THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER ( 2008 - 2013 ) ↳ 1x09 | Slice of Life
Adrian joking about getting pregnant to compete with Amy.. then clarifying it was a joke. Mam, we watched you get mad at her for over a year about Ricky.. we know you wanted his baby
Never forget the time someone said Ricky Underwood is a Wal-Mart Alex Karev.
I'm surprised that there are only 49 fanfics of TSLOTAT
Misunderstood TV Show Guys
Which guy from a TV show deserved to be treated better by everyone (including their love interest)?
Pacey Witter (Dawson's Creek)
Logan Echolls (Veronica Mars)
Ricky Underwood (Secret Life of the American Teenager)
Zuko (Avatar: the Last Airbender)
Cappie (Greek)
I agree with a couple of them
All of them deserved better
Are there any others you feel deserved to be treated better by the other characters and should be added to the list?
Sometimes I think this show was a fever dream, and then I am reminded that no, someone actually sit down and wrote these scenes
SLoTAT Reunion - Where the characters are now, according to the actors!
Came across this reunion video after watching a few old episodes. Honestly I hated a lot about how the writers handled everything in the show, and the pro-life christian values peppered in EVERYWHERE, but it was refreshing to hear the opinions of the actors. The purpose of the reunion video call was to discuss the importance of voting for the 2020 election, including a lot of useful information about voting in general. I recommend watching it yourself if you can!
They also answered a few questions about SLoTAT, including where they imagine their characters would be now. Amy, Adrian, Grace, Ben, Henry, Lauren, Madison, and Anne's actors all showed up. Ricky, Jack, Ashley, Alice, and George are not there. I did not see this video recapped anywhere yet, so I thought I would take it upon myself. They also discuss some other fun behind the scenes details and go over what topics they would want the show to cover if it was airing now. If some answers conflict, it is because each answer is from a different actor. I am only recapping the part about what the actors envision for the future of their character.
Most of the cast fully admits to not remembering the ending, since so much time has passed.
Shailene Woodley (Amy): Ricky and Amy get married, and then divorced, then married again, and then divorced again. But it is okay, because she is back with Ben, and they have two more children together. In a fantasy world, she would love to see her be someone who had all of her children very young and is now rocking her thirties child-free as her children are all grown, while all of her friends are having children for the first time. Now fluid in her sexuality, not identifying as anything - not necessarily with Ricky OR Ben. Might even be with... Grace! Hopefully traveling, learning languages, and eating good food.
Megan Park (Grace): Grace became a doctor. Maybe a heart surgeon. Also single, living her fluid life - maybe with Amy or Adrian. Living her best life.
Francia Raisa (Adrian): Adrian would be a lawyer. Very involved with the border situation, lawyer for detainees and immigration. Single boss woman - she specifies she would not last with Omar. Francia later mentions she is still fighting with Amy - this time, over Grace.
Allen Evangelista (Henry): Henry likely died after enlisting in the military in season 5.
Molly Ringwald (Anne, Amy's Mom): Anne would have a teenage son Robbie by now, so she is pretty much the same in that regard. Either still a lesbian or living her fluid life like her daughter Amy.
Ken Baumann (Ben): He just hopes that Ben is going to therapy regularly and lifting weights (Francia agrees that they all needed therapy lol)
Camille Winbush (Lauren): Lauren decides to stop competing for boys and instead becomes life partners with Madison. Power Couple.
Renee Olstead (Madison): Renee had a more depressing future in mind for Madison. Madison does not go to therapy. She is single, and a cocktail waitress in Vegas who takes shots every time she hears the words "oral sex".
Surprisingly, everyone agreed they would still love to do an actual one-off reunion episode! Or maybe even redoing one of the episodes as they are now. Two years have passed since then, so it seems unlikely - but you never know.

If you want to die take a sip every time someone says baby, Ben says I love you/I love Amy/I love her, and the camera lingers on a shot for way too long.
