The Season 1 finale of 'High School Musical: The Musical: The Series' was the start of something new for Nini (Olivia Rodrigo) and Ricky (Joshua Bassett).
— and relies heavily on the creativity of its Gen Z talent to succeed. The scene in question happened to be the climax of Friday’s Season 1 finale, in which Nini and her ex, Ricky , rekindle their love after a season-long show-mance.“The relationship between Ricky and Nini has been such a slow burn, and to finally get a resolution was so gratifying,” Rodrigo said.
“I pulled Joshua aside, and I was like, ‘Just talk to her. Just tell her you love her,’” Federle said. “‘And if it means you improvise something that isn’t on the page, I just need to see Ricky put it all on the line.’” “It’s an actor’s dream and an actor’s nightmare at the same time,” Bassett said. “It’s funny, because Joshua was nervous about what he’s going to say, and the character, Ricky, happens to be nervous about what he’s going to say, too, so I think it played well. ... It is the most powerful feeling in the world when you don’t even have to think, and it just comes through you. It was really a magical moment.
Knowing they both dabbled in songwriting, Federle approached Rodrigo and Bassett early on in production and alerted them of a potential opportunity to submit an original ballad for the show.
