"Where Are They Now"?

As fans, we all have our own ideas of what became of our beloved characters after the events of the show. What are some your ideas as to how their lives turned out once the 'Awesome Eighties' came to a close? I'll start.

Jerrica/Jem:

I see Jerrica as a successful CEO of a Fortune 500 company, having ditched the Jem persona once Starlight Music was fully back on its feet and no longer depended on her. One day Jem just 'vanished' without a trace, to be wondered about by DJ's until the end of time.

Having married Rio, I see her having eventually started a beautiful family of her own.

Kimber:

Like Jerrica, I see Kimber as having gotten 'behind' the microphone, and devoted her talents to songwriting, writing some of the biggest hits for some of the biggest acts over the years. Oh yeah, and eventually she chose between her two beaus and got married. Which one? That I don't really have worked out. Dealers choice.

Shana:

I see Shana as having left the music industry entirely, and becoming a successful fashion designer, and eventually marrying her steady.

Aja:

I'll be honest, I don't have a handle on where Aja would go. Perhaps she'd stay in music, and go on to become one of those highly sought after backup artists that go from big band to big band? Or, if I were feeling cheeky, perhaps she marries Bon Nee's father and becomes her new stepmother. ;-)

Pizzazz:

I foresee never ending rounds of jail time and rehab, constantly striving for her 'comeback' in a bid for faded glory. One of those types who continue to dress like they did when they were young, even though those styles are no longer flattering on them.

Roxy:

I could see Roxy still in the music industry, but as a 'lounge lizard' type for some dive bar somewhere, dreaming sweet dreams of past glories.

Jetta:

Probably turned to a full time life of small time crime. Probably bounced in and out of jail.

Stormer:

Avoiding the fate of the rest of the Misfits, I see Stormer as having teamed up with Kimber to become a hot songwriting duo in the music industry.

Eric:

Gone to jail for white collar crimes, and probably still behind bars.

Synergy:

In a crossover bid to appeal, she's become the go to computer resource for the (Hasbro owned) covert anti-terrorism force known as G.I. Joe.

And along those lines, thanks to her association with the (also Hasbro owned) alien visitors known commonly as The Transformers, she now has a sweet new ability to transform herself into a physical presence--which just happens to be the very car that Jerrica drives! (the Roadster)

I like how they all would have ended up, except for Pizazz. I can see her still in the industry, just having changed with the times. She's still making music, just having gone solo after a few trips to rehab and mending fences with her father before his death.

What about the Starlight girls? Might a couple of them have wound up in the music industry due to the easy access?
Also, how would Rio finding out have gone down? The only way they could survive it as a couple would be if Jerrica told him. If he were to find out accidentally, he'd never believe she planned to tell him eventually. I suppose they'd both have to eat humble pie and admit that they both behaved badly(Jerrica for withholding information and Rio for "cheating") for the two of them to move forward from this.

I wonder, would Jerrica have actively played a role in helping any of her 'kids' that wanted to go into music professionally? Or would she have felt that they needed to make it on their own, without her help?

Maybe she would have formed her own kids group, ala One Direction. 😉

As for Rio, I could seriously see Jerrica sidestepping the entire 'triangle' by having 'Jem' completely vanish one day, never to be seen again. Then, as 'Jerrica,' being there to help Rio pick up the pieces of his heart and merge them back into their own relationship. Ultimately leaving Jem as a fond 'two ships passing in the night' memory for Rio, without ever having to know what she and Jerrica were in fact one and the same.

In regards to the Starlight girls, the only ones who seemed interested in music were Deidre and the other girls in her band, maybe Ashley as well. I could only see Deidre pursuing a career in music, assuming that the other girls saw the band thing as a childhood hobby. Of course, you never know if they had any real interest in music.

Also, what about The Stingers? Also, what about Raya?
