#Aadila Dosani

[pluckysidekick]

I came across this recently - an interview with the wonderful Aadila Dosani (Amanda Bobbsey) on the Tumblr @entertainment blog from 2021. In it she states that “every member of the Drew Crew can sing,” that “they have the voice of angels,” and they can “belt out show tunes like Idina Menzel’s spirit animals!” She then calls for a “Musical Episode, anyone?!”

Alas, I don’t believe we’ll get a musical episode in the final season (although they sort of look like they’re about to break into song in the photo above).

I humbly submit the next best thing, my musical theater AU fic, No One Mourns the Wicked. If you haven’t read it, the Drew Crew put on a musical - “Wicked”, which originally starred Idina Menzel (who won a Tony for it). It’s also got a supernatural mystery that generally follows Season 1 of Nancy Drew, but with many twists and turns that entwine it with the musical plot. And of course Nace - lots of Nace.

You can read it with the knowledge that the crew can really sing. So when Ace is singing the oh so romantic lyrics to “As Long As You’re Mine” to Nancy, you can imagine him legit singing (swoon). I hope you give it a try if you haven’t already!

A Picture of Her (2023, Michael Robison)

[zonetrente-trois]

“As a kid growing up in Calgary, Akilla would occasionally follow the crime-fighting adventures of the Bobbsey Twins through their books. They were published by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, the same company that gave us the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew and Tom Swift.“

Entertainment Spotlight: Aadila Dosani

Canadian actress Aadila Dosani stars in The CW’s Nancy Drew as Amanda Bobbsey, one half of the Bobbsey Twins. Originally from Calgary, Alberta, Aadila was the only female member of the University of Toronto’s champion rugby team. Aadila is perhaps best known for her role in the mini-series, Unspeakable. In 2014 she received an AMPIA (Alberta Media Production Industries Association) Nomination for ‘Best Performance by an Actress’ for her role in Double Booked. Aadila sat down with us to discuss playing Amanda Bobbsey and the making of Nancy Drew.

Do you have any headcanons for Amanda Bobbsey?

If I had to choose one word to describe Amanda, it would be “curious.” Amanda has such a zest for life and hopes that she and Gil can have a better life. When I started prepping all things Amanda, the one thing that kept coming up was that she wanted to experience life and see the world. She didn’t grow up in a traditional manner; she and Gil always had to fend for themselves, so she would always dream that there had to be something better out there for them. She is a consummate dreamer. She wanted to travel. SO—what no one knows is that I actually bought a globe and pinned places on it around the world where Amanda wants to travel, which is so funny because the show may or may not allude to this Dora the Explorer side to her!

What’s a mystery in your life that you’d like Nancy Drew’s help to solve?

I would LOVE Nancy Drew’s help to solve “The Mystery of the Missing Socks.” Does the dryer really eat them up? Is there a sock mouse in the house? I cannot, for the life of me, figure it out!

What’s a fact about the making of Nancy Drew that fans would be surprised to find out?

Not so much a fun fact about the making-of, but did you know that every member of the Drew Crew can sing? They have voices of angels! It is insane! Not only are they so incredibly skilled at bringing their characters to life in the fullest of ways, but they can also belt out show tunes like Idina Menzel’s spirit animals! Musical Episode, anyone?!

Do you have a favorite Bobbsey Twin moment or scene (so far)?

ALL OF THEM. I have to say I love Praneet Akilla (who plays Gil Bobbsey). He is now my forever brother. We instantly clicked when we met (which was a year before we both found out we were playing The Bobbsey Twins). Fun fact, we are both from the same hometown of Calgary, AB. So we already had that innate connection. I truly love exploring our relationship because even though we are twins, we are two completely different humans. It is such a treat to explore a twinning relationship as an actor—so rare and so full of layers. If I am honest, I loved Episode 9, “The Bargain of the Blood Shroud,” because we were really allowed to explore our relationship and dynamic. Without saying too much, you really get a feel for how much Gil and Amanda rely on each other.

If you could host your own game/reality show, what kind of show would it be?

Thanks for taking the time, Aadila! Catch Nancy Drew on Thursdays on the CW.

So my heart felt like it literally stopped when I was scrolling in my Instagram feed and came upon Kennedy’s latest post.

Icing on the cake is Aadila (Amanda’s) comments

OMG!

