When The Deadbolt Breaks

A New State of Georgia with Raven Symone

Also starring Majandra Delfino (Roswell) Georgia's best fiend Jo and accomplished acting veteran Loretta Devine as the loveable Aunt Honey, State of Georgia promises a new ABC family world of inspiration and hope as Raven Symone returns to regular series television.

Ahead of the June 29 series premiere of State of Georgia at 8:30/7:30c, TheDeadbolt got into a Georgia state of mind with Raven Symone to learn more about her new character, working with the cast, why Symone took the role of Georgia, and how Raven felt about recently becoming a trending topic on Twitter.

THE DEADBOLT: How easy was it for you to get into the character of Georgia since you're originally from Atlanta?

RAVEN SYMONE: Well, actually, Georgia and I would have grown up in different parts of Atlanta, so it was actually interesting being able to play someone - I guess she and I would have been a little bit at different ends of the school. It was fun, actually, getting to play that character and blending it in to who I am now and finding a happy medium. I'm no longer mad at the cheerleaders that I grew up with, because now it works for Georgia.

THE DEADBOLT: How did it feel to recently be a trending topic on Twitter? Do you pay attention to that stuff?

SYMONE: Everyone in my camp does. I was asleep when it happened. I love my twitterers for making me trendy for that one moment in time, and hopefully I can stay trendy for many moments to come.

THE DEADBOLT: What did Loretta Devine bring to the cast dynamic as Aunt Honey?

SYMONE: Aunt Honey, she is the scene stealer. She has the lines that I just have to stare and just break sometimes. She's also the voice of reason and she's just a sweetheart. It seems I can't help but to love Aunt Honey. When you see the show, you'll see her with these girls within her apartment are absolutely more sane than she is, but she has a ray of light.

THE DEADBOLT: How would you compare the role of Georgia with some other roles from your past?

SYMONE: She is a strong-willed individual, she could be flighty at times, but at the same time she is very gallant and she knows that her core is the passing moment and that's probably a characteristic in characters that I choose all the time because it’s very important for females to stay confident and to go off and venture into the world, but to come back knowing that you have family to come back to. I think some forget to venture and then they just get stuck; because you have to go and enjoy yourself.

A vision of Doom .. .. When the Deadbolt Breaks... God lights up a smoke in a flash of lightning. Inhaling a hollow smokey autumn wind of leaf and ash.

Eyes and sweat gleam with a second strike of Gods light as it cracks with the triggered hammer, and it is done. God's not watching anymore. Justice of a torn heart rips through the soul and veins of the assailant, as does the wet breath of un-watching faith, pulling the petals from their thorny stems across the threshold and her face.... .. ..
