Plus, there’s behind-the-scenes tricks of the show, private birthday celebrations and find out what forced Sophia to pass on a big opportunity.”

First of all, you don't know me.

All about that high school drama girl, drama girl, all about them.

High school queens, We'll take you for a ride.

And our comic girl cheering for the right teams.

Drama queens j my girl girl fashion, but your tough.

Girl, you could sit with us Girl Drama, Queens, Drama, Quise Drama, Queens Drama, Drama, Queens, Drama Queens.

Oh, hi, everyone, we have a Q and A today. Hey girl, these.

Are actually good questions. Hold on, let's go.

Okay, we're gonna get right into Danny's question.

This is good.

Danny wants to know which current show would you want to guest star on.

Oh, I wish I watched a lot of current TV. I'm such a creature of habit and go back and watch all my old favorites. What's on right now? That's like exciting Yellowstone, Put me on a horse, Put me on.

A horse, write that country song Joy.

Yellowstone would be so fun. I will say, I'm watching a lot of weird shows on the History Channel right now. And I know we've talked about this, but now the thing I can't stop thinking about when I'm many seasons into alone watching people survive in the labror wilderness of North America. Is I'm like, wouldn't it be neat to see if you could send alone fans out into the wilds with alone experts, you know, like.

I just you want to shadow someone?

Yeah, I think so good at helping to build a shelter. I don't know how long I'd want to stay, but I'd like to go.

So my journey produces that show. I lived with David George and I like first.

Moved to New York.

It's gonna happen, and Sophia, I can make this phone call and make this happen.

I'm really gonna need to ask him so many questions.

Well, my favorite thing is that they thought it was gonna be a show where all these like brawny dudes. One you know, it's all like who's the survivalist. The last few seasons it's all witches. It's all women who know how to use herbs and like plants and they go out there and they just meditate and they're totally fine witches.

We love to see it. I love this. I love that this is going to happen. Oh my god, sweating with all your free time.

I want to be on a show called You Guys Don't Know Big City Greens.

But it's a cartoon. It's on Disney. I was trying to think of, like puts it on.

It is about a family that lives in their little country house that an entire sprawling city has shot up around.

And only a true like.

Redneck could have written this show, because I watched this with my kids every single morning, and I'm like, oh, I feel attacked by Big City Greens. And so if anybody out there has a connection to Big City Greens, I'll get Sophia on alone. If I can be a voice on a cartoon, that's what I wants.

What song gets you guys out on the dance floor? Ooh, Michayla, that's a good question. I don't think I could ever sit it out if I heard I Want to Dance with Somebody like that? That's just the ultimate pop song. How do you not get up?

By the way, I was about to be like, do I which of me and Lee Norris's songs do I talk about?

Is that I Want to Dance with Somebody?

Or Towty six nine Body and anguins you Twells? Wait, did you guys see the video I shared the other day. He sent me, there's a meteorologist I think in like Colorado who people submit songs that they want him to put into the weather report. And he did it. He did the Yin Yang times last week and Lee send it to me and we were screaming, no way. This guy's instagram is amazing. I'll send it to you.

It's great.

I will make sure to put it in the story for you guys listening at home too, so you're not like, what are you talking.

When we lived in Wilmington, we would go to Level five and if I was just in the middle of a conversation that our DJ Craig could tell I didn't want to be in, he would put on genuine hell Yeah.

And I am a big genuine fan and that.

Song everyone thinks of his other songs, hell Yeah is the one. But he would play it sometimes like three times a night, just to be like, Hillary, do you know, okay.

Do you want to get away from that person you come down?

Yeah? Yeah, genuine that's the kind of friend you want to be.

Kids, all right.

Emily asks where do you think Haley, Brooke and Peyton would go on a girl's.

Trip Sparkle Classic.

Yeah, besides the Sparkle Class.

Remember we did the Sparkle Classic and Gossip Girl got to go to Paris and we were like, okay, all right, and I do feel like, wait, did they actually go?

Yes, I feel like.

We should go to Paris. Is really all I'm saying. I think the three of us deserve it.

Yep, at least like Quebec City, they really went to Paris and we went to Myrtle Beach.

This epic that is really just a picture of our network at the time so much.

That's incredible. That's incredible.

Yeah, co signed on Paris. Hey Tessa is asking what has been your favorite age to live through so far? I mean right now? Yeah, right now? And if your answer is not right now, I'm sorry, it will get better. Well.

