Oh, thanks. I'll take that. Really cool.

Jessica Stroup

I'm doing good. Thank you.

Young Hollywood

Got your name right?

Jessica Stroup

You got it.

Young Hollywood

What do you, what do you usually people? Most Stroup.

Jessica Stroup

Usually people say Stroup, that's not correct. Think Trout. Think Trout.

Young Hollywood

Here with Matt Lanter. You looking very spiffy.

Matt Lanter

Thank you. Thank you.

Young Hollywood

So Denise, okay, first of all, 100th anniversary, our 100th episode party. And you were asked to guest on the show. How did it sort of come about?

Denise

100th episode. Uh, I I got a phone call and asked.

Young Hollywood

Is it great when you just get a phone call?

Denise

It is great cuz I don't always get that phone call. I have to go in and read for them.

Young Hollywood

You still have to do that?

Denise

Yeah, with some stuff I do.

Young Hollywood

Okay. So congratulations, 100th episode. You've been here from the beginning. You guys just had cupcakes. So which one of your cast members is most likely to start a cupcake fight?

Shenae Grimes

Yes. Start a cupcake fight? I think that would go to me.

Young Hollywood

Oh, really? Oh, I asked the right person.

Shenae Grimes

Definitely AnnaLynne. She, she self-proclaimed. She is. She she's tried that before, numerous times I think. So I'm pretty sure she'd do it again.

Matt Lanter

Maybe maybe AnnaLynne, maybe Tristan. Um,

Young Hollywood

Not you, of course.

Matt Lanter

No, I'm like I'm, yeah. You you'd said it, I look spiffy. You don't start cupcake wars on a spiffy day.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, you don't mess

Michael Steger

Person to start the cupcake war, Matt. Um, because he'll probably do it, uh, without anybody knowing it was him, but I would know because I I know him like that. And uh, I would follow soon after and then Tristan's always game.

Tristan Wilds

It was about to go down. It was about to go down. It was me and Steger, we were about to start it up and uh, but we decided not to, you know, it's a lot of stuff to clean up.

Young Hollywood

Really? You yeah, they they would make you clean it up afterwards, right?

Tristan Wilds

Yeah. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

I saw your Twitter. You tweeted, this is the most gorgeous cast, really? Right. Everyone looks like freaking Barbie dolls on this. This show when it launched was so hugely publicized. They were all thrown into everything, you know, overnight and I think that they've all handled it so gracefully, being so young and you can tell they're like a close knit family. So tell us a little bit about the drama or whatever you're going to be bringing to to this episode.

Denise

My character is the president of a very elite ladies club that Naomi is trying to get into. So, it's very special. And Naomi wants to be special with us.

Young Hollywood

What is Naomi going to be doing this, how much butt kicking is she doing this season? What can you tease?

Shenae Grimes

I have some lovely butt kicking this year. The they've really tapped into how much I enjoy doing stunts and this year they've really let it rip. I'm obsessed with Star Wars and I think somehow in in life, I'm obsessed with Star Wars. Somehow along the way they they picked up on that and they've started to do things that it really are allowing me to just have so much fun this year, which is cool. I feel like this this season is there's definitely a lot. Some scenes are definitely gonna make you laugh like crazy. Some scenes you're gonna feel bad for a character, some scenes you're gonna hate a character.

Young Hollywood

Have you met any of the original cast members from the original show?

Michael Steger

Yes, I met uh, Priestley, Zuckerman, Jennie Garth.

Young Hollywood

Any favorite stories? Any favorite encounters with the original cast?

Michael Steger

Um, they've all told me stories.

Young Hollywood

Really? About their days shooting the show. Anything you can share? Are they all behind the scenes?

Michael Steger

Yes. I'm sworn to secrecy.

Young Hollywood

Oh, really?

Michael Steger

No, but they've all they're they're all generous with their stories and they're great about reminding us of how unique our jobs are and how not to take this for granted and shows fly by like you wouldn't believe and so they're very big about, you know, sharing that with us.

