She Played an Enemy-Turned Love Interest

Schroeder’s character, Melina, started out as an enemy of Matt, who was Lizzie’s brother. But eventually, the characters developed romantic feelings for each other. And yet, Melina was only intended to appear in one episode, but she ended up being in 12 episodes over the course of the short-lived 2-season series. However, Melina’s storyline didn’t end there.
