Its heart warming how the actors respect Jennette and her decisions.

[chriswsz]

they are so respectful talking about her and love how they respect her decision.

[czarlleyjannel]

They literally said “Let’s all age and not tell Jerry”

[SWyrick]

They had better not just say: "Oh, Sam's in jail."
I'll be pissed if that is the case.

[andrewvasquez]

Everyone is so ageless, only Nathen Kress is the only one that looks older but looking at Jerry Trainer it's like he never aged despite him being the oldest.

[raviellabarrios]

At least "Sam" is technically part of it, I mean she is one of the og character.

[thetree]

They said multiple times of "respecting Jeanette’s decision”.

It really makes it feel as if she went through something traumatizing.

[SweenyTodd]

"I mean that elevator door is always open." I do hope that one day Jennette will be in a place where she's willing to come back for at least a guest appearance. Glad to hear them all respecting her and her decisions!

[ScarlettJ]

Jerry acts just like his character Spencer 🤣🤣

[denisecarlo]

Jerry trainor looks exactly the same didn’t age a bit

[molliemac]

Apparently Jennette’s “stage” mom put a lot of pressure on her to act because she was the main source of income for the family, which made her kind of resent acting. Not to mention all her experiences with Dan Schneider...

[shelbyargento]

I love how much this cast respects Jeanette's decision. It's nice to see them take it seriously vs when Fuller House just made jabs constantly at the Olsen twins for not returning.

[yusurkassem]

I don’t blame Jeannette for not being a part of this. I hope she’s in a better place now and happy with her life 😊

[Aaron-heqd]

I still can’t believe that Miranda is 28. It doesn’t look like she’s aged at all since the show ended
Edit: I’m not saying 28 is old, because it’s not, I’m saying that she still looks like she’s 18 years of age.

[tenny]

Honestly, for what she went through with nickelodeon and Dan Schneider, I can't blame her decision.

[kennymob]

Spencer look exactly the same, don’t look like he aged a bit

[johngalactus]

So glad they didn't just ignore her character, that would have been a disservice. This is amazing!

[michelleramirez]

She’s close to all of the actors, it’s just her experience with Dan Schneider that screwed her over. He’s screwed many young women

[heyheyhey]

i just love how supportive and respectful the cast is of jennettes decision. like jerry said she'll always be a part of that family and i just really love that.

[Cephalon_natah]

I mean they’ll most likely say she’s with Cat still. Sam did move over there with her
