Parenthood's Mae Whitman Describes Ryan & Amber's Relationship with a Taylor Swift Song

Mae Whitman is making us even more exciting for Parenthood‘s big season season six premiere tonight!

The 26-year-old actress opened up to TVGuide.com about Amber and Ryan’s (Matt Lauria) relationship, and more. Check it:

On the final season: “That’s one really great part about all of this is that we are able to say goodbye. I think we’ve built up these people that everyone cares about and you want to know what’s going to happen with them and at least feel like there’s some sort of wrapping up of your long life with them.”

On Ryber: “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it reminds me of a Taylor Swift lyric where she says, ‘I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to,’ and I’ve always loved that. It was the first time with Ryan and Amber that you really felt this really raw display of love, but also that they weren’t what was best for each other at that point…It was a really hard and special scene to play.”

On watching Amber grow: “Something I loved about this character since the beginning was that you get to follow her through this strange of period of adolescence into adulthood. It’s a really difficult transition and I feel like I struggled with it in a big way and I feel like it’s not something you get to see on TV….Like in life, it is two steps forward and one step back with her.”"

Be sure to tune into Parenthood TONIGHT, September 25 @ 10/9c on NBC!
