So did everyone else.

The original script had Molly Ringwald’s character end up with Ducky. The women in the test audiences wanted her to end up with Andrew McCarthy, so Hughes re-wrote the ending.

Not to be deterred, Hughes rewrote the script, flipped the genders, had the lead character end up with the friend instead of the more popular love interest like he wanted to in the first place, and called it Some Kind of Wonderful. Nobody minded this time.

Ringwald’s refusal to take the Mary Stuart Masterson role in that film is the reason she never worked for Hughes again.
