If the My Life With the Walter Boys love triangle gives you, like Us, major The Vampire Diaries vibes, that’s as it was intended to.
“There’s at all times something to be stated about love triangles, nevertheless it was inspired by Damon and Stefan [Salvatore] from The Vampire Diaries,” writer Ali Novak told Entertainment Weekly in an interview printed on Thursday, December 7. “There’s simply something so compelling a couple of love triangle, and there’s so many YA books which were influenced by that display.”
TVD, which ran for eight seasons on The CW, had a central love triangle between Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) and vampire brothers Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley).
My Life With the Walter Boys, meanwhile, has its own love triangle — with none supernatural entities concerned. My Life With the Walter Boys dropped on Netflix Thursday, December 7, carefully following Novak’s Wattpad novel of the similar title.
In the story, high school pupil Jackie Howard (Nikki Rodriguez) relocates from her posh life in New York City after her family tragically dies in a automobile coincidence. Jackie strikes in with her mom’s very best buddy from college, Katherine (played by Suits alum Sarah Rafferty) and her large circle of relatives, together with husband George (Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Marc Blucas) and their eight kids. Two of Katherine and George’s sons — Cole (Noah LaLonde) and Alex (Ashby Gentry) — secretly harbor feelings for Jackie, who sooner or later starts crushing again on both of them.
Throughout season 1 of My Life With the Walter Boys, Jackie reveals herself attracted to the two brothers regardless of their totally reverse personalities. (Cole is the All-American, football-playing small-town golden boy, whilst Alex is the shy, bookish kind.)
“We wanted to make sure that each boys have equivalent weighting,” Novak advised EW. “And I think there is so a lot more to this story than simply the love triangle.”
Of course, Jackie will decide between the two boys by the end of the first season, however faithful e-book fans shouldn’t expect the literary ending onscreen.

“We must make adjustments to make it paintings as a TV series,” showrunner Melanie Halsall told EW. “The method that relationships unfold, especially Jackie and Alex’s relationship, is rather other than in the book. And what happens at the finish will surprise other people as a result of this is different than the ebook, but I’m hoping that provides the target audience, each the target audience that loves the book and the new target audience, somewhat of a wonder.”
My Life With the Walter Boys is currently streaming on Netflix.
