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.

Born in Roanoke, Virginia, Jen Lilley didn't start acting until attending the University of Virginia when she played the lead in an indie film called The Loss of Life. After that, she fell in love with acting and averaged six indie films a semester. In addition to acting, she is also a talented singer, dancer and comedian, performing in many improv casts, including the Upright Citizens Brigade.

Her many film and television credits include the critically acclaimed feature film The Artist, Disaster Date, Castle, Two and a Half Men, Rules of Engagement, Criminal Minds and iCarly. From 2011-12 she starred as Maxie Jones on ABC's General Hospital.

Lilley currently stars as mischievous bad girl Theresa Donovan on NBC's Days of our Lives, and will soon be seen as Natalie Cardin in Youthful Daze.

Serial Scoop recently caught up with Lilley to discuss her soap roles, and to find out more about her Youthful Daze character. Read our exclusive interview below:

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?

'Youthful Daze' Star Jonathan Lipnicki Releases New Video: 'You Used To Be Cute'

Jonathan Lipnicki will be a series regular on Youthful Daze as Tyler Dean for the show's upcoming third season. He will play a mysterious drifter who takes a liking to Natalie Cardin (Jen Lilley, Days of our Lives). Lipnicki is known for several iconic roles as a child, including Ray Boyd in the Oscar nominated Jerry Maguire, as well as George Little in Stuart Little.

In his new video, You Used To Be Cute, Lipnicki pokes fun at "former child actor" stereotypes. When he auditions for a new role, the casting team confuses him with other former child stars and believe he is a recovering drug addict. The poor guy!

Check out the hilarious video below:
