Stuck In The Middle Cast Interview
#StuckInTheMiddleEvent
Who is in the Stuck In The Middle Cast
My family are huge fans of the Disney Channel and Stuck in the middle is their absolute favorite, probably because my family can so closely relate! We also, are a family with 7 children and swear that they may have a secret camera in our house because they nailed what it is like to be in a large family. Our favorite episode is the one about the “sweet seat” in the car. We feel their pain, we also have the good seat in our car and seating always goes in order of oldest to youngest.
The show is written and produced by Linda Videtti Figueiredo (executive producer) and stars Jenna Ortega (Harley Diaz), Ronni Hawk (rachel diaz) , Isaak Presley (Ethan Diaz), Ariana Greenblatt (Daphne Diaz), Kayla Maisonet (Georgie Diaz), Nicolas Bechtel (Lewie Diaz), Malachi Barton (Beast Diaz), Cerina Vincent (Suzy Diaz), and Joe Nieves (Tom Diaz).

We were lucky enough to get to watch a special sneak peek of the Stuck in the Middle short series episodes that will be debuting on the Disney Channel App on November 24th and on the Disney Channel on December 16th! These short series clips were hilarious and freakishly spot on….. no spoilers, but we again can relate! Make sure you let your kids know…. as they will be glued to the television with anticipation.
I was so excited to dive in and ask a few questions to the main stuck in the middle characters… I think the one we all wanted to know was, how many of you are actually from large families?
JENNA ORTEGA : I’m from a large family. I’m one of six kids but if you add one of my nephews there’s seven. But my sister just had another nephew so now there’s eight of us. And they’re always over at the house because we babysit them so there’s eight kids in my family I guess you could say. So it’s pretty big.
This was followed up with, do you like being on the stuck in the middle cast?
JENNA ORTEGA : I love being part of the cast of stuck in the middle. I like Harley’s storyline because at first she’s kind uncertain of like where she’s going with her life. She feels very invisible but later on she realizes that she is very important. She plays a very important role in her family. I think it’s important to know that for those middle children out there who feel like they’re not noticed that they are. And they are very important in the families because they make their families their families.
There has been rumors that you all are pranksters on the set, so they were asked, Do you guys do pranks on the set?
JENNA ORTEGA : Oh. It was April Fools’ Day and we were filming onset. And I kept telling everyone, hey guys I have the biggest prank. I’m going to get all of you guys. You guys don’t even know.
ISAAK : There was no prank.
JENNA ORTEGA : That was the prank. That was his prank that he didn’t have a prank. But a couple of my siblings have to be onset that day. And I said, well we have to get Isaac before he gets us. So Isaac is like the biggest Oreo fan. So my siblings and I, we got a packet of Oreos and we opened one of them and we put deodorant in there. Isaac runs in and we’re eating the normal ones and he said, oh my gosh, give me one, so we give him the deodorant ones.
NICOLAS : He shoves it in his mouth. Chews it and then after he chews it he runs to the bathroom
KAYLA : He was just like a little girl too. Everyone was like, Kayla, Ariana, Jenna like who is that
ARIANA He didn’t even think twice because he loves Oreos so much.
ISAAK PRESLEY : I walked right into it.
MALACHI : He doesn’t even look at it. Later he’s like, we don’t even have to say anything.
I could feel the love they all truly had for each other especially Mom and Dad (Cerina Vincent, and Joe Nieves.), you could feel the true bond of the Stuck in The Middle Cast and they beamed with joy while talking about their “children”as if they were their own. We asked them how they felt about the chemistry on set.
ARIANA : Family, just straight up family.
NICOLAS : Siblings.
ARIANA : Off the set we hang out at dinners. And we really love each other.
JENNA ORTEGA : We see each other Monday through Fridays so it’s like we’re always together.
ISAAK : Saturdays and Sundays.
JENNA ORTEGA : It’s like they’re my second family.
JOE : And that happened right from day one. Right from day one it happened. It was immediate and fantastic.
ISAAK : I know for Malachi and I we’re only children. So like us walking into this as only children, we’re walking into this big family. It was actually like adopting a family.
ARIANA : We’re like family.

The cast had amazing news for us…. they got word that were picked up for a second season!!! I am so excited and my kids will be thrilled to hear this.

Update, You may recognize Jenna Ortega from season two of the Netflix series You playing “Ellie”. Yes you are correct , that is Jenna from the Stuck In The Middle Cast acting all grown up (age 17) in a very mature show that involves love , lust and murder which continues the story of Penn Badgley’s Joe Goldberg, a sociopathic serial killer who’s all the worse because he thinks he’s a Nice Guy.
