Francia’s cast mate Jorge Pallo recently did an interview with MediaBlvd Magazine, leading up to the finale we saw last night. (AN: By the way caps are on their way!) Jorge mentioned Ms. Francia in the interview… the cast seems really close and that’s wonderful!

MediaBlvd> What’s it been like to work with this ensemble of young actors?

Jorge> They’re great, and they’re all high-energy. I’ve hung out with them, from time to time. We’re a pretty good bunch. On Thursday nights, we’ll go over to Francia Raisa’s (who plays Adrian) to watch Grey’s Anatomy. Allen Evangelista (who plays Henry) and I hang out pretty regularly. We actually threw a joint birthday party together, and Greg Finley (who plays Jack) came in and partied with us. And, Greg, Allen and I spent New Year’s together.

The season one finale has finally come upon us tonight. It’s been a fun ride with the Grant High gang. The second season is tentatively scheduled to start airing this summer.

In the emotional episode viewers have waited almost nine months to see, Amy finally gives birth to her son as friends and family gather at the hospital to support the Juergens family, in the first season finale of THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER, premiering on ABC Family tonight (8:00 - 9:00 PM ET/PT).

In “And Unto Us, A Child is Born,” friends and family are all gathered at the hospital eagerly awaiting the arrival of Amy’s baby. Ben and Ricky discuss their future relationship — Ricky as the father and Ben as the future stepfather to the baby — they agree to forge a friendship. Adrian shows up to support Ricky, while Grace tells Ricky that she’s getting back together with Jack. After hours of labor the baby is finally born, and a deliriously tired Amy and Ashley decide to name him together.

Once at home, Amy has a tough time transitioning to being a new mom. Ricky visits his newborn son and realizes he might enjoy fatherhood. Meanwhile, Ashley and George surprise Anne by packing up a moving truck and moving out of the family home. The second season of the hit series THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER will air on ABC Family with all new episodes this summer.

The series cast includes Shailene Woodley, Molly Ringwald, Mark Derwin, India Eisley, Ken Baumann, Daren Kagasoff, Francia Raisa, Megan Park, Greg Finley and Jorge-Luis Pallo. John Schneider, Josie Bissett, Ernie Hudson and Steve Schirripa also guest star, along with Phillip Anthony-Rodriguez, Michelle Marks, Alex Boling, Larry Sullivan and Ben Weber. The series is created and executive-produced by Brenda Hampton.

Here’s a look at tonight’s episode: One Night at Band Camp

The one question viewers have wondered about since falling for “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” is finally answered: Viewers will learn how Amy and Ricky first met at band camp in this pivotal episode before next week’s first season finale episode. In a series of flashbacks that take place as Amy lies in her hospital bed waiting to give birth to their son, she reflects on the events that led her to this unexpected point in her life. THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER episode “One Night at Band Camp” premieres on ABC Family tonight (8:00 – 9:00 PM ET/PT).

In “One Night at Band Camp,” Amy is in the hospital and slides in and out of sleep as she waits to get her epidural during labor. When awake, she’s angry and is barking demands at those by her side, but while asleep she dreams about how she got to this point. As Amy dozes, viewers flashback to see Ricky notice his next conquest, Amy, at band camp. Ricky actively pursues Amy by complimenting her and giving her his undivided attention. Through her voiceover, it’s clear that Amy is charmed by him and can’t believe this new cute guy wants to be with her. But it’s not just Amy and Ricky’s relationship that viewers learn more about in these flashbacks: They also see the beginning of Jack and Grace’s relationship; Ben getting his braces off and looking forward to an awesome freshman year; and Adrian disapproving of her mom getting involved with Mr. Juergens.

Back in real time, Grace’s brother, Tom, tries to give her back her promise ring and tells Jack that Grace misses him. While Grace considers getting back together with Jack, Adrian admits she still has feelings for Ricky.

The series cast includes Shailene Woodley, Molly Ringwald, Mark Derwin, India Eisley, Ken Baumann, Daren Kagasoff, Francia Raisa, Megan Park, Greg Finley and Jorge–Luis Pallo. John Schneider, Josie Bissett, Ernie Hudson and Steve Schirripa also guest star as well as, Paola Turbay as Cindy. The series is created and executive-produced by Brenda Hampton.

I am still uploading caps - it’s taking me awhile sine I was in a car accident last week and my right side is injured and I’m right handed…

Francia’s film with Matt Lanter made it on the list of SideReel.com’s Top 10 Favorite ABC Family Original Movies!

The Cutting Edge 3: Chasing The Dream

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the second film in the Cutting Edge franchise, but I very much enjoyed the 3rd one. The Cutting Edge 3 pretty much took the exact premise of the original film (a complete classic - you really must see it if you haven’t) and reversed it: guy is a figure skater, girl is a hockey player. This movie also got major points for casting some seriously hot eye candy in the form of Matt Lanter (currently Liam on 90210) and Francia Raisa (The Secret Life of The American Teenager).

Here’s a look at what you’ll see tonight on the hit drama.

On tonight’s episode of THE SECRET LIFE OF THE AMERICAN TEENAGER airing tonight (8:00-9:00 PM ET), Ricky disinvites his foster mom to the baby shower by accident.

Meanwhile, Adrian is suspicious of Grace when she has the “look”.

Elsewhere, Anne schools Ashley on aunthood, and George gets very weird.

SECRET LIFE stars Shailene Woodley, Molly Ringwald and Mark Derwin.

ABC Family has added yet another sneak peek for the upcoming ‘Secret Life’ episode that features Adrian (Francia) and I’ve added it below along with the caption. Are you ready?

Next on “Secret Life”: Why does Grace look so happy? And where’d all the balloons go?

Hey, what’s up with Grace? She looks kind of happy/guilty/amazed. Who was she blowing up balloons with?

How can Adrian read Grace so well, when they’ve only been BFFs for a few weeks?

ABC Family has uploaded this video of Adrian & Ricky as a teaser to next week’s episode, Whoomp! There it is! (Note: This may be subject to change….).

Next on “Secret Life”: Ricky disinvites his foster mom to the shower by accident.

Is this sneak peek the best moment of the day, or are we just really into “The Secret Life of The American Teenager”? Who cares? Let’s just watch this clip from the next episode. Then tell us what you think, and tell your friends they can watch it too.

Doing her last-minute best to arrange Amy’s shower, Adrian calls Ricky to see if he wants to invite anyone in his foster family to the event. But that’s not what he’s looking for. And then his foster mom shows up.

Can you believe Ricky is still chasing after Adrian when he’s all “working dad” now?
