Cinthya Carmona who plays Sophie, chose her character last name herself (Cardona) in a tribute to her family home town in Colombia.
The Woods family actually consists of a Canadian Israeli (Ishai Golan ), an American (Finn Roberts ), an Israeli American (Ariel Mortman ) and a Brit(Selina Giles ).
The original TV series was created in Israel. The Israeli name is "HAHAMAMA".
The only story line that was not in the original Israeli version is the climbing wall sequence, written by Paula Yoo.
