Dani (Jada Facer) is getting in a real sticky situation on this week’s Melissa & Joey, and CS4U has the scoop straight from Jada herself!
Dani Mancini is the spunky, feisty and rebellious surprise daughter to Joe (Joey Lawrence) and his ex Felicia (Brooke Burke Charvet). After discovering who her father is, Dani moves in with Joe, his new wife, Mel (Melissa Joan Hart), and their niece, Lennox (Taylor Spreitler), to get to know her dad better.
In Wednesday’s two-part episode titled “Parental Guidance” and “Gone Girl,” Joe has a hard decision to make when he finds out Dani (Jada Facer) has been breaking the rule. Joe is shocked to learn that Dani snuck friends in to the house, drank wine and then lied about it. He’s forced to call Felicia (guest star Brooke Burke-Charvet), who insists Dani return home to her immediately.
CS4U caught up with Jada recently to get the deets on what’s coming up on upcoming episode of Melissa & Joey.
