Just Jared Jr had the chance to catch up with actress Ava Kolker who shared how her role on Girl Meets World prepared her for the role of Olive on the new Disney Channel series Sydney to the max.

In the exclusive interview, Ava reveals what she likes most about the new role of olive saying that she is fun outgoing loyal but has a quirky personality. Olive is the BFF of Sydney in the series.

Ava adds that fans will love the new show because of the relationships and bonds between the characters and the hilarious comparisons between current day and the ’90s. They can also laugh with their parents as both generations will find a lot to relate to the 12-year-old actress shared.

Discussing her previous role in Girl Meets World Ava shares that it taught her how a show flows and about the life of a Disney kid such as waking up at 5:30 am and having a full busy day at work. But also it taught her how to transform into another person and get creative to help build the different fun layers of that character.

When Grandma Judy (Caroline Rhea) reveals a secret, Sydney (Ruth Righi) and her dad Max (Ian Reed Kesler) have an argument in this new clip from the upcoming Disney Channel series “Sydney To The Max” which joins the network on Jan 25.

There are some differences between growing up in 1999 and 2019 – your cell phone isn’t as big as a brick, and you don’t have wait for your computer to connect to the internet every time you want to talk to your friends. But 12 year old Sydney and her single dad Max have come to realize that they have more in common than they thought they did. Told primarily from Sydney’s POV in the present, with a good dose of flashbacks to Max as a 12 year old in the past, we’ll get to see how the past influences the future, but also how the present can reframe the past.

It was announced Thursday that Disney Channel has ordered a new father/daughter comedy series ‘Sydney To the Max’. The series features School of Rock alumna Ruth Righi leads the cast as the title character, along with Ian Reed Kesler (Suits, Kickin’ It), Christian J. Simon (The Amazing World of Gumball), Ava Kolker (Girl Meets World), Caroline Rhea (Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Phineas and Ferb), and newcomer Jackson Dollinger (Puppy Dog Pals).

Set during two timeframes, decades apart, flashback scenes to young Max and his best friend Leo (Simon) in the 1990s parallel many of the funny predicaments Sydney and her BFF Olive (Kolker) get themselves into. VHS camcorders, bleached skater hair and other ‘90s-defining “relics” aside, Sydney and Max come to realize, aided by Sydney’s kicky grandmother Judy (Rhea), who’s well-versed in Max’s childhood antics, that they have more in common than either realizes. Dollinger plays young Max.
