Semi Angel: Hi Julian!

Julian: Hope you are all well, well, well...

KMJvet: Audra and Leah can't get in

Brenda: OMG - I can't believe you are here - I am so excited!!

Julian: Can't...or you won't let them in, Kathy?

KMJvet: I will try to paste them in, Semi can you paste his answers out to IM for me?

Semi Angel: Yes, I will try.

KMJvet: okay, let's start and see how that works, for now Semi just paste out to Audra because Leah got in

Julian: Leah just found the secret passage in...

Semi Angel: Okey, dokey

KMJvet: We'll use the ga system as usual

Leah: hello Julian and Kathy and all

Julian: The famous gagaga system!

KMJvet: Ruth, do you want to lead off....we'll go in the order people arrived

jzalter: It's Ruth from Florida, the 'pocket lint' thief! Thanks for being so accommodating! You're a jewel! Have you gotten an invitation to Super Soap Weekend yet?

Julian: Did the writing rub off the quarter??? No, I haven't heard anything about SSW...ga.

jzalter: No, the quarter is in great shape and protected now!

KMJvet: Brenda, ga

Brenda: Hi Julian - this is Brenda from New Jersey and Ruth just asked my question!

Julian: Hello Brenda....the pottery lady?!

Brenda: But I wanted to tell you how happy I was to hear your have allmy ceramics in your dressing room.

jzalter: Sorry ;-(

Brenda: yes that's me - the pottery lady

Julian: Of course!, Brenda! Did you know I went to school for a while at Rutgers?...ga

Valarie: sorry I'm late

Brenda: yes I did know that.

KMJvet: Val is going to log for us. Okay, I'm losing track...I think we're at Alicia

KMJvet: Alicia, ga

Semi Angel: Julian, I watched the Columbo movie again last night. What was it like working with Little Richard?

Julian: Hello Alicia... he was an absolute blast, a true character! And, the perk of the show was that he actually performed!..ga

jzalter: What fun! ;-)

Julian: Hello Dale...I'm glad you enjoyed the tour! The candy lasted in the Stone household about...FIVE minutes!

KMJvet: Valarie, ga

Valarie: When will we get to see you in a story about Jerry? Is anything upcoming?

Julian: Hi Valarie...I hope so! I think the character has so much potential and such a rich history to delve into...and I just hope there will be the opportunity to explore some of those elements.

Valarie: me too

KMJvet: Audra, ga

Audra: Hello Julian... Audra here! Sorry I was late, but I just came from a particularly grueling tennis match. That got me wondering if there are other sports you enjoy (playing or watching) besides Soccer and Cricket?

Julian: Actually, I'm a sports nut...I follow the Knicks, Giants, Seton Hall basketball...and I just got certified for scuba diving - something I'd promised myself for years since I first watched James Bond movies!!

KMJvet: Ruth, ga

jzalter: Julian, have you heard anything about what character A Martinez is going to be? And tell us, please, that this won't mean LESS time or any problems for you?

Julian: Ruth, this isn't just a "political" answer...but I really have no idea! I didn't even know who he was until someone asked a question at our FC event.

jzalter: Thanks, Julian, I trust you! ;-)

KMJvet: Brenda, ga

Brenda: Julian first I want to tell you I only live about an hour from Rutgers!! I know there wasn't much time before she left but what was it like working with Vanessa Marcil?

Julian: I enjoyed working with Vanessa ...she was very friendly to me and the three of us had fun in our scenes.

KMJvet: Alicia, ga

Semi Angel: I have seen you play rock stars on tv, do you play any musical instruments?

Julian: NO! I wish I did, because I love to listen to music, but the closest I ever got was playing the recorder at primary school!.

KMJvet: Dale, ga

Dale: What are the writers dreaming up for a new soryline for Jerry and Bobby. Sorry I am so slow typing this my dog is sitting up on my shoulder.

jzalter: I hope you have a chihuahua!

Dale: no .a toy poodle

Julian: Well, I hope he's comfortable!! Again, I really don't have any idea about the writers' plans... but obviously they are teasing the idea of wedding bells into the J/B scenes...who knows?

KMJvet: Leah, ga

Dale: THAT WOULD BE FUN

Leah: Seen any good movies lately? Or bad ones?

KMJvet: Julian, you still here?

jzalter: ;-)

Leah: Earth to Julian

Leah: That man always ignores me.....

Valarie: he's going through his video collection

Julian: We don't get to the movies as often as we'd like because of Mummy/Daddy duties...but I really enjoyed "October Sky" and went back and watched the original "Sunset Boulevard" again...what a great film!..ga

Valarie: (g)

KMJvet: valarie, ga

Valarie: I know mommy daddy duties - I have six - what would be your ideal story for Jerry Jacks?

