Alex H was one of my favorites from Laguna. You could tell she was just so genuine, and really valued her friendship with Kristin. They really balanced each other out, so happy to see she’s doing well after all of these years!

She was one of my faves too. It was annoying that they didn't show much of her life. It may it seem like she was always in Kristine business lol but glad she got to clear things up here
Alex had a level of self-awareness and maturity as a teen, that alot of adults don't have. It was so impressive when I was a teen and rewatching it now she still has that same maturity!
Kristen and Alex’s (Lauren) friendship was my favorite. They had this amazing chemistry of fun and reason…

@@theycallmedopeness I know me too I think the way Alex M came after her was so wrong. Wasn’t she after Jason the whole time he was with Jessica? Not saying what Jessica did was ok but that whole situation I was like am I missing something? Haha this is all fresh since I just rewatch on Netflix 😆
Always loved Kristen and Alex's friendship...they were so funny together plus with Jessica too...
“When Steven said “Sam is so hot.” I was cracking up so hard. 😂I love Stephen, he’s so funny and ICONIC. 😂😂😂Hoosi looks so pretty.

She should’ve been. Maybe they didn’t because they knew she wouldn’t be in the center of any drama.
Aw you can tell Kristen misses her a bunch. She was genuinely so happy.
I'm so interested in them going into more detail about season 2. Jessica and Jason. Alex M and Jason. Lauren and Jason. Kristins trip to SF to see Steven. Wha was real?? What wasnt?

Same! I like the show but I thought they were gna kinda talk about everything going on not just them, It'll be more interesting for season 2 since their relationship isn't as big of plot as the first season but I do hope we get the bts of Jason and all his women lol. I do believe he is going to be on they had a pic with him. Im also wondering if Kristin and Jessica are still friends, It seems like no but that scene when Kristin dropped everything to be with her after Jason made her cry was so sweet! hope its not just an MTV thing. They should do it kinda like Whitney did watch it and react
The fact Alex H never got a title card in the intro is criminal.

I knoooowww! Whyyyy??? I just remembered back in the day I also wondered this! She was in all the episodes and was the most funny! The “fiesta” idea was so good and hilarious!

Alex H was one of my favorites in the show. She just seemed the most real and care free..I'm surprised she wasn't considered a main character. She was so funny!
This was so great! I was way too old when Laguna aired (I am 54 now), but I just loved the cinematography (I was living in the Pocono Mts of PA and in a bad marriage at the time.) So after the first episode, I was hooked! It was such an escape for me! Love Kristin and Stephen so much and having Alex H (Lauren) on was so nice. After all the fame Kristin and Stephen have had, you could really feel the genuine friendship come through of old high school friends where you can just be your true self around. Lauren had and still has such a nice, laid back vibe and looks so pretty. It was like seeing and old HS friend after 20 years for me. Thank you and love this podcast so much! Especially when it's on video!

I love Kristin and Alex (Lauren) friendship. They were definitely my favorite. I needed friends like them when I was in high school ❤
Poor Stephen is still hearing about sam 😂
Alex was and IS so awesome!! What a kind soul and so fun back in the Laguna days!! It's so great to see how everyone grew up!! I'm from c/o 2004 so I feel like I was going through everything the same time I was watching you guys go through it. Such nostalgia ❤️
So stoked they have listened and now are filming these such a better experience watching than just listening
Such a refreshing episode! I can totally see why Kristen and Alex were great friends! They're both laid back and fun!
I LOVED HER!! Her and Kristen balanced each other, true friendship 🥰🥰
Kristin is so animated. I love that about her ❤

Nice to see 'Alex' again...looks fantastic. When I go on Whitney's KZread channel for their reaction videos it blows my mind how many people in the chat that know Laguna and The hills are Belgian, German, Russian, Iranian, Australian, Saudi (!?!)...that shit was world wide for real. Also how fond their recollections are of the show.

