\u201cLaguna Beach\u201d alums Lauren Conrad, Stephen Colletti, Trey Phillips, Dieter Schmitz, Morgan Smith, and Christina Sinclair are dishing on the highly anticipated \u201cThe Reunion: Laguna Beach.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cExtra\u2019s\u201d Alyssa Smith spoke with the group about the \u201cfull-circle moment\u201d that felt like coming home, as well as Lauren and Kristin Cavallari\u2019s one-on-one conversation.<\/p>\n
On the reunion, the two rivals meet up at a bonfire, something that was important to include.<\/p>\n
Lauren shared, \u201cIt\u2019s been 20 years and even, you know, off camera, we\u2019re friendly\u2026 As a producer, we felt like it was important to have that, just because it was a first.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lauren and Kristin are executive producers on \u201cThe Reunion: Laguna Beach,\u201d and their reunion was definitely \u201con the list.\u201d<\/p>\n
She noted, \u201cI think that the whole point of this was meant to be a healing, feel-good look back. We wanted this to feel nostalgic and also wanted to highlight the growth that everyone has in their life, going from 18 to 40.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLaguna Beach\u201d shot the cast to fame more than 20 years ago.<\/p>\n
Lauren admitted that it was \u201cstill cringey\u201d for her to watch the iconic series nowadays, but noted, \u201cI do appreciate that we were able to be part of it and capture some of those really important moments in our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stephen and Lauren both admitted the soundstage environment was \u201ca bit weird\u201d at first but shared how fun it was filming the location scenes, including the bonfire.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stephen explained, \u201cIt was also a bit of a different environment than we were used to because when we were doing the show in Laguna, they had the cameras far away, long legs, you know, and we\u2019re on a soundstage and there\u2019s this buildup to this moment of all getting together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lauren added, \u201cThe stage was harder because it was like lights and it was long. We were on that stage like eight hours.”<\/p>\n
Would any of the cast let their kids do a reality show? Dieter said it was a \u201chard no\u201d for him, explaining, \u201cIt\u2019s different; we didn\u2019t have social media when we did it. You really have to search if you wanted to find things. With this experience, there\u2019s a lot of comments on Instagram.\u201d<\/p>\n
Christina had a different position, saying, \u201cI hope I\u2019m raising them in a way that when they get to 17 years old, I can trust them. They\u2019re one year away from leaving the house, at which point I have no control. I\u2019d like to think I would allow them to do something like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stephen plans to show \u201cLaguna Beach\u201d to his teenage son at some point so he \u201cwould never want to do it.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Reunion: Laguna Beach\u201d is streaming April 10 on the Roku Channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JanuaryImages \u201cLaguna Beach\u201d alums Lauren Conrad, Stephen Colletti, Trey Phillips, Dieter Schmitz, Morgan Smith, and Christina Sinclair are…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":385428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,171537,32749,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-385427","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-jesse-palmer","12":"tag-the-bachelor","13":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=385427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/385427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/385428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=385427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=385427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=385427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
