Fan Frenzy

Y&R's 2003 Fan Club Luncheon

Lauren Woodland (Brittany) was asked if that is really her voice heard during Brittany's song-and-dance strip numbers on the show. "Yes," she smiled. "I've sung all my life, and I hope to make more recordings and maybe put together a CD, but I don't have anything right now."

Fans wanted to know if Asia Ray Smith (Sierra) had any influence over stories because her real-life dad is Co-Executive producer/Co-Head Writer Jack Smith. "No," she assured. "I don't advise him on any stuff like that. I have no inside influence on stories."

When asked if he would have any more shirtless scenes like the Newman Fourth of July barbecue, Hutzler eagerly replied, "I don't have an answer for that. I'd like to get naked more often if I could. I like clothing-optional scenes."

Fans were tickled when Elizabeth Harrower (ex-Charlotte) turned up. When asked what her most memorable Y&R moment was, she responded, "At the end of my first day of taping, I got a standing ovation from the cast and crew. There is nothing more exciting than having your peer group give you a hand."

John Enos (Bobby) joked that the best thing a woman could do to win his heart would be: "To pick up my bar tab."

Scott was caught on her cell phone with her daughter when her question came up. After asking her to hold on, much to the amusement of the crowd, Melody noted that some of the favorite actors she's worked with in her film career included Walter Matthau, Geraldine Page and Clint Eastwood. "They changed my life," she praised.

As the gang readied for the upcoming autograph portion of the day, Cooper was honored for her 30 years with Y&R with a standing ovation from fans and co-stars. Visibly moved, Cooper told the crowd, "Some of you have been watching my career for 51 years. The newer ones of you, I've been in your face for 30 years. I have never been so proud, and I mean that with all my heart. I love you all."
