One of the most intriguing parts of the sneak peeks is Elena, who is someone who refused to outgrow her teenage years. On and off stage, she is often found flirting and on one occasion was caught by her daughter doing so. She later introduced Lucy as her sister.
Shane Harper from "Awkward" will play Ian, the handsome son of Happyland's new president. Newly hired, he often encounters Lucy's feistiness.
However, as all teen dramas "the more you hate, the more you love" cliché often leads, Lucy and Ian find themselves falling for each other and they kissed. This is the part where Elena broke the news to her daughter that Ian could be her half-brother.
Katherine McNamara from "Contest" will also be in the show as Harper. She will, in all means possible, woo Ian even if she already has a boyfriend working at the park.
Other names to guest star on the pilot show include Brady Smith and Ryan Rottman.
