At the beginning of season 1, only a few characters seem to know Miley's secret. These include her immediate family (Robby Ray and Jackson), Oliver and Lilly. As the series progresses, an increasing number of people are revealed to know the secret. These include members of her extended family (Mamaw Ruthie, Aunt Dolly, Uncle Earl, Luann, etc.), Lilly's mother, Jake Ryan, Jessie, Roxy Roker, and Officer Diaria and his daughter. In the movie, Hannah's publicist Vita is aware and her secret is publicly revealed to the entire town of Crowley Corners. During season 4, Jackson's girlfriend Siena, the President of the United States, Rico, and the entire world finally learn the truth about Hannah/Miley.

Leslie "Jake" Ryan portrayed by Cody Linley (season 1–4) is an Emmy-nominated television and film actor best known for his role as a zombie slayer on the teen sitcom Zombie High. He has an on/off relationship with Miley, something that has been ongoing throughout much of the series.

Jake got his start in acting as a baby, appearing in commercials for "Wonder Diapers". He later got his big break in Zombie High (Buffy the Vampire Slayer parody) and went on to star in feature films such as Teen Bigfoot, Teen Gladiator and the Sword of Fire, and Roger Buck: Intergalactic Bounty Hunter (Buck Rogers parody). He claims that his box office appeal is just as big as Shia LaBeouf's. He also makes a brief appearance in the show Gotcha! (Candid Camera and "Punk'd" parody).

Jake first meets Miley at Seaview Middle School where he attends as a part-time learner before relocating. Jake's arrival at Seaview causes a big stir among the students who are all big fans of Zombie High and are starstruck at meeting him. Jake basks in the attention, although Miley, who is a superstar herself, fails to be impressed at his star power and believes that Jake should be treated as a normal kid. This is what first attracts Jake to Miley, and with time, Miley begins to realize that she has feelings for him too, even though she refused to admit it at first.
