I found this post someone shared about what the creator Winnie Holzman said about what he had in mind for season 2 of 'My So-Called Life'.
"I would have gotten somebody pregnant. Sharon's the obvious choice. I would have made Angela unable to resist turning to Brian Krakow for advice about her doomed relationship with Jordan Catalano, and I would have split Graham and Patty up, so Patty could fall into a deep depression- the kind where you can't get out of bed- so that Angela is forced to somehow run the household. I would have had Ricky move in with Mr. Kamitsky...and when Mr. Kamitsky is fired for the crime of giving a kid a place to live, I would have forced Patty out of her depression to help him. These are the ideas that were playing around in my mind, anyway. But there's an intensity, an of-the-moment-ness to making T.V.- you plan, and the plans go awry, and that's called your script. Then it turns out that weird idea that came to you in the shower is more what you meant anyway. Which is part of what I love about writing."
