This is a completely new story arc for a Disney Channel character since previous ventures always focused on teenage characters like Hannah Montana, whereas real life actress Debby Ryan, who plays as Jessie Prescott, is already 20 years old in real life (her alter ego, humorously, is older at age 22).
Sometimes you have to defer to the experts. So when Debby Ryan â the 19-year-old star of Disney Channelâs Jessie (Fridays at 8:30/7:30c) â stopped by TVLineâs Times Square offices, I made sure to have my twin sons on hand to do the heavy lifting.
