Memories from the Disney Era
“I loved it. I had the best time,”
Duff said, reflecting on filming the series between 2001 and 2004. She recalled how “Lizzie McGuire” broke ratings records on Disney Channel, shaping how later shows were produced.
Behind the Scenes and the Formula
“It was complicated to understand at the time, but there was a formula for Disney Channel shows,”
she explained. Duff described how the network ordered a fixed number of episodes and followed a specific budget, keeping production consistent across series.
“I think one year we shot 30 episodes, and maybe the next one was 35,”
she added, highlighting the demanding pace of her early career.
Where Lizzie and Gordo Ended Up
When discussing the characters’ future, Duff dismissed the idea that Lizzie and Gordo became a lasting couple after the series.
“I think they had maybe an almost thing post,”

“Gordo is always there to pick up her pieces still,”
she concluded with a laugh.
