Here is a recap and Q&A from Steve's Indianapolis March 1st event! Thanks to Shannon, Mona, Sue, and Kris for putting this together for us and providing the pics!

Part 1


He read his disclaimer, saying that Jason is brain damaged not Steve! He also said any jokes he makes reflects the character, not the actor! Steve was given flowers by some of the Liason fans. He told them to settle down and that they were scaring him. This if course made him go into the Liz speech. Here is part of it…

"Uh, first of all…Jason and Liz...hold on….I'm tired of getting the shaft about me leaving her…she left me! That's number one (cheering)…be quiet gaga! She slept with Zander in a tomb!!!! Just hold up…SHUT UP, SHUT UP!! I'll treat you like the *beep* that you are!" (Yeah, he did say "beep", we're not bleeping it out)

All those "SHUT UPS" were directed at Liason fans, in jest of course! He goes on to make fun of Zander! The he says how it is great to be back and starts in on how everyone has a sister now…

"I come back and everybody has a new brother and sister! (Laughter) Courtney is Sonny's sister (cheering). And we all love Sonny, don't we?" (Lots of cheering)

This leads him into his Maurice impression! Then he starts to make fun of Alexis/Kristina and that whole storyline! Cameran too! He then makes fun of Michael and how he looks like Opie and should be the son of Danny Bonaducci. He then starts dogging Kelly's and how Hookers have always owned it! Someone pointed out that Courtney works there and this is what he had to say…

"Yes, I know that Courtney works there. Thanks for telling me, I didn't know where Courtney worked. (Cheering) And so does that little bitch Elizabeth. (Cheering) It's all fun and games…one wrong thing and the crowd turns on you!"


Then he makes fun of Nik and Lucky and how they hug a little too much! He doesn't want to me in that triangle! He then cracks a joke about NuLucky getting older with every recast! He says who's next in line John Ingle? He then says Maurice has so many love scenes and he asked why he had so many love scenes and Maurice replied because he is Latin! LOL! Steve then goes on about the candles in love scenes and wants to know who lights them! He then makes fun of the long stares in soaps! He also starts making fun of us saying as soon as we get home we will be spreading all of this over the net! That's why he has to read the disclaimer! He made fun of the mob on GH and said they need real guards like on the Sopranos and not ones from Chippendales! LOL


Part 2


Here are most of the questions that were asked at the event:


Q & A With Steve:


Girl: Since you and Courtney haven't really had a good sex scene and if I could be like a body double? (Laughter)


Steve: You would sacrifice yourself for me? I think Courtney will be just fine.

Audience member: Along that line, (laughter) when you do have this whole sex scene is it going to be like when it was with Carly and Jason?


Steve: You guys remember that crap? I don't know if it's going to be like that but it's going to be nice...(Then the Fabio comment).


Audience member: Do you know if Sarah Brown will ever come back as Carly?

Steve: No, Tamara has filled her shoes and made them her own. (Applause)

Audience member: Is it stressful working for GH and the second one is will you dance for me?


Steve: Dance for you! (Laughter) GH is a 9-5 job kind of, so the hard part is memorizing 20-30 pages a night so it's stressful a little, and the second one is no!

Audience member: Are you thinking of leaving GH?


Steve: Not at this moment, no, I'm gonna stay there for at least another year.

Audience member: How often do you ad lib your lines?


Steve: Not so often, but some of the stuff with Brenda, that wasn't really scripted, EVER. We'd add things like why don't you bake me some cookies (Laughter) stuff like that.


Audience member: What about Scott Baldwin?


Steve: Him and Jax have the same hair cut now! He adlibs everything, he has no idea what he's doing (laughter). When he says stuff to me, I can't say anything back because I kind of have to stay in character so I can't say anything back but he had a good one when he called me lurch (laughter) that was good, I'll give him that.

Audience member: You and Sonny have a fall out over his sister--


Steve: Yes that's right.


Audience member: He fired you--


Steve: He "Fires" me…has that happened yet?


Crowd: NO


Steve: How do you know then?! You're scaring me! (Laughter)


Audience member: But who finds out about what Ric did to Carly? You or Sonny or--

Steve: I dunno what Ric is doing to Carly, I don't watch the show! I don't like Ric do you?

Crowd: NO!!!


Steve: We all agreed on one thing today! (Cheers, applause)


Steve: Ric is doing something to get back at Sonny I dunno what it is you know what in the beginning he was supposed to be related to Lily, I don't know what they're doing now (crowd awes in disappointment) shut up!


(In regards to a comment that was made, I'm not sure what is was)


Just settle down, settle down I believe that they finally found something that could come between Sonny and Jason that has stakes instead of "you're disloyal cause you didn't kill AJ!" (Laughter)


Audience member: What do you like to do in your spare time?


Steve: I don't really have much spare time but what I have I spend with my wife.

Audience: Any kids?


Steve: Practicing. (Laughter)


Audience member: Why is it with Sonny, that he appears to forget some of his lines, are those dramatic pauses or--? (Laughter)


Steve: (making fun of Sonny) I'm Latin! Yeah, he does I mean we all do, it's Sonny Hospital it's been that way for a while now there's no hospital anymore! Like Port Charles with the vampires, I think I'd WANT to know if there were vampires running around!

