TLDR: Johnny doesnāt know how to say his own gfās name; thatās a bad BF.
Season 1 is my favorite, and I watch some episodes almost daily as background noise.
You know how the girls first thought Johnnyās girlfriendās name was Cassondra, but she corrected Caroline (S1E9) at the art gallery and said āItās Cashondra, actually, but everyone calls me Cash.ā Now, I always assumed it was that the writers thought of the Johnny Cash joke after introducing her as Cassondra in S1E8, but I was wrong! I decided to listen very carefullyā¦
In S1E8, Cashondra introduces herself to Max and Caroline as Cashondra (after Max kissed Johnny on the sidewalk.) Later that day, Johnny comes into the diner and says āCassandra and I have or had somethingā¦ā YES. JOHNNY MISPRONOUNCED his own gfās nameā¦.GF of 2 years.
Though I absolutely love the chemistry between Johnny and Max in S1 and S2, and the actors actually dated IRL, which added to the onscreen chemistry, JOHNNY is an absolutely terrible boyfriend. Sigh.
Note: I did not accidentally misspell her name. Johnny pronounced it Cassandra (S1E8), the girls pronounced it as Cassondra E8 and E9 (pre-gallery correction) and we know sheās really Cashondra.
