This is a big reunion for you all. What was the first thing you did when you saw one another? Adrianne: We actually see each other in L.A. all the time, but this is even better. Derek: This is an excuse to see each other where we used to hang out. Adrianne: Aw, where we all became friends. Derek: It feels like a high school reunion. Where would your characters be now, in 2015? Derek: Billy might be in a grave—I don't know. [Laughs] Adrianne: I think Tyra is literally following in the footsteps of Tami Taylor.
