Fans began rooting for the Netflix drama shortly after it was launched in April 2020. Chase Stokes Madelyn Cline, John B. Cameron and Sarah Cameron on-screen and offscreen.
“I think there is such thing as a love that just absolutely takes over and it flips your world upside down,” Cline told Seventeen magazine in May 2020 about John B. and Sarah’s love story. “I remember when I was a teenager, I was into young adult books and there was always a pinnacle love story of star-crossed lovers. So to be able to be a part of creating that for this next generation was really a dream come true as a storyteller.”
She said that Stokes and her chemistry was natural.
“Chase, [our creator] Jonas [Pate]From the beginning, Cline and I sat down together and discussed the relationship. We wanted to make sure it was real and it had depth to it,” Cline explained. “There were things that Chase and I specifically added to the script that felt personal. It has to be compelling. It’s got to be compelling. We all felt like we were friends from the beginning because we all clicked with each other and had great chemistry. So building on that and then projecting it on the screen felt very, very real.”
Stokes spoke for his part. Nylon magazine that he and Cline “wanted to do justice to shows of the past and create a really authentic love experience,” citingGossip Girl and One Tree Hill, The O.C. 90210 as examples.
“You watch these shows and you genuinely think these people are in love with each other,” he said in May 2020. “We did a lot of research, did a deep dive into those shows, and made sure we followed the structure of how those worked. We decided to focus less on the physicality of the show and more on the intellectual connections between them. John B. and Sarah obviously don’t have the same upbringing. They fall in love not because of what their worlds bring, it’s about what their emotional connection is. We just really wanted to make sure that Maddie and I became good enough friends to where we knew each other and find little ticks and nuances that would make each other laugh, and make sure we translated that into the performance.”
