Now, after 13 years, our favorite characters from the series have finally graced our screens.
This time around, however, there are quite a few changes that have been made.
“I was approaching it like, ‘What if I was writing this book in 2021?'”
Han said during an interview withE!
In fact, there was a completely new one added in.
However, those weren’t the only reasons that Han wanted to create Cleveland.
“And I think the diversity of characters is a piece of that.
We get to have like an Asian American family on the show.
And then, we also have a new character Cleveland, who is Filipino.”
The direction that Cleveland’s character takes in the TV series changes the entire trajectory of the story.
After all, Laurel isn’t the only one has been changed by having him around.
“I really want my original readers to be happy,” Han told E!
“If they’re happy then I feel like I’m fine with what I’ve done.
I’ve done my best.”
