I could be wrong and there could be a thousand different reasons for it, but I sensed she didn't want to be there.  

And you guys can flame me, but unless someone there can dis-spell this notion I don't think her and Nathan get along that well.  I watched a lot of clips from this on youtube and she really seems cold to everyone except TJ.   I understand NF can take a lot of the spot light from anyone, but the vibe was really weird.  Once again maybe someone that was there can tell me I am way off.

I think SK will get bored very soon with all this; answering the same questions about her character and Castle, about how cool it is to work with NF, etc.  I just hope she doesn't pull a Heigl on us.

The above being said I am glad to hear she is great with the fans, because really without us watching and buying the DVD's, they have nothing.

 

 

From a lot of behind the scene clips that I've seen, Nathan and Stana get along great. I think she just doesn't feel comfortable talking about herself next to all of the others and would rather let the spotlight shine on them. She and Nathan also work very long hours and being the main characters that are in almost every scene can be hard work (lots of lines to remember even if she does read some of them from time-to-time and long hours of walking around and staying in character). I know that on the season 1 dvd she gave other cast members credit for their hard work and was very kind in what she said about some of the guest cast members. I think that it is just like some others have pointed out; Stana just likes being kind to the fans in a one-on-one connection, rather than in a group. I also think from her post on Facebook and Twitter that she is very into the show and enjoying her work. Some people just don't like to talk about themselves in a group to make themselves stand out. Nathan does and he is very good at it, but that doesn't mean Stana needs to be directly compared to that because we all have our own unique personalities. They all seem awesome to me for their willingness to participate last night and put themselves out there for the fans on Facebook, Twitter and other media sites where they have direct connection with the fans. There are celebs who shy away from that kind of contact and avoid it at all cost. There are also celebs who don't like to sign autographs for fans and these guys seem to be nice about it. Not a bad group of talented people if you ask me and that includes Stana.

Okay, Stana's video was so nice, she's just a genuinely lovely person   You can really feel her exhaustion, but it's still so great that she really conveys her appreciation of the fans and values the fan feedback.  Speaking as one of those fans who arrived at 7am, I can say it was truly a blast to be there all day, spending time with friends who love the show, and just anticipating this whole event with the cast, and then watching them get the recognition they deserve from the fans, as a cast & crew unit.

I have lots more to say about the event last night, and some pretty nice pics, I'm just sorting through them and composing my thoughts and hopefully I'll get it posted tonight.  I'm a just a little drained after having been awake for about 23 hrs yesterday.
