Are there not going to be Lauren and Ben characters?

I read somewhere that Jessica will be like Laurens character, and Eric will be like Bens. I don't know if this is true so I was just wondering if anyone knew anything, as I havent see any new actors playing Lauren and Ben on the set pictures and stuff. Lauren isn't a big character или anything, but Ben does go out with Angela, so I would have assumed they had him in the movies. Has anything be confirmed?
Not a big deal, I was just curious
Thanks x
