Throughout this week, fans are talking about Life Unexpected for two reasons:

1. Its polarizing finale on Monday night.
2. Its odd of getting renewed for a second season.

The CW has until May 19 to reveal the show's fate, but creator Liz Tigelaar sounds optimistic. In an interview with Zap2It, she even discusses storylines and plans for another round of 13 episodes.

On the evolution of Lux: We're trying to explore what Lux will do now that she knows Cate and Baze want her. She wants to be somebody worthy of the faith they've put in her. She doesn't want them to think they got a dud, you know? That they just adopted a lemon.

On Austin Butler landing a new pilot: If Jones is available to us, Jones will very much be a part of the show. If he's not, I do have an idea for another guy character. I would like to see more people from Lux's school.

On Tasha and Bug: I would love to get Tasha into Lux's high school. We want Bug to come back. I love the relationship between Baze and Bug and I'd love to grow that in the second season whether Bug and Lux are together or not. There's also much more to explore with Lux and Bug's relationship -- the history of it and how it continues to develop as they move apart. People are going to find themselves in new roles.