Shenae Grimes

Shannon was a dream. She, the first time I met her I was so excited and I was just like, "I'm sorry to bug you." I've been such a big fan and she was like, "Come here!" And gave me the biggest hug. She was such a sweetheart, but my favorite was Luke Perry. It was totally by accident. I was at a restaurant and it was tandem parking and I was asked to move my car. And I was like, "Okay," and I got up to move it and Luke Perry walked by to to get out in front of me.

Young Hollywood

Oh wow.

Shenae Grimes

And I about I literally knocked over a chair and was just like, "I I." I could not form sentences. I think I got across to him that I was on the new remake of the show, the spin-off of the show, but I'm not sure he really understood. I think he was just terrified. He was like, oh man.

Young Hollywood

You were panicking. So we were talking about the fans. What has been sort of like your like a memorable fan encounter, a really fun fan encounter? Do you have like a favorite?

Tristan Wilds

You know, I think um, my favorite is probably the first fan encounter I had, uh, out of the country. I was in Amsterdam walking into a a shop to get a sandwich and this girl behind the counter, this is like right after season one and I didn't even think they had it over there but she she starts, you know, freaking out, she's like, "Oh my god, you play this and that!" And I was, you know, to me it was mind-blowing, I could be all the way over in a different part of the world and someone would know.

Matt Lanter

I had a really cool uh, fan encounter um, in in Paris when I I went for, you know, a couple weeks for vacation and this couple passed by in a Mini Cooper and they're like, "Naomi, hey, where are you going?" And I'm like, "Oh, I'm looking for this."

Young Hollywood

They call you by your character's name?

Matt Lanter

Yeah. I'm like, "I'm looking for this tea shop." And they're like, "Oh, well, I can give you a ride." And I was with my wife and and they they full on took us to this tea shop and then they took us around Paris and were just being the best hosts ever.

Young Hollywood

Rock that Casbah wants to know. Oh. Can you ask Tristan and Lanter, what's going down with Dixon and Adriana?

Tristan Wilds

I guess the most I can tell you without getting sniped by the writers.

Young Hollywood

Yes, you don't want we don't want that to happen.

Tristan Wilds

Uh, it would be that um, first episode, you see that um, I'm kind of still hurt, I mean, I'm definitely in a coma or whatever and um, they find me in the hospital and uh, you get to see how she deals with that, you know, I you know, she was mad, she thought I she thought that I didn't change, that I didn't come to see her, that I just blew her off. And then she finds out that I was in a horrible car accident and makes her way back to see me.

Young Hollywood

That's some good information. Yeah. @CaseyZ wants to know what kind of drama can we expect in season five?

Jessica Stroup

Um, lots of drama as always. The kids are growing up and they're having to face a lot more life issues outside of the high school hallways. So, it's it's going to be really fun for fans. I think they'll be able to relate a lot.

Young Hollywood

Fabby Myers. Okay. Wants to know. Oh, she's gonna be so excited. Who would you want your character to end up with?

Matt Lanter

It doesn't matter who I'm with. It always goes back to Liaomi. Liam and Naomi were my favorite by far.

Young Hollywood

So I asked everybody else because this is a party for your 100th episode to finish this sentence. It's not a party unless.

Shenae Grimes

Okay. Unless cupcakes are thrown. So we better go throw some cupcakes.

Young Hollywood

What were the other answers? I actually want to know.

Michael Steger

It's not a party unless the entire cast is on set, um, to witness an embarrassing moment.

Tristan Wilds

It's not a party unless Tristan is there making the beats happen.

Jessica Stroup

It's not a party unless you have girls, booze, and great music.

Matt Lanter

It's not a party unless unless somebody winds up with their pants down.

Young Hollywood

Woo! Yeah, right? Should we go start that cake fight?

Shenae Grimes

Yeah, let's do it. Cake fight!

Young Hollywood

Everybody, toast the uh, 100th episode of 90210.
