If we could keep things civil and respect each other then that would be great. We probably don't have to mention this to you guys because you're all great but it never hurts just as a precaution of sorts!

(June 17, 2009) Can you give me any scoops on the upcoming season of The Secret Life of the American Teenager? I heard some rumors about a death! — Christina
TIM: Those aren't just rumors, Christina. Someone dies, and the death affects pretty much everyone on the show. You can also expect conflict between Ben and Ricky as they try to share dad duties, and a baby for Molly Ringwald's Anne Jeurgen — which means her child and her grandson (the baby born to 15-year-old Amy last season) will grow up together. The new season premieres June 22.

The Ricky/Amy/Ben triangle this season: "There will be very dramatic changes between all three of them. There may come a breaking point. Everyone's trying their best to make it work, but it's certainly not going to function very well for probably a very long time." - Ken Baumann TV Guide interview

(June 17, 2009) Death Comes a Knocking: "I think everybody is affected by it," says Daren. "Because it kind of brings a realization to every family in the show that this could happen to your family as well. So that is a big element that I think it'll be great for viewers to see. And we were all at the funeral when it was shot. So we all kind of had a place. It brings everyone together."

So, that's his main objective—just taking care of the kid." Daren tells Eonline

There's a lot of drama [this season], just in the sense that my boyfriend Ben gets very jealous because Ricky's at my house every night taking care of the baby, and Ben thinks maybe something else is going on."

- Ricky and Ben will try to co-father baby John but all doesn't go smoothly: "I think they're going to try. You know, who knows? I think it's inevitable for it to crumble a little bit. It's not going to be perfect but it provides for some interesting television."

- TVGuide.com: Which of the three has adjusted to parenting better?
Baumann: I would say, honestly, Ricky. He's starting to re-evaluate himself and be a good guy. That was kind of alluded to in the finale. By no means is it a fixed situation, but he's going to try to be a good dad. He is probably the most responsible in the way that he's been raised to be the most self-sufficient. He's got his major flaws, but he's probably the best out of the three.

- Adrian's Sexual Past: "You learn more of Adrian's backstory about why she's so into the sex and why it's not so dramatic for her like most people," says Francia. "And I know there is more sex involved and a lot more regrets when it comes to sex. Some people lose their virginity in the new season."

- According to a recent interview by Popstar Magazine Online with Francia Raisa, Adrian will have a scene with Ricky "at Ricky's house" where she is holding John and Ricky tells her, "Wow! You look so comfortable with him!" and then Adrian tells Ricky that she wants to have kids some day.Source: Secrets and Stories from SECRET LIFE!

- "Adrian is having to figure out which boyfriend she wants." - Shai dishes to Popstar

- THE DEADBOLT: How do you see Adrian evolving as we head through season two?
FRANCIA RAISA: Well, you get to know Adrian a lot more. She gets more involved in Amy and Ricky’s life and the baby’s life, actually, because her and Ricky get a little more serious as far as their relationship. There’s a conflict that goes on between Amy and Adrian, because Adrian is afraid that Amy is going to end up taking Ricky away because she is the mother of his baby. Then Amy is afraid that I’m going to spend so much time with the baby that the baby will consider me a mother and not her. So there’s just a lot of drama that goes on between all three of us and Amy and I just don’t get along.
