One of the cornerstones of "Outer Banks" is the core friendships. Before Chase Stokes and his co-stars transformed into the stars that they are today, they spent a good chunk of time bonding and solidifying their off-screen relationships. In an interview with People, Stokes shared that he and castmates Jonathan Daviss, Madison Bailey, Madelyn Cline, and others got a place together and that every weekend, the whole gang would come over. "We'd play video games, board games, we'd sing, dance, it was a riot," Stokes recalled of the experience.
Calling it the "adult version" of a YMCA summer camp with "slumber parties" and junk food, Stokes was intent on highlighting the shared time that really made the cast bond. "There's this true honesty to the friendship you see onscreen that is equally present offscreen as well," Stokes said.
And we certainly see what he means. The friendships on "Outer Banks" truly set the show apart from other mystery dramas — after all, everyone needs friends that will find buried treasure with you, go to creepy graveyards at night, and bust you out of prison in an ambulance (that plot of JJ's sort of worked).
