Amaury, MPFitz1968, Geraldo Perez – it looks like we're all going to have to keep an eye on this article. Unsourced or poorly sourced S3 premiere date is being added to the article. (FTR, I don't think I've even seen Disney Channel ads for season #3 yet!) If this keeps up, we may need to request semi-protection for the article. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:25, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- Hold up – maybe there's something to this: [1] --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:29, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: I would remove the table and the entry from the series overview and just mention that in the Production section for now as there are currently no listings on either The Futon Critic or Screener. I'll go ahead and be bold and do that myself, but feel more than free to revert me if you disagree. Amaury (talk | contribs) 20:36, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'd leave them – a promo from Disney Channel is an acceptable primary source. Though it's true that they don't use the magic words "season premiere"... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 20:42, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: I'll re-add it, then, if you feel a YouTube video from Disney Channel's official YouTube is sufficient enough for an episode table and series overview entry. Also, while not in the promo itself, the video description does have the magic words:
Catch an all new season of K.C. and the Coopers! Season Premiere, Friday, July 7, on Disney Channel
Also, I wasn't trying to imply that the video wasn't an acceptable primary source, just that I personally feel it would be better to wait until there are episode listings on The Futon Critic and/or Screener. Amaury (talk | contribs) 20:54, 4 June 2017 (UTC)- My guess is that those sites will update with the new info on Monday – it looks like Disney just released that promo today. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:22, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: Tomorrow sounds about right for Disney Channel's July schedule on Screener. Although for Nickelodeon, Screener usually has its next month's schedule a few days after that. Amaury (talk | contribs) 21:36, 4 June 2017 (UTC)

It looks like the recurring characters here still need to be put in order of appearance on the show (as per WP:TVCAST) – for example, I'm pretty sure that Miss Shapen (and Dr. Minyak?) first appeared on the show before Schwoz did. (Note – I haven't checked List of The Thundermans characters yet, but it's possible there are similar issues at that one too...) Just so you know! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:47, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: Unfortunately, it's been a while, and Charter isn't on the list of TV providers on the Nickelodeon website when attempting to log in to watch locked episodes, and most of the episodes are locked, so I can't view them without logging in, and, well, I can't log in, haha! I think it's something to do with Nickelodeon being a Viacom network or something. I don't know. That's really the only downside, if you want to call it that, since moving from DirecTV to Charter on April 15, but it's really not that big of a deal overall since I didn't log in that much to begin with as I almost always remembered to set a recording for episodes that would air that night, such as Henry Danger at 5:00 PM on Nickelodeon East, that I wasn't going to be there to see, and when I did forget to set a recording, the episodes I missed were ones from series that aired frequent reruns. The only series that I had to log in to watch an episode I had missed was for the first episode of either Power Rangers: Dino Charge or Power Rangers: Super Dino Charge—I can't remember which one—as I had forgotten to set a recording. At that point, I just set a recording schedule for the series so I wouldn't have to worry about it. Anyway, MPFitz1968, Nyuszika7H, is this something you guys could look at? Also, I could use some assistance on the parent article. Amaury (talk | contribs) 03:08, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
- I might be able to figure out some of this on my end. But it's a low priority – I probably won't look at this until there's a slow day on the weekend... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:53, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
Hey, do you know who added Ref. [1] to this article? It's supposed to "verify" that the theme song is sung by the show's two stars, but I actually don't see anything at the YouTube page, or in the video there, that actually verifies this... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 23:08, 10 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: [2]. There's nothing in the description of the video that says who sings it, but the video itself does provide sufficient sourcing that it is them singing. Amaury (talk | contribs) 21:25, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
- This doesn't really help anything, but just for reference, here's the finalized opening sequence used in what we see on television with an added break in the song that's not in the aforementioned YouTube video: [3]. Amaury (talk | contribs) 21:30, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not sure it does (e.g. lipsynching)... But if they are credited for it in the show's end-credits, then that would be good enough, and then this "source" could then just be removed. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 21:36, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: Thankfully, most of its episodes can be viewed without logging in. Bizaardvark: Paige's Birthday Is Gonna Be Great. I have one recorded to clean up the info box at some point, but stops just before theme song credits show. Darn it. Amaury (talk | contribs) 21:46, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: I'm stupid. I linked you to a full episode on YouTube above and then forgot about it. Credits begin at 22:30. They're in there. Amaury (talk | contribs) 21:49, 11 June 2017 (UTC)

