I had the chance to sit down with Katie Stevens to talk about her journey from American Idol to The Bold Type and now stepping into the role of Cora in Hallmark’s Providence Falls.

We dive into:

• What life looked like after American Idol
• Her favorite memories from The Bold Type
• Why she said “yes” to Providence Falls
• Behind-the-scenes stories from the lake, zipper, and chair scenes
• Working with Lachlan Quarmby, Lucie Guest, and Siobhan Devine on romance and direction
• Filming in Ireland and what those real locations gave her performance
• What she learned from Joanna García Swisher
• The biggest gift Providence Falls gave her as an actor and a person
• And, so much more!!!

Plus, Katie plays a round of rapid fire where she reveals the song she’d sing if she returned to American Idol, who she’d duet with, and which past project she’d bring back for a reunion.

If you loved Katie in The Bold Type, Faking It, or now in Providence Falls, this conversation goes deeper into her artistry, her choices, and the stories that have shaped her.
