Trivia / lonelygirl15 S01 Zavalla

• Writing by the Seat of Your Pants: This arc and the previous one both had to be partly written like this, as Taylor's previous mentioned friend Sam was intended to be the girl Alex had referred to, but her actress dropped out at the last minute, forcing the creators to cast Amanda Goodfriend's little sister Shannon Solomon as the replacment character Julia and hastily rewrite the entire Zavalla arc.
