While the relationships between characters were messy in Life Unexpected's first season, things are about to get even messier: In Season 2, Cate (Shiri Appleby) and Ryan (Kerr Smith) will be navigating their new marriage, Baze (Kristoffer Polaha) will deal with rejection, and Lux (Britt Robertson) will dive head-first into a May-December relationship. Season 2 opens on Lux, Ryan and Cate's return from the big honeymoon — but not all is well in married land. "Cate and Ryan are dealing with very grown up issues in beginning a marriage," says executive producer Liz Tigelaar.
"Every happy couple isn't happy for that long," Robertson says. "There's a lot of secrets that are revealed about both of them and they're learning how to deal with it, and if they can deal with it. There's some stuff from Ryan's past that hasn't been revealed either, and he isn't the perfect guy that Cate thought he was."
They're not the only relationship evolving this season. Says Tigelaar: "They're still all the same immature f---ed up people they always were, but on scale, they've grown up a bit."
Even Baze will move on from his failure to stop Cate and Ryan's wedding with the introduction of Emma, (Buffy alum Emma Caulfield).
"Baze is so desperate to move on from Cate that he really needs a new relationship," Tigelaar says. "It starts as a hate-hate relationship, but they definitely have sparks. She has a lot of walls up and has a lot of reasons for not wanting to be involved with him."
