Reyes starred for eight seasons in NBC's Scrubs, four seasons in Lifetime's Devious Maids and four seasons in TNT's Claws.
- Diané will play Posh, who is everyone's favorite, even if they are constantly trying to figure out if he's straight or gay. A student at the New York Institute of Fashion, Posh is Gabby's (Sidibe) best friend who doesn't put up with her B.S. and isn't afraid to call her out on it. Posh's brutal honesty is always delivered with love, understanding and some attitude.
- Dodson will play Jimmy, the youngest of the phone sex workers at Imagine Inc. She's flighty, immature, aimless and ready to make lots of mistakes and have lots of fun while doing it.

- Horsford will play Eula, the mother of Gabby and Wendolyn. She is feisty and stubborn, using denial as a coping mechanism. She is never shy of sharing her opinions with her girls. A public school teacher, her daughters take after her in many ways, with Gabby having the same artistic and free spirit that Eula has passed on.
- Campbell will play Evelyn, the arrogant, blunt manager at Imagine Inc. She has perfected the nice/nasty delivery but always seems a bit pessimistic. She has been at Imagine Inc. forever; and with every year that passes, her hope, passion and dreams turn into tiny, nearly extinguished flames.
- Reyes will play Kathy, a tenured phone sex worker at Imagine Inc. and one of its biggest earners. She always has a big smile under eyes that have seen more than she'll ever tell.
