if cbvc was a treasure chest okay and it's programs were the treasure and with you i think
i think the next step would be its biggest and brightest jewel
lovely analogy thank you so much i mean just the amazing dancing and choreography the gripping
drama what is not to love so when we learned there was a brand new series of mini episodes called the
next step what if which looks at an alternate reality of the main show we were intrigued
as we all know a troop and rochelle united to disqualify themselves from dan's mania
i heard about summer getting invited to re-audition for dance mania and i was really mad
at her the first time because she banded the team but the truth is that i was also a little jealous
rochelle wanted to audition as a soloist and when she found out summer had an audition
michelle beat her to the punch securing herself a spot on dance mania but what if
rochelle never made it to the audition
what if some are auditioned as a soloist and made it to the finale of dance mania summer what summer
going up against her former team and winning season 13 thereby changing the trajectory of
all of their lives where does that leave them five years down the road yes we were i mean what if in
an alternate reality we were never twins and i was an only child no i meant we were intrigued about
the new series the next step what if but that would be interesting what if i was the only child
it's your boy max here with another edition of fomo and today we're going to be chatting to none
other than sage who plays summer in the next step hi sage hi max it's so great to be on max's fomo
welcome back to another episode of harvey's fomo today i'm going to be talking to the
absolutely wonderful sage who plays summer in the next step hello sage how are you
hello harvey i'm doing great it's lovely to be on harvey's fomo so how does sage fit into this
alternate reality of the next step what if basically the alternate reality in the next
steps what if means that you know all of our lives are turning out super different seeing what would
have happened if we made different decisions i end up beating the next step at series 13 at
dance mania and i go on to be this huge star and i forget about all my friends and now cleo is my
assistant and i'm rather nasty to her cleo i told you i wasn't to be disturbed i'm at the spa oh
sorry summer i just thought i had a small window to go over some urgent correspondence with you
uh but i can call back later you have me now all right uh jumping right in there's an invite from
rochelle who's rochelle oh you know rochelle she danced on a troop with you at the next step
nope not raining any bells now this series looks and feels very different could you
please explain a bit about that yes of course the next step what if is an alternate reality
and it's very different from the original next step uh it was filmed during lockdown so it
has a whole different feel definitely not the normal set that people see that's so exciting
would you say that summer's success has changed her summer's success has definitely changed her
and it has changed her for the worse i must say she's not that nice she seems rather self-absorbed
it is the opposite of what the original summer was and yeah frankly she's not very nice at all
i always instruct the housekeeping staff to put all your sunglasses
in the proper cases and set them on the dresser for you not there
uh maybe they put it in a drawer not in the drawers i checked the drawers
could they maybe be on your head
see cleo when you apply yourself you actually make yourself useful so given the choice if
you could play the character of summer in this alternate reality or the one in the actual main
show which one would you prefer to play well i have to say i do miss playing the original summer
it's been about a year and a bit since we filmed the original next step season seven
and filming the tns what if uh being this mean version of summer and controlling
version of summer really just made me feel a bit distanced from the original one and i
i miss her so i would have to say the original summer from the original next step that's just
great was there ever a point during filming where you missed being the old summer and just
wished you weren't an only child well you know of course during filming there was points
we are you talking about summer or how you're pretending not to be a twin with harvey
what can i say i just i'm missing
oh oh i'm so sorry don't don't cry no max max don't don't be sad don't
be sad it's okay i mean hey i'm here don't don't don't get all crying and
stuff are we we're gonna finish it together finish the interview together okay let's
wow max harvey it's so nice to have you both back thanks sage it feels good to be twins again
definitely i mean without max i'm just and harvey and that doesn't make sense sage our time is
up but before we let you go tell us where we can watch all of the episodes of the next step what if
