Eliza Taylor Opens Up About Clarke's Motherly Role on 'The 100'

The 100 premiere is just hours away and we’re getting even more excited after hearing Eliza Taylor talk more about how Clarke has changed over the six year time jump.

Speaking with Extra, the 28-year-old actress says Clarke is a “good mom. She’s stern with her [Madi] though, because Madi is cheeky, so she does really have to keep her in line and she’s a very fierce little thing.”

As for Madi, played by Lola Flannery, Eliza calls her a “little sidekick who she loves with all her heart.”

Showrunner Jason Rothenberg told TVLine recently that the premiere will center on “Clarke’s emotional journey over [the six-year time jump] really nicely.”

He adds, “We quickly understand why she’s so deeply bonded to [Madi]. I think Eliza is as good as it gets, and I’m excited for people to see her tour de force performance.”

“She’s obviously not a biological mother, but she has such an emotional connection to this child,” he continued about the duo’s relationship on the ground. “She now has a clan of one. In that way, everything has changed for her.”

The 100 premieres TONIGHT, April 24th @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.
