Here’s what the creator of the Disney+ series had to share in a new interview with ET:
On whether or not Nini will immediately tell Ricky about her offer: “That is such a good question that I can’t wait for viewers of episode 2×01 to discover.”
On if E.J. and Gina’s pairing will be revisited in season two: “So yes, to answer your question, do I see E.J. and Gina having further conversations and scenes in season two? I do just as much as I also see already– We’re turning in the sixth script of season two coming up and I already see such interesting combos all over the place, because these actors are so flexible and interesting that putting them in different pairings always leads to success.”
On Ricky and Gina’s pairing: “Something as simple as Ricky singing her a song in episode 6 can mean so much. And that is another thing musicals give you, which is the power of song, which is so inherently emotional and can tell so many stories that the script never could. I know we’ve got some Rina stans out there, and I’m hoping this show has five or seven seasons so we’ll see where they all end up.”
“Happy happy happy birthday to my beautiful angel ❤️Soooo…now that we are both 21…LETS GO GET A CASE OF WATER 😂 seriously couldn’t be more blessed to have this amazing human being by my side 💙❤️ Swipe for some of the BEST pictures 😏,” Matt wrote on Instagram, along with a series of photos and a video, which you can see below.
