Part 6 - Genesis of "Life Unexpected"
Though Liz Tigelaar had worked in television for many years, it wasn't until 2010's "Life Unexpected" that she had worked her way up to the coveted position of showrunner. For those who don't know, a showrunner is the person setting the creative direction for the series. They're the final say (except for the network), they hire the writers and directors and it's their vision that everyone works to implement. Usually (but not always) this person is the creator of the show as well.
In this segment, we touch on the development of the long-term arcs in the first season and some of the many things that Liz was faced with during her first year as show-runner. You could probably spend an hour just talking about this element of television production, but Liz's answer here presents an overview of the things she and her writing staff developed during that season.
