yeah i don't remember the name of the sitcom but the costars were having sex which prompted disney to cancel the show

are you talking about life with derek? that wasn't a disney show, and it wasn't canceled either. it was one they licensed from canada.

i also don't know if they actually dated irl back then, but i remember people shipped the step siblings on the show.
