Allie Hayes is heading towards the spotlight.

Mika Abdalla shared insight into what fans can expect from her character in season two of the beloved series Off Campus, which will see Allie and Dean Di Laurentis (Stephen Kalyn) take center stage. 

While Allie was the eternally supportive, dramatic theater major best friend to Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) in season one, she will face more challenges in the next installment.

“It’s a lot more emotionally turbulent,” Abdalla told Vogue India of season two in an interview published on September 1. “So you lose some of that fun, best-friend energy.”

Nevertheless, the Allie Hayes fans adore hasn’t gone far.

“I check in to ensure I’m hitting important character beats,” the 26-year-old continued, “but still incorporating the parts of Allie that people love.”

One thing that will remain the same? Allie’s fan-coveted, long curly locks. After all, it was Abdalla’s own hair.

“It’s just my haircut,” she revealed of the much talked about hairstyle. “I’ve had it since I moved to LA.”
