Cast
The cast was picked by Studio 100's own Gert Verhulst, well known in The Netherlands and Flanders by his performance in the kids' show Samson & Gert. All cast members have a decent skill level in singing and dancing, seen in their shows and tours around The Netherlands and Flanders.



Nienke Martens
Actress: Loek Beernink

English version: Nina Martin

Nienke is much shier than Nina in House of Anubis. Another difference with the English version is that Nienke is not American, which was made up for "House of Anubis" as a reason for Patricia to distrust her.



Fabian Ruitenburg
Actor: Lucien van Geffen

English version: Fabian Rutter

The Dutch version of Fabian is a lot more geeky than the English version. He does not play the guitar, and is almost always seen reading, even more than the English Fabian.



Amber Rosenbergh
Actress: Iris Hesseling

English version: Amber Millington

The Dutch Amber seems much more headstrong than the English version. She immediately knows that something is wrong with Mick in the first episode, while the English Amber takes much more time to discover it. The Dutch Amber is also much more hot-headed.



Patricia Soeters
Actress: Vreneli van Helbergen

English version: Patricia Williamson

The Dutch and English versions are not that different, the only small difference is in their clothing: the Dutch Patricia wears much more gothic-like outfits, sporting colours like black and purple. In the Dutch version, Patricia's panicking around Joyce's (Joy's) disappearance makes less sense because we do not actually see her leaving, like in the English version of the series.



Mick Zeelenberg
Actor: Vincent Banic

English version: Mick Campbell

The Dutch Mick and English Mick aren't that different. They both love sports and aren't that smart. The only difference in their personalities is that the Dutch Mick is much colder, a great opposite to the Dutch Amber's hotheadedness.



Jeroen Cornelissen
Actor: Sven de Wijn

English version: Jerome Clark

Jeroen is just like his English version, Jerome: he likes messing with people and their feelings, and has blackmailed a lot of the other residents. Like the English version, Mara, and later Noa, is the only one who can actually understand him and he opens up to her alone.



Appie Tahibi
Actor: Achmed Akkabi and Kevin Wekker

English version: Alfie Lewis

Two people played Appie. The first one (Achmed Akkabi) left because he had been cast in a film, but they actually changed the plot so that another actor could play Appie. According to the series, Appie's appearance changed when he touched an artifact. Appie is not that different from Alfie, although he is usually seen with horror toys like bloody arms. He likes to tease Amber.



Mara Sabri
Actress: Liliana de Vries

English version: Mara Jaffray

Mara is, just like her English version, and perhaps even more so, a very quiet girl. She likes studying. In the Dutch version of the series, she left for Dubai with her parents and twin sister, but it is unknown if this happened because of the actress or because of the plot. She was replaced by Noa.



Noa van Rijn
Actress: Gamze Tazim

English Version: Not confirmed.

Noa suddenly appears when Mara leaves for Dubai. Noa is a confident, creative girl who loves old things, candles and flea markets. She is very stylish and is different in everything she does. She is a descendant of Amneris, and is actually an Egyptian princess. Noa develops a very special bond with Jeroen. (Jerome) It is unknown whether Mara will take over this role or if Noa will appear.
