With her ample feline abilities and amazing fearlessness, Chloe King, the formidable and powerful heroine on ABC Family’s show The Nine Lives of Chloe King, definitely put the grr in girl power. Moreover, Skyler Samuels, the talented actress who so perfectly portrayed this Mai warrior, is just as fierce. She’s cool, collected and super confident…and it just so happens to be her 18th birthday! From kicking major butt on TNLOCK to working tirelessly to promote ABC Family’s Delete Digital campaign, Skyler proves that life is all about taking action and seizing the day! So, in honor of her milestone birthday, we’re celebrating with five reasons why we adore her. Check them out below!

1. She’s an awesome actress! Before she landed the lead role on The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Skyler starred on The Gates, Drake & Josh, That’s So Raven, The Wizards of Waverly Place, in The Stepfather reboot (along with Gossip Girl stud Penn Badgley) and on an episode of Suite Life alongside Victoria Justice!
2. She’s well-spoken and articulate! One thing that has impressed us about Skyler time and time again is just how eloquent she is. She voices her opinion politely but yet in a way that’s intriguing and fresh. Don’t believe us? Watch one of our many exclusive interviews with her to witness just how incredible she truly is: http://www.theninelivesofchloeking.com/exclusive-interview-skyler-samuels-chats-about-chloe-king-season-one/.
3. She has a great group of friends! Not only is Skyler close with her super cute TNLOCK co-stars Ki Hong Lee, Grace Phipps, and Benjamin Stone, but she also is close with Teen Wolf hottie Colton Haynes! (Hmm. Not a bad crew to run with at all… )
4. She gives back to the community! Not only does Skyler embrace a green lifestyle, but she also supported Marie Claire’s and GUESS’s Save The Children fundraiser and participated in ABC Family’s Delete Digital Drama campaign in an attempt to raise awareness for cyberbullying.
5. She has a sense of humor and a sense of style! What do you get when you combine funny plus fabulous? One heck of a gal! From her witty jokes to her gorgeous red carpet dresses, Skyler is a shining example of how to have the best of both worlds!

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY, SKYLER SAMUELS!

In honor of his special day, here are five reasons why we heart Ben!

1. You know all those Harry Potter video games? Well,  Ben provided the voice Albus Dumbledore aka the most marvelous mentor in the wizarding world. (Accio, awesomeness!)
2. He kicked major ass as Alek Petrov on Chloe King and brought the saucy yet vulnerable character to life!
3. His dapper British accent is just so freaking hot and delicious mesmerizing. Case in point: an interview with Sir Stone on the red carpet.
4. He’s super bright and sweet to his fans. Don’t believe us? Follow him on twitter @benjstone to see just how witty and amazing he truly is!
5. Many Hunger Games fans have been dream casting him as Finnick Odair for the upcoming Catching Fire and Mockingjay movies. And we can totally see it and now rereading the books is ten times more fun (if that’s even possible) all thanks to Ben and his ability to to be simultaneously cheeky and empathetic!

We hope Ben has the loveliest birthday ever with plenty of cake and laughter! Got birthday wishes for Benjamin Stone as well? Leave them in the comments below!

The last few months have been tough on fans of The Nine Lives of Chloe King. No kick-ass Mai battles too look forward to. No romantic roof-top kisses between Chloe and Alek. No heartfelt wisdom from Valentina or hilarious jokes from Paul.  It’s safe to suffice that The Nine Lives of Chloe King has been sorely missed!

Thankfully though, after the series ended after one (incredible) season viewers took to Twitter, Facebook, email and –yes– even good old fashioned snail mail to protest. Save TNLOCK campaigns were plentiful to say the least! Well, it looks like all the diligent fan efforts have not gone to waste because a Chloe King movie may be in the works. The news was revealed at a Q&A panel at the Television Critics Association press tour.

And, thanks to HitFix.com, here’s the exciting scoop:

“One of the things about ‘Chloe King’ is we loved and are on the verge of putting a movie into development, so us, we always look at the intellectual property that we’re capitalizing on and making sure there’s opportunities for even more storytelling.” – Michael Riley, ABC Family President

Nothing has been officially confirmed yet but the fact that it was even mentioned is a positive sign for Chloe King supporters everywhere! After all, the beloved summer series ended with a handful of mind-blowing cliffhangers so a movie would allow fans to finally have some peace of mind by learning what actually happened to Brian after Chloe gave him the Mai kiss of death and to find out if Jasmine and Valentina were still alive!

So tells us: On a scale of 1 to 10 meows, how you thrilled at the thought of a Nine Lives of Chloe King movie?!

Ben was a pleasure to interview (nothing new there), and he didn’t hold back when we put him on the spot with some juicy questions. Watch the video below and find out which Chloe King character he would have saved during the intense slash heartbreaking finale…and who he’ll be kissing under the mistletoe this year.

