April Fool's Day
According to an article posted on Anchor Cove on April 1, 2008, the Creators had signed a deal with ABC and AOL to air lonelygirl15 exclusively on a new internet channel called EQAL. The show would star Jessica Lee Rose, set to reprise her role as Bree, and Zac Efron as Daniel. It would consist of thirty-minute long episodes with Bree vlogging in her bedroom, much like the earliest lonelygirl15 videos. The show was said to feature a larger cast than the online version, as well as featuring music from many top-label musical artists. Bree's parents, for instance, were said to be featured much more heavily in the television version, with Bree's dad set to be played by David Hasselhoff. Due to copyright issues related to the original stuffed "P. Monkey" puppet, Bree's purple friend was to be played by a live monkey, who would also be "a wiz at fighting the Order."
Believability
The two most well-known blogs in the Breeniverse, Anchor Cove and LG15 Today, reported the news as factual as a part of the festivities of April Fool's Day, 2008 (April 1st, 2008). This, combined with a rather decently faked ABC news article caused numerous people believing the joke to be real, including Jessica Lee Rose herself.
