What do you hope the Outer Banks legacy will be? You know, the show has really encapsulated what it means to be a good friend. And I think it's also encapsulated and reinvigorated the idea of love. Love comes from all different corners of the world and from people that you wouldn't expect it to. And I think, like, not being afraid to chase the things that you love, whether it's treasure, people, friendship, family. You're back? In the flesh.

[laughter] Fans felt this sisterhood between you guys, and I felt the same watching as well. And I kind of feel like the women are the glue of the group.

You guys keep everybody together.

Thank you.

You guys keep the guys in check.

Hey, hey, hey.

Exactly.

I don't know what they'd do without us.

Right.

I don't know what they would do. They would be dead.

The only other voice of reason is Pope.

[laughter]

Yeah. That's true.

Yeah, truly. What did it mean to each of you to play these women

and showcase this strong friendship?

[woman] It meant… Uh… I think it meant a lot, you know, to show such a… a diverse group of characters and such a diverse group of actors on TV. I think we all represent different people, different personalities, different looks. And to have us all come together on a show like this, I think it… it sets a tone, I think, for the future and what we should have more of. And if we go through the characters, where do you think they will be ten years from now? With an 11-year-old?

[laughter] Kiara has an 11-year-old niece, still on the island, for sure. I think Kiara would never leave. She's somewhere deeper into the habitat protection of it all. I feel like Cleo and Pope moved back to the islands and she has a restaurant and he is running a school, like the principal of a school.

[women chuckle] You know, he finally got that degree that he had been working on so hard.

[Madison] He said, "I'll get it myself."

Yeah. We don't squander the money. We find great things to do with it. And maybe one or two Popelettes, you know. Yeah. Oh, that's so cute.

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, my God. I'm like, surely Kiara's not broke again.

We got you.

Surely. And what about Sarah? Maybe she's probably opened up a little bracelet boutique. I like that. I like it.

Where do you think Rafe is in ten years?

He's never coming back. He's somewhere with a beard, and, like, you wouldn't recognize him. And hopefully in therapy.

Yeah, hopefully.

Finally. What is the one thing that when you run into a fan, they quote the most to you guys? Cheese on bread, all the time. I know my quote. Guys, I want to be clear, I know my quote. But I'm thankful people really don't come up to me on the street with it often because, guys, agreed, why did I say that? I don't know.

[Ria] Obviously Jonathan and Chase, big part of the group. What will you miss most from working with those two? All day shenanigans.

Shenanigans.

Yeah. They're part of the reason why we're all coming out stronger on the other end. And we've just really all taken every challenge with, like, a good attitude and just like a, "We got to get through it" spirit. And I feel like both Jonathan and Chase really kept that, like, level-headedness of mediating the day and just like, let's just tough it out, like getting through that toughness. We have to talk about the girls. I feel like they are the glue of this group. They keep the guys in check. What do you think that they each individually bring to the group of Pogues? They're all so unique and special in their own way. You start with Kie, like she feels like another one of just the bros in a way. Like she was always there in the same way, like John B and Pope and JJ, like always, you know, they grew up together.

[Chase] I would say Key's the backbone.

[Jonathan] Yes. We see that a lot in season five. I feel like it's totally her season. I love it. I feel like we see every emotion for her. I think behind any man is a great woman.

Between the three of us

I love that saying. We got three. Think about how great we are. Yeah. The fans kind of build the show. You know, where we were all at in 2020 is a testament to people that will find joy in even the bleakest moments. And I think we all found joy through watching the show reach more and more people, you know, people picking up on stuff that, you know, we dropped in there, picking up on our own inside jokes that made it in, like, we were happy to make a project. That's really what it is at the end of the day with all art and things that people really care about making, is like, you just kind of feel the energy of, like, dang, I had a good time doing this, and I wonder if people know I did. It just felt like in a time in the world where community was not allowed, that we were creating this world that people felt accepted and appreciated in. And, you know, you couldn't get together with your friends and we had a world during a time where everybody felt disconnected from their people. They felt connected to these characters. So we felt like a real obligation. I think still to this day, feel a real obligation to make sure that the community of what we've created, the Pogues, this word that is like just a bait fish that has turned into an entire global community of people, um, lives on and has a place in people's heart. What do you think you each will miss the most? I'm going to miss Charleston for sure.

[Carlacia] Mmhm.

[Madison] Our sunset boat rides. Oh, yeah.

The boat days in general.

[woman] Yeah.

What a day to call work.

[Madelyn] I know. I think I'm going to miss, like, every year coming back…

[woman] Mmhm.

…to like knowing it's there to kind of, like, come back to and the familiarity, you know, is kind of in a way I felt like coming home. I feel like I'm going to miss our camaraderie. I'm going to miss traveling to all these different locations and getting with everyone, being like, "Okay, let's go here to eat. Let's go there." Carlacia is like the queen. Like when it comes to, like, food mapping, wherever we would go… We find good food in Morocco, Croatia, it don't matter. All because of Carlacia. She's got it all planned out, figured out. What do you hope the Outer Banks legacy will be? I'll always remember it fondly as, like, you know, this amazing pocket of time that represents so much for us, um, in terms of, like, the birth of our careers, as far as they go. And, um, the re-introduction of, like, a different kind of teen drama that, like, hadn't hit, I guess, that level of notoriety in so long. Like, you know, I hope, you know, we get to be remembered in that light as one of those shows that only, like, came out during such a pivotal time in so many people's lives. Um, you know, that people grew up with, you know. Like we still have kids coming up to us who are, like, 16, 17 now. When that show came out, you were ten. So it's like--

Shouldn't have been watching.

Shouldn't have been watching. You know, the show has really encapsulated what it means to be a good friend. And I think it's also encapsulated and reinvigorated the idea of love. Love comes from all different corners of the world and from people you wouldn't expect it to. And I think like not being afraid to chase the things that you love, whether it's treasure, people, friendship, family. A lot of the feedback that we've gotten is like, "You've made me feel like it's okay to chase things that I love."

Yeah.

To know that we've had a global impact is the thing that I will forever cherish the most. What do you hope the Outer Banks legacy will be?

Friendship.

Friendship.

Friendship Island here.

[both] Friendship Island. Yeah. Definitely friendship. I think we taught a couple lessons in loyalty,

[woman] Mmhm.

In embracing diversity.

Yep.

Treasureshmeasure. Treasure-shmeasure, friendship forever. Forget the gold.
