She admits that deep down, her character is warm toward Rafe because, ultimately, he’s her brother. “That’s her family. She does see someone in there who is not all bad or hopes there is someone in there who isn’t all bad,” the actress added. Although her family situation is strained, she also loves her newfound family—JJ (Rudy Pankow), John B. (Stokes), and Kiara (Madison Bailey).
So far on the show, Cline and Stokes’ characters (Sarah and John B, respectively) have the most stable relationship. “Ours has been the longest-running, so I think it makes a lot of sense to see our relationship, at least by Season 4… We’ve been through so much,” the Vice Principals actress said.
When asked about her experience working with Stokes, Cline said it’s been amazing. because we care so deeply about these characters in this relationship…that’s kind of what started it all,” she added.
