Speaking to Metro.co.uk, he said: "I know #TeamBen has been heartbroken over the finale moment, however, I truly think it creates some incredible conflict

"Paxton will be a boyfriend for the first time, Devi will navigate a romantic relationship, and we have no idea what Ben will do. It’s juicy, interesting, complex, and messy, which I love."
