Just a thought, not having been to one of these occasions, when you speak to the cast do you address them by their real name or their character name, and how do the cast respond

Real name out of politeness. They may be there for the show or whatever but they are not there is character. There are usually 2 types of cast there. The ones who are there through the orders of the producers and those who want to be there. Emmerdull has always been lucky in getting good numbers of the latter and most respond very well as long as the public are wearing their sensible heads. Some new cast are shocked at how Emmy fans are used to getting close but end up loving it. At my first 'do' I was in the fan-club tent with Wolfy and a few others who were queuing for autographs whilst I was taking pictures. One of the team mentioned to Mark Charnock that we had all met on Usenet and that the bloke taking pics was Bill who runs Emmerdale.Net. Well imagine our 9especially my) surprise when he got up from the table came round and shook my hand, gave me a hug and said summat like "So you are Bill of Emmerdale Net!"
We had a chat later and have had a laugh everytime I have seen him since.
Anyway, there are plenty more stories like this that I and plenty of other here can relate given the time. It may even be worth a thread or board of it's own.
