PARIS, FRANCE - There's been a resurgence lately within the Shields family as their auntie Brooke Shields and agent Tea Leoni originally had a plan to split the sisters up into different studios to make more money off of them knowing how crowded ICE was getting they wanted the girls to split up so that they would standout more than being in one studio together which would make it tougher on the younger unestablished sisters who haven't had their runs in NITRO yet like their older sisters.

The Shields sisters have seen a resurgence in their careers as Allison and Terri's star power started dropping off last season with the come up of new NITRO young superstars coming in the game and struggles at the box office in 2014. Allison and Terri Shields were both moved from ICE because of it and it took a while but it looks like both Allison and Terri are both on the map now. Terri was at NBC last season as an executive and a host of her own hit morning daytime talk show while Allison went to RTN after ICE traded her for draft picks which was a smart move for ICE because they got huge value in return for Ally. Ally ended up back to NBC after RTN went defunct as a studio earlier this month to join her sisters Terri and Barbara who both vouched for her to be with them. Terri slid back on the executive staff and focused back on her acting career and it was a very smart decision because when Allison and Terri are together they are super powerful. Allison has used her fanbase to tweet her sister's move to be apart of the Rachel cast a move that worked. It also helped that they have been getting attention from their ICE sisters and that audience tuned into Rachel as it's been hyped up over the past few days as Rachel got more than 150 million viewers making it the first NITRO scripted series in history to pass that milestone mark. Allison herself is going to do a storyline arc in the show during sweeps in a month from now.

This double tandem is working very well for NBC right now and this is much different the way ICE used the twins as Allison was the one who got most of the promotion now they're getting an equal promotion. With Allison back in the picture like this she might still be a top 10 or top 25 actors in NITRO and we will see as she's been trending with Terri all week.

Barbara has taken a step back to help her sisters out but she might start focusing on herself soon. It's likely that she will stay at NBC as her auntie Brooke Shields and agent Tea Leoni don't want more than four Shields sisters at ICE and ROD only has two of them but she likes the fact that Santana and Nikki are the only two it gives them way more promotional room so we'll just have to wait and see what happens with Barbara.

Speaking of ROD's Shields sisters they have Santana and Nikki and starting with Santana she used to be the youngest featured player when she was with ICE back in 2010. Santana was a huge success but overtime just like her other sisters the other superstars started rising up and Santana was getting buried because of it. Santana was a lot like Strawberry at first playing QB for Team ICE at Battle of the Network Stars for a couple of seasons. She departed from ICE to ROD and ever since she's been there she's been one of ROD's top actors as she's not in anybody's shadow there and it has worked out for her. Santana's hit comedy The Nanny Diaries has rated really well to start this new fall season as well so things are looking up for her.

A hard luck Shields sister might definitely be Nikki as she was just like Gillian the two oldest sisters had to actually protect and watch over their younger sisters which didn't give them any real-time to become stars in NITRO so they were working actresses but since their sisters are older now and can take care of themselves they are branching out now as Nikki Shields is finally becoming a bigger star with ROD now with her sister Santana as she co-stars with Santana in The Nanny Diaries and she is a star in Baywatch for ROD. Nikki even does some work on I Love Lucy Hale in some sketch comedy segments and she will be working on there again tonight for the big Shane Tovar episode. She also hosts a Saturday morning talk show as well that has done well for ROD as well. Nikki just like Santana is benefiting with limited about Shields sisters there.

Gillian got moved around to NBC and ROD before ending up back with ICE and she's the oldest sister in her family but she looks like the youngest one in her family. Gillian is simply the mother of her family and everything runs through her and the thing about her is that her youngest sisters have a ton of respect for her as Gabby, Strawberry, and Kay love themselves some Gillian because she really helps through life the right way. With the girls older now she can finally focus on her own career like Nikki. Gillian has taken a big step getting into more premier projects and she even plays QB in the WFL on the New York Hitmen. Her star power has risen as she's basically one of the four ICE Shields sister. Gillian visits Gabby in jail every week that's how much she loves Gabby. Gillian is definitely surging this season as Paige is very focused on using her.

The three baby sisters over at ICE right now Gabby, Strawberry, and Kay have taken considerable growth in their evolution as huge international superstars in NITRO. All three of them are still teenagers so they still got a lot of growing up and maturing to do but their age makes it easy to market the early part of their careers. Gabby was NBC's first huge draft pick prospect from that 2010 draft when she was a little snot-nosed 11-year old puppy. Gabby's pressure to lead the studio became too much pressure on her and she slowly started to hang into the France underworld and her changing behavior led to her in 3 years time exiting the studio after she stabbed her older sister Terri live on international television back on Tuesday November 12, 2013. That one stabbing led to a suspension of the NITRO season and nobody would figure that NITRO would actually be out for a full 5 years. Gabby since late 2014 has spent the past four years behind bars for that stabbing and other incidents she committed leading up to her jail sentence. She's due to be released at the end of October from Mackenzie Hall down in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

