I have been typecast. I have been typecast as the presidential smart girl that makes mistakes. At first, I thought it was awesome that I was able to convey that type of character in such a long-running, critically acclaimed television series. However, now, it is getting very annoying. My best friend tends to disagree with me, though.
He doesn't understand what it's like. He has played all different kinds of characters: a wild-child, a loner, and an emo kid. One of those being my love interest for four seasons. He just doesn't understand what it's like to go from audition to audition and be told that he isn't right for the role, simply because he hasn't been given the chance to show his creative range.
It's kind of a you can't get a job without experience, can't get experience without a job situation.
I have not properly introduced myself, my name is Aislinn Paul, and I played Clare Edwards in Degrassi, an Emmy winning Canadian teen sitcom.
The second paragraph of this tell-all makes it seem like I hate my co-star, Munro Chambers, but I really don't. In fact, I have liked him, like liked him liked him, since her reappeared into my life at the beginning of season ten. I was ecstatic when I found out we would be romantically involved on screen.
Unfortunately, he has never felt the same for me. He dated girls from his various other projects throughout his time on the show, making it clearly visible to all those fawning over him that he was not interested. One of these escapades was his costar from The Latest BuzzΒΈ Zoe Belkin. She was gorgeous, and I had met her before, when she guest starred on an episode of Degrassi, where she went on a date with Argiris' character, Riley.
All right, so I have just finished filming my new TV show for Hulu, Freakish, it is a pretty great show. I loved it from the first read of the script. However, I am a girl running for president of the school, and I turn out to be pregnant. Oh, and my character dates a guy who is the polar opposite of her.
This should sound familiar.
After filming wrapped I called Munro.
"Hello?" His husky voice answered.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked, hoping he would say that he wasn't busy.
"Not very much, just looking over my plans for the next few weeks. Why do you ask?"
"Well, I just got back to Toronto, and I was wondering if you wanted to meet up or hang out at your place or something," I was rambling.
"Oh, yeah! Absolutely, Aislinn. Just let me straighten up the apartment, then you can come over?" His voice noticeably perked up.
"Okay, perfect. Say twenty?"
"Twenty," He mimicked, "Wait, what did I say that for?"
"Twenty minutes, Munro. Will it be okay if I'm there in twenty minutes?" I asked, laughing at him.
"Oh, uh, yeah." He was laughing, too. "I'll see you then."
I smiled and said, "Bye," and I hung up the phone. I set it down on the table and squealed. I hadn't seen Munro since the final episode aired in the summer of 2015.
I went into my bathroom and checked my makeup; it looked decent, well, decent enough for how Munro has seen me over the years.
I fluffed up my hair and then let it fall back onto my shoulders. Figuring there wasn't much I should or needed to do to my appearance, I hopped into the car and headed in the direction of Munro's apartment.
All right everybody! I am going to make this into a several chapter story. Let me know if you all would be interested. Love you all. Review below.
