In LIFE WITH BOYS, Allie is portrayed as a quintessential girly girl who lives for fashion, makeup, cheerleading, and yes, boys. Her best friend’s Tess acts as a foil, their opposing personalities balancing each other and lifting the show’s energy. Allie’s world is bright, loud, and unapologetic about style, and the dynamic between the two characters fuels many of the show’s lighthearted moments.
The actress and Allie share a love for style and a strong loyalty to friends, but their approaches differ. Allie tends to push outfits to the max with sequins and sparkle, while the real-life performer enjoys fashion too but keeps her wardrobe a touch less glittery. Both are devoted to their circle of friends, and both are driven by a sense of loyalty that keeps their friendships intact even when mischief and misunderstandings arise. She notes that she focuses more on school and aims for straight As, a contrast to Allie’s more carefree approach to academics.
One memory from set stands out for the actress: the food fight scene in the episode titled In the Principal’s Office with Boys. It was incredibly messy and fun, with salad dressing dripping through their hair and bits of food clinging to clothes. Yet it was also a moment of laughter and teamwork, and after filming, the two shared a hug and joked about never doing that to each other again. The scene encapsulated the show’s playful energy and the camaraderie on set.
Fans can look forward to two episodes in particular: In the Principal’s Office with Boys and Trouble with Boys. Both are favorites because they amp up the comedy and chaos. In Principal’s Office, Tess tries to lead a cheer routine while Allie experiments with a camping vibe that clashes with her usual style, and of course the food fight returns. In Trouble with Boys, Allie and Tess both fall for the same guy, and the twists that follow test their friendship while keeping the tone light and entertaining.
People might be surprised by how little rehearsal time is allotted. The show is produced at a fast pace—an entire episode can be filmed in just three days, with one rehearsal day and two shooting days. The schedule is intense even before you factor in schoolwork on set, but the crew keeps energy high, and the quick pace seems to fuel the actors’ chemistry and improvisation in small moments that land with a big impact.
Filming Life with Boys required a big move for the star. She relocated to Toronto for five months, a lengthy stretch away from home and her usual surroundings. She is not from Canada, living in Los Angeles, so she and her mom shared an apartment in Toronto during production. The experience offered a chance to explore a new city and grow close to the cast and crew. She remembers the city fondly and even jokes about becoming a Tim Hortons regular after the project ended.
On the dream list of collaborators, the actress already has had the privilege of working with several big names, including Dwayne Johnson, Will Smith, and Miley Cyrus. She would love to share the screen with Sandra Bullock someday, and she admits that landing roles opposite Taylor Lautner or Robert Pattinson would be thrilling. The ambition reflects the enthusiasm she brings to every project and the excitement she feels about the possibilities ahead.
When asked about all-time favorite shows, she cites Modern Family, Parenthood, and Criminal Minds as current favorites. What draws her in is a blend of sharp humor, relatable family dynamics, and compelling storytelling that resonates across audiences. These shows represent the kind of storytelling she admires and aspires to contribute to in her own work.
The best piece of advice she has received is simple and powerful: be yourself. Confidence matters, and surrounding oneself with positive people who love you for who you are makes all the difference. In a demanding industry, staying grounded and true to one’s values keeps the path clear and enjoyable, even when auditions or filming get tough.
Fans can catch Life with Boys on Fridays at 6:30 p.m. on YTV, where Allie’s adventures, fashion moments, and the show’s signature humor continue to entertain. The series invites viewers into a world where friends, fashion, and a little mischief collide for lighthearted fun each week.
