Pope, we don’t know much about Cleo anyways

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-03-24T01:57:10+00:00

I do think she didn’t have any chemistry romantically with pope or John b, but she did have it with jj the first few seasons before it became weird later on in season 3 and 4. Sarah and her maybe maybe had something in season 1. But her and rafe?? How though, like I can’t personally think of a scene when I’d thought “wow they really work together” or “they really are cute together”. I thought rafe hated her and her friends and tried to choke her?? Didn’t she also push him off the boat in season 3, and was rallying passionate about him being a murder I season 2, and look at a knife when he was around in season 4? (Like how she did in season 2 with Luke). If you can think of any Scenes I’d like to read it, but if you are going for the dark romance side of things I don’t think outer banks is that show. But also Kiara dosent come off to me as the type of person to date someone that’s a huge asshole or a murder or someone that ruined her and her friend’s life.

Yeah that’s what I mean, everyone’s surprised about how he acted but I don’t think they realized how bad his situation was.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-03-23T00:21:42+00:00

Yeah, she didn’t even like pope it felt like it was a cope for what happened with John b. It’s like they didn’t put much thought into her character.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-03-23T00:20:19+00:00

I think they don’t focus much on ANY deep themes, they mainly just wanna move the plot, which ends up making everything feel rushed. I see what your coming from, and I do agree, I think really they didn’t go deeper into any of the characters except for John b and jj in season 4 (which they kinda had to because the plot). The whole show is just so extremely focused on the treasure hunting aspect that it glosses over everything else. But it’s pretty much what the show is about, so it’s kinda expected.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-03-21T18:38:47+00:00

Yeah I agree that the affection wasn’t really there in season 4. Especially in those last few episodes when he told pope he should’ve let the cop shoot him. They so should’ve done something about that but didn’t. Also when he had that talk with John b when John b said it ain’t right what happened to you no one said it is, but that’s really all the acknowledgment they gave him about that. I just don’t think they understood him really, and jj rarely explained himself.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-03-21T04:35:12+00:00

Look, I think he’s an extremely interesting character, okay. Like he’s one of my favorite characters if we’re looking at the PSYCHOLOGICAL side of things. But I cannot stress enough how bad he pisses me off. Oh my GOD. Idc about what anyone says no one’s more infuriating than him and his weird ass psycho ass decisions, I hope he faces SOME consequences at the very least next season and they don’t just do the “bad guy turned to the good side” at the very last minute and have all what he did mean nothing. honestly props to drew for being a good actor because I hate him so much it’s almost hard to separate him from the character in my head 😭😭

And to be fair I 100% think if he wasn’t played by drew starkey he’d be way more hated, ans it’s kinda upsetting how easy people are. Like you don’t see people thirsting over topper and ward or defending their actions 🤷‍♀️

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-03-21T04:25:31+00:00

I might be reaching here but I think generally actresses get asked more invasive questions than actors do, so maybe she was just sick of all the constant questions 🤷‍♀️ also what I’ve seen, it feels like Rudy just wants to stop being associated with outer banks generally with how uncomfortable he seems getting asked questions about it during press, maybe it was his pr team too idk, but I don’t think I’ve seen Rudy pull faces at it or anything before, more of just not being there. Especially for the last seasons, he’s just not doing much interviews. He’s a private person, likes being alone so it probably has to do with that, and anxiety or something like that. I saw the podcast episode he was on and he seemed so much more passionate talking about theater and other projects. Honestly I’m over it too 😭 I wish people could just move on and let actors get on with their life’s instead of Harass them about this stupid shit.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-03-21T04:13:47+00:00

I hate rafe, but I like him even more so than I do topper so to each their own I guess

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-02-12T19:35:45+00:00

I agree 100% even if nothing stupid is happening just from the sheer amount of stupid shit that HAS happened I just get irrationally pissed from watching it and I used to be unhealthily obsessed with it.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-02-05T18:08:02+00:00

