as "good luck charlie" is low concept and character-driven, "the actors not only had to carry the show, they also had to have "pitch-perfect" chemistry with each other to make the family dynamic believable". bonnet says disney channel executives "just fell in love with" bridgit mendler, who stars as teenaged teddy duncan. "she has all the attributes of a disney star", said bonnet. mendler first heard about "good luck charlie" in late november 2008. after several rounds of auditions and cast reads, she finally secured the part in january 2009. mendler and jason dolley, who plays teddy's older brother pj, have starred in preceding disney channel series and movies before both were cast in good luck charlie; mendler had a recurring role on "wizards of waverly place" and dolley starred in "cory in the house" and numerous disney channel television movies. "variety" magazine's brian lowry says their careers "[reflect] the disney channel's knack for identifying young performers and rolling them from one project to the next, in a fashion reminiscent of the old studio system". both eric allan kramer, who plays bob duncan, and leigh-allyn baker, who plays amy duncan, have also guest starred in preceding disney channel shows, and both kramer and baker had respectively guest starred in one episode each of the nbc sitcom "my name is earl", where "charlie" writers erika kaestle & patrick mccarthy had served as writers and supervising producers. both baker and kramer were in the same episode of the nbc sitcom "will and grace", entitled "sour balls". baker says disney had been "courting [her] to play a mom", but she had always felt too young. "i kind of feel like hey, you know what? when i'm done with this stint, i'll actually be the age everyone thinks i am to be able to play the part". baker, who was a new mother herself, was nine months pregnant at the time she was auditioning for the role.

on june 5, 2011, a "good luck charlie" episode "charlie shakes it up" premiered. in this episode "good luck charlie" characters teddy, amy and charlie all go to chicago to visit their great-aunt nell so they can get into the will and get rich. when they arrive, they take the wrong car and are mistaken for the duncan sisters (two famous dancers) on "shake it up chicago!". rocky and cece notice that they are imposters when flynn wants to get the real duncan sisters autograph. after teddy and amy explain the truth the real duncan sisters appear into the studio so deuce locks them into the janitor's closet and teddy, amy and charlie performed. only cece, rocky, deuce, flynn, and gary appeared in the crossover because disney claimed they only needed "base characters" it was counted as a "good luck charlie" episode and not a "shake it up" episode.
