#apt7g plot drop

[apt7g]

               WELCOME TO NBC UNIVERSAL LOT 45 !

after multiple rounds of auditions and chemistry reads, the final cast of apartment 7g has been set ! the cast of six has all met each other at some point or another during the audition process, but they did not yet know who would make it to the final cast. Congratulations to Esmerey Demirci, Fiona Finkleman, Rav Prasad, Sonya Butala, Nikita Sheth, & Sloane Pearson !

In order to celebrate, executive producer Lane Ortiz has invited the cast out for drinks on Thursday night at an exclusive bar in Hollywood. Some of the new comers to Hollywood might be surprised to pull up to a curb and be met by flashing lights and photographers. Warmest welcome to Hollywood! At the end of the night, Lane gathers the cast around for a surprise.

To encourage team bonding and in order to create a more authentic feel to the friendship between the six, the cast is being sent to Chicago for one week. They will live together in an airb&b that the studio has paid for. They are expected to cook and clean for themselves, and will be given a total stipend of $2,500 each (cast members are welcome to spend their own money if they care to, but the studio will only expense up to 2.5k). The studio wants the group to really get to know each other, so that when the cameras start rolling they can have a very authentic on-screen friendship.

The cast will leave for Chicago on Friday April 16 and return to LA Friday April 23. Production for season one is set to begin on Monday April 26 following their return.
