In a recent exclusive interview, Carrie sat down with 4 of the show’s stars - Andie MacDowell, Chyler Leigh, Evan Williams, and Sadie Laflamme-Snow, to hear more about some of the most pivotal aspects of the new season, including the tangled love triangle between Cat, Elliot, and Thomas, Elliot’s growth through time travel, and Alice's empowering transformation. Here’s a closer look at what’s in store for The Way Home fans.
The Love Triangle: Cat, Elliot, and Thomas
A central theme in Season 3 is the emotional tension surrounding Cat’s love triangle. As the characters’ relationships continue to evolve, viewers are left wondering: what will Cat do as she is torn between two very different men—Elliot, whom she shares a deep history with, and Thomas, who sparks something new in her? Elliot and Thomas each challenge her in different ways, sparking introspection and growth. This dynamic promises to bring even more emotional depth to the show, keeping fans hooked as they follow Cat’s journey of self-discovery.
Elliot’s Time-Traveling Transformation
Elliot’s evolution is another major storyline this season. After experiencing time travel for the first time in Season 2, Elliot embarks on a personal journey of healing and growth in Season 3. Evan describes Elliot’s development as a metamorphosis, with Elliot grappling with his past pain and finding his true potential. Time travel isn’t just a tool for action—it serves as a powerful mechanism for character development.
The most intriguing part of Elliot’s arc this season is his exploration of love. The show poses some big questions about what love means, especially when time travel plays such a pivotal role. Is Elliot’s perception of love different now that he’s seen it through the lens of time travel? Fans can expect a deeper exploration of love, loss, and identity as Elliot works through his complex feelings for Cat and confronts his relationship with his past.
Alice’s Character Growth and Confidence
One of the most exciting developments in Season 3 is Alice’s growth. While she started the series uncertain about her role in the world of time travel, Alice has evolved into a confident guide for Elliot, helping him navigate the complexities of his journey. In Season 3, Alice steps into a more assertive role, fully embracing her time-traveling abilities and the wisdom they bring.
Sadie teases that Alice will be bolder and more in control than ever before. No longer sneaking around or lurking in the background, Alice comes into her own, confronting challenges head-on. Her confidence and growth will be key to the storyline as she supports Elliot through his own transformation.
We Meet a Young Del
The surprises don’t stop there. Season 3 also gives us the chance to see a young Del! This gives her story immense depth and shines a light on why she is the person she is in the present tense. Andie tell us she was protective of Del’s story as a young woman, and ultimately loves how her story is told.
