a picture with you?" He was soooo nice and said, "Hey Christina..its nice to meet you, I'm Josh (That's when I found out his name! LOL) sure no problem"

I probably won't forget that! He was just so nice and sooo personable. He was like your regular guy just chilling and totally acted like he was my friend. We talked for a couple minutes later on in the day, and he was goofing off and making jokes! I guess his personality was what was so attractive about him. Not to mention his looks! =) I had a great time and now I can't wait to meet him again..whenever that will be! =) It was a different kind of meeting, but it was a good different! He is totally lovable and so nice!


Mona's Moment

I was a nervous wreck with sweaty palms and a rapid heartbeat. I felt like this was all a dream and was ecstatic that it was a small crowd, figuring I could ask more questions.

I actually asked about four or five questions from the audience. I believe the first question I asked was "When will we see you in a love scene?"

I didn't take him anything personal, but did give him two web sites from other people to check out. He seemed truly interested.

He was joking around a lot, but when asked about the love scene he joked that besides Leo being illiterate he also wets his bed!

And in a word...Fabulous.


What was going through my mind moments before I met josh is kind of a blur. Lots of nerves. I was wondering if he would be as hot as he is on TV, which of course he was and more. I was also wondering if he would be nice or if he would be just trying to promote his show and not be very personable. I was just thinking how much I liked him and feeling overwhelmingly exited and lucky when I heard the door open, turned around, and saw Josh who had just practically burst through the doors and he said, "Am I in the right place?"

The first thing I said to Josh... I was actually answering for him when an older man asked him how to pronounce his last name, and I blurted out "doo-mel." He said "that's right," and we proceeded to talk about me driving in the snow storm to get there. I told him how I get really nervous and slam on my brakes, and he told me that wasn't a smart thing to do which of course I know, but it sounded so good coming from him. He also told me a story about how one time he was driving home to his father's house and the roads were very icy, and the wind was blowing so badly that his car was sliding with the wind from side to side.

I didn't bring him anything except for myself!

I think that everything that he said to me will be something that I'll never forget, but if I had to choose one thing, this would be it: After the hug, when I was about to walk away, he said "hey don't be slamming on those brakes on the ride home now." That was very cool because first of all he actually remembered that conversation we had and again advised me to be safe. It was very important to me because he was so personal.

And in a word...(or two!) If I had to describe this experience in one word it would be overwhelming. I felt overwhelmed throughout the whole time with emotions, even afterwords and possibly even now I am overwhelmed. I am going to add one more question. What one word would I use to describe Josh? It would definitely be classy. He is so classy. I'm not even really sure how to define classy, but it definitely involves sexy. He was very sexy but in a mysterious sort of classy way(which I can't define)!


Jessica's Journey

When I was waiting in line to get his autograph and meet him I was thinking he looks so much better in person and he was so tall I couldn't believe how tall he was. And I was thinking I would love to go out with him.

The first thing I said to him was Hi. Then he looked at the stuff I had for him to sign a Soap Opera Magazine, and he said when was this picture taken it must be new. He signed my Complete family scrapbook too he pretended to have a problem spelling my name which is Jessica. He was so funny. Then I asked him if he could stand up to have a picture taken with me that's when he picked me up I was in total shock I couldn't believe he did that. After all that I asked him if he would dance with me after he signed autographs for all the fans he said yes.

I didn't bring him anything but this time in July if he comes up I sure will.

When we were dancing, I am not the best dancer at all and believe me he is really good, he told me to jump up and down and of course I did it and he started laughing at me he was just fooling around with me which I though was really cool. Then he saw my little sister that's 12 taking pictures of us and asked her to join in for the second song.

And in a word... That's a hard one. I have to say Unbelievable.