See: Wikipedia:Database reports/Long stubs, and you'll notice one of your creations is pretty high on there! This probably explains why multiple editors have come by to "upgrade" the article to Start-class. But I just checked again – there are still only 6 real sentences of "prose", so it is still legitimately a 'Stub' IMO. If only we could find a little more sourcing to flesh the article out! – some more details about the second season would probably do the trick... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:20, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

Amaury, one comment on this – I think I would advise putting the "A" and "B" "numbering" back in with the prod. codes. That can be justified because they're there in the original Futon Critic sourcing... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 05:09, 16 June 2017 (UTC) I'm not destroying Wikipedia! Every Wikipedia's list of episodes about the animated series have the columns for writer/director/storyboard artist. So, not including them is an unacceptable and meaningless thing. Luigi1090 (talk) 00:23, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
@IJBall: I moved the article to fix some grammatical stuff; however, I don't even know if it deserves its own article. See L Is for Love. Amaury (talk | contribs) 05:29, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
@IJBall: As unreliable as Wikia is, the episode list over there contains images of the actual episode/segment title cards themselves, which would make less work for me since I wouldn't have to wait for the whole series to record which could take a long time. It would also speed up the process of restoring the "written by" column. What do you and Nyuszika7H think? I'm at 26 recordings right now and was getting ready to update User:Amaury/sandbox/List of The Loud House episodes again when I got curious about something regarding the characters and decided to check out the Wikia. Amaury (talk | contribs) 18:03, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
@IJBall: I'm pretty much done with the parent article clean-up, but I'm going to withhold from making the changes now as I still have one more thing to do. However, I could actually use your help if you're interested and when you have the time—MPFitz1968 and Nyuszika7H are more than welcome to help as well. Do you remember that one clean-up on Liv and Maddie where I removed irrelevant information from the lead—Liv being a girly-girl and all that—and moved it down to the Plot section as a separate paragraph from the one that was already there without really altering anything other than doing some formatting clean-up? That's when the whole fiasco with Kkjj flared up again. Then not too long ago, you, of course, cleaned up the Plot section by merging the paragraphs together, something that needed to be done regardless of whether or not Kkjj's disruptiveness happened. Well, there's pretty much an identical situation on The Loud House, and it's even worse than Liv and Maddie's was as there's much more bloat. In my sandbox, the lead was, of course, changed to match the episode list. As for the irrelevant information, most of what's there is already covered in other sections, so it's just duplicating information, which isn't necessarily a bad thing when the information is relevant, but when the information is irrelevant, it just makes a mess. So with regard to the current paragraphs in the lead:
As for everything else, like the Reception section, it's "okay," though some merging of paragraphs or other general further clean-up probably couldn't hurt. Relevant link: User:Amaury/sandbox/The Loud House. Oh, and regarding the episode list and restoring the "Written by" column, I should be able to have that done by either tomorrow or Saturday. On a semi-related note, you know, if Wikipedia had a user status feature where we could posts quotes and the like, you know what my quote would be today? Everything would be so simple if cartoons always aired two new segments (A and B) when they had new episodes instead of airing two new segments for a while and then changing to one segment each time there's a new episode with the other segment just being a repeat. It doesn't necessarily mean they have to air in production code order, but instead of "For Bros About to Rock" (113A) on June 6, 2016, "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud House" (113B) on June 10, 2016, "Ties That Bind" (109B) on June 7, 2016, and "Overnight Success" (109A) on July 20, 2016, just have "For Bros About to Rock/It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud House" (113) on June 6, 2016, and "Overnight Success/Ties That Bind" (109) on July 20, 2016. That just makes more sense, especially when it comes to averaging "episode" ratings. I just used 46 as the number to divide by for season one and 29 for the number to divide for season two currently, both of which are correct, but still. Also, Nyuszika, for the series overview, I thought I figured out a way to have the Episodes column first and then the Segments column, which can be done by turning the Episodes column into a custom column. That works, but the only problem is that the original Episodes column built into the template can't be removed even if you remove the parameter where you place the number of episodes. It's not too big of a deal, though. On the subject, however, do you know if it's also possible to have custom parameters for the information box and ratings templates? For the information box, there would be a parameter under the number of episodes with the number of segments. There is, of course, the current solution to use a parenthetical to mention that, but just curious. For the ratings template, it would be pretty much just like on the series overview template.

