Jake Morgendorffer: Difference between revisions

Line 165:
* According to Glenn Eichler in an interview, Jake has an older sister.
 
* Jake is one of [[Anne D. Bernstein]]'s favourite characters because of his churning mass of strong, random emotions.
* In the internal production bio for Jake, shown on the DVD, we saw that Jake was intended to "consider himself pretty liberal, but that's mostly just a sentimental, nostalgic view of his old self" and that he was now apolitical "unless something threatens his money, or a neighbour is running for the school board". He said he "tries to be" sensitive and understanding to avoid making his father's mistakes, but "when he gets pushed, he goes ahead and makes them anyway: grounds the children, drinks". Much of this wouldn't make it into the show itself, and Jake repeating his father's mistakes was an idea that would be dropped early on (in "[[The Big House]]", he grounds the girls because he's following Helen's lead and isn't sure why they're doing it).
