Danielle Rose Russell Opens Up About That Ending Scene With Hope & Landon on 'Legacies'

Landon Kirby is back at Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted on Legacies – and the first person he wanted to see was Hope (Danielle Rose Russell), but she didn’t really want to see him, it seems like.

The intense moment on last night’s episode, Danielle shared with TV Line, is one of her favorites between her and Aria Shahghasemi, who plays Landon.

“I love how charged that moment is between them, and that Hope breaks away,” she says. “You see a visual representation of what their relationship is like.”

Danielle adds that the moment fuels the rest of their relationship going forward: “They go through a journey. We’re shooting Episode 10 now, and they’re still going on a journey.”

She also opened up about Hope’s relationship with Josie: “They complement each other in such nice ways, so I think that friendship could be great for both of them. They need each other, and you’ll see that develop a bit more. Of course, Lizzie hates it — she hates every moment of it. It’ll be up and down for a while, but this episode gave you a taste of what could be.”

Legacies airs Thursdays @ 9PM ET/PT on The CW.
