Jessica Biel, watch out for the new girl in town!

This summer, 18-year-old Shailene Woodley stunned household television audiences as the 15-year-old Amy Juergens in ABC Family’s new show, “The Secret Life of the American Teenager.” Woodley, who first gained fame with a role on “The O.C.,” proves she has grown up by perfectly fitting into her more mature role.

Director Brenda Hampton, who is the mastermind behind the notable family series “7th Heaven,” worked her magic again to create a new show that combines the storyline of the 2007 film “Juno” with the dramatic life lessons of “7th Heaven.”

During the first eight episodes, Woodley’s character, Amy, has faced intense decisions, family struggles and ugly gossip. As a freshman at Grant High School, Amy had big dreams to become the best French horn player in the band hoping to attend Julliard. Unfortunately, one night at band camp changed Amy’s life forever.

The whole school is filled with whispers as Amy walks down the hallway. Everyone knows that Amy is having the school heartthrob’s baby, but the drama does not end there because it simply would not be Hampton’s style.

In order to spice up the series, Hampton adds in Amy’s cheating father, extremely religious cheerleaders and baby mama drama, involving adoption.

Of course, no series would be complete without the perfect romance. Ben (Kenny Baumann), an awkward teenager who is in love with Amy, is determined to do whatever it takes to take care of Amy, even if it means marrying her.

With an already interesting set of characters, a thick plot and an intense emotional feel, the show has consistently captivated viewers this summer by including John Schneider from the original “Dukes of Hazard” series to play a pastor. It’s amusing to watch this rowdy Bo Duke preaching on love and morals.

Woodley and her talented ensemble cast have provided an inspirational show that people of any age can truly enjoy. With surprising twists and witty humor, “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” is in the running to provide as many memorable seasons as “7th Heaven.”

The only question left is to see if Woodley will rise to the occasion and become the next Biel.
