If the My Existence With the Walter Boys love triangle provides you with, like Us, main The Vampire Diaries vibes, that’s as it used to be intended to.
“There’s always something to be said about love triangles, but it was inspired by Damon and Stefan [Salvatore] from The Vampire Diaries,” writer Ali Novak instructed Leisure Weekly in an interview revealed on Thursday, December 7. “There’s just something so compelling about a love triangle, and there’s so many YA books that have been influenced by that show.”
TVD, which ran for 8 seasons on The CW, had a central love triangle between Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) and vampire brothers Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley).
My Existence With the Walter Boys, in the meantime, has its personal love triangle — with none supernatural entities concerned. My Existence With the Walter Boys dropped on Netflix Thursday, December 7, carefully following Novak’s Wattpad novel of the similar identify.
Within the tale, highschool scholar Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) relocates from her posh existence in New York Town after her circle of relatives tragically dies in a automobile coincidence. Jackie strikes in together with her mother’s best possible good friend from faculty, Katherine (performed through Fits alum Sarah Rafferty) and her huge circle of relatives, together with husband George (Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Marc Blucas) and their 8 youngsters. Two of Katherine and George’s sons — Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry) — secretly harbor emotions for Jackie, who in the end begins crushing again on either one of them.
All through season 1 of My Existence With the Walter Boys, Jackie reveals herself drawn to the 2 brothers in spite of their utterly reverse personalities. (Cole is the All-American, football-playing small-town golden boy, whilst Alex is the shy, bookish kind.)
“We wanted to make sure that both boys have equal weighting,” Novak instructed EW. “And I think there is so much more to this story than just the love triangle.”
In fact, Jackie will come to a decision between the 2 boys through the tip of the primary season, however faithful e book lovers shouldn’t be expecting the literary finishing onscreen.
“We have to make changes to make it work as a TV series,” showrunner Melanie Halsall instructed EW. “The way that relationships unfold, especially Jackie and Alex’s relationship, is slightly different than in the book. And what happens at the end will surprise people because that is different than the book, but I’m hoping that gives the audience, both the audience that loves the book and the new audience, a bit of a surprise.”
My Existence With the Walter Boys is these days streaming on Netflix.
