The CW’s Life Sentence premieres tonight with Lucy Hale and Elliot Knight, who are dishing about their on-screen whirlwind romance and marriage.
“When we meet in Paris, for Wes, he meets this amazing new life force of someone who has this whole perspective on living, existing, that he’s never encountered before,” Elliot explains to Collider in a new interview.
Meeting Stella, for Wes, he says, is breath of fresh air.
“She blows him away because she is just this amazing, magnetic, spontaneous creature who lights a fire inside of him. I think he, for the first time in his life, stops thinking and just goes straight for that feeling. That is very much the theme of their marriage and them as a couple together: it’s this burning fire that they’re both just dancing in and living in.”
Lucy adds that their relationship gets a wake up call when she’s cured though.
“They realize how much they had never discovered, things they had never discovered about each other. So there are definitely some speed bumps,” she says. “[But] At the core of everything, they love each other so much, and there’s that childlike love that’s always there.”
“Their chemistry and connection is just undeniable, so that’s what keeps them together. But there’s definitely a lot of learning and growing to do.”
Life Sentence premieres TONIGHT @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.
