'The 100' Season 4: Will Clarke Ever Love Again? Eliza Taylor Talks Life Post-Lexa [VIDEO]
The 100's Clarke Griffin is ready to delete her post-apocalyptic Tinder profile.
It's been a tough few months for the young Arker, but somewhere in between the blood and the terror, the teen managed to coax the light love out of the darkness (twice, for that matter). In the wake of Lexa's (Alycia Debnam-Carey) death, however, Eliza Taylor believes the 18 year old has lost all desire to love again.
"I don't know [if she will love again]. I don't know if that is a possibility for her given what she's just been through," Taylor told fans at Oz Comic-Con on Saturday. "I hope it is, but, in honor of Lexa, I think it would be hard for fans to see."
"I want her to be happy, [but] it's The 100," the actress added with a wry laugh.
Lexa's death has been a hot button topic for months now, exposing a raw nerve in the fandom. Taylor kept her panel light, however, focusing on everything that made the Clexa 'ship as beloved as it was. After all, Clarke's decision to fall for the Grounder Commander was one of the actress' favorite pieces of her arc.
For Taylor, a couple of extra episodes with the Heda wouldn't have gone amiss.
Nevertheless, Lexa's departure was the catalyst for one of season 3's most pivitol moments - the discovery of the second AI. Considering the cultural barrier between the Arkers and the Grounders when it comes to such technology - one understood it in a religious capacity while the other referred to it strictly in scientific terms - the death of the Commander was the only way to forward the story.
As season 4 begins, Taylor hopes Clarke will keep her relationships from becoming too intimate. Sliding into bed with the young leader is like signing your own death certificate.
