Huge Finale: Is Will Going to Let Her Guard Down?

Nikki Blonsky

While fans of Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky may have been surprised to see her on Huge with no makeup, scraggly hair, and a cynical and sarcastic personality, the 21-year-old says she's "never felt more pretty in a role." Blonsky spoke to TVGuide.com about how she brings Will to life, and how Will's feelings for Ian (Ari Stidham) and keeping a secret for Amber (Hayley Hasselhoff) will affect them in Monday's season finale.

Huge's Hayley Hasselhoff: There's More Boy Trouble Ahead

Getting your heart broken is no fun, but it may just be what Huge's Amber needed.

Last week, Camp Victory's resident pretty girl — though she doesn't think so herself — was dumped by hunky counselor George (Zander Eckhouse) barely two trysts into their secret relationship. She ended the episode in tears — a good wake-up call, says Hayley Hasselhoff, who plays Amber.

"She came to camp to lose weight and I think now she realizes she got off-track because she focused all her time and energy on this boy that she shouldn't really be with," Hasselhoff tells TVGuide.com. "Her whole fling with George brings her ...

VIDEO: Nikki Blonsky's Dream Role Has Nothing to Do with Singing

Nikki Blonsky

What is Hairspray and Huge star Nikki Blonsky's dream job? Not a guest spot on Glee, surprisingly, but a remake of Murder, She Wrote.

"I know a lot of kids don't know what it is, but I love Murder, She Wrote and I love Angela Lansbury. She's my favorite actress," the 21-year-old told TVGuide.com at the Camp Rock 2 premiere.

Huge (Monday, 9/8c, ABC Family)
In this episode, set on "movie night" at Camp Victory, Nikki Blonsky sings. (As any fan of the movie Hairspray knew she ultimately would — although some probably expected it to happen in the talent-show episode.) As the summer crushes escalate in this diverting series, Will (Blonsky) channels her jealousy over Ian's crush on Hayley into writing a love song. Will it be music to the campers' ears? read more

Huge's Zander Eckhouse: The "Love Rhombus" Gets More Complex

Zander Eckhouse

A summer camp romance is as traditional as summer camp itself — but what if that romance is with an authority figure?

"I don't know if it's as common as [one between campers], but I'm sure it's happened," Huge star Zander Eckhouse tells TVGuide.com. "You have to walk that fine line. Can you? Can't you? It's definitely tough."

Eckhouse is learning just how tough it is as his character, George, a newly hired counselor and fitness coach, is wrestling with his feelings for a camper, Amber (Hayley Hasselfhoff), at the weight-loss camp. The feeling is mutual, of course, but ... read more

A Show with Huge Potential

Huge - Hayley Hasselhoff

The fat hits the campfire quite literally in Huge, as ABC Family tackles subject matter as tricky as it is weighty and comes up with a winner. This appealing and emotionally engaging series about life in a weight-loss summer camp comes with high expectations, having been co-created by Winnie Holzman, who enthralled a generation with the short-lived but long-remembered My So-Called Life.

Working with her daughter Savannah Dooley (with Holzman's husband Paul Dooley appearing ...

Huge Executive Producer: "You Don't Need to be Fat to Relate" to Series

Huge

ABC Family's Huge takes place at a weight-loss camp, but executive producer Winnie Holzman says, "You don't need to be fat or have a weight issue to relate to it." The series (Mondays at 9/8c) follows a diverse group of teens. Willamina (Nikki Blonsky) is an outsider who sets out to gain weight to anger her parents, while Amber (Hayley Hasselhoff) is the camp's "golden girl" — with a lot less confidence than it appears. Although different from Holzman's previous shows My So-Called Life and Once and Again, Huge similarly focuses on the scariness of change as the characters struggle and try to figure out who they are.
