Delos Santos, Umali, Dela Cruz, Llansang, and Martinez were part of the original cast, but had more screen time in the second batch. Members of both batches would intermittently appear in both TGIS and the first year of Growing Up.

 

Curtis and Marquez would later form part of a third batch that were featured in the final few months of TGIS' run from August to November 1999. Their batch's story is set in an alternate timeline, where Curtis' character falls for Wacks. Sotto was included in the second batch after the original cast went to Growing Up. She would join them in 1998.

 

TGIS The Movie

TGIS The Movie was a 1997 film tie-in to the series which was released in early January 1997

Plot

Wacks plans a weekend get-away using his father's yacht without him knowing. However, the boat breaks down, forcing the group to stay on a nearby island. The boat is not tightly anchored to the bottom, forcing it to drift further away from the island with nobody onboard. Left stranded, the gang try to survive as their loved ones search for them. Eager to find help, the guys move out using an improvised raft, but not before Wacks finally confesses his feelings for Peachy, who fell unconscious in a bat cave. The entire group is eventually rescued the following day.
