I love the Alice and Nick storyline. It’s such an anchor for me to play Alice. It was one of the first times we really saw her open up. “
Laflamme-Snow, 25, recalled how It took a while for Alice to show others. “She was really going through a rough time in the beginning. So the first time we see her singing at Nick’s request on the beach in front of all these strangers, you’re really seeing her for the first time as a young girl and she’s just vulnerable,” she shared. “It’s so beautiful.”
Although she senses the chemistry between Alice and Teenage Nick, Laflamme-Snow was still caught off guard from prevailing fan maintenance.
“I didn’t know people would be so attached. But it was almost like, as time went on, people got more attached to their relationship and the more they became star-crossed,” she noted. “We saw them at homecoming (in Season 1) and they were at the masquerade, seeing each other through the glass. It’s like the more they split up, the more people wanted to get back together. “
The way homewhich premium in 2023 introduced Three generations of women in Landry A family who stumble upon a pond on their land that allows them to travel through time. Alice was the first to make the discovery, which led to her traveling back in time to when her mother Kat (Chyler Leigh), was her age. This paved the way for Alice to find love with teenage Kat (Alex Hook) and teenage Elliott (David Webster) Childhood friend, Nick.
“For Nick to finally find out that Alice had time traveled in Season 2, obviously that was the most devastating thing ever for him to be able to function normally in the present day,” Laflamme-Sohn told USA about how Season 2 introduced an adult Nick, played by Kerry James. “I, of course, love that story and would go back there anytime.”
Laflamme-Snow isn’t sure how The way home can make nick part of Alice’s future.
“Alice needs to be in a place to focus on her future, and we see that with Noah (Alexander Elling),” she added of her character’s latest love interest. “When she has a hard time with someone in her family — it’s all informed by time travel — which is the most unusual set of circumstances. (With Noah) She could just be a teenager. This is something she really needs. “
The actress does not rule out a return from Nick – Even if it’s in adult form. “We’re going to see how Alice and Nick in the present day can work alone,” she teased. “Kerry James – Who plays Nick – is so much fun to work with. It’s funny to see them just pretending they don’t know each other, but also being forced in a small town to bump into each other all the time. It handled beautifully. “
Laflamme-Snow’s costars Chyler Leigh and Evan Williams emphasized how The way home managed the age gap romance”without making it any weirder“For the audience.
“One of the things that feels most holistic about the show is that thematically we’re always exploring this question of, ‘Is it better to try to change the past or to change our relationship to the past?’ “It allows us to exist in the present in the future,” explained 39 Williams USA. “We see the audience and all the characters — in their own ways — struggle with that.”
He continued, “Obviously there are things that the heart wants, but we’re also watching the characters navigate that. One of the most realistic things about the show is that we see the characters not always getting what they think they want. “
While discussing The success of the show three seasons inThe trio expressed gratitude for the passionate support from fans.
“There’s a really interesting combination where our show airs on Friday nights, so it’s like date night viewing. Not all of them are streaming all at the same time, so people can’t really eat it. They have to wait a week,” Williams said. “So they’re going to do all their theorizing about everything. But past episodes and past seasons are available via streaming. So it’s a combination of both meeting viewing and streaming. We make the most of both worlds. “
