Maia Mitchell & Hayden Byerly: Disney ABC TCA Party Pair

Maia Mitchell poses with on-screen little brother Hayden Byerly at the Disney ABC Television Group’s 2014 Winter TCA Party held at The Langham Huntington Hotel and Spa on Friday night (January 17) in Pasadena, Calif.

The two stuck around after The Fosters‘ TCA Winter Tour Panel earlier in the day.

“It’s a very complicated situation,” Maia shared at the panel about the triangle between her character Callie, David Lambert‘s Brandon and the family. “The restraints between Callie and Brandon have been the house and Callie needing to be adopted and Jude needing to be adopted above that. And now that Callie’s not in the house anymore — she’s basically refused the adoption, ran away, is wanting Jude to be adopted but doesn’t want to be a part of it — she can’t be around Brandon because she can’t be near the family.”

She adds, “Brandon for Callie just represents safety, I think, and love. She loves him. They’re very in love and it sucks. They definitely work at trying to make it work, whether it can or not I guess we’ll have to find out. But she definitely really loves him and is going to push the boundaries and do a bit of sneaking around to try and make that work.”
