Teen Gen or Teen Generation is a Filipino teen drama television series created and directed by Mark Reyes, developed by Kit Villanueva-Langit and produced by GMA Network. The show premiered on December 16, 2012, aired every Sunday at 3:00 p.m. time slot and December 23, 2012 worldwide via GMA Pinoy TV. It concluded on June 30, 2013 and consisted of 28 episodes. The series is a spin-off of the 90's youth-oriented show T.G.I.S. and revolves around a group of young people making the journey from adolescence to adulthood.
In a subdivision somewhere in Quezon City, original TGIS character Joaquin "Wacks" Torres III moves in. Unknown to him, his former girlfriend and fiancee, Maria Patrice "Peachy" Real, is living right next door. A series of circumstances results in the two discovering that they are neighbors, and despite misgivings about their past romance, gradually rekindle their friendship over the course of the season. The renewed friendship leads to Wacks asking Peachy to give their love a second chance.
The season also introduces the main characters. Wacks' son Lucho, who leads the so-called TG, or Team Gwapo (Gwapo is Tagalog for handsome) a four-man clique of heartthrobs at the fictional West Ridge High School - his best friend Itos, cousin Tiago, and country bumpkin JV. The quartet transferred to the school after being expelled from another school. TG's hijinks at the school sets them on a collision course with four specific teenage girls - Peachy's daughter Lyka, K-Pop aficionado Angge, campus socialite Madison, and JV's childhood friend Drew. TG's interactions with the girls triggers positive changes in them.
The season begins with the characters going on a summer escapade. With Lyka's attachment to Lucho getting stronger, she has a fit of jealousy upon seeing his former girlfriend. Tiago starts courting Angge, who is still uneasy on whether to stay single until she finishes school or accept him as her first boyfriend. Itos, who had started to bond with Madison, flies to the US and Xavi de Leon, a young man booted off TG years before for various issues with the other members, appears and reconciles with them; he takes a liking to Madison as well. Noticing that JV and Drew may be harboring hidden feelings for each other, Xavi and Madison engineer various schemes to make the two finally accept how they feel.
Meanwhile, Wacks and Peachy continue to spend time together. However, Wacks' ex-wife Violet reappears out of concern for Lucho when he has an accident with Lyka and lands in the hospital. She eventually learns of Wacks and Peachy's old romance, but Wacks implores on her to let him go. When Peachy goes on an out-of-town trip, Wacks gets nervous and looks for her. Determined not to lose her again, Wacks proposes to Peachy and she accepts. The two are determined to push through despite Peachy's fears of bad karma over their botched wedding several years before (depicted in Growing Up).
