I finally got to go to my first fan event when Days came to Houston today. There were 10 cast members, Lamon Archey (Eli), Sal Stowers (Lani), Camila Banus (Gabi), Paul Telfer (Xander), Linsey Godfrey (Sarah), Lauren Koslow (Kate), Drake Hogestyn (John), Deidre Hall (Marlena), Melissa Reeves (Jennifer), and Matthew Ashford (Jack).
My mom and I got there at 10:30 in the morning and we didn’t get to the front of the line until 3. The cast also took a 10 minute break at 2. When we got the front of the line, the cast was so sweet and kind! Lamon asked us if it was our first time meeting anyone from the Days cast and I said yes. Linsey and Paul kept laughing with each other. They really are troopers for coming out to do this. The event was from 12-4, but they let people stay until 5. There must have been over 1000 Days fans there, and some people got cut off and still didn’t get to meet the cast.
I’ve posted pics on my Twitter, @hershey_bar22.
I also won a Days shirt for knowing what Alice’s maiden name was because they were having a trivia game to keep the crowd entertained while waiting in line.
Bruce Evans, who is the head of NBC programming was also there, which was interesting.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience about the DOOL event. I have always wanted to attend one of these events but always thought it wouldn’t be worth it because you stand in such a long line for just a short meet and greet. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the stars from the show in person when I lived in California and on my flights. I have met Patsy Pease (ex-Kimberly), John Clarke (ex-Mickey), Jason Cooke (ex-Shawn D), Paul Logan ((ex-Glen Reibert), Renee Jones (ex-Lexie), Drake Hogestyn (John), Deidre Hall (Marlena), Arianne Zucker (Nicole) and Shawn Christian (ex-Daniel). They were all wonderful and I sure enjoyed meeting them.
Bad mentions go to Stephen Nichols (Patch) who was a complete and utter jerk.

That's so cool! Sounds likea really fun day! I have gone to similar events before and they are always a long day but so great when you get to the end! I'm glad they were all nice, too. That always makes a big difference.
I think I did a Days event at Canada's Wonderland when I was in high school. I think Drake was there, maybe Austin Peck...I am struggling to remember now!
I also met Shawn Christian once when he was filming a movie in Toronto before he was even on Days. He was really nice too. Very friendly.
