APPLEGATE PART TWO - The One Where The Stars Aligned
Where was I? Oh yes, we'd had The Stare. So yes, we had pretty much the usual questions from the interviewer & they played a couple of the trailers & that was sweet as they all watched them smiling. I've said it elsewhere but this is the most relaxed I've seen them in an interview & it was just great, their rapport with each other & with the audience was fab. Although at one point, either Madame or Anne, can't remember which, did ask me "Are you actually hearing any of this?" to which my response was I haven't a clue what's been said the whole interview. Not because I couldn't hear but because that would have been a multi-task too far 
So hurry up podcast.
So the interviewer finished & then said they'd take a few questions from the audience. First person asked what the most embarrassing thing to happen to them on set was (Luca's cling to a horse by its neck). Then someone asked how they got to where they are today & if they could give any advice. Then there was me. Now I had dithered between my bright pink blouse & a cream top yesterday & I maintain that that freaking blouse got me picked cos the audience was in pretty low light so I must have been easily spotted. So she said "lady in the pink blouse" & as the microphone was being passed along I think I clutched Madame & said shit I've got to actually do this 
So I said "Hello Musketeers, hello Maimie. My question is, can you name one thing you'd like to happen to your character in S3." And then, as a complete afterthought & just as they'd kind of drawn breath to speak, out of nowhere I kind of turned to Santi & added "And Santiago, feel free to answer in Spanish."
FUCKING HELL. Anne said afterwards it was my inner wench just taking over. I think they laughed & he replied IN SPANISH but I can't remember again what he said - had to get Madame to translate! And then he carried on in English & we went along the line & all got a bit jokey as H said he wanted Porthos to have a baby & it was suggested it would be Milady's etc etc.
Moving on. After one more question the interviewer wound it up, thanked them, everyone clapped & they got up to go. And then the people on the front row leaned over & started asking them to sign stuff. We realised then we had all forgotten to take stuff for them to sign but some basic primal instinct took over then & i said to Madame, move to the end of our row as if we're leaving. He's coming down that way back to their ante-room. So we edged along, past the people still sitting there, there were about 4 or 6 of them & it was noooooooooo cos when we got to the end Apple Man wouldn't let us out into the aisle but I just hissed to Madame we're staying here, we're staying here, he is RIGHT THERE & we can grab him. So it was really awks as we had to stand there & wait for him to finish signing something, but we were actually in the footspace of the people still sitting in those seats. So we had their space AND their view & i couldn't look at them as I thought they would say something. But they didn't. The whole time we were "We are doing this for Team Aramis Wench" So he took one step towards us & we all bundled out into the aisle past Apple Man asking for a pic & he said yes but we'd already asked Apple Man if he'd take one & he said he wasn't allowed so we said to Santi it's got to be a selfie which was fucking good planning as obvs you all have to get in pretty close for a selfie. And then this is where the curse of the Wench Tech Skills struck again LOL as we couldn't get the pic!!!! I know, I can't believe it either, wenches are usually so on it with this sort of thing. So, was it Anne or Madame, started off trying to take the selfie with the camera facing the crowd rather than on selfie mode SNORT, then it just wouldn't take so Santi said "Shall I take it?" & took the phone Now he may well have been FFSing inside at that point but to his credit, it didn't show So he took the phone & this is when I spent a while in his armpit as he was holding the phone up high in that hand. So I was FUCKING HELLing big time inside. Then HE couldn't do it either so asked Apple Man. I said to Santi "He refused when we asked him" & he replied "Ah but he'll do it if I ask!" In hindsight what I should have said then was "That's because you do as you're told when a Musketeer tells you to do something" but then I suppose if I'd said that I'd have looked gormless in that pic as I'd have been mid-speak. So he took a couple of shots & we were done. Now all this fuckwittery obvs took a little while so we were there posing with him while behind the barriers the fenches were all calling him to sign stuff & for pics so they must have been seething at us. GO TEAM A.
So he signed one last thing I think, then was first off into the little side room & I hissed at the others to not move so when H, L & M came past we said thank you & goodbye & Anne somehow managed to step right INTO Howie's path while trying to move out of his way LOL.
And then we thought that was it. But it wasn't The End but more of that LATERZZZZZZ.
