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.


Because teenage girls want the cool guy and most girls want the rich guy. Its hardwired hunter-gatherer DNA...the question women ask: who's gonna be man enough to take care of me? Duckie is no hunter.

Plus Duckie was screwed from the get go.

He was in the friend zone, serving 18 to life, and that's a female maximum security prison even Andy Dufresne couldn't escape from.
