This highly anticipated onscreen reunion hints at an eventual reconciliation between Colter and Billie. Pernas said she and Hartley collaborated on building the emotional—and heated—dynamic between their characters.
“We didn’t really have a script for kissing,” she explained to ET. “We did some testing of moments where it felt like, are they kissing in this moment? It’s just because there’s so much history, and there’s so much tension, and there’s some sort of life-threatening event that happened right before, so there’s all this built-up pressure.”
However, Tracker isn’t the first time Hartley and Pernas have worked together. The couple originally met on the set of The Young and The Restless in 2015. It wasn’t until they reunited years later that they started dating, and they got married in 2021. Since then, the pair have shared the screen on Quantum Leap and now Tracker.
“It’s great. It’s good for the environment, too. You can carpool and everything, so it’s great,” Hartley told E! News in February 2023 about plans to star with Pernas in future projects. “We’ll definitely do it. Absolutely.”
