Daytime Star Christel Kahlil (Lily, Young and the Restless) stars alongside James Maslow (Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush, Lionsgate's My Boyfriends' Meds) in the new rom com movie We Need to Talk. The movie is about Great Scott, a video-game influencer who speaks to millions of his online fans every day but has problems talking to people in his real life including his girlfriend Aly, played by Christel. Soap fans will love seeing Christel in this part as a very cool girlfriend.

Great Scott remains blissfully unaware that he has a problem until one morning, as she’s walking out the door, his girlfriend Aly (Christel Khalil) tells him, “We need to talk.” Aly’s comment sends him into a day-long tailspin. 

Throughout the entire agonizing day Great Scott seeks wisdom, advice, and emotional support from his social media network of friends, Tango (Tray Chaney), internet trolls, a myriad of online characters from around the world, and from people in his real life – Joe (Johnathan Fernandez), his producer, and Amber (Emily Bett Rickards), Aly’s best friend. Several influencers/gamers have cameos.
