Steve Howey, known for his role on the sitcom Reba, made a guest appearance on Happy’s Place alongside former costars Reba McEntire and Melissa Peterman. The episode included a nod to Howey’s past character, Van, with a reference to Houston 20 years ago. Howey praised the show for including these subtle Easter eggs for fans of Reba.
Reba ran for six seasons from 2001 to 2007 and is still beloved by audiences. Howey expressed his admiration for classic sitcoms and the lasting appeal of Reba. Happy’s Place, a new sitcom, reunites McEntire and Peterman after more than 17 years since Reba ended.
Howey’s character on Happy’s Place, Danny, differs from his previous role as Van, showing his growth as an actor over the years. The show’s creator, Kevin Abbott, used the opportunity to bring former Reba cast members together, with plans for more guest appearances in the future.
Although Howey enjoyed his guest spot on Happy’s Place, he has no plans to become a series regular. He found the experience of returning to multi-camera sitcoms challenging, but ultimately rewarding. Happy’s Place airs on NBC on Fridays at 8 pm. Fans can expect more familiar faces and nods to the past in future episodes.
