Elizabeth McLaughlin in "November Christmas" on CBS Sunday, Nov. 28th
Don't miss Elizabeth in the Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation.
November Christmas is the moving story of two families, a community, and the idea that Christmas doesn't have to come just once a year. This holiday story tells how neighbors come to help a family trying to cope with their young daughter’s illness. The story is narrated by the healthy adult daughter who shares her story with a group of children through a children’s book she has written and illustrated.
The father’s (John Corbett) unwavering love toward his sick little girl propels him to come up with a plan to move the clock: pushing up all the holidays. His unlikely ally is his neighbor, a quiet but perceptive farmer (Sam Elliott) who figures out the plan.
The two co-conspirators find they have something in common and join forces to bring the little girl and her brother Halloween in August, and Christmas in November, with the farmer enlisting friends in town to join the cause, and by doing so, mending his own old bridges of friendship.
You won’t want to miss this inspirational holiday fare on Sunday, November 28 on CBS.

About The Show
Everyone knows that the first day of school can make or break your high school career, and Cassie Mitchell is stuck in the most embarrassing, dorkifying first day ever. "Stuck" as in, she'll have to repeat her first day again, and again until she gets it right. Will practice make perfect? Or is Cassie doomed to get called on, called out, and passed over by her hot new crush for all eternity?
This could be Cassie's worst year ever - or the most amazing time of her life. She'll never know until she finds a way to escape her first day.
Elizabeth McLaughlin plays Sasha
A high school sophomore; most likely to become a lawyer and sue you; hobbies include shopping, boys, and pretty much just being perfect; extra curricular activities are mock trial, debate team, and tennis.
Cassie's younger sister, Sasha, is confident, uber-organized, trendy, and a classic overachiever. She seamlessly transitions into the popular crowd at their new school - but making it all look easy isn't as easy as it looks.

Alloy's First Digital Slate: 'First Day', 'Hollywood', 'Talent'
Bank & Reed sounds like a soldered old New York law firm, but in this case it’s the twosome of Josh Bank and Tripp Reed, the two Alloy Entertainment execs overseeing their newly formed digital division and its first official digital slate of three new original web series coming this summer and fall.The three series will release back-to-back, with the first up being, First Day, an original comedy series written by Alyssa Embree and starring Tracey Fairaway (Make It or Break It) and Elizabeth McLaughlin (The Clique) that “follows a seventeen-year-old girl who relives her first day at a new school over and over.” Well, original in that 1993’s Groundhog Day pre-dates most of the actors in this one. First Day is set to launch in late August with an 8-episode first season.
Following First Day is the mid-September release of Hollywood is like High School With Money, a web series adaptation of Zoey Dean’s New York Times bestselling novel of the same name. The 10-episode series centers on an “eager but naïve assistant who gets lessons on how to survive the cutthroat world of Hollywood politics from her boss’ queen bee teen daughter.”
The third is a hybrid between a scripted series and a music talent search reality show, dubbed Talent, which will launch its first of three phases later this fall. The narrative portion is another adaptation of a Zoey Dean story, this one about ” a young woman whose dreams of becoming a singer are dashed and rises from that disappointment by helping an unlikely girl become a superstar.” The goal for this one is fairly ambitious, and despite few details about its scale, Alloy says it aims to “discover the next pop music star.”
“This first wave of the AE digital slate appeals to the sweet spot that has made Alloy Entertainment a success – teen and twenty-something fans who are spending increasing hours online and who we expect will equally embrace our digital entertainment,” said Bank, who serves as Alloy Entertainment’s East Coast President.
Much like Alloy’s earlier exploits, like Private, into scripted web series, the new slate will make use of Alloy’s well established teen-heavy distribution footprint, driven mainly through AlloyTV, its premium, multi-platform digital entertainment network.
Alloy has been on tear with a recent string of hit teen-minded TV dramas like Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars, but can that success translate into digital dollars for these new shows that as of now are without any major sponsors attached. It’s likely however by launch time that some brand partners will come on board, as Neutrogena and Johnson & Johnson did with Private.

Girls Life Magazine
Girls Life magazine chatted with Elizabeth and found "this super-talented chica is normal beyond belief!"
She's a Clique follower. The books, that is. She's a huge fan. She puts others first. Although she doesn't think that Massie always does. She's a fashionista. She loved all the clothes she wore in the film, but alas, didn't get to keep any of them. She's a slumber party pro. During filming, the girls used to sleep over in each others' rooms. She forgoes gossip. "The best thing you can do is just look the other way because half of the stuff doesn’t even matter." She knows how to have fun. Elizabeth is one of the goofiest people you will ever meet. She shops till she drops. And if this fashion thing doesn't work out, she can be a stylist. She has phobias. She's afraid of house cats and robots. She can be herself. But she really loves 'Dylan' from "The Clique." She has amazing style. She can't live without her hats and scarves!
How is Elizabeth just like you and me? -

Teen From Zephyrhills On "Ugly Betty"
Elizabeth was a huge fan of the television show “Ugly Betty” long before she got the part of a leader-of-the pack Mean Girl. This role marks a milestone for her, since she’d been thinking and dreaming about being a professional actress since she was 5, when she started taking voice and dance lessons.
In the episode, she and her classmates visit Mode, the fictional fashion magazine where Betty works as an assistant, to learn about an upcoming fashion show. Betty is appalled by the message being sent to the kids and suggests putting real women on the runway instead of stick-thin models. America Ferrera, who plays Betty, was helpful to Elizabeth during shooting, providing her with advice on how to handle the pressures of stardom.Source: Tampa Bay Tribune
