Guys, I really need your help!!
I’m trying to decide on a male actor for certain plot point in one of my stories, I’m currently stuck between Jacob Elordi and Jesse Lee Soffer (Jay from Chicago PD)
For a little context..and kind of a spoiler I guess…He would be the "second boyfriend" after my main couple takes some time apart so my OC can focus on their mental health.
I was already going to write them becoming friends with Jacob to begin with, so it feels more natural that it would blossom into a romantic relationship. But it also feels a little cliché that a female OC ends up dating a guy who was her friend, though I am gonna maintain the "we’re strictly just friends" rule with some other people I’m including through the story.
Jesse has a few advantages in terms of possible conflict, he’s older than my OC, and I was planning on writing his ex-wife and kids into the story. Those could be major plot points…But Jacob really sparked a The Way I Loved You kinda vibe in me..
I don’t know what to do!! I had most of the Jesse plot written in my drafts but now this 7 foot creature has made its way into my life and I feel the need to write him into my story.
What do you say?? Please help!!!
