Trivia[]
- This season features the series’ 100th episode, “Hope Springs.”
- This is the first season under showrunner Lindsay Sturman.
- Rosaleen Sullivan returns for a visit during this season.
- This is the first season without Laura since her introduction in "New Year's Wish".
- Though Opal appeared after that special, she continues appearing in this season, becoming the second character to be in every season since her introduction, which was season 3, but still below Emily as she's been on the show since the first season. This makes Emily the first character to go ten seasons for a student character.
- Despite Laura's departure, her dad, Jed, however would return after being entirely absent for seasons 8 and 9 in order to keep the family appearance streak going.
- Allie Grant is only absent in two episodes this season.
