Liv and Maddie (also known as Liv and Maddie: Cali Style for the final season) was an American sitcom on Disney Channel which premiered back in Summer 2013. The show was created by John D.

Plot[]

Actress Liv Rooney has just come home to Stevens Point, Wisconsin after a four-year stint in Hollywood filming a popular television program called Sing It Loud!, which has just finished its run, to the open arms of her parents, brothers, and twin sister, Maddie. The pair had hoped to resume their relationship from before Liv left, but instead have grown into opposing personalities with different interests. Liv has become very girly and enjoys any time someone mentions her former career, whereas Maddie has become a tomboy perfecting her basketball skills and is the captain of her basketball team. They have two brothers:  the typical awkward teen, and Parker, a confident and clever child. Rounding out the Rooney clan is their mother Karen, the school psychologist (later Vice Principal), and their father Pete , Maddie's basketball coach, both of whom are anxious to now care for all their children under one roof.

  • Diggieprofilepic

    Diggie

    Ryan McCartan as Diggie: s Maddie's main love interest. Diggie is the captain of the boy's basketball team of Ridgewood High School, and is perceived as confident and strong. Diggie affectionately calls Maddie simply as "Rooney", although in "Twin-A-Rooney", he calls her "Rooney classic" to distinguish her from Liv. In "Move-A-Rooney", Diggie finally expresses his feelings toward Maddie after she tells him they are moving. Diggie is also seen as a mentor for Joey when it comes to anything related to being "cool". Diggie was also the manager of the local frozen yogurt shop. In Season 2, he left Wisconsin to go to the nation of "Tundrabania" after Maddie broke her knee. In "Gift-A-Rooney", he makes his first physical appearance since Season 1 for his and Maddie's "meet-a-versary", courtesy of Liv. In "Flugelball-A-Rooney", he returns from Tundrabania only to break up with Maddie after he thinks she does not support his decision to go to Australia.
    • Willow (Jessica Marie Garcia) is a teammate and best friend of Maddie's. She plays center, and often exclaims that she "doesn't go down!" She and Maddie share a special high-five. Willow's only weakness is her overwhelming crush on Joey, as seen in "Slump-A-Rooney", when she misdirects a love note to be from him.
    • Stains (Bridget Shergalis) is a teammate and friend of Maddie's. She is a petite girl with a hearty appetite. She gets her name because her clothing gets inadvertently dirty in each episode she appears in. She has a recurring tendency to rub the side of her nose with her thumb whenever she gets involved in a scheme, as seen in "Team-A-Rooney" when the team rallies against Principal Fickman, in "Sweet 16-A-Rooney", when she helps plan a surprise party for Maddie, and "Shoe-A-Rooney", when she has to take over for Maddie in a game because Maddie was too busy obsessing with her new shoes. She also has a habit of ending each sentence with "man". This habit includes when referring to Maddie and her other teammates.
    • Artie (Jimmy Bellinger) is a classmate and proclaimed nemesis of Joey's. Although the pair have worked together before (as seen in "Brain-A-Rooney" and "BFF-a-Rooney"), they are often competitive in proving who is smarter than the other, with Joey usually falling short. In "Moms-A-Rooney", it is revealed that Artie has a crush on Joey's famous sister, Liv. He is also a sci-fi fanatic, showing up at a promotional event for Space Werewolves. In "BFF-a-Rooney", his last name was revealed to be Smalls.
    • Ocean (Cozi Zuehlsdorff) is Liv's first friend from school who first appeared in "Steal-A-Rooney". In the episode, Maddie organized for Ocean to befriend Liv since Liv felt that people only liked her because she is famous. Later, Liv realizes that the whole friendship was a set up by Maddie and she gets temporarily upset. But after sometime, she realizes that Ocean likes her genuinely and they become good friends. Ocean is of a bohemian-style family, lives on a sunflower farm, and has limited use of technology, thus not knowing of Liv's former television career before befriending her. Ocean loves the environment, school, and learning. She and Liv take a German language course together.
    • Evan (Carter Hastings) is one of Parker's "dojo buddies", and presumably one of his best friend. Evan is an underhandedly polite child, whose mother (an unseen character) is perceived as mildly overprotective. A year younger than Parker, the pair tend to get into difficult situations with Parker often protecting Evan, as seen in "Slump-A-Rooney" when Parker helps Evan stand up to his mother. Evan also helped Karen "reprogram Parker" in "Shoe-A-Rooney" when Parker tried to avoid having to do chores by pretending to be incapable.
    • Reggie (Herbie Jackson) is one of Parker's best friends. He takes karate classes with Parker and Evan.
    • Principal Fickman (Larry Miller) is the principal of Ridgewood High. He is close to his mother and somewhat stern when it comes to school related matters, as seen in "Team-A-Rooney" when he had cut the girl's basketball team's budget.
    • Johnny Nimbus (Kurt Long) is the local television weatherman who is often selected to host various events around town.
