Eli (Lamon Archey) and Lani (Sal Stowers) have come a long way from a one-night stand and losing their baby to a blossoming romance. It was a long road, and Archey and Stowers shared how they feel about their characters’ journey.
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Archey and Stowers said they did not expect anything would come from the one-night stand. And it was a surprise when the baby storyline came out.
“I was completely shocked when the whole baby thing came up. I didn’t see (Lani’s pregnancy) coming,” Stowers said.
“I don’t think either of us thought we would end up in a relationship,” Archey added. Then the storyline moved on to Eli and Lani losing their baby, which brought the two even closer as they tried to support each other. Stowers and Archey also supported each other in real life.
