{\an8}- What's up, guys?
{\an8}I'm here with 'Outer
Banks' actor, Chase Stokes.
{\an8}- Where is he?
{\an8}I thought I was, I thought
I was talking to you,
{\an8}the 'Outer Banks' girl.
{\an8}You play Sarah Cameron, right?
{\an8}Oh my gosh, I'm a big fan.
{\an8}- Oh my God.
- Hi.
{\an8}I think I'm sweating a lot.
{\an8}- Sorry, I'm crying a little bit.
{\an8}- The fans. We've got
some pretty insane fans.
{\an8}They've obviously been
supporting us like crazy,
{\an8}so what's your take?
{\an8}- [Madelyn] Obviously, the response
{\an8}has been incredible,
{\an8}and the fan base is really amazing.
{\an8}- I went into Target
{\an8}and within like 20 minutes,
{\an8}I had people being like,
{\an8}"Oh my God, it's John B."
{\an8}It's kind of a surreal experience,
{\an8}but it's I think rewarding.
- Gotta go
{\an8}"Incognito John Bandito."
{\an8}- I had a face mask,
{\an8}I had sunglasses, I had
a hat, and a hood on.
{\an8}- No way. It's the hair,
it's gotta be the hair.
{\an8}- Yeah, you're right.
{\an8}- [Madelyn] I always
had high hopes for the show
{\an8}and I always thought we
had something special
{\an8}from like the first day of shooting.
{\an8}But, because there's like
this mutual love for it,
{\an8}it feels like there's this kind of like
{\an2}connection with them.
{\an2}I want to talk with them,
{\an2}and I wanna you know, show
them behind the scene stuff,
{\an2}and I want them to be involved.
{\an2}- [Chase] The content
that we've kind of been
{\an2}continuing to put out has been
pretty obnoxious and funny.
{\an2}It's fun and gratifying
to be able to have vlogged
{\an8}so much stuff from when we were filming
{\an8}to be able to give that to
people sort of as almost like
{\an8}season one and a half, so to speak,
{\an8}so that it's sort of this
like development into
{\an8}continuing to get to know
the characters in a way
{\an8}that I don't think a
lot of shows get to do.
{\an8}- It's great because the
image of the show is actually
{\an8}the friendship between all of us,
{\an8}and I feel like that's really cool
{\an8}that we get to share that
like unfiltered with everyone.
{\an8}- [Chase] Yeah.
{\an8}- How do you feel about Chip Esten's
{\an8}fandom name Outer Bankers?
{\an8}- I love you Chip, if you're watching.
{\an8}But I think the discussion has changed,
{\an8}and I think the fans are gonna
{\an8}be honorary Pogues from now on.
{\an8}So MTV, you've heard it first,
you guys are Pogues.
{\an8}Once a Pogue, always a Pogue.
{\an8}- So, what do you think
{\an8}separates John B. and Sarah's relationship
{\an8}from the cliché 'Romeo and Juliet,'
{\an8}Montagues and Capulets story?
{\an8}- It really breaks down
{\an8}the traditional like teenage relationship,
{\an8}and really focuses a lot on
the connection between the two,
{\an8}and the intimacy emotionally and mentally,
{\an8}versus just the physicality of it.
{\an8}And I think, going back to
modern film and television,
{\an8}and even back into the '90s a little bit,
{\an8}and the early 2000s,
{\an8}there's so much over-sexualisation,
{\an8}and there's so much,
you know, want for lust,
{\an8}and I think with John B. and Sarah,
{\an8}although you know,
there's been some reviews
{\an8}that are like, "It's a teen show
{\an8}"where they're half naked all the time",
{\an8}it's like, right but when
you get down to the dialogue,
{\an8}and the way that these two interact,
{\an8}there's a lot of emotional connection
{\an8}that becomes present,
{\an8}and the communication I think
is the most important thing,
{\an8}and I think in any relationship,
{\an8}whether you're a teenager
or whether you're,
{\an8}you know, married for 50 years,
{\an8}or you are trying to
figure out whether or not
{\an8}this can work.
{\an8}That level of communication
{\an8}and understanding between the two
{\an8}is the absolute most important thing.
{\an8}And I think, you see the
{\an8}difference between her
communication with Topper,
{\an8}and then Sarah's, you know,
{\an8}relationship and the
communication with John B,
{\an8}And you see that that becomes truthful
{\an8}in the way that they communicate,
{\an8}and it makes the comfortability
level that much better.
{\an8}- [Madelyn] As far
as Sarah's concerned,
{\an8}I didn't want people to like her at first,
{\an8}because we love a good character arc.
{\an8}I wanted there to be something about her
{\an8}that kind of makes you think twice,
{\an8}which is kind of from
the perspective of JB.
{\an8}Like, he writes her off to begin with,
{\an8}and then, he kind of slowly is like,
{\an8}you know maybe she's not a
stuck-up as sometimes she acts.