Audience Member: How old were you when you did the playgirl shoot in 95? (Howls and yowls)


Steve: I dunno, uh…I was a…I'm 32 now; Jason is very slow with math, so is Steve obviously…I dunno what I would do if I wasn't acting, pumping gas probably and that's the truth.


Audience member: Are they ever gonna reveal who really killed Alcazar?


Steve: Geez, who cares anymore! Who cares who killed him anymore!


Audience member: If Brenda had stayed on the show, do you think you guys would've gotten together?


Steve: No, I feel that it would've ruined the relationship, they have a relationship that's fun, you know like the wedding. I hated that show that was real anger! (Laughter)

Audience member: How do you like acting with Becky on the show?


Steve: Very nice…(someone boos)…we're talking about Becky not Elizabeth…I got to work with her a lot, I get a lot of that 'oh you can control the story' but I can't; it's not up to me the way the story goes.


Mona: What are some of your favorite GH scenes?


Steve: Oh wow…that's good let's see…I like the ones with Robin on the bridge (people awe) and I like the scenes with Maurice coming up.


Mona: How much of the scenes make it to the screen and how much of it get cut?

Steve: Uh pretty much everything makes it, every scene we film makes it, unless when they put it up a scene is long then they have to cut some of it, usually what they'll do it cut a scene before the stuff goes up, like cut it down to 2 pages or something.

Audience member: I'm wondering are you excited about Emily returning?

Steve: Uh, yeah but it's not Amber! Recasts are weird to me; it's just tough to relate…yeah it would be cool to have another person on the canvas, I dunno who got the job still though.


Audience member: How far ahead do you film? Two weeks?


Steve: Yeah pretty much, about 10 days two weeks


Audience member: Is Carly's baby gonna be Sonny's or Ric's?


Steve: I dunno! (Laughter) Let's just say we hope it's Sonny's, PLEASE, people can't just have babies on the show, just have'em who cares?


Audience member: Does anyone ever visit the set?


Steve: No, no one ever really visits.


Mona: What do you honestly think of your character right now on the show with what's going on?


Steve: It's all good. (Cheers) I love it; everything is great, I'm pretty much staying in character at this point.


Shawn (manager I think, not honestly sure though): What do you think of your website?

Steve: You had to bring that up didn't you? Yeah I have a pretty crappy website.

Audience member: You've ridden a motorcycle on the show, do you have one?

Steve: No I don't, I have ridden motorcycles, Palm Springs, (cheers) yeah! I just think it's too dangerous in LA to tell you the truth.


Mona: We just wanted to ask you to tell Alicia we said happy birthday! (Cheers)

Steve: Yeah and Mo!


Mona: And Mo (More cheers).


Steve: Yes definitely.


Audience member: Do you have family here?


Steve: Yeah they're here, my dad, my uncle, my grandpa-


Audience member: When are you coming back here? [IN]


Steve: I dunno, next week? (Cheers) I dunno (applause).


Audience member: I was wondering what your reaction at super soap weekend to your fans.


Steve: I was very surprised, let's be realistic, when you come from the mid west and then come to act and then wind up on a show I mean what are the odds? And then come to super soap and find people killing themselves to be in line?

Audience member: I was wondering if "anger boy" was adlibbed or not.


Steve: You know I'm tired of them using MY material on myself (laughter), I came up with Anger boy and baldy couldn't think of something so he used my material.

Audience member: He's leaving the show?


Steve: No, he's actually still on the show.


Audience member: No he's not; he's leaving.


(Crazy laughter)


Steve: Are you telling me, I talk to the guy everyday and you're telling me what he's doing, that's enough! He's going off contract. He's not leaving but he's going off contract.


Audience member: What does that mean?


Steve: What that means is he was on contract for 2 years and they wanted to renew his contract, but he wants to go and audition for other things but they've still written Taggert in for the next 4 months, so he shows up for work and still gets paid.

Mona: When did you start doing these-(interruption)


Steve: When did I start doing these…She's getting angry right there, that's an angry girl! (Laughter)


Mona (trying to keep her cool, smiling): When did you start doing these shows and where do you do them, and what's the point exactly? (Laughter)


Steve: You paid money to get in here! That's the point, but no you know well I do a lot of appearances in stores, malls, and such and it just gets boring, I just think this is more fun, more interactive, and uh, you get paid! (Laughter)


Mona: Alright, how come other people from the cast don't do this? It seems like a great idea.


Steve: Well, it's about the vets you know the older people, to travel every weekend so…(you travel though, someone says)…this is close, it's 6 hours though to get to the east coast.


Mona: You know, we drove 10 and half hours to get here-


Steve: Holy Beep! Where are you from?


Mona: Philadelphia


Steve: Aw, damn I'm going to Pittsburgh next week!


Mona (about to die from shock): ARE YOU SERIOUS?! (Crazy loud laughter, while my head is in my hands applause).


Steve: No I'm only kidding but I will be there at the end of this month.


Mona: Oh ok (phew). :)


Then he read his little poem and photos followed and that was that!
