In an exciting reunion, the cast of ‘Lizzie McGuire’ came together virtually to read one of the show’s most memorable episodes, coinciding with the 19th anniversary of “Between a Rock and a Bra Place.” Originally, fans were thrilled when Disney Plus announced a reboot of the series, only to be let down when production was halted. However, Hilary Duff and her co-stars have provided a much-needed dose of nostalgia.
During this virtual gathering, Duff was joined by her former castmates, including Adam Landers (Gordo), Lila Jayne (Miranda), and Jake Thompson (Matt McGuire). Sadly, David Carradine, who played Sam McGuire, was represented by Kyle Downs, as Carradine passed away in 2009. They were also joined by Bob Thomas, a writer from the original series, and the episode’s writers, Nina and Jeremy Bell, who shared behind-the-scenes insights.
The episode focused on Lizzie and Miranda’s journey as they got their first bras, believing it would boost their popularity at school. Simultaneously, Matt was up to his usual antics, seeking Gordo’s help to win a contest to be Jet Li’s sidekick in an action film. As the read concluded, Duff expressed her gratitude, stating, “I truly believe that this show was magical… and made this show mean so much to so many people.”
Despite the reboot being put on hold due to creative differences, with Duff wanting a more mature portrayal of Lizzie and Disney aiming for a family-friendly angle, fans remain hopeful for a resolution.
