Teen dramas have been popular with viewers, old and young, for many years, and the 1990s and early 2000s were the heyday of the genre. With networks dedicated to telling these stories, actors were thrust into the spotlight at a very young age. These new stars were given a variety of topics to cover in their respective shows, from teen romance shows to supernatural teen dramas, and some of them aged better than others. Of course, when watching a show from 20 or 30 years ago, it stands to reason that the storytelling won’t be the same. Still, it’s important to have conversations about how some of the most beloved TV characters handled things.
