We sit down with actor Bethany Joy Lenz to discuss her new memoir, Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show (While Also in an Actual Cult!). Bethany opens up about the dual realities she navigated during her years as beloved TV star, Haley James Scott–balancing the demands of a hit teen drama while secretly living under the influence of a high-demand group.
In this candid conversation, Bethany reflects on the blurred lines between fiction and reality, how storytelling became her lifeline, breaking free from codependency, and what motherhood has taught her about trusting herself. We also discussed the wildest One Tree Hill plot lines, how much her music meant to us, and asked if there is any hope for a One Tree Hill reboot.

We sat down with the brilliant and hilarious Catherine Reitman, the mastermind behind the massive hit series "Workin' Moms."

We talked about the challenges of balancing motherhood with a demanding career and how she weaves that authenticity into her writing. Catherine also shared some behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the set, the importance of representing complex, even "unlikable" women on screen, the power of an all-female writer's room, and reflecting on coming from a family of talented filmmakers.
