While talking to Jake, Hilary shared why she believes the reboot series didn’t work out.

“I think that there was just disagreements on how far we could take [Lizzie] and where she is, as you know, she would have been when we were filming that 30 or 31,” Hilary explained. “And for me, I was that age and so I just also felt so deeply connected to her as a character because we were the same.”

“And I was like, oh, man, we can’t Mary Tyler Moore her that’s not, I don’t know, it was 2023. You know what I mean?” she continued. “There’s social media and we weren’t I wasn’t trying to have her wake up and do bong rips or anything, but she was a normal 30-year-old, you know? So, there was some things I think they just weren’t like, totally willing to go there.”

Lizzie’s story originally ended with The Lizzie McGuire Movie, which hit theaters in 2003. As fans probably recall, the movie ended with Lizzie and Gordo kissing.

In the new interview, Hilary explained why she doesn’t think Lizzie and Gordo ever become a couple in the events after the movie.

“So I don’t think they had a thing post. I think they had maybe an almost thing post. I know, again, another swing at it that didn’t,” Hilary shared. “But I think that there was a thing with someone else that was just very quick.

“In my mind, I like to think she had a thing with Ethan Craft finally,” Hilary added, referring to Lizzie’s middle school crush played by Clayton Snyder.
