Young Americans FAQ

Question:
Who are these people and why have you changed some of their names?

Answer:

Scout: Rich boy going to Rawley. Meets Townie Pump Girl who is--
Bella: Her mom and Scout's dad may have had an affair, so she might be his half-sister. She's poor and pretty and prone to smirking.
Will: Scout's roommate. Also a townie. Knows Bella from school. His last name is unfortunately Krudski. Will fancies himself a writer and tortures us with his deep thoughts via voice-overs to the point of suicide. Our suicides.
Verve: Real name: Hamilton. Verve is the dean's kid, and you never really see him with his parents. Nickname comes from the fact that he looks like Richard Ashcroft. Kinda. And they didn't say his name until the third episode. You also didn't really understand that he was the dean's kid until then. He's in love with
Terri: Real name: Jake and Jacqueline. She's dressed as a boy going to Rawley, but they haven't said why. Her mom doesn't know she's doing that. In the beginning she was supposed to be this cool hacker, but now she's just an underwear ad. Nickname comes from the Just One of the Guys ripoff that her character is, since they didn't actually say her name until the third episode.
Finn: The only teacher at Rawley, as far as we can tell. Thinks he's �Oh Captain! My captain!� Had a quick affair with Verve's mom (MamaVerve) who is the Dean's wife. Will got preachy on him and it ended. Has a weird boy-love with Will. Knows that Will cheated to get into Rawley but still treats him like a god.
Ryder: The bad guy. Had bad accent. Thinks he�s Spike from Buffy.
Mamawhore: Will's mom. Works at a salon. Probably beaten by Will's dad. Will hints a lot about domestic abuse, but we don�t really see Will�s dad ever hit anyone.
LA Girl: Real name: Lena. She was visiting the school from LA to see if she wanted to go. Fell in love with Terri. Figured that Verve and Terri were gay and in love. For some reason she's now going to the school, even though she wasn't supposed to be there until the fall.
Sean: Will's best friend since they were kids. They had a sad break-up when Will didn't tell Sean that he was going to Rawley because he was embarrassed. Sean got in a fight with Scout because he didn't want rich kids touching townie girls. Now dates Bella. Hates Scout.
Paige: rich girl from Scout's past. Loved him forever. Dates Scout so Bella will talk to Scout.
Grace: Bella's little sister. Small, young, whorish.
Bella's dad: changes actors frequently.
Scout�s dad is a Senator.
Coca-Cola: The omnipresent sponsor of Young Americans.
