History Series / FifteenLove

* ForgottenFallenFriend: Averted and played straight. Due to the actors' deaths, the characters of Megan and Sebastien are killed in an offscreen plane crash and the next episode has all the characters grieving and place a photograph of Megan and Sebastien in the rec room. However, aside from a later episode where Adena recalls how a returning guest-star once flirted with Megan, they aren't discussed which is not uncommon as Megan and Sebastien are a painful subject. The deceased actors receive a dedication in the credits of the series finale.

The show's characters remained more or less consistent from season to season, with [[AudienceSurrogate Cody Myers]], [[TheTease Adena Styles]] and [[HighSchoolHustler Gary "Squib" Furlong]] present from the first episode until the last. Other mainstays included school president [[DeanBitterman Harold Bates]], ButtMonkey Rick Geddes, and child tennis prodigy [[LittleMissBadass Sunny Capaduca]]. In Season 1, Megan O'Conner and Sebastian Dube were also a part of the main cast; following their actors' deaths they were replaced by Tanis [=McTaggart=] and Cameron White in Season 2, and Cassidy Payne and Jesse Siegel in Season 3. Coach Artie Gunnarson, present in both Seasons 1 & 2 was replaced in Season 3 by Coach Brock, and Nate Bates, the school president's son joined the cast.

* AbortedArc: Due to the tragic deaths of actors Creator/JaclynLinetsky (Megan) and Vadim Schneider (Sebastian), some arcs could not be addressed despite devoting two episodes to Megan and Sebastian's deaths:
** The slow burning romance between Megan and Sebastian never reached any resolution.
** Also, the first 13 episodes have Sebastian claiming to be the son of a wealthy family who owned "half of France", Squib being a snob towards Cascadia students on scholarships, and Sebastian in reality being a working class scholarship student at Cascadia whose father ran a bowling alley in town.
** In a number of episodes, Squib comments on Sebastian using an old (and cheap) tennis racket, and that Sebastian sometimes disappears from campus (because Sebastian's father needs help at the bowling alley).
** Due to Vadim Schenider's death, Squib never learns Sebastian's secret (at least not onscreen; he would have met Sebastian's father at the offscreen funeral and would have learned the truth then).
** However, near the end of the first season, Squib's roommate goes on scholarship and Squib expresses no disdain, a subtle hint that Squib did learn the truth about Sebastian and that Squib ceased looking down on people without money.
** It is also never explained why President Bates, who runs the school and would know Sebastian's true background and scholarship status, introduces Sebastian as being from France and supports Sebastian's false life story.

* LoveTriangle: [[TriangRelations Type 3]] between Sebastian, Adena, and Megan in Season 1, with Megan and Sebastian being attracted to each other and Adena wanting Sebastian. Made worse by the fact that Megan thinks Adena is much more attractive than she is. Season 3 gets more complicated, with Cody in a relationship with Nate but attracted to ex-boyfriend Squib who wants her back.

** In a number of episodes, Squib comments on Sebastian wearing cheap clothes from "a drug store", that Sebastian uses a old tennis racket, and that Sebastian sometimes disappears from campus (because Sebastian's father needs help at the bowling alley).

* PutOnABus: Tanis and Cameron at the end of Season 2.

* NerdsAreVirgins: Not that the characters are nerds, but their lives at Cascadia are so focused on tennis that in the first season, a game of Truth or Dare reveals that nearly every lead character on the show has never had sex. The one exception is the non-tennis player, tomboy Cody, who says that she has had sex at some point before the series premiere. However, this example of OfCourseImNotAVirgin is treated as a triviality with the show never elaborating on Cody's first time or the identity of her first lover.

* RomanticFalseLead: Nate Bates became one for Cody in Season 3. Originally Season 2 had been intended as the final season, with Squib going off to play professionally and Cody getting together with Nate, who she had a lot in common with. When Season 3 began and Squib returned though, the writers had to get rid of Nate. This was done surprisingly tastefully: Cody broke up with him after realising they had ''too much'' in common; the two of them remained friends, and Nate eventually left the school to pursue a career in the theatre, something his character had always wanted to do. Violet was a more traditional one for Squib, being a psychotic {{Yandere}} who just hid it well.

''15/Love'' was a Canadian-produced television series revolving around the lives of the students at Cascadia, a British Columbia private school geared towards aspiring tennis players. The show ran for three seasons and fifty-four episodes, beginning in September of 2004 and finishing in October of 2006. The show was notable for having had not one, but two of its main characters killed off in the Season 1 finale following the tragic RealLife deaths of their actors in a car crash.

The show was broadcast on YTV and enjoyed a relatively successful run, given the odd premise.

'''Tropes Appearing In This Series Include:'''

* JerkJock: Squib and Jesse both have aspects of this but get over it. Sunny is a rarity being a young female example.

* JerkassFacade: Jesse, who acts like a total prick because he thinks it'll [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys help him get girls]].

Not to be confused with ''15-Love'', the three-issue MarvelComics series.

* TheCasanova: Subverted. Jesse in Season 3 looks and acts the part but has never actually had sex. This more or less [[AManIsNotAVirgin kills his reputation]] when it comes out.

* AManIsNotAVirgin: Discussed in one Season 1 episode where, when all the characters are talking about their romantic lives; both the guys claim to have had sex, while the girls are divided 2-1 (it should be noted that of the two guys, Sebastian is quite obviously lying, while [[HighSchoolHustler Squib]] may well be telling the truth). Brought up again in Season 3 with Jesse's problems in that department.

* BlondesAreEvil: Sunny Capaduca looked like a cute little blonde girl, but was the closest thing to a recurring villain that the series had. Avoided with Cassidy in Season 3, and [[BlondGuysAreEvil Squib]] who was a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold bit of a jerk]] but far from evil.

* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: When Jaclyn Linetsky and Vadim Schneider were killed in a car crash, their characters (Megan O'Conner and Sebastian Dube) were killed in a plane crash on the way back from a tournament.

* DawsonCasting: Most of the kids were in their late teens/early twenties when filming began; they were supposed to be fifteen. Sunny, who's treated like a little girl, was ''actually'' fifteen.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Nate Bates for his father, President Bates. They get better.
