#obx theories

[lostsyren]

I'm actually excited for the scene where Sofia reveals to Rafe what she did because Fiona and Drew are such good actors I'm curious to see how they approach it and the nuances they bring to both characters! Also because I don't mind some good angst but I hope that doesn't spell the end of their story though I think it'll be a waste but I am worried because of the trust quote by drew about how trust is a big thing for rafe and that it's a sensitive subject for rafe and because Sofia isn't a big character putting her storyline to the side is something they would do😭 idk thoughts?

No because I’m actually so scared. Like yes angst love it, but if this will mean they never get back together again I’ll be so upset.

And yes I agree!! Fiona and Drew are like two of the strongest actors on obx (seeing Fiona’s work in Un Actor Malo was sooooo good) so ik they’ll bring their A game to the fight scenes/ emotionally charged scenes. And yes for sure, nothing the nuances will be so fun– their tones of voice, their physicality, how Rafe will treat her differently when he’s angry, how Sofia acts when she’s angry (since we’ve only seen her be mostly happy)

I think what will happen is that Sofia will try to fix things first without telling him, going to Hollis. And then eventually when that doesn’t work, she will try and work up the courage/ find the right time to tell him. BUT Hollis will try and undermine their relationship, telling Rafe about how Sofia manipulated him/ was bought off. Rafe wont believe her, knowing Sofia to be honest and kind, so he’ll bring it up infront of Sofia being like “can you believe Hollis tired to lie about you like that? She must really wanna get with me huh?” All jokey and unserious and then the guilt just overwhelms sofia and she just confesses, trying to explain. Rafe will be shocked and hurt, etc etc and it will just escalate into a massive argument from there, addressing all the tension Rafe’s “I have standards” comment brought about and just any flaws in their relationship

I hope they can come back from this tho😭I need them in season 5 (if it happens)

okay hear me out what if instead of JJ being related to the Cameron's it's the Thorntons by Topper's dad and Sarah's mom weird ik BUUUT that would feels crazy but at the same time is it?.... it would such a plot twist but idk that's only based off of spoilers and my imagination lol idk

[whosstella]

Why is everyone saying that Kie “will have the best revenge” for JJ?? THAT BITCH WATCHED HIM GET STABBED AND JUST STOOD THERE LIKE: 🧍🏻‍♀️???

WDYM BEST REVENGE???? Rafe didn’t even know him like AT ALL and was more pissed than kie. She was LITERALLY the shittiest gf like ever?? Jb, Sarah and Pope literally lost their brother watch out for them. And ofc our fave loco murder Rafyy😍. But Kie? NAHHHHHH y’all are actually delusional

[maybankiara]

obx brainrot but i really want them to reveal what happened during kiara's kook year. if we really get a whole show without revealing that... and what's the deal with her and rafe? they've been hinting at something for so long, but never elaborating... honestly. just give me info about kiara's kook year. please. please.

[whytheylosttheirminds]

Even if Rafe dies tomorrow like no he didn’t. I will not accept that option. They can take my country but they can’t take my man

[patheticrafeenjoyer]

i know in my soul ward almost freudian slipped and said "he's just a little crazy/unstable"

[angrygirlromero]

I’m convinced that obx writers stole the idea of rafe’s love interest from a fanfic

[willbyersenthusiast]

MASSIVE FUCKING SPOILER AHEAD FOR OBX 4 BUT I NEED TI TALK ABOUT THIS CUS IM PISSED AND NOW HAVE A THEORY

okay back to normal text. so i just got obx 4 fucking spoiled for me and i’m like 95% sure they kill JJ. and i am so fucking mad but this has lead me to an almost 100% certainty that steve is gonna die in season 5 of ST. it makes sense idk why.

[hardlypartying]

i’m so thankful for the s3 riara plotline and the crumbs we will continue to get through s4 because of that. HOWEVER i will forever grieve the possible kook year flashback episode which could have explored rafe and kie’s past.

riara in s1 will forever be my roman empire 😭

tell me about it 😭 ill be going about my day and remember the fumble and wince. who knows maybe we’ll get a throwaway line alluding to something or another about kook year that we’ll explode about and weave into canon so we can hold onto that for the rest of our lives

how do you think rafe will end up in morocco with the pogues? i reckon it might have something to do with rafe working with chandler because he'll probably lose the 400k so in return he has to get the treasure for them or something and in turn is like lowkey going to betray the pogues. also do you think if rafe and sarah end up rekindling their relationship it'll be a catalyst to rafe forgiving sofia because what rafe did to sarah was so much worse than what sofia did to rafe. bc imo it's not like when he finds out it isn't going to linger on him, it'll instigate a psychological battle where his feelings of trusting people get even more tainted and he very much cares about sofia (you can tell from their scene in goat island especially where he hangs onto every expression she makes after saying he sees a future with her) so he will miss her presence in some sort of way but i don't think he'll be able to forgive her on his own, like without someone else helping him see her pov.

I definitely think Hollis and Chandler have something to do with Rafe being in Morocco. Perhaps Hollis and Chandler are actually not as rich as they seem, and that’s the reason they needed Rafe’s money and Rafe basically tails them to get his revenge/get his money back (since we have bts photos of Chandler in Morocco he followed him there) and that’s the reason why Rafe’s with the pogues: both of them need to get back at/go after Chandler.

