THE STAR SCOOP:
Hi, Megan. How are you?
MEGAN PARK:
Good. How are you?
THE STAR SCOOP:
Good. Thanks so much for taking questions today.
Megan Park:
No problem.
THE STAR SCOOP:
I was wondering if you could tell us a little bit about how the relationship with Grace and her mom will continue to evolve, and also a little bit about your relationship with Josie Bissett.
MEGAN PARK:
My relationship with Josie is amazing. I love working with her because it’s always a group of kids hanging out and working on set, so it’s kind of fun when I get to work withher. I mean, I love working with the rest of the cast, but she’s been around for so long and has such great knowledge of the industry and obviously having worked on such a successful, Melrose Place, show for so long. She brings a lot of knowledge and experience to the scenes. Just working with her, I feel like I always learn something, which is cool.
We don’t really have a mother/daughter relationship off-set. We’re like good friends. We both really like to shop and love fashion so we end up pulling out our laptops and she’ll be like, “Oh my gosh, go to this website and look at these boots. Do you think I should get them?” We’re always emailing each other back and forth about funny stories. She is really cool, and doesn’t act like a mom at all. She is really fun. We just have a really good friendship off-set and she gives me great guy advice and we’re always talking about relationships.
In terms of our relationship on camera, it’s not that different. I think Grace is very open with her mom, but this season they go through a rough patch because her mom starts dating this new guy and it’s pretty serious. He moves into the house and that is a huge thing for her because it’s pretty soon after her dad passes away. That obviously creates a lot of tension and because Grace is Christian she thinks that the guy shouldn’t be living at the house if they’re not married and all this stuff. There is a lot of tension there, just like normal teenage girls and their mothers, but they go through a turbulent patch this season.
THE STAR SCOOP:
As far as guest stars go, you guys have had some pretty neat people come through. Is there anybody that you would like to see in the future appear on the show with you guys?
MEGAN PARK:
Gosh, I don’t even know. It would be cool to have a musician on the show. I feel like it would be cool to have somebody, maybe a hot musician guy come through and be the object of all the girls’ affection. I don’t even know who though. Who’s a hot musician? I’m asking my roommate. She says there’s so many. But yes, a hot young musician would be cool.
THE STAR SCOOP:
Thanks.
