The Disney Channel confirmed to E! News that the network scrapped the episode it had intended to open the hit series' third season—an episode titled "No Sugar, Sugar" that features a character (Hannah's pal Oliver) dealing with diabetes. After some initial concerns as to how the disease was portrayed, it was not aired.

According to a network executive, the Disney Channel's Standards and Practices team consulted with medical experts during the script-writing process "to inform the story and be sure it was told responsibly."

"Notwithstanding the measures we took, and based on the episode's preview and early feedback from parents, we removed the episode from Sunday's schedule and are now reevaluating it," the Disney rep said.

"We will await the results of the episode review by a variety of experts and then will make a determination on the episode's future. Most importantly, we listened to those who expressed their concerns and consulted with the creative team (programmers and producers)."

It was then that they chose to pull the Nov. 2 episode, opting to make "He Ain't a Hottie, He's My Brother" the sitcom's season-three premiere instead. Episode No. 2, "Ready, Set, Don't Drive" (Billy Ray's message to the almost-16-year-old Miley, perhaps?) premieres Sunday.

"Still, there is great interest, especially from parents, in seeing the subject of living with diabetes somehow incorporated into our storytelling for kids and families, so we're hopeful we'll do so in the future," added the Disney Channel exec.

And it's not as if the Mouse House doesn't have a handle on the subject matter already. Also on Nov. 2, the Disney Channel aired an installment of Jonas Brothers: Living the Dream that explored how Nick Jonas manages his diabetes both at home and on tour. The 16-year-old JoBro appeared in a PSA afterward in support of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Hopefully it will air later. Do you think this episode was inspired by Nick J?

About JONAS

This is the official logo and plot of the new Disney show JONAS

The Show's Plot:

JONAS is the hottest rock band on the planet. Band members Nick, Kevin, and Joe Lucas (played by the Jonas Brothers) are superstar pop idols who tear up the stage night after night causing severe outbreaks of JONAS induced hysteria.

Legions of fans [Especially the ones determined to become a future Mrs. Lucas] want a peek at what their lives are like offstage. Behind the cool clothes and sleek guitars, they're just 3 boys from Jersey who are living the dream.

These ultra-talented brothers are also each other's best friends and still live at home with Mom, Dad, and little brother Frankie. At school, they hang out with lifelong friend and style guru Stella Malone, who believes fashion is the sixth sense.

In the school hallways, their classmate [And major fan] Macy Misagets uncontrollably excited around them, which usually means someone's going to get injured. JONAS episodes will feature musical vignettes woven into the story.

These brothers are probably the only superstar idols who still have to do the dishes, but they know how lucky they are to be living the dream.

Who's excited for JONAS?

The source also said, "Kevin, Joe, and Nick are headstrong. They’re demanding high end hairstylists who cost $500 a day. Producers are also disturbed that the boys are driving the wardrobe budget to nearly $20,000 per episode. And they want to keep the clothes!"

How demanding? They are such girls! lol

“They take these little girls…teach them how to sing and dance, and make them wear belly shirts, but they won’t allow them to be their own people. It makes me sick. I would never issue an apology for my life and for who I am," said the actress, [via G.Q. Magazine]. It’s like, Oh, I’m sorry I took a naked, private picture that someone … sold for money. … You shouldn’t have to apologize. Someone betrayed Vanessa, but no one’s angry at that person. She had to apologize. I hate Disney for making her do that.”

What do you think about Megan's comments? Agree or Disagree?
