Ashley TISDALE to guest star on the "The Suite Life on Deck" on January 16, 2009!

Expected to make a guest appearance in "The Suite Life on Deck", Ashley Tisdale will finally come on board the S.S. Tipton in the new year. The latest news coming from the sitcom series reveals that the actress who plays Maddie Fitzpatrick in Disney's "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" will reprise her role as London's BFF in the spin-off's January 16, 2009 episode. In the episode entitled "Maddie on Deck" to be aired at 8/7c on Disney Channel, Tisdale's Maddie will be seen visiting Zack, Cody and London in Europe and capturing the heart of 8-years-old prince Jeffy of Lichtenstamp who wants her hand in marriage. The story goes on with a catch that if Maddie refuses the prince's request, she will be imprisoned and S.S. Tipton will not be permitted to leave Lichtenstamp. A sequel to "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody", "The Suite Life on Deck" follows brothers Zack and Cody Martin and hotel heiress London Tipton as they move into a new home, the S.S. Tipton. The new series sees the return of its original stars Cole Sprouse, Dylan Sprouse, Brenda Song, and Phill Lewis, and welcomes newcomers, such as Debby Ryan.
