Career Context

In 2010, Gillies was cast as bad girl and occasional antagonist Jade West in the Nickelodeon television show Victorious, a sitcom revolving around teenagers at a performing arts high school in Hollywood, which marked her second time working alongside 13 co-star Grande. Regarding her Victorious character, Gillies said, "It's wonderful. I love playing Jade. I always say she's not so much the 'mean' girl, but the 'bad' girl in so many ways. She has a lot of human qualities to her—she's not just completely sociopathic. She's sweet with her boyfriend. It's nice to play a character with some depth."

Victorious premiered on March 27, 2010. During her time on Victorious, she performed on the soundtracks Victorious, Victorious 2.0, Victorious 3.0, most notably the songs "Give It Up" (duet with Grande), and "Take a Hint" (duet with Victoria Justice). The latter was the most successful commercially, earning Gillies her first platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and silver certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). She also wrote and recorded the song "You Don't Know Me" for an episode of Victorious, which was featured in Victorious 3.0.

For the network, Gillies voiced the character of Daphne on the Nickelodeon revival of Winx Club and recorded Winx Club's official song, "We Are Believix". She also appeared in an episode of Big Time Rush and as a contestant on BrainSurge and Figure It Out. Beginning in 2012, Gillies began playing small guest roles outside Nickelodeon. Notable appearances include White Collar and The Exes.

In July 2012, it was reported that Gillies was working on an alternative rock album. Victorious ended on February 2, 2013, after four seasons.

On December 10, 2013, Gillies recorded a duet of "Santa Baby" with Grande for the latter's Christmas Kisses EP.

2014–2019: Mainstream transition and Dynasty

In 2014, Gillies appeared in the horror film Animal as Mandy and the Lifetime movie Killing Daddy, playing Callie Ross.

In 2017, Gillies was cast as Fallon Carrington in The CW television series Dynasty, a reboot of the 1980s series of the same name.
