Di Laurentis

Alright, I'm fine with giving Jalen that title. He really does give off that boy next door or golden retriever energy. He can't do anything wrong and everyone just loves him. That's good, at least we can visit Mexico again at some point. Would've sucked if our names are on a blacklist. It's crazy how fast everything's going. The hype about the first season is still so real and now we're starting season two. How are you feeling about it? As it's all about Dean and Allie this time around. Excited to dig more into Dean's life?

He does, truly sometimes think he doesn't get enough appreciation but if there's any of us that is probably the sweetest it's him. You can have second place because it's definitely not Belmont or me. True, would be pretty bad if we got blacklisted super easily. Pretty sure Louisa would have questions on how the fuck that happened. Really is, but when we all got on that chat to tell us we got green lit for season two... can't even describe how I felt. Really excited, yeah. Think getting to dig into Dean more, see a vulnerable side of him that he's not used to showing. We all know Dean as this incredibly suave, got his shit together, takes a lot to rattle him, ladies man but I'm really hoping we get to see the side from the book on just how smart he is. He's a man who has an offer from Harvard for law school, he's protective of his family, so I'm hoping we get to reflect in that a bit. See how he handles having to really deal with emotions of a relationship that is the first time he's kind of let himself feel something. But what about you? We're getting India on the show for Grace, gonna see some intertwining of threading her and Logan's story. Can I admit I finally sat down and watched the full play through of In Pieces and gotta say, we gotta get you singing on the show.

So, I may or may not have realized that this new hockey show that Jalen is on happens to be the same one you're on. How did you enjoy having him on set? He better have behaved or else he will feel my wrath. He can't embarrass the Pitt family. @stephenkalynfms

It is! Jalen's my boy, love him. Fucking hilarious. He's amazing, truly. Nothing short of the sweetest guy. Don't worry he behaves, and then we all don't behave. No, really. Literally one of my best friends now. Him and I have been grabbing lunch out pretty much each day since I got back to Canada to film. Heard that The Pitt will be starting filming in just a few weeks. We started up today, gearing everything into full steam ahead for season two. I'm hoping you'll all be able to fit Jalen in still for the Pitt even if it's the night shift again.

I haven't had the chance to watch the Off Campus yet, but I can tell from the clips that I am going to love it. I wonder what it is that the audiences think is so sexy about hockey. I mean, it can be kind of hot to watch a bunch of people shove each other around, if you're into that. What do you think? @stephenkalynfms

I'm impartial, I can't give anything but an incredibly biased answer that it's a great show. Sure you get that, feeling that way about Heated Rivalry. Wrong person to ask, think hockey is incredibly hot. Given I grew up playing hockey, this is like my dream right now. Acting and hockey? I grew up in Canada and practically raised on it with my family. Knew I would never go pro though, but look where I ended up still doing hockey and the dream. When you watch you'll have to let me know what you think.

They were making tiktoks about your blonde hair? The fans really talk about the most weirdest things sometimes. I'm always left with brows raised and all that. I have a feeling I knew what they sent you there for. The product that they want you to use and all. But yes, the last thing we want is your hair getting all damaged! Damn, I was going to tell you to buy the skincare products and face masks, so that we can put them on together and relax on of the evenings we're not working. You just ruined my wholesome night with you, Stephen! Oh yeah, we're getting you under eye patches. We all need those in our lives. He's just not limber like you an Antonio, okay. Leave him alone. Poor Belmont. No, I know you do and it's all out of love. I imagine that the rink was easier. It sounds a lot more fun than the gym too. We did — almost felt like the first day of school. PRIVATE: Only because I'm nervous but once we get the meeting over with? I'll be fine. As long as they don't tell us they're disappointed or voices get raised, I'll be okay. I figured the meeting would be a long one. Especially when they see me walk in. Nonsense. No one can really come between us. Yes yes, I know the same goes for me. Aww, did you really? Eek, I can't wait to see what you've found.

