Soaps.com realizes that fans put a lot of extra time and effort into loving their favorite soap stars. They are passionate, loyal and giving and deserve to be noticed for this, so Soaps.com Editors asked a few soap stars, "What's the nicest item you've received from a fan?" The soap stars all sounded as though they felt blessed to have their fans, even without gifts, but you can sense how a smile came across each and every one of our soap stars faces as they answered the question.

Big Brother Alumni, Will Kirby, made a guest appearance on Y&R a few months back. Amy Mistretta (Y&R and OLTL Editor) had a chance to chat with him and asked, "Will, what's the nicest item you've received from a fan?" Will told Amy, "I receive a lot of cool clothes, mostly Chill- Town t-shirts." The appreciation for his fans clearly heard in his voice.

Amy Mistretta recently spoke with Adrienne Frantz (Amber Moore, Y&R) Amy asked Adrienne, "What's the most remarkable thing you’ve ever received from a fan?" Adrienne told Amy, "Any homemade artwork. I really appreciate the hard work and care they've put into it. It's really cool."

When Rick Springfield (Dr. Noah Drake, GH) told Julie Clark Robinson (GH and B&B Editor) “I get some pretty cool stuff from Japan.” The coolest, however, came from an American girl. She made a paper mache model of his dogs – a pit bull mix, the B&W bull terrier (from one of his album covers), and a pug! "Very creative," he says with pride!




Jason Gerhardt (Cooper Barrett) recently spoke with Julie Clark Robinson, who asked him what the nicest item was that he received from a fan and Jason's humor shone as he said, "As of right now, an incredibly, and creatively, decorated envelope. Wait, does chocolate chip banana bread from Mom count?!"

Misti Sandefur (ex-Editor ATWT) asked Terri Columbino what she thought was the nicest item she had received from a fan. Terri says, "I get so many nice things, but I think what sticks out the most is when I was pregnant with Julia, and so many people at the fan club luncheon brought me gifts that were knitted. One woman had knitted a beautiful sweater and hat for her. I mean, really beautiful, well thought out, and time consuming gifts that really mean a lot."

We think it's really sweet that fans care enough to be so giving. Have you ever given a soap star a gift? If so, care to share with us what it was, who you gave it to, and their reaction?