We've also just like never been cooler or more fun than we are right now.

Yeah even less, that's like the real.

Yeah exactly.

You hear older women say it. You hear them say it all the time, just.

Like, oh when you get older, you don't get it.

And I was always like, no good and yet to hit it and hit it hard feels so fun. It makes even go into the grocery like, I've been embarrassing the out of my kids in the grocery store, just singing to all that music that they play, dance, trying to make Gust dance with me.

We ran into his crew.

That's the supermarket defying.

We don't care.

We love it.

Yeah, no forties or wild, they say.

Though.

I've been seeing a lot of women in their mid fifties post about how there's this expectation for women who are in their mid fifties to become invisible, and how they're rebelling against that by dyeing their hair like neon colors and like starting to dress real crazy and like do crazy old lady she, you know, like really lean into the visibility of being etcetera and audacious. And so while I'm really enjoying this phase, I kind of can't wait for that.

Yeah, there's a great poem about that. I wish I knew who it was from, but when I find it, I'll send it to you. Yeah.

The Hag years is what they call them when you go full hag and you're like I am here to swamp, which my brain's out right terrifying. Men.

Don I also think it's really interesting the way that expectations or or to your point, that's sort of being erased by society have really changed. And no shade, it was my favorite TV show ever. But like when you look at the way that the Golden Girls had their hair done and dressed, and they were all in their mid fifties, and then you see, like Julia Roberts is fifty something and she's like out here rocking around in cute loafers and little mini shorts and she's so hot, and I'm like, bring it on, Like, if that's what we get to age into, I'm so into it. And it seems like this sort of expectation of us having to become something other than just who we are is really changing and I like it. Okay, Elise wants to know this is actually wild. She said, you've talked about props before, and how you made Nanny Carey bleed from getting shot on the show, when Carrie talked about or when Tory talked about being in squibs. Is what the term for that is? But she asks, But I was wondering how they make you spit up blood or have blood coming from your mouth in scenes. Oh, at least it's a gross doozy.

Yeah, you just hold it in your mouth. You just hold it there.

Yeah.

Basically, what they'll do, let's say, you know, you're doing a scene and somebody like a Nanny Carey gets shot and then has dialogue, and then after I don't know, let's say four lines of dialogue, blood starts coming out of her mouth. What they do is you do the dialogue up until when it happens, and then they'll call hold and a props person will literally come over with a paper cup full of this fake blood that is so gross, and they.

Will sell your mouth up with it.

Yeah, and then they'll they'll call reset, and then they'll keep shooting the scene and you'll start you will have to start pushing blood out of your mouth with your tongue and then keep talking and miraculously you're not supposed to choke.

Remember when Joy had to bar on your show and it made me gag so mad?

Yeah, oh yeah, that's right.

Yeah.

Oatmeal, Yeah, it was like it's like an oatmeal apple sauce kind of a mixed your.

Meal apple sauce food that cornstarch food dye.

Oh so gross.

I have a really bad gag reflex.

I can't do that.

I don't like water work.

I don't like barf work. I don't like blood work. I just want to kiss and cry you guys.

The blood doesn't bother me. I don't love the barfing. Ever since our show, I can't water. I don't mess around with it. I got asked to like, go do a pretty big deal show that involved water this year, and I was like, absolutely notad No, I know myself well enough. I'm not doing it. I'm not signing up for it. Love you all I will. I will say thank you and hope that the energy of this brings in something sands water that is equally good. I'll see you on the flip.

Side, know thyself, goes.

I Oh for me, dog, don't be miserable, all right?

How Lane wants to know, how do you each.

Like to spend your birthdays?

Oh?

Birthdays? I don't do those anymore.

Jeffrey does this real irritating where he pretends my birthday is July second, as for the whole week my birthday. For fifteen years now, this man's like, can't wait to take you out on July second, and I'm like, funny, real funny.

And every year he.

Really convinces me that he has never figured out what day my birthday is, and then he always knows that on my actual birthday. But he's such a good actor that I'm just I spend my birthday irritated.

That's how I spend my birth I'm no wait.

Oh my goodness. I mean, I don't know, Hillary, maybe you feel this like having our birthdays that first week in July was always just a birthday as a kid, because everybody's doing something for the fourth.

You thought it was a ruiner.

