FCW!



:)

Met Bradford today! Good times!


Okay, I’m finally back in my hotel after spending the morning with B-ford and the rest of the day playing tourist in Hollywood.

You probably don’t care about the touristy stuff, so I’ll skip to the uber-goodness of my Bradford Anderson Experience (sounds like a band…).

(click here to read the rest of Lindsay's Adventure)



First of all, dude came in HYPER. He said good morning to us all in his own Bradfordy way and then informed us that he was going to switch the order of things, doing the pictures/autographs first and then the Q&A at the end. I think I get why he did this now, although at the time it seemed like no big deal. The Camera Ready crew was there filming, watching him go through his antics. Some fans gave him a Red Sox gift (or as JenniferLyn called it “the Non-Yankee team” LOL). He basically worshiped it. Another table busted out a t-shirt for him…it had an Emmy on the front and on the back some sort of message implying he was robbed. LOL he seemed highly amused.

After to going to only about three or four tables, he jumped back on the stage and told us we all had to stand up because he was going to teach us his “excited dance” (which basically means you do a jig and then shake your bum around like a spaz). The dance was in honor of the fact that a very special guest was there, his “Maxie”, Kirsten Storms. :) She came in all bouncy and there was much love for her in the room.



They decided to start the Q&A session right then. and what I’m going to tell you are the things that I thought were most important…

*Someone asked if there was pressure because of Jason Cook. Kirsten said there was no pressure at all, that he’s a great guy, and that she knew Bradford and Jason would hit it off. Bradford agreed with her and added that he wanted to poke fun at the guy but didn’t know him THAT well yet so he would hold off. Lmao…

*This inspired someone to ask if there would be a triangle. Kirsten sheepishly grinned and said “I would love that”, to which Bradford gave her the one two punch of puppy eyes and sad-face. She quickly explained that it would mean more men for her. People laughed, and Kirsten explained further that Maxie should end up with Spinelli. Girl was quite enthused.

*Someone asked if they thought TPTB were invested in Spinelli and Maxie, to which Bradford and Kirsten almost stumbled over each other in their responses. They both made a big deal about the fact that they were being promoted, Bradford even saying something about the fact that they were airing the promos on MTV and Style as if they were the hottest thing in Soaps. LOL you had to be there to understand how fun it was when he said that. Kirsten told everyone how just a few days ago she was watching television with her boyfriend and the Sex Promo came on with her unbuttoning her shirt and her boyfriend gave her a look. Hahahaaa…..Bradford jumped in the air all proud.



Also, and more important than anything else, was what Kirsten added about the show’s investment. She said that there were some ups and downs coming, but they aren’t anywhere close to being done with Spinelli and Maxie. There seems to be some hopeful plans around the end of summer that will give hope to the cause. In other words, get ready, there is drama coming, but there is a silver lining. I’m thinking that we need to keep her words in mind. Bradford added that people seem happy with their work together. He knows the viewers like them.

Ladies and Gents, after SEEING them together and hearing the way they spoke about Spixie…I really, really really really really want you to keep your faith. There is nothing these two said or did that made me feel as if they are over or even CLOSE. Trust me just this once...if you keep up your support, this story isn't going anywhere.


*The sex scene was discussed briefly…Bradford talked about how funny it was that he’d been shirtless so much. He said that sometimes he just wants to say “really? REALLY?” (as he rubbed his tummy LOL).


*Leyla was brought up. Someone said they liked the scenes at the wedding and asked how Bradford prepared for it. As soon as the words were out of her mouth Kirsten groaned. LOL Territorial much? Whatever, I like that. Teehee, lets me know where she stands. Bradford commented on how he was so shocked that the writers came up with that racist remark about Leyla and that he was glad to punch the guy.



*Someone asked if he came up the his Spinellisms…Bradford said NO, the writer’s are big dorks and like to prove that they’re smarter than each other by pulling random words from the dictionary and proving they can use them in sentences. Heheee…Spinelli’s dialogue seems to be the challenge amongst the writing staff.


*He was asked if he would ever like to put out a record. Kirsten said YES! Haha, he looked at her and said “Well, I guess that’s a yes!” He elaborated explaining that he didn’t write music but if someone wanted to do some sort of record with him he would. Someone else asked if he was going to sing at SSW and Kirsten again said “YES! And I’ll be your back up dancer!” and she proceeded to do his “excited dance” for everyone. Apparently he does this dance enough to be mimicked.

*Georgie was mentioned. Bradford said they celebrate Georgie. People clapped. Kirsten said it wasn’t that hard to find an emotional place to do scenes because she has a little sister like Maxie and could relate to the character pretty well. Bradford said he could film those scenes because Lindze really was leaving them in a way.

*Someone asked what happened to Popsicle the doggy. HAH! Kirsten said she has NO idea what happened to the dog but Spinelli should get Maxie a puppy. Bradford agreed and said they should open up an animal shelter right next door to the free clinic. LMAO. Spixie Shelter for Animals, coming this fall!


*Kirsten bragged and bragged about what a talented actor Bradford was.


*Someone asked what Mac would think of Spixie dating and Kirsten said that he would probably be pissed just like he always is because Spinelli is a criminal. Bradford added “criminal with a heart of gold” or something like that. Jeeeeez. Then he reminded Kirsten that Maxie is an accessory to murder so she is far worse than Spinelli at that point, although he does live with a hitman.

*Kirsten sounded excited about the upcoming stuff with Lulu, implying they would actually get a friendship out of the experience. How thrilling would that be? MaxieLu would be a force upon the world if you ask me, girl’s just gotta get through those barriers!

*Bradford has a potted plant/tree named Rosalita. <----That is hysterical. *People discussed his crazy good Aussie accent. A woman in the audience actually was Australian and said he did a good job and only messed up a little. LOL He got a call from Bob Guza months ago telling him to start watching Ingo, but didn’t explain why. Haha, so Bradford would just pass Ingo all the time at work and watch him, not knowing what he was looking for. *He was asked about Claudia and what it was like working with Sarah Brown. Bradford said “I stand back and let her go. She is a force!” Kirsten agreed, and it seems that Sarah Brown is pretty much considered to be a certified awesome person with her tenacity in scenes because she gives so much. When Kirsten and Bradford made the rounds to the tables, they couldn’t have been more sweet. I told Bradford that he could make my autograph out to “Ebay Buyer” and he looked at me and said “Haha…you’re good”. Yup, I’m awesome. LOL. Jenna told both of them to be on the lookout for something in the mailroom next Tuesday (I added “in honor of Tuesday”) and they lit up. Kirsten said “IS IT CONDOMS??? I laughed and replied “NO! But that is an EXCELLENT idea!” Also, Jenna from Oppostie Attraction reminded Bradford about the six month anniversary of the first Spixie scenes coming up at the end of the month.

Sidenote, My sister was really excited to me “Zenon”.

All and all, a good day. :)


By the way…I am most likely going to be on Camera Ready!!! LMAO!!! THEY INTERVIEWED ME! I was asked why I loved Bradford, why he was unique, and then I had to be all cheesy and say We (Jenna too) love you Bradford! *Puts on celebrity shades* PWNED.
