What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver News, and after months of speculation,
Outer Banks stars Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline finally confirmed their relationship
over the weekend, and fans are ecstatic!
If it’s not made Instagram official, we all know that the relationship never really
happened.
Netflix’ newest teen drama series just got juicer over the weekend when Chase Stokes,
who plays the group’s ring leader, John B., confirmed his relationship with co-star
Madelyn Cline after months of speculation.
On Sunday night, Chase shared a photo of Madelyn while picnicking on the beach with a bottle
of wine, writing, “Cats outta the bag.”
Madelyn also commented on Chase’ post, referencing her love interest in the series, saying, “Topper
punching the air right now,” along with, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.”
Chase and Madelyn’s fellow Outer Banks co-star Jonathan Daviss, who plays Pope, also commented
on the photo, writing, “Well it’s about time,” followed by a string of heart emojis.
Along with the Outer Banks circle, it seems fans of the show are THRILLED for Chase and
Madelyn, and are sharing their congratulations for the couple they’ve been shipping for
quite some time now.
One fan wrote, “oh my god madelyn cline and chase stokes are dating that means every
time they had a john b and sarah scene they also developed feelings and fell for eachother
WHAT IS LIFE.”
Another user wrote, “the fact that madelyn and chase are dating in real life might be
the only good thing to come outta 2020 no cap.”
And like many, this fan was already convinced that the two previously had something going
on, writing, “if you didn't guess that madelyn cline and chase stokes were together did you
even watch outer banks?”
The news also comes after Madelyn revealed to Cosmopolitan that she and Chase have been
quarantining together, saying, “For most of quarantine, me, Rudy, Chase, Drew, and
our friend Elaine, we were all quarantined together for about a month and a half.
So before the show came out, we were all together, and then the show came out and we kinda got
to experience this all coming to life together, which was really cool."
But seriously, if you haven’t yet tuned into Outer Banks, I’d highly suggest you
do so while we’re still on lockdown, because it recently reached the No. 1 spot on the
U.S. Top 10 list of shows to watch.
The show has been described as Goosebumps and The Goonies meets The O.C., but despite
being a fan-favorite, Chase recently revealed in an interview that he almost passed on reading
for the role.
He said QUOTE, “The thing is, I love the Goonies so much that sometimes when you see
reboots happen and they don’t hit as hard as they should.
And with the Goonies, it’s such an iconic piece of cinema and it’s so beloved by so
many people, so when I saw it, I was like, ‘I don’t want to do that.
I don’t want to be the guy responsible for destroying a cult classic film.’”
But after giving the script another chance, Chase admitted, “I read it and I was like,
‘Oh, this is not the Goonies.’
I made a giant mistake back in February.”
The news also comes a few months after Chase was forced to issue an apology for some insensitive
tweets that surfaced from years ago.
In his tweets, Chase used some racial and anti-LGBTQ slurs, and even mocked people with
disabilities.
Chase issued an apology back in March, saying, “Yes.
I will address this.
I was not hiding.
I consulted in one of my closest friends just as anybody else would.
I have posted insensitive tweets.
My Facebook has been hacked countless times.
The picture isn’t even of me or anybody I know.”
He went on to say, “This does not excuse my words, nor am I excusing myself.
I will continue to work towards using my platform in the same capacity I have been and doing/bringing
light into the world.”
Oddly enough, after the apology was posted, Chase’ entire Twitter feed was wiped clean
to which he claimed that “somebody obviously got access to my account.”
It seems that since then, some fans have been able to forgive Chase for his past indiscretions
considering how happy they are for him and Madelyn.
In lighter Outer Banks news, the show’s writers have confirmed that a season two is
being written and in the works.
Assuming that season 1 took nine months to wrap filming and aired in April of this year,
season 2 is likely to follow the same pattern, which could land in 2021 as a start date due
to the pandemic.
The entire cast including Chase, Madelyn and Jonathan, along with Madison Bailey, Austin
North, Rudy Pankow and Drew Starkey is set to return for the second season, with a strong
rumor that Charles Esten will also return to play Ward Cameron.
The second season will most likely kick off where season 1 ended, and pick up from the
storyline of Bahamas.
So fans may have to wait a little while longer to solve the mystery, but this gives you plenty
of time to start your Outer Banks binge.
