About Treena:
 Treena Lahey, played by Ellen Page, is the daughter of Jim & Barb Lahey. She makes a couple different appearances on the show throughout the seasons. She looks up to Ricky as a "Father
Figure", and Ricky looks out for her. (well, sort of...) She even sells her bike to Cory and Trevor to get Ricky a new shirt and some pepperoni. What a sweetheart.
She is often the subject of arguments between Jim & Barb. Treena comes across as a sweet kid, with lots of street smarts. She cares about her friends. Treena does not get along with her Dad very well, even though Mr. Lahey thinks he is just looking out for her. She knows about Ricky and Julian's dope operation, and is cool with it.
About Ellen Page:
Born February 21, 1987, her career started in her native Canada. Ellen Page debuted in the 1997 TV movie Pit Pony when she was only ten years old, playing the role of Maggie Mclean; the movie was then spun off into a series, in which she reprised her role from the film. Her ability to handle complex emotions and dialogue at a young age impressed directors, and she continued to build up her resumé, consciously avoiding the typical teenage girl roles of most movies, which she found to be sexist. 2002 she found herself starring in the new hit series Trailer Park Boys. In 2005, Page took on the challenging lead role in Hard Candy, a film about a young girl who lures in and traps a man she believes is a sexual predator. Her performance was praised as haunting and real, and soon after that Ellen Page contrasted it with a lighter role, playing Kitty Pryde in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand. By then, audiences and critics alike were noticing Page's impressive screen presence, and she signed on for several projects for the next year, including Juno with Michael Cera.
Playing the pregnant title character in Jason Reitman's Best Picture Oscar nominee Juno, Ellen Page served up a brilliant portrait of an articulate teen dealing with the ramifications of such a major life event. Her witty, touching work earned her universal praise, as well as Best Actress nominations from the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild, the Academy, and a lots of talk that dubbed her the breakout star of the year.
