‘Outer Banks’ Fans Think Rudy Pankow and Madison Bailey Aren’t Friends and Had to Use Stunt Doubles

Rudy Pankow and Madison Bailey’s characters are a couple on Outer Banks, but fans think they're not close in real life and used stunt doubles for some scenes.

Rudy Pankow and Madison Bailey’s characters – JJ and Kiara – are a couple on Outer Banks, but fans are convinced that they’re not actually close in real life. Fans have theorized that the pair’s respective significant others – Madison’s girlfriend is Mariah Linney and Rudy, 26, is dating former OBX director’s assistant Elaine Siemek – weren’t happy about how passionate viewers were about wanting JJ and Kiara to get together. Fans now think that JJ was only killed off of Outer Banks because Rudy and Madison didn’t want to work together anymore, but the show’s creators have said that it was always the plan to have the beloved character die.
