'Awkward' season 5 plot news: End of a bromance; Jenna becomes popular
It was hinted that the bromance between Matty and Jake will end in the upcoming episodes of "Awkward" season 5.
The first episode saw Jenna, played by Ashley Rickards, in a dilemma when she found out that Matty's (Beau Mirchoff) girlfriend, Gabby, played by Erinn Westbrooks, cheated on him. After consulting her mother, Jenna decided that she was not to tell Matty about Gabby cheating with Matty's bestfriend Jake, played by Brett Davern, because he might think that she is still interested in him.
With that, it was rumored that Jake and Matty's friendship will be in jeopardy for the upcoming season. Both actors hinted that there will be several twists in the upcoming season that will deteriorate their friendship.
According to E! News, Davern said, "They might very well never speak again if this ever gets out. I think Jake has to figure out why this even happened. Why did he even hook up with Gabby? He was upset from his Northwestern rejection, he'd had a few beers, he saw Gabby and she was looking good...in the back of his head, I think he's still looking through Jenna's glass doors watching Matty and Jenna hook up [back in season two]. That has always stuck with him whether or not he knows it."
