Other characters include Mrs. Muchmore’s butler, Forsythe, her lovestruck fitness trainer, Binikos, and friends – Addie, a little girl and Mrs. Muchmore's granddaughter, and Taffy’s raccoon friends from the dump, Mish and Mash. Several other secondary and background characters appear often in the show, like Mrs. Muchmore's friends, Mrs. Highcost and Mrs. Allperfect, who are also rich ladies and Forsythe's child genius nephew Alex, who's inventions tend to wind up occasionally being used by Taffy or Bentley against one another.

In July 2017, France Televisions partnered up with Boomerang to begin producing a Tom and Jerry-inspired slapstick cartoon, which would premiere in Fall 2018 with a total of 78 episodes.
