teen wolf paleyfest15 highlights
— jeff said that crystal was the first one to read for allison and every time a following girl read, he would say to the codirector “not as good as crystal, not as good as crystal”
—jeff is talking about how lydia and stiles are SUPER SUPER different from how he originally envisioned them, because holland and dylan have brought so much life and depth to them than he ever initially thought
—jeff just said “these actors…they’re bringing so many skills and talents. it’s why they keep getting snatched away from me for movies and tv shows…damn you cw…”
—holland originally went in for allison and didn’t get a callback, and then like a month later she got called for lydia and she didn’t think she was going to get it because the original character desc just talked about being a runway model lookalike and when she was waiting to go in and read, it was literally like all models and stuff, but then she booked it and she’s become much more three dimensional
—“i love lydia’s character and there are some really great surprises for her this season, one of the openings is all about lydia and it’s a lot of fun” — jeff
jeff is saying he literally can’t watch the scene of allison die, and he’s angry that the networks keep using those clips over and over again because he misses allison and crystal so much and crystal just hugged him. tyler just said quietly “hey, you can always bring dead people back in beacon hills” and jeff kept talking. and jeff just confirmed that it was crystal who wanted to say i love you.
—jeff said that hoechlin recently shot an indie movie and he loved it and it scared him because it was new and jeff said “are you asking me to move on?” and jeff is saying that the network said that they’ll let him go but that he won’t be finalized because he wants him to come back lol and he just said basically what was said on the twitter that this isn’t the last of derek hale
—“season five is all about senior year and the fear of losing your friends after graduation. it’s a season of mysteries, there is a lot of action, a lot of horror, and we’re constantly challenged about doing bigger and better and i think what’s nice about this season is everyone is kind of a seasoned pro. a lot of new stuff from liam and kira. there is a big refocus on stiles and scott and their friendship. the real romance of the show is the bromance.” — jeff
—someone asked about the stydia detective agency and jeff said “i love the two of them together. there is a fun episode where the two of them go to eichen house to interview someone for information”
—jeff is saying that in between takes, all the guys do 40 push ups when they are doing shirtless scenes and that he’s making impossible standards for men and then a guy in the audience yells “YEAH, THANKS FOR THAT!”
—“we’re shooting episode 64, which is amazing to me that a show called teen wolf has lasted this long, but it’s exciting to put them in new situations. every season we try to think ‘okay how do we make these characters grow? how do we challenge them as actors?’ and these actors keep getting better and better. it’s amazing to see how much dylan and tyler have grown having seen them as teenagers. 3b is my favorite season where dylan got to be the bad guy, i was watching that and when he said ‘you can’t kill me, i’m a thousand years old!’, it’s phenomenal! i still get chills! but when you see that, you want to write more. i have the best writers, they’re all working really hard to come up with what we want to see these characters do. we come at it as fans ourselves about what we want to see. whenever we’re banging our heads on the wall in the writers room, we try to treat ourselves as fans first and find out what they want to see” - jeff
—do we ever learn stiles real name? “uhh the writing room knows the first letter. and they’re trying to get it out of me. but i’m still deciding if i want the last episode of the show to see it written down somewhere.” — jeff “i think it should be something totally normal that for some reason stiles doesn’t like it. like bob.” — dobrien “it’s actually so weird i have to remember how to spell it.” — jeff
—is daniel sharman coming back? “i talked to daniel the other day, we’re not sure. -smirk-“ — jeff
—does danny come back? “we’ll see. i don’t like to make too many promises, because i end up on the phone with an agent yelling at me saying i said someone would come back.” — jeff
—charlie carver just showed up and crashed the panel in the audience to ask a question and the audience started screaming haha “danny wanted me to ask a question…i just wanna know if we can all hang out?”
does lydia find love in season five? “well, she only has five scripts so far…”
— jeff and then a ton of audience members yelled IT NEEDS TO BE STILES and holland goes “i’m too scared to say anything because my boss is right there…i’m in the grip of fear so i’m not gonna say anything” and jeff said “you’ll have to watch and see, she may not end up with the person you think she does at first.”
—does stiles ever take his shirt off in the series? “i have long left that up to mr. obrien to decide. and then we realized that it’s too late now, so we just turned it into a running joke that we will never see him shirtless.” — jeff
