Stuck In the Middle

By Erin

Are you stuck in the middle in your family? I am not stuck in the middle of mine. I am the oldest, but there were just two of us, so nothing crazy! I have seen first hand though from visiting other friends and family members who come from large families with lots of kids that were stuck in the middle of their families how super insane it can get! 😀 So make sure to watch and take a hilarious inside look at what it’s like being the middle child in the new Disney Channel family comedy series “Stuck in the Middle!”

Staring Jenna Ortega (“Jane The Virgin” and “Elena of Avalor”) who is a very inventive tween Harley Diaz, is the middle child in a busy household of nine. In the preview episode, avid inventor Harley is all set to accept a community award, but she must first devise a way to get her family out of the house and to the ceremony on time. You can imagine that getting that many people out of the house on time will not be easy!

Told from Harley’s point of view, the slice of life stories find humor in everyday life as this middle child devises creative ways to cope with – and stand out – in her family’s busy suburban Massachusetts household. The Diaz parents, Suzy and Tom, also have six other kids: Rachel the self-involved eldest; Georgie, a basketball-playing teen; Ethan, Harley’s closest ally; invincible and indestructible twins Lewie and “Beast”; and the strong-willed youngest sibling, Daphne.

In addition to Jenna Ortega, the series stars Isaak Presley (“Austin & Ally”) as Ethan Diaz, Ronni Hawk as Rachel Diaz, Kayla Maisonet (“Dog With A Blog”) as Georgie Diaz, Nicolas Bechtel (“General Hospital”) as Lewie Diaz, Malachi Barton (“The Young and the Restless”) as “Beast” Diaz, Ariana Greenblatt (“Liv and Maddie”) as Daphne Diaz, Cerina Vincent (“Mike and Molly”) as Suzy Diaz, and Joe Nieves (“How I Met Your Mother”) as Tom Diaz.
