'Sheer, unadulterated excitement and joy'
Comic Con descended on Liverpool this weekend, with more than 13,000 people in attendance on the Saturday - and I was one of them.
For me, my desire to volunteer working an additional Saturday shift this month was all due to James Marsters' appearance. The actor and musician, now 60, has been a regular fixture in my life since he swaggered onto the Buffy the Vampire Slayer set back in the 90s, in the season two episode, 'School Hard'.
There was a real sense of joy and excitement, with the freezing temperatures and depressing drizzle doing nothing to dampen spirits. The Vampire Diaries and The Originals stars Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Arielle Kebbel, Nathaniel Buzolic, Sebastian Roche, and Riley Voelkel were in attendance, as well as Cobra Kai stars Xolo Maridueña, Mary Mouser, Tanner Buchanan, Hannah Kepple, Annalisa Cochrane, and Paul Walter Hauser.
My colleague described me as "fizzing with excitement"; my palms were sweaty, my heart was racing, and a tension headache from all the anticipation started to bloom at my temples. Would he agree to an interview? Would I even still have the ability to form words in his presence?
