If I was going to tell you a story of my life, I guarantee you, I pull from 12 to 15. You guys have history in working in the youth, YA programming space with The Thundermans and Pair of Kings. Why do you keep coming back to this genre?Ĭross: It's the time in your life where you're cementing who you are as a person. We definitely have stuff planned for all the boys to be going through some of their current relationship stuff or past relationship stuff and dealing with that and the lives they left behind. Do you plan on having similar Reggie- and Alex-centric episodes in the future? Luke had a big emotional moment in episode eight, where you learn a lot of backstory into what happened with his family before his untimely death. Hoge: There's a lot to reconcile there, which is a lot of fun for us. If we get our season 2, he'll also be right in the mix, trying to figure out how any of this is possible and trying not to be exposed for the song stealer that he is. That's the most fun part of that character, just watching him process that. Is the Trevor situation going to be resolved? Do you feel like you haven't scratched the surface on the broken dynamic between Sunset Curve?Ĭross: The moment when he's in the club - the actor's name is Steve Bacic - and he sits down in that lounge area and he's watching the band, is one of my favorite moments in the series. It's something they're still exploring and don't understand so they can't get to a kiss yet, until maybe something that's more well-defined. But big picture, they don't kiss because they don't know what they are yet, meaning what their relationship is. That moment was very intentionally set that way. So definitely that's why we didn't do anything physical there at the end, because them being able to hug was the love that she has for all of them, not just for Luke. But I think at the end, when they were all able to touch, we didn't want to make it about that. Making the audience wait in suspense is always wonderful and it keeps your stories going. Hoge: They don't kiss because they can't kiss. The things she tells Flynn, "The heart wants what the heart wants." Is there a limit to that? And second season, hopefully they'll give us a chance to address that as well. "One of us is a ghost." But emotions are emotions. They know this is a difficult thing to address. They allude to it, but neither one of them are stupid. Hoge: Yeah, I think they know there's chemistry. It's even harder to be in a relationship with somebody in your own band, and it's even harder to be in a relationship with somebody that's dead. Where do they stand at the end of the finale? What are you looking towards in terms of their future?Ĭross: They had a strong connection when it comes to songwriting and, like Dave said, if we were to get our second season, that's where their strongest connection will be because it's hard enough to be in a relationship. Julie and Luke were slowly connecting over the course of the season. But the show's called Julie and the Phantoms, so I think it behooves us to keep them as phantoms as long as we can. Just for curiosity's sake, it's good that they're asking it. So the question of its permanence, if they're actually full-blooded beings, that's a question that you want people to ask themselves? The power of love is the thing that ultimately saved them and a powerful, positive message in a time where people could use a little bit of that. Besides the curiosity factor as to why that happened, this is what the world needs - a little more love. It's the power of love of the band it's the power of the band that gives them that ability to come back from their demise. It doesn't have to be the power of romantic love. Hoge: Is it temporary or not is the question.Ĭross: It's talking about friendship and the power of love. And as Julie answered the door, Nick, ahem, Caleb, smiled that wicked smile. But the sneaky Caleb Covington ( Cheyenne Jackson) was waiting in the wings, possessing Nick's body with a secret mission in mind. While Julie and Luke's friendship was gradually blossoming into something potentially more, Julie's other romantic prospect, Nick ( Sacha Carlson), appeared at her front door. What does this new development mean? And is it permanent? When it looked like the Phantoms were going to poof away forever, the foursome's newfound love for each other appeared to stop the ghosts' curse, and they were granted the power to touch. But not everything is all fine and dandy. Here's where we find Julie (Reyes) and her ghost band, the Phantoms - Luke ( Charlie Gillespie), Reggie ( Jeremy Shada) and Alex ( Owen Patrick Joyner) - at the end of the season: After the Phantoms unknowingly struck a deal with the devil, they returned at the last second to perform at the Orpheum with Julie, accomplishing a dream they failed to accomplish before they ate those fatal hot dogs in 1995.
