Always wondered what happened to Gib and Alison


There are only a handful of films where I always wondered what happened to the characters after the film ended. I guess that is part of the magic of movies... especially good ones. And for me I always wondered what happened to the characters of Gib and Alison in The Sure Thing. So without getting goofy (i.e. Gib ran off to Hollywood and changed his name to John Cusack and became a movie star), what do you think happened to them?

My bet is that they dated for a year or two but ultimately broke up sometime in their junior year. They remained friendly - since they would share a lot of the same friends - but ultimately went their own way after college. Especially since the Internet wasn't around. Both ended up meeting other people, doing well professionally, and reconnected many years later on Facebook.

That's all I got.

I was wondering the same thing. Such is real life. I have over 20 friends on Facebook that I was in high school with and none of them married anybody that was even at the same high school. Guess the same goes with college, but all mine was night classes.

Gib looked like he wanted to calm down a bit, and Alison could handle her beer. But how much did they really have in common? What would they end up doing after college?