How funny is it that Ben requested socks for Christmas? Troian Bellisario from Pretty Little Liars asked for the exact same thing on her holiday wishlist! It must be an ABC Family trend…

We also asked Ben Stone if he had any upcoming projects but he remained suspiciously mum about his future plans. The Nine Lives hottie is apparently being considered for the role of pompous yet brave Finnick Odair in the Hunger Games movie trilogy and — if the rumors are true — he’s probably been sworn to secrecy about any developments!

So, now for the moment of truth! What question would you have asked Benjamin Stone and, if opportunity arose, would you kiss him under the mistletoe!

ABC Family’s supernatural drama, The Nine Lives of Chloe King ended with so many terrifying cliffhangers and the catalyst behind this series of unfortunate events could be wrapped up using one word: Zane.

Remember Zane? He seemed like a nice guy at first but his true evil colors emerged in the Chloe King season 1 finale. The damn traitor poisoned Valentina, stabbed Jasmine, and helped orchestrate Chloe’s second death (which inevitably led to Brian kissing her and, thus, dying himself). Then, he dropped a major bombshell on Alek by telling him that they’re brothers. Ugh — Zane definitely didn’t rank high on our list of favorite people.

However, the actor who portrayed him — Daniel Sharman — is beyond talented and always involved in the most amazing projects. And now that he’s no longer wrecking lives on Chloe King, David is living dangerously on other shows.

In fact, one of his upcoming roles is on MTV’s Teen Wolf (whose star Colton Haynes appeared as a Jackal on Chloe King)! According to TV Guide Magazine, he’ll be playing a lacrosse teammate of Scott’s, and Alpha Derek’s dangerous new pet project.

So, are you excited to see Daniel Sharman play a non-jerk? Or would you rather see what Zane had in store for everyone on The Nine Lives of Chloe King?

Grey Damon in "Colors"

Grey Damon, who played Chloe King’s human crush on The Nine Lives of Chloe King, will soon be starring on The CW’s addictive new series, The Secret Circle. However, The Secret Circle won’t be returning January 5th so, while we wait for Grey to get his santeria on as a dark witch on the rise, here’s a glimpse at his sweet, affectionate side!

Check him out as Lily Halpern’s love interest in her music video for “Colors”:

It’s definitely strange to see Grey growing cozy with any girl other than Mai leader Chloe  …but we’ll take as much of him as we’re given!

On a scale of one to ten purrs, how cute does Grey Damon look in this music video? Tell us in the comments!

Yes, that’s right. Brian Rezza may have received the Chloe King kiss of death in the Nine Lives season finale, but Chloe’s boo is exchanging kitty hats for witch powers on the CW’s newest addicting series!

Grey (who’s also starred on Friday Night Lights and True Blood) will first appear on the show in episode 10 and will be playing a character named Lee Labeque. According to TVLine, Lee is “a sexy and mysterious twentysomething grifter type with a lot of confidence” and has a “hint of danger about him.” Apparently, Faye Chamberlain (one of the main bad-ass witches of TSC) will be intrigued by his Santeria background and interest in dark magic.

His new role sounds amazing! We definitely will be tuning in for The Secret Circle to catch Grey Damon in action as a male witch!

The rebooted thriller finds a group of teens (called Wolverines) who are trying to protect their town from invading foreign soldiers. The Wolverines take refuge in the woods and begin their plan of attack. With her martial arts skills and acting prowess, Alyssa definitely sounds like she fits right in!

And because we just can’t enough of all things Mai, we jumped at the opportunity to interview the talented actress behind the Mai’s blonde uniter—Skyler Samuels. We asked her to dish on her initial reaction to the finale and Chloe’s growth throughout Nine Lives season 1. Watch below and find out what she revealed:

We love how Skyler enjoyed filming the fun photo booth scene in episode 1.10 because we certainly enjoyed watching it! (Um, hello–super cute Chalek moment!)

So, what’s one question YOU would ask Skyler Samuels about the epic TNLOCK finale? Tell us in the comments!

On The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Alyssa Diaz wows viewers as Mai warrior Jasmine, who roundhouse kicks evil Jackals and assassins right where it hurts. But, in Shark Night 3D, Alyssa faces a different kind of beast–sharks! Below is an excerpt from her Q&A with Interview magazine. Find out what gives her the heebie jeebies!

Moderator: What’s your greatest fear?
Alyssa Diaz: Snakes and sharks!
Moderator: Do you have any special shark-fighting methods?
Alyssa Diaz: A bloody Mary and some kung-fu action should do the trick.
Moderator: If the Jaws shark had to go up against a shark in Shark Night 3D, who do you think would win?
Alyssa Diaz: Shark Night 3D. Our sharks are more brutal and vicious!
