The cast of Happy’s Place is eager to feature Kevin Costner as a guest star, with some members even imagining him portraying the character Happy himself. The Yellowstone actor has become a popular choice among the team as they look ahead to the show’s upcoming season premiere on Friday, November 7. The hopes for Costner’s appearance reflect the cast’s desire to expand the series’ storyline with intriguing flashbacks and new character depth.
Pablo Castelblanco, who plays Steve, shared the team’s aspirations, revealing the strong interest in exploring Happy’s backstory.
“We have a dream of seeing flashbacks of Happy,”
he said. “Belissa [Escobedo] wants Kevin Costner.” Meanwhile, Melissa Peterman, portraying Gabby, proposed a creative idea for such flashbacks, suggesting a dramatization of each character’s job interview to add context and interest to the narrative.
“I also would love a flashback scene,”
she explained.
“Specifically, a flashback of the day showing each and everyone’s job interview.”
Reuniting the Cast and Guest Star Wishes
Happy’s Place has reunited some familiar faces, including Melissa Peterman and Reba McEntire, who plays Bobbie. The two previously worked together on the early 2000s sitcom Reba, creating a nostalgic link between projects. Joanna Garcia Swisher, known for her role as Cheyenne on Reba, will also guest star in the new season of Happy’s Place, adding to the reunion aspect of the show.
Moreover, Reba McEntire is acting alongside her fiancé, Rex Linn, who plays Emmett, the bar’s cook. Rumors suggest their characters may develop a romantic storyline in this season. Linn also expressed interest in inviting his friends Jonathan Lithgow and Jean Smart to appear as guests.
The cast’s wishlist for future guest stars extends beyond actors closely tied to the show. They mentioned names like Peyton Manning, Sofia Vergara, and John Leguizamo as exciting possibilities to bring fresh energy and star power to the series.
