Co-creator Todd Kauffman has revealed quite a lot about the characters and a number of significant insights about the show from answering fan questions on [[https://neptoonstudios.tumblr.com/ his Tumblr]], as well as on Twitter:
----
* The Blue Star of Rocklympus seen in "Six Strings of Evil" has a counterpart called [[https://grojband.fandom.com/wiki/Pink_Star_of_Rocklympus the Pink Star]], which is currently in Trina's possession and was responsible for transforming her from the sweet girl she was to the evil psycho we see in the show. Both Stars came to Peaceville specifically to find Corey and Trina.
* Corey and Trina are raised by a single father, and they don't have a mother; he adopted them on his own. However, Mr. Riffin is unaware of how nasty Trina really is.
** Corey and Trina's real parents are not dead, rather they are gods of Rocklympus who gave them up to protect them from the Blue Star and the Pink Star, which would make Corey and Trina demigods and also explain a lot about what we see from them in the show.
** Their unusual hair color is not dyed; it's entirely natural.
** Corey has subconscious feelings for Laney.
* Laney was the one who came up with the idea for creating Grojband, originally so that she could spend more time with her crush Corey. It's also why she's Grojband's (self-proclaimed) band manager
** Laney's bandmates are actually aware of the fact that she's a girl, but they refer to her as a guy to make her feel more like OneOfTheBoys.
** Laney lives right next door to Corey. In fact, the outside of her house appears in several episodes, but it is never acknowledged in the show.
** Laney has an older sister, who was later unofficially confirmed by them to be [[https://grojband.fandom.com/wiki/Chloe one of the show's regular background characters]].
** Laney isn't interested in Nick Mallory because "she's more into artistic types".
** [[https://neptoonstudios.tumblr.com/post/82341151311/what-is-laneys-favourite-animal Laney's favorite animals are the chinchilla and the unicorn.]]
* Kin and Kon are bilingual and speak fluent Japanese. Additionally, the blonde hair of Kon's Newmans' counterpart Konnie is dyed.
** [[https://neptoonstudios.tumblr.com/post/90806746078/are-kin-and-kon-aware-of-how-laney-feels-about Kin and Kon "kinda know" about Laney's crush on Corey]].
** When asked whether [[WomenAreWiser Laney]] or [[GadgeteerGenius Kin]] was smarter, Todd Kauffman simply stated that both were equally intelligent in vastly different ways.
* Mina puts up with Trina's abuse because she believes that the original nice and sweet Trina she knew in her childhood is still somewhere inside and because she enjoys riding on Trina's popularity at school.
* On [[https://neptoonstudios.tumblr.com/post/101546209313/who-decides-if-there-is-going-to-be-a-second his Tumblr]], Todd Kauffman gave his insights on the nature of Corey and Laney's [[spoiler:kiss]] in "Curse of the Metrognome."
-->As far as [[spoiler:the kiss]] goes, we left it unresolved on purpose. It happened so close to the end of season one we felt we didn’t have enough time to develop any sort of satisfying relationship between them. They need a full season to explore it. Plus we wanted to leave the fans hanging in a sense. Leave them wanting more so to speak.
