“The bathroom. Fans have come up to me in Vegas, especially BLUE MOUNTAIN STATE dudes who were drunk, and be like, ‘Oh, my God! You’re Alex Moran,’ while I’m in midstream.”
Gina Tognoni (Phyllis, Y&R)
"It always takes me by surprise when I'm recognized, but especially when it's the doctor that recognizes me -- right after my exam.
Karla Mosley (Maya, B&B)
“Usually in the airport, but once in the bathroom, coming out of the stall, about to wash my hands. There was also one person outside my house, which, hopefully, that
was just coincidence.
Robert Palmer Watkins (Dillon, GH)
“I was throwing a birthday party at my house and my friends invited other random friends that I had never met. We were all in the hot tub [and this girl] said, ‘I have a confession to make: I’m a huge Dillon fan and I love GENERAL HOSPITAL. I’ve been watching since I was a little kid.’ I was like, ‘What! Why didn’t you say anything?’ I could tell she was a little nervous around me, because she’s a huge GH fan who had no idea she was coming over to Dillon Quartermaine’s house!”
Beth Maitland (Traci, Y&R)
“The examining room. I was meeting my new general practitioner for the first time, completed a rather thorough physical, and was asking for help with some medical issues. At the end of our session, this very professional and lovely female doctor leaned in and said, ‘By the way, I’m a big fan, and I love your work. I watched you all through medical school.’ Fortunately, she is a wonderful doctor and remained my physician for many years.”
John McCook (Eric, B&B)
“The urinal. It was a man, of course, and I was standing there when he walked up and unzipped and said, ‘I know you,’ which is always what you want to hear at a urinal. I suggested we talk outside and we did and he took a picture. And that was that.”
Kin Shriner (Scott, GH)
“Since Peter [Hansen, ex-Lee] has passed, I’m going to tell you a story he had that would answer this Round Up question. Long, long ago, he took a trip somewhere in Africa, cut off from the rest of the world, and one of the natives there saw him and said, ‘Oh! Scotty’s father!’ And when Peter told me that, he pointed out that the guy didn’t say, ‘Oh, it’s Lee Baldwin!’ It was, ‘Oh, Scotty’s father!’ Peter got a kick out of that, and I have never been able to top that story. Now, I’m just waiting for the day when I’m in some far off place and someone comes up to me and goes, ‘Oh! Franco’s father!’
