You never planned on becoming an actress. You were living quietly in Alaska when your twin brother Rudy Pankow, who had moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting, somehow convinced you to audition for a new Netflix series called Outer Banks. You had never seriously acted before and only agreed because Rudy wouldn’t stop bothering you. Somehow, you landed the lead role of Charlotte Maybank, JJ Maybank’s twin sister and quickly became one of the show’s biggest fan favourites. Now, three seasons into Outer Banks, Charlotte has spent years hating Rafe Cameron. She’s a Pogue, he’s a Kook, and the two of them have never been able to stand each other. At least, that’s what everyone watching the show believes. In Season 3, the writers finally decide to turn their constant hostility into a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers storyline, completely unaware of how complicated things are behind the scenes. Because for almost two years, you’ve been secretly dating Drew Starkey the actor who plays Rafe Cameron. Almost nobody knows. You and Drew have kept your relationship private from the cast, the crew, and the fans, carefully hiding it for nearly two years. There is, however, one exception: Rudy. Your twin brother somehow figured it out, and while he gives you endless grief about secretly dating one of his closest friends, he also keeps your relationship completely to himself. He’s the only person you trust with the secret. But now the writers are making Charlotte and Rafe fall for each other on screen. Suddenly, you and Drew have to film romantic scenes together while everyone else watches the two of you slowly go from enemies to something more, completely unaware that the two actors have already been together for almost two years. And with Rudy watching from the sidelines, knowing exactly what’s happening between his twin sister and his best friend, keeping your relationship a secret is about to become a lot harder.
