  • Actor Allusion:
    • The actress playing Ursula is in fact reprising the role from the original Grachi.
    • The actor who played Julio in season 1 actually played Diego in the original too. It's funny seeing him play a sort of mentor to a role he played previously.
  • Cut Song:
    • The theme song has an extra verse that's only been heard in a behind the scenes video, with the actors talking over some of it.
    • The song that Daniel preforms at the dance in the season 1 finale also has an extended version. The performance at the dance was filmed in full, but was eventually cut down and only some of the longer version can be heard on a video on Nick's website. Speaking of deleted scenes...
  • Deleted Scene: 40 episodes were ordered by Nickelodeon to be shot. Later, the network decided to cut the order in half... after filming and editing had taken place. That's a lot of footage left on the cutting room floor. Some of the deleted footage can be seen on Nick's website, which reveals that entire side plots were cut.
    • The original cuts are being aired in Russia (dubbed, of course). To put this in perspective, episode one ends when Emma and Maddie bump into each other as Emma comes out of the principal's office. Episode two ends at the same place the final cut of episode one ends. Such a shame, a lot of the cut footage wasn't exactly filler either. They are also airing in Italy in hour-long slots.
    • Season 2 had also been ruthlessly cut in half, so it's probably safe to assume this is going to be the modus operandi for EWW's entire Nickelodeon run. Worse, none of the original cuts are being aired internationally, unlike season one.
  • Executive Meddling / Screwed by the Network: Nickelodeon mashing and editing all of the Season 1 episodes together to such an extent where the episode count had been reduced to half and resulting in a plot structure that in places is almost impossible to follow. And on top of that, they marathon all the episodes in a single run daily for a month, making it even harder for fans to catch up plot developments (and even on top of that apparently they all out forgot to upload some of the episodes on Nick's official online streaming site). Given what many people thought was a cancellation-happy attitude at Nick at the time and the extremely cheap feel of the show, many were wondering if Nickelodeon was deliberately trying to set this show up for failure and further wondering why they would bother to order and produce this show in the first place if such were the case (cue surprise when it was renewed for a second and even third season). Of course, the second season was savagely cut in half too, resulting in all the same problems.
    • At one point, Nickelodeon was going to air an English-dubbed version of the original show. Isabella Castillo even recorded an English interview at the 2011 Kids Choice Awards for Nick. It's not known if it ever aired in the territory the dub made it in, the Philippines.
  • Recursive Import: Nickelodeon Latin America airs this, thus bringing the show to the region that produces Grachi, despite that fact the show was filmed in Miami.