@IJBall: I've only done the first episode for now as I didn't want to go through the whole thing and then go through again and change everything should something need to be changed. The writer column is currently set to 43 for the width, though that may need playing around—you're the expert there—and it actually doesn't look too bad. Your suggestion of removing the season episode number column and just sticking with the overall episode number column doesn't sound like such a bad idea and would give us a little more room. It didn't seem to make a difference when I removed it, but that could just be because I didn't make adjustments to the widths. If you still think that would be beneficial, I can go through and remove the season episode number columns before you play around with the widths. User:Amaury/sandbox/List of The Loud House episodes. Amaury (talk | contribs) 02:00, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
OK, I've done what I can. It definitely works better with season #1 than season #2. But I don't see any alternative – there is no way to squeeze in another column into these tables. On my end, I will probably take this one off my watchlist in a week or two now... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 00:35, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
@IJBall: I know that the reworking of paragraphs and the like won't happen anytime soon, but quick question on something else. Since I'll likely be splitting the characters out into a list of characters article, as I know that earlier in this discussion you mentioned that animated television series are bit tricky with the cast/characters sections, when there aren't any character descriptions, either because there's a separate list of characters article or just because there aren't any, does this look okay? Amaury (talk | contribs) 05:14, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
@IJBall:
@IJBall: I know you're planning on removing this soon, but just an FYI that Luigi is back at it again. Just reverted a bunch of disruptive edits that went against some standard practices, such as bolding. Amaury (talk | contribs) 23:01, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
Well, it looks like the work here is done! However, there are a few things that can improve List of The Loud House episodes:
Hi, Amaury. How's life? So. Question for you. I'm wondering how you can state that the edits of the other contributors were disruptive, after you have both violated WP:3RR at the article, which is indeed a policy, and WP:CANVASS by failing WP:APPNOTE when you posted on the talk page of a user, pinging two more, when they weren't involved in the initial editors? I'm genuinely curious, and hope to clear things up. (I'm also posting here instead of the article's talk page, as it discussion behaviour rather than content.) Cheers. -- AlexTW 07:05, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
My latest edit on List of The Loud House episodes ISN'T distruptive and vandalic! See its talk page. Luigi1090 (talk) 01:25, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
In my defense, the episode page for The Loud House episode L is for Love has quotation marks surrounding it's L due to how the page was created and I was trying to get the link for it fixed. I have added in the summaries ever since the List of The Loud House episodes page got reworked. Did I leave anything out? Outside of that, what do you think of the show so far? --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:54, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello? Amaury, where are you? I'm trying to have a talk with you. I would love to make a few small changes to List of The Loud House episodes, but i'm worried my changes will be removed by you. Elijah Abrams (talk) 05:54, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

Let's keep the end date on there. It will be 1 year tomorrow. 68.224.116.208 (talk) 20:41, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- That's not how it works. Unlikely, but there could still be an announcement made today. And there have even been cases of series being renewed after a year has passed from their last episode, but the current practice is to leave series that haven't aired episodes for a while as still running until a year has passed or there's been an official announcement. Amaury (talk | contribs) 20:46, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- And if you want to get really technical, using this series, it won't be a year until 7:30 PM tomorrow. Amaury (talk | contribs) 20:48, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- Update: Just to let you know, with present on the source, the end date was showing. So I removed present from the end date source because of that. 68.224.116.208 (talk) 01:04, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- There is no rush to remove it as it is not the 19th for everyone yet. There is no need to be so hasty. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:06, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- The IP is right about the end date (of June 19, 2016) showing vs. "present" in the article's infobox. So whether the IP's edit or what was there is in the article, it has no overall effect on what shows in the article about that as of this moment. MPFitz1968 (talk) 01:32, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- @MPFitz1968: Okay, that I did not notice. Thanks for that. So yeah, either way, it makes no difference, though it should be left with the note until tomorrow, and similarly, it should be left as current at Template:Nickelodeon original series and Nicktoons. Like with anything, there is no need to rush it. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:41, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- I guess a bot decided to change the text [10], similar to what the IP did, though it left the note. MPFitz1968 (talk) 05:41, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- @MPFitz1968: Yup. That seemed much more reasonable to me as the East Coast, which is inside the US, had already hit June 19. Amaury (talk | contribs) 05:47, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

In the final episode of GMW ("Girl Meets Goodbye") Shawn (and Katy) announces that he did indeed adopt Maya as his daughter; Katy acclimates herself to calling Shawn "Daddy", she then apologizes for what she will do in the future, and then announces to him and Katy that she's going to London with Riley and the Matthews.. (hence the changes I made to Shawn Hunter) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Professor2789 (talk • contribs) 22:35, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Professor2789: Not exactly. Shawn shows adoption papers to Maya, thereby announcing his intention to adopt her, and he gives Maya time to decide. She does quickly accept, but the events in the finale do not show Shawn adopting her officially (that can be speculated to occur after the events in the finale, such as the signing of the papers and being recognized at a hearing or in a court of law, but it would not be appropriate to add that "Shawn adopts Maya", or words to that effect, to his or Maya's character descriptions without a reliable source saying so).

