UnREAL’s Stephanie Bennett to guest star on Shadowhunters

Although Lydia’s described as a “beautiful and no-nonsense” Shadowhunter, she reportedly began as a plot device: Author Cassandra Clare, who’s co-writing the series, recently admitted that she created the Lydia character as a way to bring two other characters together. While that’s not the richest backstory, Lydia will also have experienced a “terrible loss” in her past, so Bennett could hang around for more than a handful of episodes.

Bennett is currently in the midst of tackling the dual roles of Lori Loughlin and Lori-Loughlin-as-Aunt-Becky in Lifetime’s The Unauthorized Full House Story. She also recently appeared as Snow White on ABC Family’s Descendants.
