In reality, would Andrea still be married all these years later?
I doubt it. She was unhappy early on and still seemed to be at the 5 year high school reunion.
Seems one of those situations where they would never have stayed together if not for having a child.
IMO, they never should have married to begin with. It was ridiculous. What a messed up move for her character. Experiencing single motherhood could have given her a new activist passion, and grew her character quite a bit. Other options would have been hide GC's pregnancy or play into the weight gain, like Andrea being the one to experience the "Freshman 15" or they could have had her study abroad for a semester. THAT would have worked out perfectly, timing wise. But nope, they make the most idiotic decision possible and marry an 18/19 year old full-time college student.
That said, I agree they wouldn't still be married. That marriage didn't stand a chance.

DID they actually get a divorce?
Was the status of her marriage to Jesse ever addressed again after that 5 year reunion episode?
I seem to recall a scene where she & Brandon are talking & he's asking her if she's done everything possible to save her marriage.
She says they have & indicates that it's over. She also has a conversation w/ a fellow '93 grad about how he is getting divorced & Andrea smiles as if to say- "Wow. Me too!"
They reconciled
shareI agree zero chemistry between them.
shareI would have had her paired with another person--like Sanders...who liked her and her passion. On the other hand Gabrielle wanted off of the show. If she still wanted to stay pairing her w steve would have made the most sense. Steve was always in awe of her.
shareI personally liked her best with Dan.
shareDidn't she cheat on her husband once?
shareShe cheated on him, yes.
shareAnd then acted like hers was "justified" but when she found out Jesse cheated too, she had a fit.
shareSuch a soap opera! Haha.
It's funny because I read the synopsis to that episode and decided not to watch it because I know exactly where that was going. "Turns out Jesse had a secret of his own." Oh boy. Turns out I was right.

Why was she unhappy early on? I recall her being upset his mom put a rosary on the baby.
shareShe's Jewish
shareWhich was such a retcon. Andrea was introduced as having been raised in a non-religious household by parents with different religious backgrounds. I found it hard to believe that she suddenly turned into a radical Jew.
shareShe mentioned her religious background to Brandon once when she was attending a college open house in San Marino.
shareWhen it suited her, she was all Jewish. Including telling Jesse He would have no say, because it was *her* baby.
Of curse, when it came to :child" support, it was his baby too.
or she could have been paired with Josh Richland--who knew about her work at West Beverly. They're basically the same anyways. It would be very convincing the two of them would hook up.
shareShe gave up on reporting because she didn't want to slam the Peach Pit. I could see the two hooking up though. And if they still killed Josh off, her as a single mother.