The show was huge in México also! I am Mexican, All my friend saw it, I am 34 now! I hope they know! I am shocked they were paid so little, when MTV was everything in that era internationally! It was like Instagram or tiktok right know! We were happy they came to Cabo every Spring break!
Funny that you guys mentioned not knowing the show was being shown all over the world! I was in the Dominican Republic on a family vacation and my sisters and I found Laguna Beach and instantly fell in love with the show in our resort room haha.
bout time this pod cast exist!!! love Kristen and Steven working together on this and the plus side ..you guys aren't boring
I'm from Brazil and love the show! Loved Alex H and Kristen's friendship. So sad that they didn't stay close after High School but its good to see they reunited in this episode!
Seen all over the world...I loved Laguna and I'm from Trinidad. Great job guys, love this episode.
Steven is just so down to earth and genuine! Not saying that Kristin and Alex/Lauren aren’t, I think they are great too! I just feel like Steven just has this really sweet, genuine, very humble way about him! Still love the show!
So Alex and Kristin lived together for like 5 seconds when they finished Laguna Beach and moved to LA. They actually had a HUGE falling out (why they haven’t seen each other since 2006) and it’s so interesting to see them both talk about it and avoid it 😭😄
*THANK YOU BTTB FOR GETTING ALEX H ON FOR A VIDEO INTERVIEW* ... Alex H was my fav and it's great to see and hear her thriving: super insightful, kind and funny person ... _Basically beautiful inside & out_ ... *Please make Alex H a regular!*
So cute how happy Kristen is to see her buddy :)
Kristin, thank you so much for asking the question of why Alex went by Alex. I've been wondering for so long!!!

Yep! Tuesday afternoon just been made. ❤
Their friendship was honestly the most fun to watch.
I loved this one so much ❤️
I love how It reflects the confidence between K Cav y Alex H. Kristen smiled the whole time.
This is the best!
She looks so good!!!! She was one of my favorites too!!! I can’t wait for season 2 i want to understand more of Jessica and Jason!
This makes me SOOOO HAPPY. Omg bring Jess on!!!
I loved Laguna Beach! It takes me bac to my teenage and high school years. It’s so funny watching shows like Euphoria now and looking bac on early 2000 reality shows 😂These kids seemed very mature for their age. It was nice to watch especially scenes on them talking about going off to college and their futures.
They're all the best the dynamic 😍
Wohooo video version 2 weeks in a row🎉
Omg haha love this episode and love Alex H! She’s so down to earth and genuine
This was amazing! Loved seeing Alex H (Lauren) ❤

I’m rewatching season 2 and Alex H is one of the funniest people on the show. Her one-liners and replies in some of the dialogue is hilarious in my opinion.
I love there friendship in LB both of them were so fun having fun girl times
When the show came out, I remember really liking Alex. She's great. 🙌
I remember first watching Laguna Beach in the Cayman Islands
Alex came across so well on the show, she should have no regrets
I really love "alex" ur vibe is so cool and chill I wish they would hve shown her more
It’s time to bring Sam on the podcast!
I thought they were gonna address their falling out. Either way, so cool too see them “together” and reminiscing, Alex is awesome!
Hey Stephen you gotta get LC on the podcast, don't take no for an answer, you can do it! That would be closure come full circle! Do it, do it, do it...

Hi🙌🏻I’m not that japanese girl that Alex met in Hawaii but im also a japanese woman who loves the show🥰 Laguna beach was really popular when i was studying abroad in NY. I was mesmerized by the whole dramatic story and spent a good adolescent moment with you guys.(that’s how i felt in my mind) After I went back to japan, i missed you guys so much at some point of my life and bought a set of LB DVD. And the other day, i again wondered what you guys doing lately and i serched on the internet. then i found out that you’re doing youtube! All the feelings i had back then came up to my mind🫶🏻 Thank you so much for coming back Kristen and Stephen!! I’m just so so happy to see you guys again!!! It was great to see Alex(Lauren) too!!
Alex was always the MVP of Laguna Beach for me

Alex is very laid back super dope
Kristin, Alex and Jessica were such a real reflection of how a friend group in high school was just fun and messing around I loved it
Alex ages really well she looks so good
I never understood why Alex h was not a credited cast member during the series? She was a major supporting character.
Alex is so gorgeous!
love the throw back pic. you all look the same and very good. i graduated high school in 1996 and we had the exact same theme for our graduation. It was the beginning of the end and we played R.E.M's it's the end of the world as we know it as we threw our caps. i know im old...dont judge me. LB took my mind of adulting when it aired and it still does. 😆 the LB gang had way more freedom than i did at that age.
Are we just not gonna talk about Alexs dog billy?? He was the cutest!!!! 😍😍
