'Hellcats': AJ Michalka joins sister Aly for multi-episode arc

You can't keep sisters as close as Aly and AJ Michalka apart for long! Zap2it confirms that AJ has been tapped for a recurring role on her sister's series, "Hellcats." AJ, who recently appeared in Disney's "Secretariat," will make her CW debut in the second half of the season as a girl who works at a record store near Lancer University.
Of course, Aly and AJ are in a band together called 78violet - which was previously known simply as "Aly and AJ." When AJ's character befriends Marti, a musical connection is made, and The CW tells us that "a musical performance with the two is very likely."
When Zap2it spoke with Aly at the Television Critics Association press tour over the summer, she told us that despite "Hellcats" filming in Vancouver, she and her sister remained as close as ever. "AJ is so excited about the show," she said. "She's sad that I'm in Vancouver so I'm away a lot, but we still talk every day and we're still always working on our music together. One of the major differences between myself and Marti is that her relationship with her family is really volatile and can be sort of toxic, but I've always been incredibly blessed when it comes to my family. My mom and my sister are amazing."
In fact, the music clip that plays during the "Hellcats" title sequence in each episode is a 78violet special. "We are definitely excited about the fact that me and AJ did the opening credits," Aly told us. "The opening title sequence we wrote and recorded, which was a fantastic opportunity."
AJ's character's name hasn't been confirmed yet -- nor has exactly which episode she'll make her first appearance in -- but she is expected to appear in several episodes.

Hellcats it's my favorite freshmen show.
Not surprised. Figured she would pop up sooner or later.
What's it called...oh yeah...nepotism. Being family sure has benefits. When does Ashley's sister appear?
I enjoy the show, but for a show about cheerleaders the show spends an awful lot of time for Marty's musical interludes.
that I ended up liking this show when I was mainly interested in checking it out because I read gale harold would be in it, tells me that mr. welling may have a future behind the scenes in the tv biz.
Oh and in the preview when marti said if savanah was trying to make a catch phrase out of positive outcomes only but it wouldn't replace "talk to the hand". I laughed out loud.
What a great show! I never worry about missing an episode thanks to DISH Network, my employer and service provider. DISH has come out with an app that lets me watch TV, live and recorded, on various mobile devices, anywhere I have internet access. It's amazing, much like Hellcats!
