Outer Banks’ Carlacia Grant shares how Cleo will be affected by Terrance’s death in Season 4, Part 2

Outer Banks’ Carlacia Grant shares how Cleo will be affected by Terrance’s death in Season 4, Part 2

We left the characters behind Outdoor benches in rough places at the end of season 4, part 1. JJ discovered his father is not his biological father. John B. is confronted with the trauma of the loss of his father. Pope and Sarah are trapped underground, and Cleo mourns the loss of her friend and parental figure Terrance. So when I had the chance to talk to Carlacia Grant, who plays Cleo, about the ending of Part 1, she talked about how that tragic death will affect her character’s future.

When I interviewed the cast of Outdoor benches About season 4, I had to ask Grant how she prepared for the scene where Terrance died and what impact it will have on Cleo. In response, she sweetly told me that she loves Terence Rosemore, who plays Terrance on the show, and she knows her character was happy to see the Captain come back into her life. So that made the loss even harder, as she told me:

It was just about the history and Cleo’s history, and I kind of played as a character that Cleo was thinking about Terrance, and Cleo was wondering (what) happened to him and Stubbs, and she wanted to reach out, but couldn’t not figuring out how to find him. And then the moment happens, and there is no time. There’s no time to talk about how sorry she is, or how much she misses him.

Grant continued to say that the moment clearly didn’t “happen the way (Cloe) wants it to happen,” and that she couldn’t say goodbye to this man who played such a crucial role in her life. So she is deeply hurt on many levels by this loss.

Now we move on to Season 4, Part 2, which premieres Netflix’s 2024 schedule on November 7 – Cleo feels like she’s ready for revenge, and she’ll do anything to get back at the man who killed Terrance. To that point, while talking about what lies ahead for her character, Grant told me:

She wants revenge. That’s all she thinks about. As if she wants revenge. And she feels like if you go here, it will even out. She wants him to feel exactly the way she felt at that moment, like a gut wrench, or like she’s ripping her insides out of her body. And I don’t think she’ll stop until she gets it.