[paper-cuts-and-fresh-bruises]

Sooooo, was I disappointed at 2x13 being delayed an additional week? Yes. However, the little silver linings I found were 1. I found this out the day before I had expected the episode to air so it wasn’t like “oh great two weeks of torture” and more like “okay another week, I can deal with that I guess” and 2. I got to watch the promo again to get a better picture of the things we have to look forward to. One thing I noticed and took into more obsessive analysis of due to my natural stance as a Nace shipper being alive as ever (aka seeing how Nancy’s jealousy will manifest and further THAT plot) There’s like a brief second in the 2x13 promo where Nancy catches on fire, and presuming that Ace, amongst the other Drew Crew, is there from what I could tell then we could see how he responds to her being in danger, especially right before his eyes. Testing the waters if you will. Plus with regards to Amanda (which btw all respect to her she’s actually really nice, love the actress Aadila Dosani too), I wonder how they’ll really incorporate her perspective because I mean she’s gonna notice SOMETHING. Aside from that, the episode looks like it’s gonna be interesting all round.

Oh also to add, looks like we’ll have more instances of Nancy and Ace not knowing personal space (maybe with some added interesting interactions in terms of conversation), or at least being in many a scene together from the shots I could get by having to quick pause the promo (I’ll add these below if possible). Anyways apologies, I do genuinely watch the show for more than just my ships, but there’s no denying that when I see them I will fawn over them to an addictive level, which I should probably get under control but likely won’t.

If there’s anything anyone else wants to add, please do. Other than that stay safe everybody, at the very least till the next episode of Nancy Drew.

[mischiefblues]

aadila dosani, the actress who plays amanda bobbsey just landed a new role! very happy for her and hope everything turns out well.

[buffyfan145]

“Nancy Drew” on The CW has cast the Bobbsey Twins, which is also another children’s book series that’s owned by the same publisher as hers, “The Hardy Boys”, “Tom Swift”, and more. Aadila Dosani will play Amanda Bobbsey and Praneet Akilla will be her twin brother Gil. So we are getting more book characters like they said at NYCC.

[co-superman]

Stratemeyer icons, the Bobbsey Twins, have been added to Nancy Drew season 2.

Originally known as Nan and Bert Bobbsey, the CW iterations will be Amanda and Gil.

Played by Aadila Dosani and Praneet Akilla.

Page 6: Since the start of his career Justin Timberlake has endured his fair share of scandals but after welcoming his second son with wife Jessica Biel over the summer and celebrating his 40th birthday, he is confessing that he feels immense guilt about the past and he won't be making the same mistakes in the future -- Justin's done some soul-searching and accepts that he's wronged a lot of people over the years with his own terrible mistakes and he says he's still a work in progress, but step one has been to stand up and admit he's hurt too many women -- in addition to a boozy night out with his Palmer costar Alisha Wainwright in 2019 and his part in the now-infamous Nipplegate incident with Janet Jackson at the 2004 Super Bowl, Justin recently came under fire again due to the documentary Framing Britney Spears which showed him exploiting his breakup from Britney Spears to help his solo career -- Justin's learned from his mistakes and has a lot more sensitivity about the impact of his actions on other people and that's the big difference between the Justin of today and his old, immature self and that self-awareness was evident in an emotional statement that he posted apologizing to both Britney and Janet for the errors in his ways -- his words drew praise from his wife Jessica who says he's come a long way as a husband, a father and more importantly, a human being

Page 7: Wendy Williams is on the prowl for a new man and he's got to be husband material and she is ready for a serious commitment -- Wendy's been staying up until all hours of the night checking out guys online and on exclusive dating apps and she wants someone age-appropriate, fun, kind, independent and of course has no history of cheating -- she's feeling very optimistic and even buying new perfume and clothes and jewelry for all the dates she hopes to have once lockdown lifts

* Texas native Matthew McConaughey is seriously considering throwing his hat in the ring to become the state's next governor -- he's been putting out feelers to see if he's got sufficient support and if enough donors are willing to write checks, he'd mount an aggressive run in 2022 -- he's already gotten the thumbs-up from his wife Camila Alves and their three kids -- at this point, he needs to see an actual path to winning because he's not interested in just making a protest statement; don't be fooled by his aw-shucks attitude, Matthew means business

