So, guess what? Our boy Thomas Doherty, fresh off that Gossip Girl high, is stepping into the drama-fueled world of Tell Me Lies for season two. You know this show that’s basically a rollercoaster of romance, trust issues, and all the feels? Yeah, he’s in it now! He’s gonna be playing this character named Leo, who is set to make things a tad more complicated for Lucy, portrayed by the lovely Grace Van Patten.
Now, here’s the scoop on Leo: he’s a junior at Baird, just back from the wonders of studying abroad (because who doesn’t love a good European adventure, am I right?). He’s charm personified, but here’s the kicker — Lucy’s not entirely sure if she can trust him. Like, can we blame her? I mean, have you ever tried to figure out a dude in a Netflix series? It’s always a wild card.
But let’s get back to Thomas for a sec. The dude has feelings, and not just for acting. He recently admitted to having some major nerves about stepping on screen with Grace — not just because she’s a star, but because she happens to be dating Jackson White, the other dude in the mix. Talk about some real-life soap opera vibes!
In his words, “Obviously Jackson and Grace are dating, so I was like, ‘Oh,’ but no, he was absolutely professional and so was I, and yeah, it was so chill.” So, no drama behind the scenes. Guess the three of them weren’t having any awkward turf wars or anything. But let’s be real, can you imagine the petty high school vibes if someone were to let jealousy leak into that kind of workspace? Thankfully, it sounds like everyone was just there to do their thing — well, and maybe throw in some cheeky on-set banter.
Speaking of good times, Thomas couldn’t stop gushing about the whole experience. As he put it, “Just the whole environment — best craic I’ve ever had in my life.” Did this film set come with a side of Guinness and laughs? If that’s the magic formula, count me in. He even threw in some love for Atlanta, saying working there felt special. Honestly, who knew filming could feel so much like a blast at the local pub?
Now, let’s talk about Grace a little. According to Thomas, he was a bit starstruck when they first met, almost thinking he was going to run into Lucy herself — you know, the character she plays. But then he got a surprise because Grace was “couldn’t be more different” from Lucy. That’s some serious acting chops right there! Who knew switching up personalities could be so fun?
His admiration didn’t stop there, though. “If I had to do the rest of my career working with Grace, I’d be a happy man,” he said. Cue the collective “awwww” from every fan out there. He called her an “incredible human being, incredible actor, so funny, so smart.” Like seriously, is it just me, or is that just downright adorable? It’s like watching your friend gush over a crush at a party.
Alright, I know what you’re thinking. The show is currently dumping the first two episodes of season two into our binge-watching hands on Hulu, so if you haven’t checked it out yet, what are you even doing? And if you like drama paired with college romance that makes you question the concept of trust in relationships, this might just be your next obsession.
New episodes are dropping every Wednesday at midnight ET, which means set those alarms, grab some popcorn, and get ready for the emotional roller coaster this show promises. But seriously, why binge alone? Shoot this article over to your friends, so you can all dive into the drama together! Trust me; it’s way more fun to freak out over fictional love lives with someone else.
Happy watching, folks, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for Leo! He just might steal your heart or, you know, complicate everything like only a character in a show like this can.
