Who does Jackie end up with in My Life With The Walter Boys?
Spoilers ahead! Before Jackie takes off to New York City with her Uncle Richard, she kisses Cole for the first time. Alex and Jackie seemed to be going steady before the series finale, but when he confessed his love to her, Jackie was quite reserved. Cole fixed her sister’s mug which followed up to the kiss. However, everything is still up in the air if she resolves her issues with Cole to be starting a new relationship with him.
In an interview with The Wrap, Hallsall revealed why the TV show was altered from the book. “We wanted the series to be slightly different than that. We also wanted to make sure that both boys were absolutely viable candidates for romance and for Jackie, so we wanted both of them to be just as sexy, just as cool. They’re very different. They both have absolute qualities that would make perfect, brilliant boyfriends.”
She continued, “Also, they’re both going through something you know — I think it was important that they’re not just ciphers, either boy, just for, you know, for us to project for Jackie, and the audience projects our desires. They are real characters who are going through things, and that’s partly the reason that they are attracted to Jackie and she’s attracted to them. So in terms of which one she kisses first, I think it is very similar to the book and it does kind of follow the lineage of the book, but how those relationships unfold and what happens within them is slightly different.”
