Glamour: Episode 401 is epic for #TyAnnie fans.

How much pressure did you feel in crafting the scene where Ty professes his love for Annie?

We spent a lot of time in the room talking about our first loves, our first kisses.

Now, theyre together, and everythings fine.

What was it like for Carson and Anneliese to finally see their characters come together?

I think they were really excited, because they understand how beyond excited the fans are going to be.

Were also looking forward to all the TyAnnie edits that will feature it in the weeks to come.

Was it storyline-dictated then that Ty would be off the canvas for about five episodes?

Or did Carson have another project going on?

Because theyre separated for a lot of the season.

They both have their paths and their dreams to start with.

What message of hope do you want to give to TyAnnie fans then after episode 10?

But also, if you really, really love somebody, you also dont want to hold them back.

Oh, wouldnt that be fun?

That would be really fun.

Well, I guess we better get Whartons rebuilt fast.
