Thousands turn out Monday in Suwanee to see the longtime TV show's cast members.

Some have said that events at City Hall in Suwanee are like a soap opera. Monday, they were right.

The event, coordinated through the Gwinnett County Public Library, was in conjunction with the show's 45th anniversary and a book to commemorate that date. The cast members present included one of Gwinnett's own, Norcross High grad Chandler Massey, who plays Will Horton.  Among those attending were Massey's parents, Lewis and Amy, his brother and sister, and his grandparents.
