Trivia / Younger

• Acting for Two: Thad and Chad are played by the same actor.
• Actor-Shared Background: Molly Bernard is Jewish and pansexual, same as her character Lauren. Kelsey also mentions that she is from Texas which Hilary Duff is in real life.
• The Cast Showoff:
  • It took a longer while to get there, but after almost six seasons, Musical Theatre legends Sutton Foster and Miriam Shore, joined by pop-star Hillary Duff, get to show off their vocal chops in a rendition of "9 to 5"
  • Season 7 has Sutton Foster dressed like a flapper and tapping to her cast recording of Forget About the Boy.
• Channel Hop: From TV Land to Paramount Network, starting with season six.
• Directed by Cast Member: Miriam Shor, who plays Diana Trout, directed the season 5 episode "Big Little Liza" and the season 6 episode "An Inside Glob".
• Playing Against Type: This is the first full TV series to feature Hilary Duff in a regular role since Lizzie McGuire ended its run in 2004, and her role as the free-spirited Kelsey is, appropriately enough, a considerably more adult and kid-unfriendly role than Lizzie (or much of her roles at least up until War, Inc.).
• Queer Character, Queer Actor: Molly Bernard is pansexual just like Lauren.
• Real-Life Relative: Somewhat so, the character of Don Ridley was played by Sutton Foster's ex-husband and fellow Broadway legend Christian Borle. Despite the divorce the two have remained close friends.
• Recycled Script: The aftermath of Charles finding out Liza’s secret plays out almost exactly the same way it did with Kelsey. Both treat Liza in a passive-aggressive manner making veiled insults to her at work, and both come around after seeing Liza with her daughter lets them understand the real Liza.
