High School Musical‘s Troy and Gabriella set the bar high for fictional couples — and HSMTMTS‘ Ricky and Gina have officially taken over for the next generation of fans.
When the original film franchise aired from 2006 to 2008, Troy (Zac Efron) and Gabriella’s (Vanessa Hudgens) connection was undeniable. The couple weathered numerous ups and downs before getting their happily ever after in the third movie.
