Ransom Canyon<\/em> took a risk with the show\u2019s sibling love triangle \u2014 and now several forged members are breaking their silence on the shocking shakeup.<\/p>\n

During season 2 of the hit Netflix series, which is streaming now, Lauren (Lizzy Greene<\/strong>) and Kit (Casey W. Johnson<\/strong>) got together while she was still dating his younger brother, Lucas (Garrett Wareing<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Wareing, 24, Johnson, 31, and creator April Blair<\/strong> spoke exclusively to Us<\/em> in regards to the decision to explore such a taboo topic \u2014 and whether or not they were fearful in regards to the fan response to the onscreen shakeup.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeason 2 of the writers\u2019 room began months before season 1 aired. So we definitely care what the fans think and are listening but by the point the season aired, we were well on our way with writing season 2,\u201d Blair recalled. \u201cI saw the primary cut of the tornado episode and I used to be like, \u2018We want to do something with Kit and Lauren. I feel there\u2019s a number of chemistry there.’\u201d<\/p>\n

Blair recalled the writers\u2019 room being \u201cdivided\u201d on the topic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used to be like, \u2018Messy is great. Let\u2019s just try it.\u2019 But I definitely think once the show aired and we saw all of the people shipping them I used to be like, \u2018We\u2019re on the proper track,’\u201d she continued. \u201cBut we definitely take it under consideration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the love triangle consequence, the vision for season 3 and hints a couple of potential endgame:<\/p>\n

Did the Forged See Kit and Lauren\u2019s Romance Coming?<\/h2>\n

Despite filming scenes between Kit and Lauren in season 1, Johnson didn\u2019t realize the show could explore them as a pair.<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember specifically going into the tornado episode and being like, \u2018I don\u2019t want it to feel intimate. That is my younger brother\u2019s girlfriend so I don\u2019t want it to be a thing,’\u201d he told Us. \u201cThen doing the scenes and clearly the way it got here out and the way everyone reacted to it \u2026 it was just two people having a real vulnerability with one another and that grew and that was greater than just that was what connected them. I didn\u2019t expect it but it surely ended up happening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wareing was just excited to go along for the ride.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe writers listen y\u2019all! And if it\u2019s drama that you just want then it\u2019s drama you’ll get! Careful what you want for,\u201d he quipped. \u201cSecretly, I really like [the love triangle]. It\u2019s dangerous and makes for a really engaging watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Why Did Kit and Lauren Kiss Despite Her Relationship With Lucas?<\/h2>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very confusing. They\u2019re each very confused at this point. Kit is at a crossroads in his life and he doesn\u2019t know what he desires to do,\u201d Johnson noted to Us<\/em>. \u201cBut I feel there\u2019s just an undeniable connection between Kit and Lauren. He looks like he has to explore even when it\u2019s not one of the best thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Johnson identified how the duo connect over being \u201coutcasts\u201d on the town.<\/p>\n

\u201cLucas is so perfect. For Lauren, it\u2019s hard to match as much as that. If you happen to mess up, you are feeling like I\u2019m not ok for this person. Kit, in the identical way, looks like Lucas is that this perfect golden figure, which he\u2019s not,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut of their eyes, that\u2019s how they see him they usually wish to protect that they usually find themselves making mistakes. They only are in the identical place. Perhaps that translates to longterm and perhaps it doesn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blair identified that Lauren was struggling in comparison with Lucas, saying, \u201cThey\u2019re just not in the identical place emotionally. They need other loves and other lives and other connections. That\u2019s what we\u2019re doing moving forward \u2014 but all the time with this concept that they\u2019re the Quinn and Staten of their era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Are Kit and Lauren or Lucas and Lauren Endgame?<\/h2>\n

Johnson, Wareing and Blair were all in agreement that when it got here to the larger picture: Lucas and Lauren got their vote.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a viewer, I feel Kit might say in a different way. But you never know what\u2019s going to occur. In my mind, they\u2019re endgame,\u201d Johnson shared. \u201cThose two need to find yourself together at the tip but we\u2019ll see. You never know.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blair, meanwhile, told Us<\/em> Lucas and Lauren \u201care very endgame\u201d for her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know when that endgame is and if it even exists within the lifetime of our series. But they\u2019re the Quinn and Staten except back in highschool,\u201d the screenwriter teased. \u201cWhen Lucas is saying goodbye to her and tells her about Kit and he says, \u2018Someday we\u2019ll be OK.\u2019 I feel they simply must produce other lives and other loves and other experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then there’s Wareing, who argued it needs to be Lucas and Lauren \u2014 or nothing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Lucas and Lauren aren\u2019t endgame I\u2019m never believing in love again,\u201d he joked to Us. \u201cThey resemble, to me, the idealistic form of youthful love and longing. I\u2019d like to see that fantasy for them fully realized.\u201d<\/p>\n

What Are Their Thoughts on the Sibling Love Triangle Trend?<\/h2>\n

From The Summer I Turned Pretty<\/em> to Every Yr After<\/em>, having one person catch feelings for siblings is the new latest story line on a few of our favourite shows. Johnson joked that he hoped he can be \u201cremembered for\u201d his contribution with Ransom Canyon.<\/p>\n

Wareing argued there was no other selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sibling love triangle trope was right there. How could they not swing for it! I just hope people know which brother they needs to be rooting for!\u201d he quipped to Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Will Lucas and Kit Reconcile?<\/h2>\n
\n
\"RANSOM<\/div>

Johnson has little doubt in his mind that the brothers will make up, telling Us, \u201cPerhaps he\u2019ll get to punch me a pair more times before he fully forgives me. But that\u2019s a tricky one to return back from. They\u2019ve been rocking with one another without end though.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wareing offered his own perspective on Lucas\u2019 decision to support Lauren and Kit.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause at the tip of the day, she continues to be the love of his life. And \u2018Whenever you love something\u2026 you’ve gotten to let it go.\u2019 So Lucas does,\u201d he added. \u201cBecause he loves her a lot and just desires to see her glad. Whether that’s with him, or without.\u201d<\/p>\n

Can Lucas Catch a Break in Season 3?<\/h2>\n

In line with Blair, he’ll. Wareing, meanwhile, didn\u2019t mind a challenge by exploring other sides to the fan-favorite character.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur sweet boy Lucas kept getting blow after blow! He can\u2019t catch a break this season,\u201d he noted to Us. \u201cBut when we’re talking about character arcs, there needs to be an ebb and a flow \u2014 an up and a down \u2014 and to play that downward spiral as an actor was quite exciting for me and something that April, our writers, and I actually worked on together. Lucas is, and can proceed to be, the underdog.\u201d<\/p>\n
