Go ahead and throw away all preconceived notions about the definition of “squad goals,” because the “Outer Banks” cast have given a whole new meaning to the term. The actors who portray the gold-hunting Pogues on the binge-worthy Netflix series – Chase Stokes (John B), Madison Bailey (Kiara), Jonathan Daviss (Pope), Rudy Pankow (JJ), Madelyn Cline (Sarah), and Carlacia Grant (Cleo) – share a pretty rad real-life bond with their Kook counterparts – including Austin North (Topper) and Drew Starkey (Rafe). Take a scroll through their Instagram accounts, and you’ll come across countless goofy selfies, behind-the-scenes videos documenting their so-called “tomfoolery,” and on- and off-set shenanigans guaranteed to leave you feeling a tinge of friendship envy.
Despite the fact that fan-favorite couple Cline and Stokes broke up in 2021 after a year of dating, they maintained a solid friendship while filming season three together. “Mads and I have been working together now for 30 episodes, and we made a promise to each other before we even started dating that the work was always going to come first,” Stokes said in a recent interview. “And that no matter what happens in our personal lives, and the ways that life sometimes takes you in different directions, that we’re always going to honor the work. That stayed 100 percent truthful this season.”
