  1. Bethany Joy Lenz of One Tree Hill

    Bethany Joy Lenz of One Tree Hill

    This week, Tommy is joined by actress Bethany Joy Lenz who became a household name by playing the beloved role of Haley James Scott in One Tree Hill. Joy and her co-star James Lafferty became cemented in pop culture as one of the most popular television couples ever. Her new memoir, “Dinner for Vampires,” is out now and chronicles her spending a decade in a cult, and her quest to break free. Publicly, she was the “it” girl that people adored from One Tree Hill, rising to the height of international fame. But privately, she felt like she was falling deeper and deeper into a cult that she couldn’t break free from…until one day she had enough. Today, Joy opens up about how she went from going to a weekly bible study to being fully immersed in a cult, the red flags about this group that she now realizes she ignored, the first moment she really began feeling being isolated from her friend and family, joining Once Tree Hill and juggling her work life with the cult, what makes her smile when she thinks back on her fan-favorite role on the series, that iconic kissing in the rain scene, why she wishes she could go back in time and give co-star Sophia Bush a really big hug, the latest on a potential reboot, why thinking about the kindness from her cast after going through a difficult time makes her emotional, the moment she realized the cult took over $2 million from her, how she was able to most past feeling self-loathing to start forgiving herself, what she wants to say to her parents for the first time and so much more.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    This week, Tommy is joined Alice Oseman and Patrick Walters, the creative forces behind the smash-hit Netflix series, Heartstopper.

Patrick joins Alice as an Executive Producer on Heartstopper (starring Kit Connor and Joe Locke) and works at See-Saw Films which is an Academy Award, Emmy and BAFTA winning television and film production house. Today, Alice and Patrick open up about what keeps them wanting to continue telling this fan-favorite story, how they were both surprised with how mainstream the series became, if Alice always hoped her webcomic would turn into a television series, why Kit and Joe were the only choices to play the roles of Nick and Charlie, the powerful moment from filming season one that made them realize they made the right decision in their casting, something that may surprise you about Kit and Joe, the scene from the comics that was adapted into the series that they are the most proud of, welcoming Jonathan Bailey to Season 3, if a potential Season 4 may be the last, how they protect their mental health in such a fast-paced job, an emotional response to what they've never said before, and so much more.

    Lindsey Morgan of Walker/The 100

    This week, Tommy is joined by actress Lindsey Morgan who shot into international superstardom by playing the beloved role of Raven Reyes in the post-apocalyptic smash-hit television series, The 100, which ran for an incredible 7 seasons. The internet crowns The 100 as one of “the greatest TV shows of all time,” and for good reason. While she has played many impressive roles in films and television, another fan-favorite role you may recognize Lindsey from is the CW hit series, Walker, which she starred in opposite Jared Padalecki. Today, Lindsey opens up about what it was like jumping from one of the most successful soap operas to a primetime television series, navigating through the exploding world of social media when The 100 started airing, if she thinks about her time playing Raven often, what she loved about her time on the show, if she would reprise her character again in a reboot or spin-off, how you can’t go through life always seeking the approval of others, the importance of putting your mental health first even if it means making an incredibly difficult decision, how she got to a point in her life where she really wanted to be seen, and reveals for the very first time why she left her starring role in Walker after the second season.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The show consistently sits at #1 on the Netflix charts and for good reason. Today, Lucas opens up about what makes Season 4 the most special to him, why he’s never felt closer to Lily Collins after filming this season, why he will forever be grateful to her, how the chemistry has grown from season one to now, if he thinks Emily and Gabriel are meant to be endgame, why he has always rooted for their relationship to thrive, learning to become comfortable with the sudden visibility the show’s success brought him, how his passion for acting also became his therapy, managing the imposter syndrome that still creeps in from time to time, and the one thing that always helps him refuel his soul.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