No, I mean.. there were ones about the fact I'm blonde again. I meant I was stumbling down the hole that is the fans of Off Campus on Tik Tok. Some videos are pretty great, and like hiring them would make promos fire. There's one that came across my page for Dean to a Måneskin song. Not gonna lie, that one hit and got a save from me. You know the products, cool. That'll make it easier when I've got you leading me through the store because don't have a clue. Been in Sephora four times since starting this show and still not a fucking clue. Okay meet in the middle, I'll give you face masks and eye patches for like a once a week thing. You don't need them more than once a week, right? No, he is perfectly limber, he just doesn't know how to fall. It's all good if we don't take the piss out of each other it wouldn't be us. I'll be headed to the gym tomorrow though, already got my alarm set for 6. Can get in and get out. Did kind of feel like first day of school, that first week is always a good time. PRIVATE: Think the meeting went, shit a lot better than I could have hoped for. They totally knew the second you came in behind me. Louisa was trying hard as fuck not to grin. She loves us thankfully. Get the whole warning, the show is just as important to us. It's our jobs. See, no disappointment, no yelling. Not that I would have let yelling happen, we're adults. Consenting adults. Which honestly, if Louisa isn't upset the execs can deal. I did. Figured it would be easier to go with the whole well, we live in the same building. Ones that people can't just wander inside of to see that we just so happen to live in the same condo.

so i think i'm going to give the make up team a bit of a surprise. though i'm wondering if i warn them ahead of time or just let them discover it. maybe i'll let them..but it's going to be so good to be back with everyone. i hope you know we're going out for drinks this coming weekend to celebrate...even if we've all been together since press and all that. @stephenkalynfms

A surprise? What did you do, Bel. And are we talking surprise good or surprised bad, are you going to get yelled at? Should I be there to witness this just you know - totally for support. Shit, I've already been out on the ice since 6 this morning. Too much excited energy, the blond is back what more could we need. You don't have to ask me twice think by the end of the week celebrating the first week back, fuck yeah.

Oh, I'm sure that it took hours to turn you back to blonde. The whole bleaching process is so tedious. But look at you, champ! You made it through and now all that's left is you ensuring that you keep it fresh and not turn it into a brassy blonde. Need to shop at sephora?? Oh, you and I are definitely going to be shopping together then. Well, you have to make sure that Dean stays looking pretty! You three are insane, please. Calling out earthquake when he falls? Diabolical but also hilarious. I need to be there for it. Oh, you were up and going by 6...I didn't wake up until like 7:30am and that was early for me. PRIVATE: I know there isn't anything to really be nervous about, but for some reason? I feel all these knots in my stomach all of a sudden. We can wait until we get through the meeting then determine when to tell everyone else. That's probably smart. We don't need everyone freaking out on us all at once. Stephen, I know it was a joke. Not every little joke makes me spiral into worry. Of course, I want that. If I didn't I wouldn't have mentioned it. Yeah, India is here now and us living together won't stop her and I from becoming friends and hanging out together.

The amount of time I spent on Tik Tok was ridiculous. Way too many reading the comments, gotta admit kinda hilarious the ones I saw luckily. Think that's one of the things they're sending me to Sephora for, to keep it from getting brassy too fast, and something about not completely damaging my hair which definitely made me cringe. Okay, I'll take you to Sephora with me but please, please don't attempt to convince me that I need anything else but what I am going for. If you tell me I now need incredibly expensive skincare because I'm aging I'll cease to exist on spot! The most you can convince me for is eye patches. Actually learned I don't mind those. Yes, yes. Dean must stay pretty. What? Literally he falls so loudly and hard. I don't get how he falls that hard. I love the dude, you know that. Needed to burn off some excited energy, which meant either the gym or the rink. Rink was easier, shockingly. See we all had early mornings then. PRIVATE: Not going to send you into a spiral of worry but your stomach is in knots, babe. I'm not worried, but we're definitely going to probably have a decently long conversation with them. Alright, I just wanted to make sure. Didn't want to come between the girls if you changed your mind. You always say it's no pressure for me, but the same goes for you. You could have changed your mind. With that being said there are a few condos I've saved on my laptop that I'll show you, figured something with a little more privacy is going to be the way to go.

Tell me about it! I got settled in last night and woke up way too early today out of pure excitement. I've seen the plethora of photos of you back in blond...cute. Aww, I bet you're so happy to be back on the ice and on the motherland. I'm pretty sure we were all really happy before ten in the morning. PRIVATE: That's honestly perfect. When is the meeting for? Have we also decided when we're going to tell our friends? Right right, the apartment talk. Again, just a reminder...no pressure.

Do you realize how long it took me in the chair to get back to blond? It's a little obnoxious and I've been instructed I must go to Sephora and buy a very specific set of stuff for my hair. Dean is getting to be very, very high maintenance when we all see some of his roots in the show. Back on the ice, absolutely. Also excited to see how fast Belmont got rusty and see him back on his skates. Antonio and I can go around yelling earthquake when he falls again. May or may not have been on the rink at 6 this morning to just skate around. PRIVATE: Meeting is for after our first table read through of the first two scenes? They're expecting like somewhere around 3pm. We did not discuss when we were gonna tell friends, part of me wonders if we should get through the meeting first and make sure I don't come out flayed alive. It's a joke before you worry. There's no pressure, I want to make sure you want that. Know how much you enjoyed living with Ella and would hate to break up best friends especially with India here now.

