Stevens was next given a role in the comedy, The Beast, a CBS pilot that hasn’t been picked up. She later auditioned for the character Ashleigh on the ABC Family series Greek, trying out because she read the script and fell in love with it. “I was dying of laughter. I was sitting in my room and I read the script two or three times and I had a girlfriend come over and read it with me. We were just dying! We each played different characters while we were reading it and we just thought it was so funny, great and well-written,” she said. Stevens has also mentioned that she and her cast-mates get along well, and she is good friends with co-star Spencer Grammer. Stevens has also signed on for a role in the film Fired Up, a comedy directed by Will Gluck.
