I don’t say this as a portwell shipper or EJ Stan but as a fan of the show in general.
EJ's line does NOT justify Ricky slapping him. Some people thought it was beautiful and deserved, but if the situation were the other way around, EJ would already be being crucified and called a monster. You are very hypocritical and you have already proved it.
Now y’all can ignore this because this is me as a Portwell stan. Insinuating that EJ "stole" Gina from him was not it for me. For one, IT'S NOT EVEN TRUE. At the time of portwell getting closer & developing feelings, he was with Nini! He didn’t even bother Gina after Carlos party

So I saw @hattathehattxr answer an anon about would they want Portwell to get back together on the show, with some really great points about the only ways it would really make sense, given the narrative they’ve painted themselves into. I’ve actually had a sort of blue print of how *I* would do it kicking around in my head, so... here’s my thought.
- End the ‘flagship’ show with S4. It feels like Josh wants to be done, Julia is poised to be in another Broadway show if The Secret Garden transfers as expected, and both Joe and Frankie have been booking live theater gigs as well. It just feels like they’d be better off calling it on the original cast after this year. Not to mention the original concept has gotten SO meta, I can’t even figure out where you go from there.
- SO the storyline for S4... Ricky is super anxious about being a senior and what comes next, and repeats some of his clingy stuff with Gina. But this time he figures out that’s what he’s doing, and genuinely learns to embrace change. After Miss Jenn and Mike break up, they both make the decision that they want to move to Chicago so Ricky can be closer to his mom. Gina is proud of him for embracing change, but can’t do long distance. Ricky understands, they break up amicably. 
- In the finale, EJ has returned to Salt Lake from his stint in “success school”, newly determined not to let his father rule his life. He tells Ashlyn that he’s been accepted into a film making competition in LA. The winner gets admission to film school, and he’s determined to get that spot.
- With nothing with Ricky tying her to Salt Lake, and inspired by getting to know Mack (Matt Sato’s character who’s an actor), Gina decides to make the leap to move to LA and seriously pursue an acting career. Which leads to...
HSMTMTS: The Spinoff: Gina’s Fabulous Adventure! 
- Following the blueprint from the original HSM franchise that follows Sharpay moving to NYC, Gina moves to LA to live with her brother (because we NEED more Jordan Fisher, people!) 
- Gina and Mack spend most of S1 of the spin off in a sweet little relationship, but Gina can’t help but feel like something is missing. Mack is great, but doesn’t get her the way her other partners both have, leading her to re-evaluate what happened with EJ a bit.
- Gina doesn’t find success immediately, and is feeling discouraged. In a deeply stereotypical LA moment, her car breaks down in the rain. Jamie’s not answering and Mack is on set. Desperate, Gina calls the one other person she knows in LA... EJ. Who of course, shows up for her.
- Mack gets a gig shooting on location in London for six months. They agree they’re not the kind of thing that lasts, and have a mutual breakup. Gina says she’s fine, but is actually still wondering why nothing stays in her life. 
- Meanwhile, she and EJ are rebuilding their friendship, and EJ invites her to the final screening for the film competition he’s entered. When Gina goes, she’s shocked that his short film is the story of the last summer. She’s initially angry and goes to leave, but then she starts to see what it was really like from EJ’s perspective, the intense anxiety that he was feeling and how hard he WAS trying to be there for her... that she never was a maybe.
- At the end of the screening, EJ is announced as the winner. Gina is so happy and proud of him... and then sees him celebrating by kissing the girl who played ‘her’ in the movie... and there’s our S1 cliffhanger!!
Obviously S2 (and maybe even a S3) gets Gina and EJ back together. But I think there’s so much more story that they COULD tell for these two! Tim said in an interview that EJ will be “an important factor” in future seasons, but I don’t trust him with these characters at this point. This is how I’d love to see EJ get the storyline he deserves, and help Gina really become the main girl SHE deserves to be. 
Disney Plus, call me! (ETA: You know, call me after you decide to pay writers a fair wage for their work, without which you would HAVE NO CONTENT. Sorry, had to get a WGA plug in there.)

Portwell deserves so much better. I hate the way the writers treated them. They could of easily made their relationship work but the writers wanted rina to happen instead. I am sorry to say it but Ricky doesn't deserve Gina after the way he treated her in season 2 the fact he still hasn't apologize to Gina for the way he treated her in season 2 really makes me mad. At least with EJ he actually apologizes and tries to make up for his mistakes which is something Ricky should do more often.
As much as I try to avoid the triangle,portwell was the better ship and im tired of pretending it wasn’t.Rina won’t last.Writers probably gonna pull a rini and break them up.This show has gotten annoying.EJ was the bigger person and as much as I wish Ricky happiness,I just don’t think Gina can last with him.Ricky,just like E.J,will also start looking for colleges and everything Elton did??Idk that’s just my opinion.Thank u for coming to my Ted talk.

From where is your banner?
hiii <3
my banner is an excerpt is from the portwell fanfic, then somebody bends, unexpectedly by the wonderful @lovelyserpentines !! click for fic link here ❤️ without giving much away let me say that it has everything: slow-burn, best friends to lovers trope, mutual pining, fluff… it’s like a warm hug but in 100k-word novel form hahaha
and jic ur not familiar w portwell, it’s a ship from the disney+ show, high school musical: the musical: the series (hsmtmts) — and if you haven’t seen hsmtmts i recommend watching season 1 & 2 — but only up to the 9th episode of s2 — because that’s where tsbu picks up/diverges from. personally, i believe the show truly goes downhill after that 🥴
also if you do end up reading tsbu, when you get up to that part in my banner huuuge warning you genuinely might tear up like they are so perfect to me

Back at it with my version of how, post-S4 canon, EJ and Gina reunite as adults, when they're ready for their second chance.
Welcome to A Second Chance Is All.
EJ is starting his third year of teaching with some bad news: The funding for the film club and a cappella group that he runs has been slashed by the San Diego Unified school board, and he's got to figure out how to keep his kids' dreams alive. With Ashlyn's help, he devises a plan to save their program. Which involves as assist from some famous faces... including Gina.
A few hours north in Hollywood, Gina's about to be canceled after a series of on-set events and a tell-all interview paint her as a difficult diva. She needs to get out of LA and away from the glare of the paparazzi and gossip sites. When Ashlyn reaches out saying EJ needs her help, she finds herself on the road to San Diego searching for a redemption arc, and on a collision course with her past.
As they work with EJ's next generation Wildcats to make magic happen, old feelings resurface and old wounds get reopened. Can they set all that aside to help the kids? Or will the things that broke them apart the first time end up being the ones that put them back together for good?
A Portwell Future Fic about finding your way back to the things that really matter, and making the most of second chances.

there's very few people i can't stand more than a "if olivia had never left the show, r*ni would've been endgame" truther
you mean to tell me that the same ship that was already having communication issues less than 5 minutes after their big love confession scene was going to be endgame? and you want me to be convinced it's not just the nostalgia and obsession with real life shipping talking? (because let's be honest, more than half of r*ni's hype existed because of j*livias, without them, it's hard to even believe the ship would've made a dent of impact)
then of course there's not only tim's interviews that came after the season 1 finale aired where he talked about how not every couple lasts as well as the importance of portraying healthy breakups in high school, but the fact that the first 3 episodes of season 2, all written sometime between late 2019 and early 2020, explicitly showed r*ni's communication issues and overall incompatibility. they were never a ship that was built to last. i don't see how they could've made it more obvious.