Julian: Congrats to you, Valarie!...I would really be intrigued by a storyline that involved Bobbie and Luke, as I think there could be some exciting fraternal (and criminal!) tensions there (that I think we have already touched a little...).

KMJvet: Audra, ga

Audra: Julian, are there any television programs aside from GH or Blue's Clues :-) that you like to watch when you have time? (P.S. re-watched Dangerous Liasons last night, they should have cast you in the MOVIE...I don't love John Malkovitch!)

Julian: Thanks for the thought...The play was wonderful with Alan Rickman, though... I'm "obsessed" at the moment with the re-runs on A&E of Law and Order, which is such a well-written show...and when I can stay awake, I do enjoy Politically Incorrect.

KMJvet: ruth, ga

jzalter: Julian, speaking of Mummy/Daddy duties, how are Jessica and Molly? Does Molly still look like you?

Julian: They are an absolute delight to us! Molly has quickly taken to walking and talking...and now is fascinated by the concept of climbing...oops! Jessica is readying herself for "big' school in the Fall... I* don't know if she still looks like me , but she's a darling!

KMJvet: brenda, ga

Brenda: Do you know of any appearances you will be doing my way - here in Jersey or close by?

jzalter: Then she DOES resemble her daddy! (g)

Julian: Thanks Ruth...Brenda, I don't know of any at this stage...I do 'sneak' back to NJ occasionally because I have family there, but nothing public at the moment.

KMJvet: Alicia, ga

Semi Angel: What does Jessica think when people stop you for autographs or pictures?

Julian: I think she's rather amused by the interest, but i don't think she really grasps the concept of television celebrity...and that's good, from Daddy's point of view!!

KMJvet: val, ga

Valarie: Given a Bobbie/Luke/Jerry story - would you like to see Jerry as WSB? Or involving himself in the Faison story and helping Luke - ala the relationship Luke had with Robert Scorpio?

Julian: WSB?

Audra: WORLD SECURITY BUREAU!

Valarie: World Security Bureau - spies and things - major positive stories for GH in the 80's

Audra: (GH's version of the CIA)

Valarie: that gave them #1 ratings, obviously not written by Mr. Guza

jzalter: Felicia's first hubby, Frisco, is in the WSB.

Valarie: sorta like James Bond

Julian: Sorry..I'm foreign, remember?!! I would love to see Jerry inaction mode, but in a character-driven sense so that we could learn more about this man through the action...I hope that makes sense.

Valarie: very much so

Audra: Julian, honestly, you must have been exhausted/exhilarated after last weekend! Was the end of GH Fan weekend a letdown or a relief?

Julian: I do think that character and not plot is the essential draw for soap operas...that is what will make people watch a show for 35 years.Ok Valarie...Audra, I had a terrific time last weekend meeting everyone and was very pleased with our successful interaction with The Gabriel Project. It was tiring and a very intense weekend, so I was glad to take a deep breath on Tuesday...but I wouldn't have missed it!!! .

Audra: We're happy you were happy!

Julian: Thanks!

Semi Angel: I wouldn't have missed it either. :)

KMJvet: parting thoughts anyone and we'll wrap up

jzalter: Good night, Julian! Thanks for spending some of your precious time with us!

Leah: Thanks Julian for another great chat

Semi Angel: Thanks Julian. Loved Jerry Today!

Valarie: thank you - hope we see much more airtime for you in the near future

Leah: Thanks Kathy for hostessing it

Brenda: Good Night, Julian - Thanks!!

Audra: Thanks for chatting! Goodnight!

Leah: Thanks all for attending

Julian: Well, thankyou all for popping in tonight and for waving the "Jerry" flag out there!...Hope it's not too hot wherever you are...Talk to you soon...bye!

KMJvet: Night everyone, thanks for coming.....thanks Val for logging

Valarie: anytime

Audra: Thanks Val... sorry I missed you last week!

Valarie: I think I got it all

Valarie: me too!!!! I missed Julian too.....too busy by half

Audra: VERY VERY unlucky YOU!

Leah: Yes thanks Valarie

jzalter: Thanks, Kathy! It was worth it! He is such a doll!

Valarie: We'll be having Nancy at CC sometime this week or next

Audra: Why are we grammatically challenged, Val?!

Valarie: hope you can make it

KMJvet: if you want or I will if you don't have time

Semi Angel: Hey Brenda, you did a good job!

Valarie: nope, just a few arrows, that sort

KMJvet: yes, Brenda very good

Audra: LOL

Valarie: actually very well spelled (g)
