JoJo Siwa drops by Disney+’s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series for a special guest appearance in the latest episode, which dropped on the streaming service Wednesday.
“It’s crazy to think that I’m a part of this world now. It’s wild!” Siwa shared with ET over a recent Zoom interview. “I remember when I first got the ask, I immediately was like, ‘Yes. Don’t know when, don’t know who, don’t know how, but yes, make it happen,’ to my team. And they did. It was honestly some of the most fun days of my life while filming this show. The cast is so kind, the crew was awesome. I mean, everything about this show was just perfect.”
The JoJo Goes star swings by Camp Shallow Lake as Madison, Maddox’s (Saylor Bell Curda) ex-girlfriend and also an ex-camper, and the former couple — who broke up at a previous camp prom — finally faced the realities of why their relationship didn’t work out, eventually reconciling and turning over a new page.
“Madison and Maddox had a little love life in the past, but they are broken up with now. However, Maddox needs some help and her brother [Jet] brings this girl into play,” Siwa said. “When you have a certain connection with somebody, they can heal a piece of you without even knowing it. And I think that’s what Madison is able to do for Maddox.”
Siwa acknowledged that though Madison and Maddox’s romance is over, there may be some lingering feelings still at play. “There’s still a little like between the two of them. That’s going to be fun to explore, but it is really cool,” she said. “Saylor, who plays Maddox, is an incredible human and so fun to work with. We laughed. We literally bonded so quickly in one day it was insane. Everybody was like, ‘Wait, you guys really didn’t know each other before this?’ And we were like, ‘No, we literally met an hour ago.'”
