Ringwald said, "The show was bold in terms of talking about sexuality. If I had to go to school right now as a teenager, I'd be really worried about getting shot in my own classroom." "If this were to be a show about American teenagers in school, that's something that would scare the s-t out of me every day. "Something that would be important for me would be gun violence in schools," Park said. The cast was also asked what they thought was the most important top that The Secret Life of the American Teenager would address, were it remade today. I feel like the fanbase of the show is really the people that are going to change the course of our, our wretched existence." And now you're all the age that that we're really trying to reach, you know all the Millennials. "I feel like you've all grown up," Ringwald said. So to me, you guys actually feel like my like OG high school friends, which is kind of cool." "Even if lots of time has passed, and you see whether it's kind of like no time has passed, because we just sort of had these formative years together. "We already we feel like we're actual high school friends," Park said. The event marked the first onscreen reunion for the cast since the ABC Family show ended its five-season run in 2013, and was aimed at encouraging fans to vote in the 2020 election.
Shailene Woodley, Francia Raisa, Megan Park, Ken Baumann, Allen Evangelista, Renee Olstead, Camille Winbush and Molly Ringwald from The Secret Life of the American Teenager reunited virtually via a JustJared-hosted video chat on Friday, Oct. It almost deserves an extra star just for having Ben refer to Blind Lemon Jefferson, a blues legend from the 1920s.īut in the end, for this to work, Woodley probably needs to carry both the baby and the show.The Grant High School kids are back together again! On the bright side, the show treats the religious teen with respect, not giggles, and a Down syndrome child has an honest and sympathetic role as part of a family. But the real question is whether the writers can make Amy's story compelling or whether they will retreat into all those other soapy dramas.įor what it's worth, about half the teen actions and exchanges in the first episode ring true. More telling is Kenny Baumann as Amy's new friend Ben, a pure clone of Jon Cryer's immortal Ducky from "Pretty in Pink." Molly Ringwald, the insecure teenager in that film, becomes the semi-oblivious mother here. To lighten all this melodrama, "American Teenager" also draws on the comic angst John Hughes used so effectively in teen movies of the '80s like "Pretty in Pink."
