“I think it was Elizabeth’s turn to finally tell him what I think everybody [has been] waiting to hear [since] three seasons ago when Nathan did it… He opens the conversation by coming and saying, ‘I think moving further into a relationship will only jeopardize you and put you in danger.’ I don’t think he knew where it was going. It was Elizabeth, finally, who put her foot down [and] was like, ‘I have to say this,’” Kevin shared with ET.

Erin added, “I think that Elizbeth had gone through quite the journey of self-discovery and analysis and late-night chats with Rosemary. She did all of that work in season 10 to kind of figure out what she really wanted and what didn’t feel right for her anymore. We spent so much of season 11 doing this dance of, ‘Are those feelings still mutual? Should I put myself out there? I don’t know.’”

Erin continued, “Finally, there was this moment in episode 11 where Elizabeth realized life is short. We have just experienced this hostage situation, it’s time to move, and she could feel that Nathan needed that clarity from her before he was able to take a step forward again. She had to get some things off her chest.”

On what it was like to kiss his real life friend on camera, Kevin shared, “We’re professional actors and great friends, so it’s part of the job. We both knew how important it was, so maybe there was a bit of nerves going into it. It was a new realm that we haven’t really done yet.”

There’s some big news for fans of the Hallmark Channel series, if you didn’t see!
