Trivia / Young & Hungry

• Actor Allusion: Emily Osment and Ashley Tisdale are both veterans of Disney Channel kidcoms from around the same time period, while Jesse McCartney (Cooper) was an early guest star on Hannah Montana.
• Dawson Casting: Episode 5 has Gabi making out with a teen played by Nick Roux, who is actually 2 years older than Osment. Though somewhat justified as Gabi mistakes him for being older.
• Descended Creator: Executive producer Ashley Tisdale guest stars in "Young and Lesbian", "Young & Munchies" and as Sofia's new boss in "Young & Sofia".
• Playing Against Type: Aside from an appearance on Two and a Half Men, Cyberbully and a web miniseries where she plays a contract killer, this is Emily Osment's first big TV role dealing with more adult issues, since the kid friendly Hannah Montana ended.
  • Similarly, Ashley Tisdale's role as a Lipstick Lesbian coming on to Gabi is markedly different from her Disney fare (even though she has done more adult fare before).
• What Might Have Been: There was an idea of a Spin-Off staring Aimee Carrero's Sofia working as the assistant of Ashley Tisdale's Logan, with the entire episode of "Young and Sofia", of which the spin-off would have been named, serving as a Backdoor Pilot. The show wasn't picked up, but the plot of Sofia continually working for Logan was kept around for the rest of the run of the show.
