'Days' Tour May Return to Atlanta

The recent turnout in Suwanee for the "Days Of Our Lives" cast appearance has tour organizers thinking of a return trip to the Atlanta area.

A tour publist said this week that the turnout of 2,000 or so in March still is the strongest on the nationwide tour, which included stops in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. New Orleans, the stop following Suwanee, had about 1,000 fans come to see several cast members.

Filizzola remarked that the Suwanee turnout reminded the cast of how strong the show's fan base in Atlanta is, so a return is being considered.

Fans from as far away as North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama began lining up at Suwanee's City Hall in midafternoon March 21. Two lines -- one for book purchases, one strictly for signings by cast members -- stretched into the rear parking lot as the event began at 6 p.m. The cast members stayed past 10 p.m. to try to accommodate all the fans.

Tour organizers also set up a special email address for fans who were unable to get their books signed at the event: Daysbooks@itgirlpublicrelations.com.

The Suwanee event was in conjunction with the publication of "Days Of Our Lives 45 Years: A Celebration In Photos." The soap opera is the longest-running scriped show in NBC history.

Cast members appearing included Peachtree Corners resident and 2009 Norcross High graduate .