{\an8}We had many conversations
about how you wanted
{\an8}to try and add more depth to you know, JB,
{\an8}and like, little things
that would be like,
{\an8}what would make someone fall in love?
{\an8}Like, what is a quality
that we could add to this,
{\an8}like how could we make
this go a little deeper?
{\an8}And also, to the people who are commenting
{\an8}on us wearing minimal clothing,
{\an8}if y'all were there, in 103 degree heat,
{\an8}and a 1000% humidity,
{\an8}you wouldn't want to be
wearing clothes either.
{\an8}(laughs)
{\an8}Is there any scene
{\an8}that you would want to applaud
{\an8}any of your fellow castmates on?
{\an8}- [Chase] Rudy in the hot tub.
{\an8}It was super rewarding to watch him
{\an8}'cause as you know, Rudy
and I live together so,
{\an8}to watch him prep for that scene,
{\an8}and know when it was coming,
{\an8}and have, you know,
{\an8}the time and the head space to get there
{\an8}and watch him give such
a phenomenal performance
{\an8}that day, snaps for Rud.
{\an8}And then for you in
particular, there's one scene,
{\an8}and I don't think we've
really talked about this.
{\an8}Later in the season when
we are stuck in the house,
{\an8}and you come up the stairs,
and you're an emotional wreck,
{\an8}backstory on that, like Maddie got thrown
{\an8}a bone like very last minute,
{\an8}and Jonas was like,
{\an8}"I need you to be, you know,
an absolute chaotic wreck
{\an8}"you know, after seeing all this."
{\an8}So, I think watching that take place
{\an8}in such a short period of time,
{\an8}and then watching the
performance on screen,
{\an8}I was like, "Yeah, that was believable.
{\an8}"That was really, a really beautiful scene."
{\an8}So, hot debate.
{\an8}The internet is dying to know
{\an8}where Kie's gonna land.
{\an8}Is she gonna be Team Pope?
{\an8}Is she gonna be Team JJ?
{\an8}- When Kiara turned down Pope,
{\an8}my heart shattered because
{\an8}Pope must be protected at all costs.
{\an8}I love him.
{\an8}However, from Kiara's perspective,
{\an8}I understand if you don't
feel it with someone,
{\an8}you don't feel it.
- Right.
{\an8}And in that way, I can
definitely see Kiara and JJ
{\an8}having something.
{\an8}I feel like sometimes, opposites attract,
{\an8}and it would be really
interesting to see Kiara
{\an8}kind of like bring JJ down a little bit,
{\an8}because she does throughout
the first season.
{\an8}She always calls him on his (beep).
{\an8}- Part of me wants to believe
{\an8}that Kie and JJ are the type of people
{\an8}that are going to potentially explore it,
{\an8}and then hopefully come to find out
{\an8}that they're better as friends,
{\an8}because I do think that Pope
has a genuine love for Kie
{\an8}that needs to be explored.
{\an8}I think it's beautiful, and I
think it's obviously something
{\an8}that we all want to know.
I mean, I want to know.
{\an8}Like, are they compatible?
{\an8}- Sometimes you don't know.
{\an8}Like, you know, especially
when you're young,
{\an8}you don't know and you
change a lot as a person,
{\an8}and especially like, things
{\an8}that go on in the first season,
{\an8}like there's so much that happens,
{\an8}and there so much change,
that these people,
{\an8}these teenagers are
never gonna be the same.
{\an8}And so, like, I think it's
so relatable that you know,
{\an8}you would maybe be torn,
and you don't know.
{\an8}And you know, your wants and you know,
{\an8}the things you need change.
{\an8}Hypothetically speaking,
{\an8}how would you prepare for a season two?
{\an8}- First and foremost, cardio.
{\an8}'Cause if there's any
indication of season one,
{\an8}and how much I ran, I should
probably start running.
{\an8}I think the other thing too is,
{\an8}we've created such a great
foundation for this universe,
{\an8}and so, for me, watching
the fans reactions,
{\an8}and watching the feedback
that we've gotten,
{\an8}I want to make sure that I'm on
{\an8}my A game with all the things
{\an8}that I've learned from last season,
{\an8}and to translate that into next
season with my performances,
{\an8}and make sure that these characters
{\an8}continue to come to life.
{\an8}- [Madelyn] I think
we all learned a lot
{\an8}in the first season but,
{\an8}I know that I really really learned a lot,
{\an8}and there're obviously things
{\an8}that of course, if I could
go back, I would change.
{\an8}Season two would be my, you know,
{\an8}chance to feel like I
could redeem those things.
{\an8}And then, I think, get tan.
{\an8}We gotta get real tan.
- Oh yeah.
{\an8}'Cause we were burnt on that boat.
{\an8}- Here we go.
{\an8}Here we go with the tans.
