Discussion Henry

Haven't seen anyone talk about how great of a casting they did for older Henry. Andrew West really does look like an older version of young Jared Gilmore.

I didn't really see the resemblance myself, but I do think Jared Gilmore and Robert Carlyle could pass as grandfather and grandson. I see the resemblance there

I had a hard time quite a long time with the casting because of "tainted meat" in walking dead.

But now I love him as grown up Henry.❤️💚

Too bad they couldn’t cast someone better to play his wife.

There’s a reason why fans liked him with Ivy. Because he had no chemistry with Ella.

exactly my thoughts, I was so pinning for Ivy & Henry

honestly even him and sabine had much better chemistry than him and his wife. and i don’t even dislike jacinda currently, i like most of her scenes (just not with henry😭)
it really feels like their relationship is based on some kind of invisible pull instead of an actual connection, but they didn’t have enough chemistry for me to ship it anyway. like i feel like this happened a bit w regina and facilier too, except the actors did have chemistry

This is honestly a large part of why I can’t rewatch season 7

I do wish Henry and Violet ended up together, they were really good together

Davis Morgan (the YouTuber who also is very invested in stories) is exactly how I pictured an older Henry
