iPOP Alum Ava Jean Lands Role in the Reboot of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”


Los Angeles, CA, August 22, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Almost seven years ago, it was announced that a reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was in development with Monica Owusu-Breen, co-creator of the TV show Midnight, Texas. It was said that the new show would be “contemporary, building on the mythology of the original.” That project never made it into production – and earlier this year, it was revealed that we’re going to be getting a Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival instead, with Sarah Michelle Gellar returning to the role of Buffy Summers. iPOP! alum Ava Jean (Law & Order: SVU) is also in the cast.

Ava Jean’s career skyrocketed after being discovered at iPOP!, the twice annual talent showcase event. She first appeared in the family tv show, “Child-ish” (under her full name, Ava Jean Cutlip) and has since appeared in 5 movies and the TV show, “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”

Ava Jean is represented by Haley Nelson, of Evolve Artists Agency, who is a previous recipient of the iPOP! Agent of the Year Award. Ava Jean has 3 other films and television shows in development.

St. Louis Author Greg Stuart Debuts Suspense Novel “Lifeline”

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Greg Stuart, a lifelong resident of St. Louis, has published his debut novel, "Lifeline," a suspense thriller centered on a man who can deliver messages from the recently deceased to their grieving families.

The book follows Damian Hunter, who gains this ability after a near-death experience, per the press release. For a time, the gift serves as a source of comfort for families who receive final words from lost loved ones. The story turns when Hunter is given a narrow window to deliver a message to what the announcement describes as one of the most feared people in the country. He sets out on the errand uncertain whether he can even be believed, let alone survive the attempt, with what the publisher describes as time running out and opposition closing in.

"Lifeline" was released by Newman Springs Publishing for purchase at retail locations and digital platforms including Apple iBooks, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. No detailed author biography accompanied the announcement beyond Stuart’s St. Louis roots and this being his first novel.

For Studio CarryOnHarry, the premise — a reluctant messenger forced to confront the most dangerous person imaginable — is a familiar thriller setup, and the real test will be whether Stuart’s execution gives it the tension the concept promises.

New Book from Relationship Coach Kat O’Connor Tackles the Everyday Friction of Blended Families

New Book from Relationship Coach Kat O’Connor Tackles the Everyday Friction of Blended Families

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

Kat O’Connor, a relationship coach who has spent more than a decade working with singles, couples and blended families, has released a new guide for stepparents, "Life in the Blender: A Stepparent’s Guide to Blending a Family," published through Newman Springs Publishing.

The book is aimed at a specific, common problem: what happens after the wedding, when two households and two sets of family habits are supposed to become one. O’Connor’s book focuses on the friction points that tend to come up in that process, including loyalty conflicts between children and parents, disagreements over household boundaries, and communication breakdowns between stepparents and stepchildren, according to the announcement.

O’Connor holds a degree in sociology and is a certified relationship coach. The announcement also draws on her own history: a divorce in 2006, nine years as a single parent, and the formation of her own blended family in 2019. The publisher describes the book as combining that personal experience with her coaching background, working through real-world scenarios rather than abstract advice.

"My mission has always been to help families transition from conflict and confrontation back to communication and conversation," O’Connor said in the announcement. "This book represents years of coaching experience combined with my personal journey through blended family life, and I hope it becomes an invaluable companion for anyone seeking to build a stronger, more connected household."

According to the publisher, the book walks through strategies for building trust across family lines, setting boundaries, and developing relationships between stepparents and stepchildren, with the stated aim of helping readers move from tension toward what the announcement calls a more cohesive family unit. It’s worth noting the title has been used before: a 2006 memoir by singer Sandi Patty, also called "Life in the Blender," covered similar territory about blended families from a personal and faith-based perspective, though it’s a separate, unrelated book.

"Life in the Blender" is available at bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees a crowded shelf here — blended-family guidance is not new territory — but the appeal of a book built on a coach’s own client work rather than pure theory is real, and worth watching for how it lands with readers navigating that transition themselves.
