Well, I'm still writing the pilot (it'll be an hour long like DuckTales and Big Hero 6), but here's what I have so far:


 * Augustus "August" Finster: the adult nephew of Ms. Finster, who's nicer to the kids than she is, but still a bit as bitter. He has a crush on Ms. Grotke. His name is a reference to Finster's original voice actress April Winchell [I think I'll replace her with Kate McKinnon].
 * Colleen Richardson: an African-American girl with a "major obsessive" crush on Vince. She sometimes calls him 'Vinny'. According to Mikey (subject may change), her crush has been going on since daycare. She likes rap and pop music, and dresses like it too. She is named after Rickey D'Shon Collins, who voiced Vince in the original series. I'm thinking of replacing him with Shamiek Moore.
 * Heather Armbruster: Ashley A's mother. I haven't thought of her maiden name yet. In the original series, she appears briefly in the episode "Parent's Night", but she'll be a bit different in this version. According to an flashback episode I'm planning tributing the original series, she went to 3rd Street School with T.J.'s parents, and used to bully them. Since the Ashley's are based on the mean girls from the movie Heathers, that's what she gets her name. And no, that doesn't mean the Ashley girls' mothers are named Heather. One of the changes I'm making involve the Ashley's and their family members. Only one Ashley gets a sister named Brittany (who will be a different age) and another only one gets a brother named Tyler.
 * Shawn Richardson: Colleen's widowed father, who she calls 'Pop'. He also went to 3rd Street with T.J.'s parents, and he's still friends with them. He is also named after Collins, who might voice him in the flashback episode. [I'm thinking of doing the same to Flo Spinelli. Adlon voicing her, that is.]

I'm also planning on introducing Spinelli's older brothers Joey and Vito who were only mentioned in the original series.
