Asked about the couple’s marked height difference, Nash explained that when casting via Zoom, “everybody’s the size of their head and shoulders in a box, so we had no idea! [Yasmine and Tori] got these roles because they were the actors who really sold the parts in their auditions, and then they showed up and we were like, ‘Oh my!‘”
Something I forgot to mention in my recap, they did show a trailer of NCIS Hawaii but it highlighted episodes that already aired. The kacy kiss from 1x01 was shown in it and the kacy hug from 1x17 was also in it.
Hey all here is a recap for those who couldn’t attend Paleyfest
NCIS Hawaii was the first show up, despite the description there was no sneak peeks, viewing of an episode or a Q and A with the cast. They did ask the cast a few questions and they asked 2 Kacy questions. The first being if they would reconcile where I couldn’t catch Yasmines answer first because I couldn’t really hear her answer at first and because I was trying to post on twitter while paying attention at the same time so I apologize for that. Also everyone was looking at Tori to answer the question and she was like don’t look at me which was kinda funny. The second kacy question was how they felt about representing the LGBTQ community and again didn’t really catch the answer because I was trying to post but they both did say they are glad to represent and Tori did say love is love. In all honesty the panel felt a little rushed and I felt most fans were there for NCIS LA. I personally did not stay for the other panels I was strictly there for Hawaii only. I don’t regret going at all because it was so great to see them in person. I did not record anything because there is a strict no recoding policy and I was in the front row I was not trying to get kicked out.
On to the best part though meeting Tori and Yas. Fellow kacy fan and I happened to catch Tori as she was coming back from the bathroom to go back to bowling. First off she is the fucking sweetest both her and Yas are. We told Tori we were at the panel and she was so happy and excited to see us and meet us as we were to meet her, we talked kacy (she loves the fandom and working with Yas) we talking about her work outside of NCIS Hawaii because what do you do when they are on hiatus, I told her I watched everything she was practically in when they go on hiatus. She had to get back to bowling but she thanked us for coming and took pictures with us and gave us hugs. I told her I was Yas height so that’s why she squatted a bit to get on my level when taking pictures she said she was used to it since she does it with Yas too.
As they were leaving bowling we got to meet Yas too since Tori told her about who we were. Again they talked to us about kacy, where we were from stopped again to take pictures and even signed our shirts. I talked to them both about being Yas height and joked that I was fun sized and they both laughed and said yes. As they were leaving they blew us kisses, thanked us for coming out and Yas told me to drive safe as I made my way back home since I had a 2 hour drive back home. I can still hear her voice in my ears telling me that. I’m still on a kacy high right now. In all Yas and Tori are such sweet, amazing, lovely people if you ever get the chance to meet them take it I promise you, you will not regret it.
Although the panel was okay I still had a great time especially at the end when meeting Yas and Tori.
When your an even bigger hot gay mess after meeting Tori Anderson and Yasmine Al-Bustami. Word of advice to those in the kacy fandom if you ever get the chance to see/meet them in person DO IT! You will NOT regret it. This was definitely a YOLO moment and I’m still riding the high that is kacy. Yas voice is still ringing in my ears telling me to drive home safe since I had a 2 hour drive back home.