I don't think anyone forewarned him. They probably thought he was going to skip out on it altogether because of the height thing. You mentally had to prepare for it? So does that mean you won't want to go zip-lining with me? People just like to assume that we're all very much like our characters. Which...I'll never get. I don't think everyone is afraid of me, babe. Just you. I guess that makes sense. Wow, I can't believe you're going to make me figure out the passcode. Aww, thank you for being so sweet and not wanting to lock me out of the actual room.

Blinked and we're back. The blond is back, the abs are - well, those never went away but I'm back in the gym, back on the ice. Don't think I've ever been more excited to get into things. I realize I'm far too happy for just shy of 10 in the morning and we've not even gone through our first test read. Gotta admit I'm happier to be back in Canada. PRIVATE: I just wanted to give you a heads up I set up a meeting and figured we'd rip the bandaid off, they just don't know you're coming with me. Knew if I said for the both of us, they'd be freaking the fuck out. After that think the whole apartment situation can be finally discussed again.

I think I stayed on the beach most of the time and just read a book. I know, that sounds boring, but I needed some time to just clear my mind. It was very relaxing and I hate that it ended so soon. What ended up being your favorite activity on the trip?

Don't think it's boring if you're enjoying the time spent that's all that really matters. Definitely spent a good few days out on the beach, also did a hell of a lot of drinking. I'm oddly okay that it ended because we pick up filming starting today and I enjoy being able to hang with the people I've gotten so close with. Favorite activity on the trip... huh. Well, okay, the underground rivers.

Yes! It's based off a book series that has a few different spin-offs from the main series. I have read it, actually. Or well.. I fully read the book that involves Dean, who I play. I've skimmed the others, did a good chunk out of The Deal since that is what the first season is based on. Will say you can kind of watch and read at the same time, there's a few changes that make things a bit different. We actually start filming today for the second season. Honestly, I'm pretty excited I've enjoyed being back in Vancouver.

okay... tell me everything!! how was the trip for you? we bumped into each other just a couple of times and the impression that you gave me is that you were having the best time! because so do I! i had a blast! i tried to be part of all the activities and now back to reality but i am exhausted! i need a couple of days to recover. are you back to filming? or when are you starting the new season? i am excited about it, i really enjoyed the first one.

The trip was great, I got to explore a bunch of places. Hang with some of my best friends outside of being on set. That tends to be me, or well, any of my friends and me. We like to have a good time, tend to go a little crazy before reeling it in. Think I was getting out all the left over exhaustion from the press tour and now that we officially start filming again today for the season 2 it means I'm back in the thick of everything. We literally start today, I was back in the chair getting my hair bleached blond Saturday and basically that's been my last few days. We're really excited about season 2, transitioning it in Dean and Allie's season is going to be great, but still having everyone involved is going to make the fans really happy I think. We made something special for sure. Any projects you're working on?

"using the same one over and over can get boring," he said with a grin plastered on his face. belmont couldn't help but laugh as he realized that he wasn't the only one watching edits," and yes, i've seen those, far too many of them." he loved that people loved them so much, but it could be a bit much at times," uh huh." he hadn't thought that things would explode as fast as they had, but he was grateful," i'm shocked that i even had to remind you of that."

"Alright, I'll work on using a better vocabulary on you, who knew you could be so picky." Stephen quipped, rocking his head to the side, tiling it slightly watching his friend get ready to go out. "I don't even need to go looking for them, they're now sent to me directly by people. Some are pretty good. A few with me skating and bashing into people, love those." he admitted, "But had to delete instagram for a bit because it kept freezing my whole fucking phone." Giving a casual shrug, "Not so much reminding, just didn't expect pissy in an amazing place like this." Gesturing around, you couldn't pretend they weren't living the dream right now. "Still debating if this is as good as Brazil. Think Brazil stole my heart." he admitted.

I went horseback riding and then rode some atv's which was pretty fun. The rest of the time I have been partying on the beach and working on my tan.

Damn, didn't think about horseback riding, was it along the beach? I've seen videos of that and sounds like a good time. Never gotten to do it. I spent a lot of the time on the beach, but now I'm just bunkering down till weather clears to be able to fly out.
