The actress, who played Trina on the show, said that the virtual reunion lasted two hours and could have gone on for much longer!
“We could have been on there forever. I feel like we all just really enjoying everyone’s company,” Danielle said on her Adulting Like A Mother Father podcast.
Daniella later added, “One thing we talked about on the Zoom call was what are some things we hear about to this day in regards to our characters? Like Leon said they always ask, ‘Where’s your grandma?’ Matt said, ‘Where’s Rex?’ Ari said that everyone wants her to talk in her Cat voice or they say, ‘Why don’t you talk like that?’”
As for her character, Daniella explained, “People always wonder like why I’m not super annoying in person…they think I’m very different than Trina which is the point because we’re playing roles!”
The cast also took the time to thank fans for their support through the years. Listen to what they said!
The Victorious cast rings in the show’s 10-year anniversary with a virtual reunion!
The co-stars reunited via video chat on Zoom, and star Victoria Justice posted part of the call on Instagram on Friday (March 27).
Dan Schneider, creator of the Nickelodeon series, explained that the cast was supposed to meet up in person, but due of the current health crisis, they met up virtually instead.
“Oh my gosh, we love you guys!” Victoria said. “Thank you so much for supporting our show and after all these years, 10 years, it’s absolutely insane! We hope that you guys are staying home and staying safe and staying healthy. Sending you guys all our love in the world.”
Ariana wrote in the comments, “my heart is yelling. love you so much. the best night.â€
Can you believe it’s been 10 years since Victorious aired for the first time!?
Victoria Justice joined the rest of the cast in commemorating the special anniversary with some heartfelt messages and photos.
“10 years of Victorious!!! It’s actually a little crazy typing that, because in a lot of ways it feels like it was just yesterday. I’ll never forget how I cried at our very first table read. I cried because I was sooo frickin’ happy!!! This show changed my life & I’m so grateful I got to share it with this amazing, insanely talented group of people. We share memories together that I look back fondly on to this day & will always cherish,” Victoria wrote.
She added, “Thank you so much to all the fans who continue to love and support our show. Makes me real happy to see that it’s still enjoyed by so many of you. Thank you @danwarp for creating this magic ðŸ™ðŸ¼â™¥ï¸ðŸ™ðŸ¼. I love you guys!!! #grateful”
Ariana Grande also chimed in, writing, “i’m sorry for the mushiness but…. jus want to say how grateful i will always be for being on this show and for those years of my life. i couldn’t have spent my teenage years with a better, more funny, talented group of human beings. i really loved playing cat valentine (even though sometimes people think i actually still speak and act like that and her essence will lovingly haunt me til i die) …. i miss getting in trouble w my friends the school room and trying not to laugh when we weren’t supposed to on set. i even miss waking up with red hair dye stained pillows. thank u @danwarp and to my cast mates for some of the most special years of my life and for bringing all of us into each other’s lives. happy anniversary!”
The Victorious actress opened up to fans on Instagram on Friday (January 24).
“AM -> PM,” she captioned the two photos below. “Not gonna sugarcoat it, I’m spent. every bit of me.
becoming a mom is like a bootcamp that never ends, lol. physically, mentally, and emotionally I’m being tested daily. man, there are so many special moments I wouldn’t trade for absolutely anything, but I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t the hardest most rewarding job I’ve ever had.”
“Moms, you’re not alone,” she continued. “We’re not all polished instagram families that have it all figured out. I promise that when it is hard, I won’t pretend it’s not because that’s just not fair.”
“I’ll end with this because it just made me literally LOL,” she added. “@gaftonguy just asked me if I need him to pick anything up from Arizona or Hawaii. 💀.”
Daniella Monet and her fiance Andrew Gardner are parents to their 3-month-old son Gio.