An example of "missing" production codes
Hey, so remember when we were talking before about "missing prod. codes", and I told you I knew I'd seen examples in the past of TV series that did have "missing" prod. codes?... Well, I've found an example now: List of Midnight Caller episodes – there are no episodes for the "missing" prod. codes. 445920 (season 2) and 446273 (season 3). So it definitely can happen! (even if it hasn't happened much over the past few years...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 22:27, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: On Talk:List of Bunk'd episodes, right? Yes, I do. Although there we ended up getting the missing episode, so it was produced, just didn't air during the regular lineup for whatever reason. Our sources are still missing production codes for some of the episodes, but now the number of episodes in the season two table match the number of production codes as "We Didn't Start the Fire" is 2-21, and there are 21 episodes. Amaury (talk | contribs) 04:18, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
I disagree about that for the sole fact that it's a 12 episode season. I'd understand if it was a larger season but since it's 12 episodes, 3 episodes could be considered recurring. Several shows with smaller seasons consider people who appear in 3 or more episodes as recurring. Joshie (New Horizons Await You) 01:09, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- It really has nothing to do with episode count, especially considering there's a second season, and if he doesn't appear there at all, then he's not recurring if he only appears in three out of however many episodes total there are by the end of season two. I'm going to ping IJBall as this is an area he's "passionate" about and can better answer this. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:15, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Might as well comment under this header. What do you think we should do now that Andi Mack's first season is confirmed to be 12 episodes? I'm not sure I understand; you said "that's what the source now states" in the edit summary (so the source must have been updated somewhere) yet you contradicted yourself in the next edit. Why? Also, should we replace the source entirely if it's causing this confusion, perhaps to a more updated one to reflect the proper episode count? Percivl (talk) 01:19, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Your question first – this source states that 13 episodes were filmed. I haven't added the Disney press releases to the article yet, but I will try to check to see if any of those confirm a 13-episode order. If 13 episodes were filmed, it's very possible that there's an "unaired pilot" episode out there somewhere. The other possibility is that a 13th episode was held back and will air in season #2. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:23, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Percivl: It was a typo. I meant "not." This can be solved, however, with a little rewording. @IJBall: This isn't an official word from Disney, but looks like the mystery's been solved regarding the 13th episode. Read this. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:26, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- It's been reworded. Alternatively, we can just remove the source entirely and write "The first season consisted of 12 episodes." This is similar to what was done on K.C. Undercover where 29 episodes were produced for the first season, but only 27 episodes aired due to the fact that some productions were merged for presentation. If you're interested, there is a discussion that took place regarding that here. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:34, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- I don't like doing that – it's revisionist. The "first season production order" did consist of 13 episodes (or, alternatively, you can say something like "13 episodes were ordered for the first season..."). The fact that one's been held back for season #2 doesn't change the fact that the original production order for season 1 was 13 episodes. (This is pretty much 100% analogous with what happened with Game Shakers, FWIW.) So, it's better to just leave that info as you have it now... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:53, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: Somehow missed this reply yesterday. Oops. :3 As what actually happened is more what we care about at the end, per Geraldo Perez's comment in that linked to discussion in my previous reply, I really don't see an issue with changing the wording to "the first season consisted of 27 episodes," "the first seasons consisted of 12 episodes," etc. As long as you remove the source, which is no longer needed there as the series overview/episode table supports that once a season ends, there are no contradictions with regard to the text disagreeing with the source and whatnot. Amaury (talk | contribs) 14:43, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- No, I'm very much against doing that, in regards to the 'Production' section (which is what I care about here), esp. as it would require removing sourcing. It should say something along the lines of what you have now: "13 episodes were produced for the first season,[source] but only 12 were aired [as one was aired in season 2 (this part's optional)]." Something like that... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:35, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- @IJBall: Yeah, and I actually don't really have any strong opinions on this, so I'm fine with whatever, just noting that I don't see an issue with the other way, either. Amaury (talk | contribs) 15:40, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

