Although a good girl she continues to like bad boys which doesn’t fit well with her public image or career choice. Diana is Donna’s best friend; she always had a crush on Bob the high school jock. She moved away, has been married and divorced, but is really hoping that she can re-connect with Bob at the reunion, since she knows he never married. Sue (Runaround Sue) married Dwane shortly after graduating, due to the imminent birth of their first child. They have had a rocky relationship but are still together. The Guys: Bob, the high school coach and ex- high school football star, is actually secretly gay but doesn’t want to come out for obvious reasons.