And then (building off of your idea) Rafe betrays the pogues because Chandler convinces him to help him instead, saying he’ll give Rafe a cut of the money???

I don’t know, we’ll see what happens!!

Oooo I love that idea!! I would love for Rafe and Sarah to make amends and I definitely see him realising he misses Sofia, and trying to fix things with her (after he presumably gets mad at her for betraying him).

I love your theory soooo much!!! Ahhhh yes definitely, he needs someone to push him into forgiving Sofia, or to make him look at things from her perspective!!

And I agree, her betrayal is gonna mess him upppp, I’m scared but at the same time excited to seeeee!!

[multiverses-and-promdates]

dear obx writers, please don't make rafe have a dramatic coming out in season 4. it would be so much better if his relationship with barry was just casually treated as a given fact because it's the most natural thing that these two are together. thanks.

Why jiara is actually the worst ship. In s1 ,yes, they had chemistry and all that but we can clearly see that it changed quickly and it’s really not the same from s2. The whole pope and kie breaking up felt as random as their whole relationship. Then they made jiara which somehow felt even more forced than pope and kie’s break up. No real reason as to why they’re together, no real relationship/romance building apart from very few scenes in s3. And all of the sudden they’re….something. Kie saying I love you dude was the most random line ever in the show. S4 jiara was probably the worst part of the season apart from the end. Kiara was literally the worst gf for JJ and maybe worst overall character in the show. She was never there for JJ when he really needed her (while he literally left everyone behind and a plane for eldorado and broke her out of the wilderness camp thing AND he was there when all the shit happened with her parents), she just let him get drunk off his ass for weeks on end without doing anything to help him. He told her specifically not to tell anyone about his real father and first thing she does is tell jb and Sarah. She didn’t even hug him when he told her. After he almost died ,again,she basically ignored him from that point on until the last episode. She watched him get stabbed and JUST STOOD there and the SHES all revenge and shit?? Bruh come on who are you trying to fool??? Cause you ain’t fooling me. It would have been better if they both had completely new love interests and I really hope they do that in s5,JJ deserves so much better than gf who doesn’t give a single fuck abt him. I could honestly go on and on abt this but I think you get my point.

P.S.: I don’t even want to comment on the Madelyne situation 😭 I’m just so sad abt it 🥲🧍🏻‍♀️

[maybankiara]

anyway i'm planning on making my boyfriend join me for my obx rewatch (it'll be his first time) and if this boy has bad takes (which, i love him, but he usually does) it might be the final straw that gets me fully back into the fandom. just to spite him

[kiarasmaybanks]

i’m so glad they didn’t go with the maybank/cameron sibling theory i’m sorry to those truthers but now i must say i hated that theory lmao

[jjxkiaraxpopexcleoxjohnbxsarah]

I will 4ever believe that JJ and Sarah are siblings like they are perfect in every way and I love them

They both had issues with their dad.

Both lost their mum(notice I don't say mums)

Both have blonde hair

Both are sarcastic

Both are loyal

There are so many scenes where they are looking out for each other and I love it

My favourite is the motorbike scene in s3 when Sarah hugs JJ - total CamBank moment❤️❤️❤️❤️

Also did anyone else notice how only Sarah and JJ were suspicious of John B when they all reunited and JB was lying about why he'd gone to the museum with Big John

The fact that Madeline cline also loves the CamBank theory-aaaaaaaaaaaah

Why JJ will not die in S4

My (part 2) season 4 spoiler-free thoughts

I’ve had lots of thoughts on this recently and with part 2 sneaking up on us tomorrow, I knew I wanted to put my thoughts into a post.

First, I have thought for a while now that when it comes to future seasons, we would get a S5 but that’s it (despite talk not too long ago from the Pates about each story being a 3 season arc). That was probably the intention but with the cast increasingly looking ready to move on, the decision was made to put the effort into getting us a S5 with the network and being able to end the show by telling a complete story.

So how does this connect to JJ and his rumored demise?

Well, first things first. I’ve just never thought the writers would go there. Especially after we saw part one. Yes, JJ went through the wringer and will continue to in S4. But why go through the trouble of basing this whole season on JJ, his newfound family, and how he copes…if they’re just going to kill him at the end of the season? It just doesn’t track IMO.

So here’s what I think could happen if something major goes down with JJ. I have two possibilities I’ve been tossing around:

1. JJ will go off on his own at the end of the season to chase something/someone related to his family and possibly Black Beard related. While I’m not sure this is the most likely outcome, I think it’s possible. To me, this makes more sense as a way to let Rudy go off and do his own thing for awhile without getting rid of his character. And not completely destroying his story and our JJ -loving hearts.

Or

2. JJ will appear to die as a cliffhanger on the S4 finale. This season will be the first time we are left with a true cliffhanger. But JJ is not dead and we will see that in S5.

I also think it’s possible Rudy will NOT appear in some earlier episodes in S5 (I especially think if option one happens, this becomes increasingly possible).

What do we think? No matter what happens I’m excited for tomorrow!

A/N: I had this in my drafts and I logged onto post, I saw Tudum had released a few minutes of the 6th episode. I have not watched it yet and this written before it was released.
