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.

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.

Jessica Osgood is a powerhouse portraying the role of Mallorie Watson in teen soap opera Youthful Daze. Mallorie is fiercely loyal to those she cares about, and not a person you want to cross.   Serial Scoop recently had the chance to speak to Osgood about her fascinating character, what it's like to work with her on-screen love interest Ash Nair (Sean), and why we should all be watching Youthful Daze.  Read our exclusive interview below:

SERIAL SCOOP: Hi Jessica. You are great as Mallorie. How would you describe her to someone who wasn't familiar with the character?
JESSICA OSGOOD: Mallorie can be emotionally damaging to those she hates and fiercely loyal to those she loves. She has the innate ability to know exactly what to say to someone to either break them apart or build them up. She’s still forming her identity so she often acts on pure emotion rather than rationalization, but I think that’s how she’s able to keep true to herself…logical or not.

It's a new school year at Westfield Prep, and when Tommy Dinato (Ethan Daniel Corbett) comes back to town, it's clear that he has a past with Drew Castle (Bryan James).
