E! has a new interview with Life Unexpected show runner, Liz Tigelaar, who, like show’s lead character, was adopted. For those not in the know, the show is about a Portland, OR orphan (Britt Robertson) who is adopted by her biological parents (Shiri Appleby, Kristoffer Polaha). Cate had Lux when she was a teen and gave her up, thinking she would be adopted right away, but Lux had a heart condition that kept her out of a home and in the foster care system. Until, she finds her birth parents at the age of 16 while trying to become emancipated.
As for Tigelaar, she actually relates to mom Cate, more than Lux. “I feel very close to both characters. Thematically, the show deals with what I deal with in my own life, which is that feeling of being caught between being a kid and being an adult. “Wait, is this really how being grownup is supposed to feel?”
