Ashley Rickards: 'Jenna Is The Every-Girl'

Ashley Rickards walks the red carpet with Carter Jenkins at the 2012 Outfest opening night gala screening of Vito held at the Orpheum Theatre on Thursday night (July 12) in Los Angeles.

The 20-year-old Awkward actress recently chatted with The Insider about season two of her hit MTV show.

“This season, one might say there’s more drama, but, like you say, we’ve explored the characters in the first season so now the stakes are higher with every relationship Jenna has. There are more secrets than ever, so there’s the potential for bigger fallout from that,” she shared of digging deeper into Jenna.

Ashley added, “Last season, Jenna was the underdog, this season she’s the every-girl. She never expected people would ever see that blog � hers is one of millions of blogs, but someone sees it and starts talking to her about it. Her blog is the most intimate and inside Jenna’s head we can get. So when this happens, it means there’s someone who knows all her intimate thoughts, which is scary, but they’re also giving good advice, so there’s a lot of emotions revolving around it.”

Ashley is also pictured at the 2012 Thirst Project Gala late last month at The Beverly Hilton Hotel.
