Sparks flying on the set of Outer Banks.
Shortly after the Netflix drama started streaming in April 2020, fans began rooting for Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline,who play John B. and Sarah Cameron, respectively, on 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 added that the chemistry between her and Stokes came naturally.
“Chase, [our creator] Jonas [Pate] and I all sat down from the get-go and spoke about 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. You have to sell it. It’s got to be compelling. Thankfully the cast all clicked and we had such great chemistry, so we all had this friendship from the very beginning. So building on that and then projecting it on the screen felt very, very real.”
Stokes, for his part, told Nylon magazine that he and Cline “wanted to do justice to shows of the past and create a really authentic love experience,” citing Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, The O.C. and 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 strip away the layers of the physicality of it and focus more on the intellectual connection between the two of 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.”
After months of fan speculation, the duo confirmed in June 2020 that they are dating.
Scroll through their cutest moments and quotes about each other:
“We have such great writers, and they're very, very receptive to our ideas. I remember there was a point when one asked me, ‘Do you think you, as Sarah Cameron, would choose your family or John B.?’ I remember thinking on it and telling her, ‘I wholeheartedly believe Sarah is 100 percent absolutely head over heels for John B., and I think she absolutely would get on that boat with him,’” Cline told Glamour about the season 1 finale in April 2020. “There's one part in the show when John B. tells Sarah, ‘You're all I have.’ I told the writer that at that point John B. is also all Sarah has. Her world just crumbled around her, so it's a no-brainer that she would have gotten on that boat with him and risked everything.”

Based on the blooper reel alone, it’s clear the cast of Outer Banks — and Cline and Stokes — had a blast filming the show.
Stokes and Rudy Pankow (JJ) also lived together while filming in Charleston. “On the weekends people would come over, and we would blast music and play games and shoot the s—t,” Stokes told Refinery29. “We just liked being close and we wanted to spend every second of our time together because we were just so thankful for the opportunity at hand. Work didn’t feel like work.”

Cline described the "intimate" experience of working on the Netflix series, telling Grazia Gazette: The Hamptons in May 2021, "We really vibe with our crew and our cast, obviously. We immediately had chemistry, and we immediately started hanging out, which is amazing."
She added that all of her costars — and especially Stokes — "keep each other grounded" and "hype each other up."
Stokes gushed over his "very healthy relationship" with his costar, telling V Man magazine in July 2021 that they keep work and romance separate. "We'll be scene partners and take care of each other when it's an emotional moment. B... Then, as soon as we get back to our trailers and we're taking off our makeup and character clothes, it's like that world disappears. I'm very thankful for her and the journey we're on, it's been awesome," he added.