The other two babies Strawberry and Kay have become the franchise players of The ICE Phederation and that ICE Starlets roster as Paige Van Buren has seeked out the opportunity to build the studio around them. Strawberry was always surging in popularity before NITRO shut its doors back in November 2013 as she had a good run with ICE then got traded over to defunct studio RTN. Strawberry was a centerpiece with Gabby during the NITRO War last season and Strawberry has continued to be hot this year as her excellent play in football playing QB for Team ICE and her WFL team the Seattle Jewel has taken her growing popularity to another level. This helped Strawberry really establish herself in NITRO. The season before she left she starred in the short-lived daytime drama Group Home and she was leading ICE to high ratings with Group Home before she moved over to RTN and because of the success of Group Home the network seeked to give her another soap to lead and this time it's the new hit Staying Alive which has produced 10 episodes so far and has gotten huge ratings these first couple of weeks proving that Strawberry's star power is legit and she's been trending towards the top on social media even having a streak at #1 many days during this month of September. Now Strawberry's next test is her new sitcom DJ Becky that's she's gonna star in and that comedy launches this Wednesday night on ICE.

Unfortunately the youngest sister of the family had to wait 8 years for her turn as Kay Shields was drafted way back in 2010 during the supplemental draft as she was taken last also known as Ms. Irrelevant and Kay is anything but irrelevant she's a growing superstar. Kay was drafted as an 8-year old and unfortunate for her she was in a studio that really didn't focus their programming on children her age so she had to wait her turn and sit the on the sidelines watching and learning from her sisters. That time watching her sisters and admiring their work has really helped Kay as she is super skilled for a talent her age now that she has blossomed into this beautiful 16-year old teenager. ICE has been really smart with Kay's growth because they usually put her in the same projects as her sister Strawberry as she is in lockstep with her as she even plays on the same WFL team as her receiving balls as Strawberry's top receiver. The one project that Kay is not in is Staying Alive as obviously being in a daytime soap opera is tough business. Kay is a different type of entertainer as Strawberry is more of a stage performer like her older sister Barbara so she is skilled in dancing and stuff like that which is key in Staying Alive which is based off the 1983 sequel hit to Saturday Night Fever starring John Travolta as the story follows a teenager trying to make it as a New York City dancer without a lot of money. Kay is a very good musician but not really a stage performer as Kay is a lot like her twin sisters Allison and Terri so she will be in projects similar to them.

The theatrical hit Addison's Children is based on the Shields sisters real life family when they first moved to Detroit but the story is set in Chicago. The Shields is the first family of NITRO and they will always be legendary for it and for the first time all of them are clicking on all cylinders. It will be interesting when the first NITRO Top Actors list comes out after November Sweeps if all nine ladies reach the top 50 for the first time in history.

Allison, Terri, and Barbara are celebrating Rachel's success today and yesterday the three were in a photoshoot session on Thursday afternoon as they are starting to be branded together. In the picture above you can see Barbara in a long sleeved royal blue dress paired with heels and Terri is in a sleeveless dress with heels while Allison is in the middle in a pair of new Jordache Jeans blue denim overalls with no shirt on underneath paired with brown boots. Terri says her character on Rachel is very classy so she's trying to mimic that wardrobe on taping days as she wore this dress to work after the photoshoot session and after the tapings as well. Terri says these are the types of outfits she wore as an executive last season and she wants to show people on Tuesday and Thursdays how classy she is and how classy her character is and not dressing like a thug like ICE actors. NBC actors this season are dressing up more formally this season because Selena Gomes, Tempsett Bledsoe, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Aniston, and Courteney Cox want a more elegant look for their actors this season as they have their actors on Tuesdays and Thursdays this fall dressing in formal attire as the male actors are in nice suits or outfits and the female actresses are wearing mostly dresses and skirts or formal pants, one piece outfits like jumpsuits, rompers, or overalls paired with blouses. Tempsett says she wants her actors to look elegant as she's tired of the thug and casual look making the studio look unprofessional. NBC is free to wear regular clothing on the other days of the week like Friday today a lot of actors are wearing their Jordache Jeans that just came out today but on live taping nights she wants them dressed up nicely.

For the most part ICE and ROD don't even have a dress code as their actors are free to wear whatever as Lucy Hale herself doesn't even dress professional. Lucy Hale says the dress code is usually based on ownership at NBC they have Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox who prefers a more elegant formal atmosphere on live taping days. We want our actors to be relaxed over here so Denise Richards and Jordana Brewster aren't implementing anything like that for our actors. Lucy Hale herself wore a flannel romper to work today with white sneakers so there is no right way to look for ROD.

Same thing with ICE and since they're in a high school studio and have the youngest roster in all of NITRO they have a very relaxed casual look as well. The main thing that they're focused on right now is the Jordache Jeans and that will probably be their main look for a while.

We'll talk more in-depth about NITRO's dress codes in each studio in the next press release.

Remember you can catch Terri Shields in Rachel on Tuesday at 9pm and Thursday at 8pm on NBC and you can catch Gillian, Strawberry, and Kay on the huge series premiere of DJ Becky this Wednesday at 11pm on ICE.
