[VIDEO] ‘Outer Banks’ Season 3: Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline Interview

Warning: This publish accommodates spoilers for Outer Banks‘ Season 3 finale. Proceed accordingly.

Not shade to Outer Banks‘ second season — wherein Sarah practically died of a gunshot, amongst different indignities — however the just-released Season 3 could be the most harrowing but for each John B. and Sarah.

The cause: Both characters lose their fathers (in the identical episode!) when Big John Routledge and Ward Cameron die within the season finale. Ward was shot as he fell from a cliff after charging one among Singh’s guards when he went after Sarah. Big John was hit by one among Singh’s bullets and, although he lived to see John B. and Sarah discover the misplaced gold of El Dorado, he succumbed to his wounds in a ship through the river journey afterward. (Read a full recap right here.)

“When I saw the scripts, I was like, ‘Oh, thanks, [executive producers] Jonas [Pate], Josh [Pate] and Shannon [Burke]. You’re really kinda throwing me for a loop here,’” Chase Stokes, who performs John B., tells TVLine. “But challenge was accepted, and I’m really proud of the work we did this year.”

Madelyn Cline, who performs Sarah, says the season ends at a “really, really painful place of resolve” for her character, who’s at odds with Ward proper up till the second of his demise. But it’s not all gloomy, we promise: We get a dig in at Topper earlier than the top of the interview, and all is properly.
