Watch the 'Youthful Daze' Musical Episode!

Jen Lilley sings "Look What I've Found" on the Youthful Daze musical episode.
Following in the footsteps of shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Grey’s Anatomy, Youthful Daze is going Broadway with a special musical episode. The cast, including Days of our Lives star and recent Indie Series Award nominee Jen Lilley, sing nine original songs by Golden Ticket Management, with genres spanning from musical theatre to rock to pop.

The story picks up after Drew Castle (James) has lost everything due to drug addiction. Now sober, he will stop at nothing to win back the love of his life, Tommy (Ethan Daniel Corbett), promising his devotion through song. Unbeknownst to Drew, Colin Morris (Mike C. Manning, Cloud 9) has plans to win Drew back. Natalie (Lilley) sings a show stopping number about finding strength within herself as her familial drama wages on.

"Musicals have always been something that I have had a lot of respect for," said series creator and star Bryan James. "I like to try new things and this felt like a huge challenge that I couldn't say no to."

The episode also features appearances from Brittany Underwood (One Life to Live), David Loren, Jessica Osgood, and Ash McNair.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Easton Schirra on 'Youthful Daze' and Getting Cast as a Bully

Easton Schirra
You might recognize actor Easton Schirra from his appearances in shows like General Hospital, iCarly or Zoey 101. He's currently starring as Oliver Cardin in Youthful Daze.

Serial Scoop spoke with Schirra to get his take on the character of Oliver. We also revisited his General Hospital bullying days. Read our exclusive interview below:

SERIAL SCOOP: I was looking at IMDb and, much to my surprise, I saw that you were in a couple of episodes of General Hospital as Tristan, who bullied poor Michael Corinthos.
EASTON SCHIRRA: My type is "prep school bully," it's really weird. [Laughs] I'm always playing the mean guy. And in real life I don't think that I'm mean. I'm actually pretty sensitive.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Brittany Underwood on Playing Bad, and a 'One Life to Live' Reunion on 'Youthful Daze'

Left: Brittany Underwood. Right: Sarah Hester, Mike C. Manning and Brittany Underwood.
Actress Brittany Underwood is well-known for a memorable six-year stint as Langston Wilde on daytime drama One Life to Live, as well as her role as Lauren Tate in primetime soap opera Hollywood Heights. She guest stars on ABC's The Goldbergs on Wednesday, October 22 as Jill Rubin.

Underwood has also joined the cast of another serialized drama, hit web series Youthful Daze, as Sheila Edmundson, a character bound to cause heaps of trouble for anyone who crosses her path.

Serial Scoop spoke with Underwood about her new character, the One Life to Live reunion taking place on the set of Youthful Daze (David Gregory and Nic Robuck will soon arrive on the canvas), how her Youthful Daze executive producer Bryan James is different than her former executive producers Frank Valentini and Jill Farren Phelps, and to find out if she too will be joining The Young and the Restless, as several of her former Hollywood Heights co-stars have. Read our exclusive interview below:

SERIAL SCOOP: It’s a One life to Live reunion on Youthful Daze.
BRITTANY UNDERWOOD: I know. I know. I was very excited about that. It’s so funny because Nic (Robuck, who played James on One Life to Live) was asking me what I was doing as he was seeing all of my tweets about Youthful Daze and he was curious, as a lot of my actor friends are.  I told Bryan James I have friends that are curious and it’s really exciting and how Nic Robuck from One Life to Live was asking me about it.  A few days later Bryan came back and asked, "What if we had Nic on the show? He could be this…" I was like oh my god, that’s so amazing, and that would be so much fun. I love Nic and getting to act with him. It's really fun.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Jade Harlow on 'Youthful Daze,' Jen Lilley and 'Lush'

Jade Harlow.
Actress Jade Harlow first came to our attention in 2000 when she played Jessica Bennett on the delightfully campy NBC daytime soap opera Passions. The past few years she has starred in the Emmy-nominated web series The Bay as the troubled young Lianna Ramos. In January 2014, she debuted as Sheryl Connors on Days of our Lives, and quickly became a fan favorite. Viewers were dealt a blow when her good-natured character was written off the show after four months, ending Sheryl's popular romance with Bryan Dattilo's Lucas Horton (affectionately dubbed "Lush" by fans). Harlow recently joined the cast of another soapy drama, Youthful Daze, for its third season, which premieres August 31. She will play Monica Reynolds, and share scenes with former Days castmate Jen Lilley.

Serial Scoop caught up with the vivacious actress to discuss "Lush" and her departure from Days, the awkward first encounter with Jen Lilley which led to a great friendship, and her brand new role on Youthful Daze. What can we expect from Monica Reynolds? Read on to find out!

SERIAL SCOOP: When you were cast as Sheryl on Days, were you aware it was intended to be a short-term role?

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Mike C. Manning on His 'Youthful Daze' Character and Producing 'Kidnapped for Christ'

Photo Credit: Brian To/WENN
"People fall in love all the time and sometimes those people happen to be two girls or two guys. That’s it. Deal with it."

Mike C.Manning doesn’t mince words. He is passionate in his beliefs and that’s one of the reasons why he is making a difference in the world. He also has a great sense of humor as you will find out. In a new interview with Serial Scoop, Manning talks about playing the role of Colin on teen soap Youthful Daze, his personal reasons for becoming involved with the award-winning documentary Kidnapped for Christ, and his motivation for staying in such great shape.

SERIAL SCOOP: Hi Mike, I am a big fan of your work. In a short time, you have done so many different projects. How did you become involved with Youthful Daze?
MIKE C.MANNING: First off, thank you. One of the producers, Paul Vandervort, who also plays Brad, is a good friend of mine. One day we were surfing and he said, “I might start working on a web series that I think you’d be interested in. Want me to send it your way?” I watched the first season and saw potential for expansion in Season 2.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Sarah Hester on 'Youthful Daze' and the Joy of Playing Bitchy Becca Malone

Sarah Hester stars in Youthful Daze.
Sarah Hester is fabulously entertaining as Becca Malone in teen soap opera Youthful Daze. Becca is the bitch you love to hate. She may flash a smile and ooze sincerity, but is simultaneously plotting behind someone's back. Moments of vulnerability are starting to appear when viewers are least expecting it, and Hester is brilliant at portraying these new facets of Becca's personality.

Serial Scoop recently had the opportunity to speak with Hester about her bitchy character, the joy of playing against type, and the hilarious sex scene she filmed with Mike C.Manning.  Read our exclusive interview below, which includes some exciting spoilers you won't find anywhere else!

SERIAL SCOOP: Sarah, you are absolutely hysterical as Becca. How did you become involved with Youthful Daze?
SARAH HESTER: Bryan James (who plays Drew, and is also the creator of the show) and I went to school together in Bakersfield at Stockdale High. We were in drama class together and fortunately, for me, we’ve stayed in touch.  He asked me to be a part of the show. I was honored and proud of him.
