Dana is back in Jenkintown on The Goldbergs tonight!
Natalie Alyn Lind makes a dream like arrival back on the series in a brand new teaser, and Sean Giambrone, who plays Adam, can not contain his giddyness about it. Check it out below!
Elsewhere in the episode, Barry (Troy Gentile) and Erica (Hayley Orrantia) are finally off to college, until they realize they have nowhere on campus to live. Oops!
The Goldbergs airs TONIGHT, Wednesday, October 2nd @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
The actress plays Jackie, Adam’s girlfriend in the show — and did you know that she was based off a real person?
Creator Adam Goldberg told EW that Jackie was actually based off the woman who plays her mother in the show.
“A lot of the stories this year center around Adam and his girlfriend Jackie, who’s a real person – she’s actually an actor who played [Jackie's] mom last year and is going to be recurring playing her TV mom, which is so wild,” he said. “I actually met the real Jackie in theater camp. Back then, to find someone with your interests was so rare. This was like a legitimate ’80s girl geek, so we’re calling it ‘nerd love.’”
For the ep, the real Adam says that it might tear Jackie and Adam’s relationship apart.
“She’s a Trekkie and he’s a major Star Wars kid and it tears their relationship apart. I’m very proud of that story. It rings very true for me.”
