We love any scene with the two of them.
We will definitely see them come together in a way because they both care about Nancy.
Ryan very much wants to prove himself to her, and Carson is trying to rebuild his fractured relationship.

HSU TAYLOR:I’m sure they did not!
And that’s a really bad time to be in the throes of a new relationship.
It’s so exciting; we’re going to be shooting it soon.
We’re just in prep for it now.

It’s always an ensemble show and Nancy Drew is always solving the mystery in these episodes.
We have a way to express things in the world and invite people to share a different perspective.
Nancy Drewseason 2 premieres Wednesday at 9 p.m.
ET on the CW.
