The second season ofThat ’90s Showbrings audiencesback to Point Place, Wisconsin, where fans can expect to see familiar faces from the set ofThat ’70s Show. But one new addition to the cast was singled out as particularly intimidating to work with — at least according to series star Callie Haverda, who portrays Leia Forman.
Season 2 ofThat ’90s Showpicks up in the summer of 1996, one year afterthe events of Season 1, Episode 10, “Kids in America”. Following Leia and Nate’s (Maxwell Acee Donovan) almost-kiss, the two must decide whether to come clean to their respective partners, Jay (Mace Coronel) and Nikki (Sam Morelos). After a year away, Leia wishes that everything would stay the same in Point Place, but she soon discovers that might not be possible. Speaking withPeople, Haverda was asked aboutThat ‘90 Show’s season 2 guest cast. She said:
It’s a crazy-stacked cast. I was mainly intimidated byLisa Loeb.
Loeb appears inThat ’90s ShowSeason 2, Episode 2, “Something to Talk About”. Loeb is featured as a figment of Leia Forman’s imagination: Leia imagines herself recreating Loeb’s music video for “Stay (I Missed You)”, with Loeb providing commentary and even adding her own vocals to the performance.
“I mean, it was definitely intimidating doing that because I was practically being her. I’ve never done anything like that. I rewatched her music video so many times.”
What Guest Stars Appear In That ’90s Show Season 2?
That ’90s Showseason 2 features a star-studded guest cast, including appearances byThat ’70s Showactors like Tommy Chong, Seth Green, and Laura Prepon. Chong reprises his role as Leo, the carefree, resident hippie of Point Place, and Prepon returns as Donna Pinciotti-Forman. Greenwas singled out for praise from Haverda,
“All of them are so incredible, and I was intimidated by all of them. But we weekly became very comfortable with each of them. Seth Green is actually the coolest person in the world. Being able to spend so much time with him, we became very close. He is so iconic and he doesn’t present that way. He doesn’t come to set, and he’s not flaunting that in any sort of way. He’s just very easy to get along with.”
