Duff emphasized on SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show that there was no "battle" between her and Disney+, but that they did disagree on how adult her 30-something character should be. “The way that she could connect with what was going on in people that were watching the show, it was like, they’re watching themselves. And that was where they related,” Duff explained. “It only makes sense to me to shoot a show where she’s acting like a 30-year-old in a modern world.” Duff also said she was happy to reunite with the original cast for three weeks while filming two episodes of the ill-fated reboot.