(This is pretty much 100% analogous with what happened with Game Shakers, FWIW.) So, it's better to just leave that info as you have it now... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:53, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- It's been reworded. Alternatively, we can just remove the source entirely and write "The first season consisted of 12 episodes." This is similar to what was done on K.C. Undercover where 29 episodes were produced for the first season, but only 27 episodes aired due to the fact that some productions were merged for presentation. If you're interested, there is a discussion that took place regarding that here. Amaury (talk | contribs) 01:34, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Might as well comment under this header. What do you think we should do now that Andi Mack's first season is confirmed to be 12 episodes? I'm not sure I understand; you said "that's what the source now states" in the edit summary (so the source must have been updated somewhere) yet you contradicted yourself in the next edit. Why? Also, should we replace the source entirely if it's causing this confusion, perhaps to a more updated one to reflect the proper episode count? Percivl (talk) 01:19, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Doing that is controversial. The general consensus over at WP:TV is that you need more than 3 episodes to be "recurring" as opposed to "guest". I think a lot of us want to see 5–6 episode appearances. If Bowie appears again in season #2 (which is likely), he can be upgraded to "recurring" then. There's no hurry... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:57, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- Episode count is also very significant, though 5–6 episodes is fine for "regular-length" seasons like this show. Someone recently tried to add a character as "recurring" for appearing in 3 out of 80 episodes in season 1 of Soy Luna... nyuszika7h (talk) 09:45, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Nyuszika7H: Hm. And for some odd reason, Andi Mack's first season wasn't the standard at least 20-episode order. If Andi Mack's first season were the only season, then I could see that; however, since it's got another season, that becomes questionable. But, at the same time, I'm not sure if we go by seasons or by series as a whole to determine recurring status. Let's say that, hypothetically, the second season is 20 episodes airing-wise. We're also potentially looking at creating a "special" section since a Disney Channel commercial confirms that season two will premiere in fall, but there will be a sneak peek before the Descendants 2 premiere, which is likely the "missing" 13th episode from season one. If Marty doesn't appear in season two, then three out of 33 episodes would not be recurring if we're going by the series as a whole rather than each season.

- @Amaury: It's common to list recurring status for certain seasons in other show articles, though usually that is confirmed ahead of time, and they appear in much more episodes. I'm kinda on the edge about 3 episodes out of 12, even considering only that many episodes I'd probably want more than that, but I'm not sure. nyuszika7h (talk) 11:39, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

I was wondering when it would be the right time to add character descriptions for the characters on this show. I'm just wondering. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:54, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Rtkat3: Sorry, didn't see your message this morning. See this discussion, where IJBall suggested removing the descriptions altogether and simply writing that stuff in the Plot section. Once and if we have a character list article, we can add descriptions. This is due to the complexity of the story. Amaury (talk | contribs) 06:06, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- Once we get enough characters for the confirmed upcoming episodes, we might be able to start a page like they started some for characters from Stuck in the Middle and Bunk'd. In addition, we'll add Bowie to the character section once his fifth appearance happens. --Rtkat3 (talk) 15:41, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
- @Rtkat3: That sounds like a fine plan to me, though I might wait until we see how many episodes they appear in. Amaury (talk | contribs) 16:12, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

I did add a source, [11] that link right there, it added two seasons of Bunk'd to Netflix, now if the season wasn't over with, why would they add season 2, they usually add the season right after it airs on the Disney Channel, that's your source right there which I have provided. P.J. (talk) 07:38, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- That says nothing about season two ending on May 24. If there's a third season and we get a known premiere date on it, then we can add the season two end date. Or if there's no renewal and a year goes by without an announcement, we can add the season two end date. Pinging you, MPFitz1968, as I know you mentioned Netflix can only release seasons once they have finished airing, but you weren't 100% sure. Amaury (talk | contribs) 07:47, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- I'm not completely sure as there can be exceptions, but generally Netflix will not release a season of a series whose rights are with another network until after that season has completely aired on the network, assuming Netflix has a licensing agreement from that network to stream the series, or that season of it. (Similar to Amazon or iTunes not releasing episodes of shows until after they have aired on their original network.) With that logic, I'd say season 2 of Bunk'd is done, but I'd still hold off on putting anything official in the article until it's reliably sourced. MPFitz1968 (talk) 08:33, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
- I don't know about the US, but that's certainly not true for all regions. Many non-US countries including Hungary get Shadowhunters episodes the day after they air on Freeform in the US, and Canada and a few other countries get The 100 episodes the day after they air on The CW in the US too. nyuszika7h (talk) 09:43, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

- @Callmemirela: No idea. I've dealt with them before just in regard to reverting them, but I wasn't actually involved in whatever the issue was, and I don't remember exactly what it was. It might have been sockpuppetry, but, again, I don't quite remember. Amaury (talk | contribs) 18:03, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

While I'd love to believe that Emma Lahana is in Descendants 2, I don't believe it for a minute. It does not appear that she's done anything since Haven (TV series)... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:49, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
