Smith is having a meet and greet and giving back a guaranteed fun time to his many fans. "I'm taking this step by step to see how it goes, but my fans have given me so much that I want to do something in return," Smith said. "This is an afternoon to get up close, share stories, mingle, and get together."

Smith said there will be pictures, autographs, a Q&A session, and he is bringing some surprise gifts for the fans. "Oh I'm not telling (laughing). I know they will enjoy them," he added. "There will be raffles, lunch, and someone will get a chance to have a one on one breakfast with me."

Imagine being lucky enough to star in a movie that is being shot in your hometown? When Jen Lilley (Theresa) of Days of our Lives found out that a film was being shot in Roanoke, Virginia, she was like "sign me up!"

"When the breakdown came out, my manager called me to ask if I had any interest in doing the project," Lilley shared with Soapdom. "I told them to send me the script, which I loved. And because this film benefit's a charity I personally know and care about, and it just happened to shoot on my week off from Days. I had my manager call the producers and make the deal."
