7 Mar
Summary
- Reba castmates Peterman and Swisher reunite on set.
- Swisher plays Knoxville influencer Kenzie in an upcoming episode.
- This marks the third Reba alum appearance on the sitcom.
Actress Melissa Peterman recently shared her enthusiasm about reuniting with JoAnna Garcia Swisher on the set of the NBC sitcom Happy's Place. Peterman described the experience as "awesome, perfect and fabulous," noting that it felt like no time had passed since their days on Reba. The two even found time to prank call Steve Howey, another former castmate.
Swisher is slated to appear in an upcoming episode airing on March 13, portraying Kenzie, a Knoxville influencer hired for Happy's Place's social media campaign. This guest spot makes Swisher the third alum from the beloved series Reba to appear on the current sitcom, following prior cameos by Steve Howey and Christopher Rich.
Peterman humorously recalled pitching a different, more antagonistic storyline for Swisher's character in a previous conversation with writers. However, she acknowledged that Swisher's actual role was highly entertaining. The possibility of Peterman and McEntire appearing on Swisher's Netflix series, Sweet Magnolias, was also a topic of discussion, with Peterman expressing strong interest.
