![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Seeing that tweet made me smile – and took me back to that hallway at NBC in 1998. Kristian (or someone managing her account) had shared my tweet, along with three emojis. I went to bed and the next morning I saw a notification on my phone. She was unbelievably beautiful, shook my hand and said ‘welcome’ - and I had to play it cool and resist telling her that I named my Cabbage Patch Doll ‘Hope’ after her.” “True story – I met Kristian Alfonso the first day I started interning at Days in 1998. When I saw Bo and Hope was trending, I did something I rarely do. She had no idea how excited I was, or what that moment meant to me.Įven though I worked and interacted with Kristian for six months, I never told her how much I had admired her character when I was growing up (or the Cabbage Patch connection). I smiled and said thank you, as if I was meeting someone I had no history with. This person I admired said one word to me – welcome – and 24 years later, I still remember how good that moment felt. Most people say “nice to meet you” but Kristian said “welcome.” Just the way she said “welcome” made me feel special. ![]() Kristian reached out her hand to shake mine, smiled, and said, “Welcome.” Her bouncy brown curls were now straight, but she was so glamorous – and even more beautiful in person. I was 20 years old – probably around the same age Kristian was when I first saw her on TV. “Hey Kristian,” the guy showing me around said casually. ![]()