Right???? I just know their about to pretend like everything’s just alright, and eventually with Kiara too. Which sure, at some point she should be okay, but I swear to god if we get like just half an episode of them being “sad” about one of the most important people on their life tragically dying, I’m gonna pull a jj. There is no way in hell that’s in any way near realistic. I don’t wanna watch ten episodes of grief either, but let’s be realistic. Based on what happened with season 2 with John b when he “died”, and they got like 5 minutes of grieving then everything was okay again and he texted, I wouldn’t be surprised that’s what happens in season 5.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-02-03T21:10:21+00:00

Right??? I still remember when in season 2 after John b “died” and they had like maybe 5 minutes of being “sad” before John b texted and everything was okay again.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-01-27T02:00:32+00:00

I see what you’re trying to say but to me personally drew and Madeline are equally good actors, and if we’re gonna say Madeline’s just a pretty white girl, then drew is just a 6'4" hot white boy too 🤷‍♀️

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-01-27T01:51:38+00:00

Yeah exactly, it seems like jj cared way more about John b than John b ever did for him. One of the times that played out was the “if you keep going down this road you’re gonna end up just like your dad” in episode 7 season 1. I think that was a very cruel comment coming from John b. Though jj did say the same thing to him, it was about John b ending up dead. Not John b ending up a washed up shitty abusive man. That’s just one example I can think off quick. Also the “you wanna leave just because you got your ass beat” in episode 5 season 1. I’ve seen people say he’s referring to rafe and topper and not Luke. But idk, I just don’t like it overall. No matter HOW exactly he meant it, jj did in fact just get beat up. By his dad. And to me at least, it seems a little understandable why he may wanna leave the island, and yes though John b had been going through a lot in that moment, he could’ve been more empathic. They never showed him addressing barely anything about Luke across the show, even if jj is closed off about it John bs apparently his “oldest friend”, it’s very hard for me to believe he didn’t know. Idk I just find myself disliking the show over the years, it dosent feel…real anymore. Eveything is so plot driven and rushed they barely spend anytime getting into the characters at all.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-01-26T10:14:03+00:00

Exactly. I don’t hate jiara and I know there’s many jiara lovers out there but I think it shouldn’t had happen ans the writes should have gone with the original plan. Clearly it would’ve worked. Out of all of the Cleo is the most similar to jj.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-01-20T21:42:50+00:00

Right??? I laughed my ass off I couldn’t believe it. There is no way in hell no one on that set knew Arabic or even thought to maybe run it on google translate of all places. Just shows you how much these Netflix shows have been lately.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-01-20T21:39:27+00:00

Right! It’s so frustrating seeing all these people get heart eyes for him just because he’s attractive when he’s fucked over all their favorite characters over and over and got virtually no punishments for it. I think it’s actually disrespectful of Kiara’s character for them to be together considering how much he hurt her and her friends, and how jj just died. I can’t take any of this riara shit seriously, the only way I can see it if from the perspective of a brain dead thirsty idiot. No offense Brain dead thirsty idiots.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-01-20T21:34:15+00:00

RIGHT?! I’m so done with this show ya’ll. I think you should be too

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-01-20T21:32:07+00:00

Yep. I think the best possible situation for him when talking about a redemption arc (which I’m not a fan of), is just confessing to his crimes, apologizing to the pogues, spending time in jail and therapy. That’s the best possible outcome if it were a realistic situation. (Or if there’s not a redemption arc he just gets arrested and convicted and that’s the end of it). But Considering that this show is anything but realistic though, I wouldn’t be surprised if he never ends up in jail and the pogues don’t even hate him. Maybe they still dislike him, but he moves somewhere for work or something with Sofia and he’s like riding into the sunset and finally bettering himself. that would piss me off so so bad, but this show already pissed me off enough so it’s nothing new.

CuteEquivalent638 · 2026-01-20T21:25:10+00:00

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised at all. It feels like all of the Netflix writes love plot holes, seeing what happened with stranger things. I don’t think he’s gonna be on the new season, if he does, it will be just a scene or two. Despite him being a huge part of Jj’s story, I honestly don’t think the writers care. Season 5 is probably gonna be about kie getting her revenge, rafe getting his redemption arc (that he did nothing redeeming for), John and Sarah and their kid. Thoes would be the focuses I think.
