Ashley Tisdale used Instagram to disclose some breaking news, and the world went into a collective frenzy. The actress professed that she would be reprising her iconic role of Candace Flynn in the returning “Phineas and Ferb” series set to air on Disney Channel June 5. That simple caption in the announcement post—’Candace is coming back to @disneychannel June 5th 🧡’—made those nostalgic millennials and Gen-Z viewers who grew up on the show drop their popcorn.

The announcement video was on the short side but with a punch of energy. Tisdale, grinning from ear to ear, said, “Okay guys, we’re back. Did you miss us? Cause we missed you.” That was it for the explosion. The comment section exploded with reactions that ranged from pure excitement to hilarious callbacks to iconic moments from the show.

One of the top comments captured the chaotic energy entirely: ‘MOOOOM 🗣️ ASHLEY TISDALE IS BACK AS CANDACE IN PHINEAS AND FERB 😍🙂.’ Capital-letter enthusiasm seemed to be an overriding theme; another user shouted, ‘MOOOOOOM! 🗣️ CANDACE IS BAAAACK! 🗣️’-clearly a shout-out to Candace’s famous proclivity to ‘tattle’ on her brothers.

Then there were those chuckling during their comments. One fan jokingly referenced the recurring gag on the show where Candace was struggling to bust her brothers: ‘”Mom, Candace is making a advertisement sequence.”‘ The replies were pure chaos: one saying, ‘best comment ever.😂😂😂,’ while another simply flooded the comments with laughing emojis.

Then there were the more profound moments that reminded them of their childhood and Tisdale becoming part of theirs. One hilarious comment goes, “Yesss can’t wait you were literally my childhood from the suite life to high school musical to phineas and ferb you were our childhood so glad this and you are coming back to the screen 😍.” One said she was “an icon in my book,” with another one adding, “She will always be my big sister role model. ❤️❤️❤️.”

Of course, that doesn’t really soothe all the angst. One fan asks, ‘Candace only or everybody?’ hinting toward a desire for the full original cast to return. Another user referenced, “And Fiona Hart in Fancy Nancy Le Mans Racing Legends Mobius rival.” Okay then.

From time to time, a weird detour ensued, and one commenter dumped an entire essay on generational cuspers. (Still trying to figure out how that connects to Candace Flynn, but hey, the internet is a wacky, wacky place.)

Even Spanish-speaking fans joined in the excitement. “Oww cool Candice regresa q bien 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😅😅 ahora ya lo se , no sabía eso,” roughly translating to, “Oh cool, Candace is coming back, how great 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😅😅 now I know, I didn’t know that.”

Even crazier is when a user was dramatically asking, “Okay but HAVE YOU SEEN THE OTHER CANDACE?!? 😤🤬😬” No context, no explanation—just pure, unfiltered chaos.

The return of Ashley Tisdale as Candace is more than reminiscing about the past. For many, it is a full-circle moment—a reminder of simpler times when summer seemed endless and the biggest drama was whether Phineas and Ferb would finally get busted. One thing that assures everyone: With the show premiering, the internet is not ready for the forthcoming onslaught of memes, tears, and maybe a few more all-caps ‘MOOOOM’s.

So mark your calendars for June 5 because Candace Flynn is back, and she’s surely trying to bust those brothers again. Will she succeed? Well, that’s half the fun.
