The first season of Happy’s Place welcomed many guest stars and new characters
During Season 1 of Happy’s Place, Bobbie (McEntire) unexpectedly inherited her late father’s bar and is shocked to learn that Isabella (Escobedo) is her younger half-sister. The two ultimately learn to co-own the bar together, while germaphobic accountant Steve (Castelblanco) manages the finances and Takoda (Black Elk) keeps things moving as the pub’s jack-of-all-trades waiter. The tavern’s veteran bartender Gabby (Peterman) also explored the idea of having a baby while the bar’s bandana-clad cook Emmett (Linn) may just have a romance brewing with Bobbie. (In case you missed it, McEntire and Linn are a couple in real life and have been dating since 2020, making this storyline extra sweet.)
Filmed in front of a live studio audience, Happy’s Place also delighted viewers with an all-star line-up of guest appearances, including many of McEntire and Peterman’s former Reba co-stars. Christopher Rich, who played Brock Hart on the long-running sitcom, appeared in Season 1, Episode 15 (“Sisters Ink”) as a tattoo artist named Maverick. Steve Howey, who played Van Montgomery in Reba, also delivered lots of nostalgia when he appeared in Season 1, Episode 7 (“Ho-Ho-Howey”) as a wealthy business owner named Danny. Happy’s Place Season 1 also introduced a new character — Bobbie’s daughter Gracie, played by Emma Kenney.