* Now that Keeping Up With the Kardashians is coming to an end, the hunt is on for a new family to replace the clan and one reality pro is poised to nab the prize: Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna -- there's already been talk about Lisa picking up the torch and her family is camera ready, consisting of husband Harry Hamlin, and their daughters Delilah Hamlin who's dating Love Island's Eyal Booker and Amelia Hamlin who's dating Scott Disick

* Jennifer Aniston has always had a spiritual side but these days she is taking things to a whole new plane -- Jen has surrounded herself with psychics and has been doing Goddess Circles with the same group of close friends for 30 years, but now she's taking courses to learn to heal herself and be her own guru -- BFF Courteney Cox has been a big influence and Jen's learned a lot from Courteney, who's had a long-term interest in mediums, astrologists and horoscopes, and she's trying to fuse it all together into her own brand of spirituality -- Jen's had a lot of time alone, which has only deepened her questions about the universe and how she can make the most of her life and she's determined to find the answers

* Princess Eugenie is over the moon after welcoming her first child, a baby boy with businessman husband Jack Brooksbank but now the new mom is torn about taking time out from her royal responsibilities -- Eugenie would love to take a long break from everything and focus solely on raising her son however she knows deep down how much she's needed, especially since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are showing no signs of coming back -- as she weighs her options, Eugenie is looking to her multi-tasking cousin-in-law Duchess Kate for some inspiration because she's impressed by how Kate is able to juggle her official duties while raising three young kids

Page 28: Marriage isn't easy especially during a global health crisis but for Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard divorce is not an option -- Kristen said she and Dax at the start of the pandemic were at a point in their marriage where they definitely needed a little therapy brush-up and every couple of years they're being very antagonistic towards each other and they don't want that so they go back to therapy and figure out how they can serve their team goal better and it's been incredibly helpful and even in the toughest times they always have each other's back and they're committed to being each other's biggest support systems -- while their relationship may never be perfect, they're happy and love each other and that's what matters most

Page 29: Now that Tom Brady has won his seventh Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he has set his sights on the next prize: baby No. 3 with wife Gisele Bundchen -- they've been telling friends they hope to make an announcement by summer at the latest and Tom and Gisele have been super loved-up since leaving Boston and moving to Florida after the QB signed on with the Bucs and the change of scenery has worked wonders on their love life and put them in baby-making mode -- the duo, who recently bought a $17 million spread on Miami's exclusive Indian Creek Island, plan to build a luxury mansion there complete with a nursery and they hope to be all settled in when the new arrival comes -- they've never felt healthier or been happier

* Aaron Rodgers looked positively giddy when he revealed he had a fiancee, Shailene Woodley at the NFL Honors, but the QB is dreading the next step: bringing her home to meet his parents because it's no secret that Aaron's been estranged from them for years and the last thing he wants is for Shailene to get caught up in the drama -- Shailene wants Aaron to clear the air with his folks, but he's not ready to do that and he doesn't want to bring Shailene into a toxic environment

* It's only been two years since Miranda Lambert married Brendan McLoughlin but she's already itching for some alone time -- she's headed to Texas in April for her first concert in over a year and she's told Brendan he shouldn't come because it will be all work and no play but she really wants to get away from him for a while and after the pair's recent road trip together, Miranda is desperate for some space -- sometimes Miranda feels like she's living with a baby because Brendan whines and complains about life on her farm

Page 30: Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's romance is heating up fast, so much so that she's practically handed over the keys to her Calabasas estate and she loves having Travis sleep over and sometimes he'll stay the whole weekend -- he gets along famously with her children and Travis has been a friend of the family for years, so the kids have pretty much known him their whole lives and they'll do fun stuff together like hiking or playing video games and Travis loves making breakfast and showing off his pancake-flipping skills --Travis is spending so much time at Kourt's place that he's moved a bunch of his stuff in to make it easier for his kids Landon and Alabama with ex Shanna Moakler to visit him there -- everyone's convinced they'll be living together full-time before you know it

* Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were met with a flurry of well-wishes after they revealed they're expecting baby No. 2 -- the couple decided to wait until Meghan was safely into her second trimester to share the news and they only told a handful of family members before the public and they wanted to cherish this secret for as long as they could -- Harry and Meghan have been nesting at their Montecito mansion and have been busy prepping the nursery and making sure it's eco-friendly with energy-efficient lighting and they're keeping it as plastic-free as possible
