Cassie Scerbo Talks About A Possible Olympic Crossover On 'Make It Or Break It'

Now that the Vancouver Olympics are over, our eye is on the 2012 summer games in London. The question is, will we see a Make It Or Break It real-time Olympic competition?

"I don't know for sure what the writers have have in store, I don't want to give out any of the wrong information, but I'm pretty sure that's what they're doing," Cassie Scerbo, who plays Lauren Tanner on the show told us when we asked about the possibility of the Olympics on the show playing out at the same time as the real games.

"It's a really long road to the Olympics," she continues. "It's usually not just one year of training...I think we're all just really excited to see where it's going to go."
If you haven't been watching, the show, which was recently picked up for a second season, centers around four world-class gymnasts juggling a demanding training schedule with off-mat relationship drama and the intense pressure to be #1.

"You don' t see any of us with bulimia issues or anorexia issues or problems," she says. "On the show we're literally just in the gym a ton of hours a day and just training hard, that's our passion -- I think it's an amazing thing for teens to see."

Keep reading for more of our interview with Cassie and catch a new episode of MIOBI, 'The Only Thing We Have To Fear...' tonight on ABC Family at 9 PM ET.

 

We Investigate The Season Finale Of 'Make It Or Break It'... Because We're Dorks

The season finale of Make It Or Break It will air March 8 and ABC Family just released some very interesting photos from the episode.

For starters, it looks like Payson Keeler, played by Ayla Kell, is back in action. We also get a clue as to what Sasha was talking about when he said they were going rogue. Since Kaylie and Emily didn't get to go to China for a meet, it looks like they've invited the Chinese team to Boulder. Here's what we've picked up from the photos.

Payson is doing gymnastics again. Looks like the surgery was a success -- why else would she be in her team uniform at the meet? Two weeks seems like a pretty suspicious recovery time, but whatever. We'll go with it.

Lauren gets injured. In the photos, she is leaning on someone and holding her leg while grimacing. We bet she falls off the balance beam -- her signature event where she does the hardest elements.

 

Team Kaylie Or Team Lauren?

We're pretty excited about the next episode of Make It Or Break It. Not only is the gymnastics drama heating up, but it looks like Kaylie (Josie Loren) and Carter (Zach Burr) are going to kiss and make up.

But it won't be smooth sailing for the couple, we talked to Cassie Scerbo and she assured us that the Kaylie-Carter-Lauren love triangle is definitely not over, even though it seems like it is.

"Never say never," she told us about a possible second Carter/Lauren hook up.

She also spilled that she doesn't think the show touched enough on how her character was in love with Carter long before her BFF Kaylie was interested in him and that Lauren still feels incredibly betrayed.

 

Cassie Scerbo Talks About Working With Her Boyfriend

Real-life couple Cassie Scerbo and Cody Longo do NOT play boyfriend/girlfriend on Make It Or Break It. Far from it. So far this season, Cody's character has kissed Payson (Ayla Kell) and even flirted with Kaylie (Josie Loren).

We talked to Cassie last month and asked her character, Lauren Tanner, would get a love interest anytime soon.

"Lauren's prince charming is Carter," she says, talking about Zach Abel's character on the show. "If anyone out there knows that amazing feeling of having your first crush and being so in love with a boy, that's Lauren with Carter."

"In real life, Nicky Russo, who is Cody Longo, is my real boyfriend," she continues. "That's my real love interest, that's Cassie Scerbo's love interest. But Lauren's love interest is definitely Carter."

So what's it like when Ayla or Kayle shoot a romantic scene with her boyfriend? "We totally laugh about it," she says. "We all know each others' boyfriends and girlfriends -- we all hang out with each other on the weekend. You would think it would be so hard to deal with, but the girls and I are so close, we honestly just laugh about it."

Keep reading for Cassie's favorite Valentine's Day memory with Cody. And check out new photos from tonight's new episode below. Looks like Payson is going to undergo that risky back surgery after all (or maybe it's just a scan...or worse, a dream sequence).


 

'Make It Or Break It' and 'Secret Life' Score New Seasons

ABC Family has renewed Make It Or Break It and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Both shows will begin a new season this summer (confusing, guess the new episodes right now are technically still part of the first season).

Naturally, the stars of each show are psyched about the news. "MIOBI season 2 pick up!!!" tweeted Cassie Scerbo. "So blessed, congrats to my girls and our amazing team! xoxoxo."

"Thank u all for watching and supporting us seriously!" Secret Life's Francia Raisa tweeted. "Its because of u that we're on the air and successful! I love u guys! Ur amazing!"

As you may have guessed, we're completely addicted to MIOBI and were beyond thrilled when the Make It Or Break It Volume One: Extended Edition landed in our mailbox last week. The two-disc DVD came out on Tuesday and features the first ten episodes plus some juicy special features including the stunt double and casting featurettes below.

 

A New 'Make It or Break It' Episode Premieres Tonight

Last Monday, the 'Make It or Break It' girls returned to ABC Family with their highest numbers yet. We saw gymnasts doing flips and teenagers flipping out, but things will really heat up this week.

Tonight, "Follow The Leader" airs at 9PM EST. Even though Payson (Ayla Kell) is still devastated that she can't compete because of her injury, she remains a rock for the other girls. In fact, the girls look up to her so much that Payson's offered an assistant coaching job -- but she shoots it down in seconds. Hm, what's going on there?

JONAS' Nicole Anderson also returns tonight as the trouble-making mean girl Kelly Parker. She's out to stir up controversy this week and we're stoked to see what goes down.

Side note, we love how BFF the girls are on and off set. Last night, Josie Loren tweeted "Had an awesome time out on the town last night with my MIOBI family =)" Then Chelsea Hobbs wrote back "Was fun love ya:)" Aww.

Check out a clip from tonight's episode below.
