In the rewatch podcast “Howler Back Now with Holland Roden,” Colton Haynes and Holland Roden discussed their shared “Teen Wolf” experiences, with Haynes crediting their budding friendship for cementing Lydia and Jackson as recurring characters. “We just talk to each other like siblings,” he said about him and Roden. “So, they saw, I guess, our chemistry … The whole group of us fit so well together that they offered us series regular roles halfway through the pilot.”
Roden went on to explain that her first impression of Haynes was “boy band central,” but that she was soon proved incorrect. A longstanding friendship actually sprung from their “Teen Wolf” connection, with the Hallmark star mentioning that they lived together in the two years leading up to the pandemic.
The actors actually got to work together again for “Teen Wolf: The Movie,” the 2023 special in which they reprised their original roles. “It’s weird to work with Holland because we’re so close and we mess each other up,” Haynes mentioned during a convention panel. Roden added that the first scene back was particularly hard, explaining, “We kept laughing and I was like, ‘We cannot do this, dude. We have to, like, focus.'”