Well, it's like nobody was ever around on my birthday. People were always like out of town for the weekend or whatever. So I think as a kid, I was just so excited on you know, the two times every seven years I get a birthday on a Friday or a Saturday. And otherwise it was like, because I'm so close to the fourth people were usually away on doing whatever they were doing, you know, going to the beach or camping with their families or whatever. And so I don't know, I'm not that attached to my actual birthday because the whole time we were doing our show, I'd usually have to travel, like on my birthday to be back for filming or the day before but I think like anytime a group of people is actually all in the same place for my birthday, I sort of feel like I've won the lottery.

Oh sweet.

I had a girlfriend, Ashley, who had been still friends with their since like sixth grade, and she had the pool to a pool at her house, and so her mom would throw a collective summer birthday party for all of us. So it was like six of us kids all celebrating our birthday together in high school, just having these like ragers, and they like had a trampoline. So for me, my birthday's not worth celebrating unless I'm celebrating it with like other July babies, and we have so many July baby friends. And I think that's just like a innate thing in my DNA where I'm like, you're a cancer, join us, join up our.

Party, come together and hold my little clothes.

Yeah, we need to throw a rager, is what needs to do. Agree, joy, Your birthday is right after April Fool's Day. Do you ever get like, yeah, do you get annoyed on your birthday too? No?

I just try and let it go by. I don't know, I've not I've always been a bit uncomfortable with. Usually what happens is I don't plan anything, and then the day before my birthday, I'm like, well, I guess I should do something. And then I call like six people and we go have dinner. Yeah, that's that's usually what happens in escape room and dinner or something kind of corny like that.

Scape rooms are corny. Those are cool, They're so fun.

I love them. I mean, I know they're corny, but I love them. Yeah, that's about it. I don't I don't usually tend to do big. I don't know why, like big big, like hey, yay me. I don't know.

Well, because because like our job is attention, and nobody wants to take work home.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that's the real misnomer about performers, is that like we love attention. A minute we leave work, we want to disappear.

Oh my god. No, well why Like a lot of actors I know can't date men that adore them. Like if if you've got a guy who's like a puppy that just adores you, it's like you have to you have to go away, You've got to go Oh that's funny. Why would I want somebody who's constantly adoring me. When that you show up to work and everybody just it's like it's hard to get anybody to be real with you and give you the real anything, because as an actor, you're you know, being told whatever you want to hear most of the time.

Jeffrey, if you're listening to this, that's why I write books now, Like writers love adoration. Writers are like, tell me more, which.

Part resonated with you the moment? Your favorite?

That's fun? Okay, what's the next one?

We got one more?

This feels like it's for me and you this year Hill, since Brooke and Payton have been living together.

Oh yeah, Kendall is asking was Brook's house a set or a reel house and wanted to know what was the point of the stairs, as both bedrooms were downstairs. What is up there?

I love this question. I asked this question many a time, Kendall. Thank you for making me feel seen. The outside of Brook's house, where Brick and Peyton would sit and you know, drink wine and Victoria would come scare them, was a real house. And I think because that real house was so tall and narrow, they felt when they built the set that they had to mimic a tall, narrow house. So they put stairs to nowhere on the set, and instead of building two sets side by side with the living room, you know, on one half and then the bedrooms quote upstairs next to it on the set floor, they just had this staircase to nowhere that went upstairs. And one time I think they referenced that the laundry room was up there.

I could swear I came down from a scene from up there.

Well, you came from nowhere.

It was the sewing room.

The sewing room when Brooks sows all that five minutes.

Like she's in her sewing room.

Yeah, because even the bell he was off of your kitchen.

Yep, there was just nothing anywhere. But it is so weird, you know, it's like this idea that you know, Brooke came home and bought a beach house because she's Brooke Davis and she's so rich from her big fashion company, and then she's in this house that like the two bedrooms are smushed right off the kitchen and then there's a staircase to nowhere. It just made me giggle so much that I was like, Oh, we're supposed to be in this like big bougie beach house and they just stuck us in the corner of the one sound stage we had left and they were like, well, whatever, we'll fit our house in there.

Yeah.

Yeah, make her bedroom purple.

No one will pay attention to it.

I can't see anything but the purple. Hey, you guys, thank you so much for these questions.

They're so fun.

We're gonna start planning our birthday right now.

Honestly, my main takeaway from today is that we need to do a group escape room.

Yeah, I'm ready.

Thanks y'all.
