What was it like filming with the OG stars?
“It was really, really special.”
Sofia Wylie, who plays Gina, says that her favorite days on set were with the returning stars.
“And we were all looking at each other like, ‘What did he just say?
He’s a fan of us?!’
The young actors will always remember the advice Reed gave to them on set.
I hope I can take a lot of her advice with me for the rest of my career.”
“To share a screen with her is just a dream come true and I’m so grateful.
And Renee loved getting to carry on Coleman’s legacy on the show.
Frankie Rodriguez, who plays Carlos, says filming with all the OGHSMstars was a “surreal” experience.
“And to see the way that they’ve embraced the show, it’s just really nice.”
Federle was especially moved to see how the original film stars got emotional while on set filming this season.
“It was so meaningful.
They’re still talking to the crew and they’re still waiting in line for lunch.'
Because life is too short for divas.
We don’t have any divas on set, we just have theater kids.”
How have the characters changed?
Lester was especially excited to see that Ryan was finally confirmed to be gay.
“I’m a huge cheerleader of Ryan having a boyfriend,” she says.
“Everybody’s been like, ‘Someone needs to confirm that he’s always been queer.’
And it’s so cool that our show gets to do that.
Could a real version of HSM4 happen?
Federle isn’t counting it out!
While this is the final season ofHSMTMTS, he still envisions a future for this universe beyond the series.
“You heard it here first!
Maybe they just stay there.
Fate will tell me.”
