Elizabeth Gillies watched 'Victorious' with Ariana Grande after 'Quiet on Set' documentary

Gillies and Grande revisited their Nickelodeon past and “reprocessed everything.”

Elizabeth Gillies, known for her role in 'Dynasty,' recently opened up about revisiting her time on the Nickelodeon series 'Victorious' alongside her former co-star Ariana Grande. 

In an interview with Variety, Gillies, 30, shared that they reevaluated their experiences after watching the docuseries 'Quiet on Set,' which delves into behind-the-scenes dynamics of popular children's shows.

"We watched it together," Gillies explained, "and then we got together later that week or the next week, and we sort of broke the whole thing down and talked about it, and reprocessed everything together."

The actress emphasized the importance of reflecting thoughtfully as adults on their time on the show, acknowledging that new insights can sometimes alter one's memories.

"It’s tricky when you look back on something incredibly positively, and then you learn a lot of information and also revisit things as an adult through a new lens that reframe the memories in your mind a little bit, or cloud them, or taint them — maybe rightfully so," Gillies said.

She also highlighted the supportive bond among the cast members, including Grande, during this introspective period. Gillies suggested measures to protect child actors on set, advocating for more parental involvement and psychological evaluations before children commit to acting.

The docuseries 'Quiet on Set,' which premiered earlier this year, has sparked conversations about the treatment of child actors on set, featuring allegations against industry figures like Dan Schnieder, who was the showrunner for 'Victorious.'
