Behind the Scenes at PASSIONS Fan Event 2003
10:50 CLIPS REEL
Fans were treated to a montage of this year's most Passionate moments, hysterical bloopers, exciting coming attractions and a heartbreaking tribute to Josh Ryan Evans (ex-Timmy). Quite a few cast members needed a minute to pull themselves together before the signing began. "It was nice to again remind everybody of Josh," said a teary Korman. "But it was very difficult. My heart goes out to Juliet (Mills, Tabitha)."
11:00 AUTOGRAPH SIGNINGS
Fans flocked to the lines to get their autographs, chat and snap pictures with the cast. At past fan events, show publicist Eva Demirjian has had to be quite strict to keep the lines in order, repeating directions and rules throughout the signings. But a new system of roped-off, zig-zagging lines kept things much calmer -- and also served as a warm-up for the long waits ahead for fans taking advantage of the free entrance to Universal Studios Hollywood.
12:30 p.m. LUNCH IS SERVED
Cast members joined fans for a buffet lunch. The pasta was yummy, but the beautiful desserts were to die for.
1:30 The auction winners were announced and goodbyes were made: It was time to go to on some rides or go home!
