Eliza Taylor, Marie Avgeropolous, and Tasya Teles were all present for The 100 pressroom at WonderCon 2019, and here is what OMFGTV learned!

A new side of Clarke | The show’s star, Eliza Taylor, revealed a bit about her journey to discovering a new side of Clarke. “It’s certainly one of the most challenging things that I’ve ever had to do as an actor,” says Taylor. But this season has also “given me a chance to kind of expand my skill set and explore a different side of Clarke that I didn’t really know existed.”

Monty and Harper’s wish that their friends do better | Monty and Harper left several messages for their friends detailing their lives together while they figured out a solution to save their people, and they told their friends that they want them to do better this time around. Eliza sounds skeptical with her response. “I think, of course, it’s something that they could do, but they just, you know our show. They come across so many obstacles, it’s just, it’s constant. And they do end up reverting to fight or flight, which I think is something she’s [Clarke] really trying to avoid this season. She really wants, as an Ode to Monty and Harper, to drill it into her people.”

Octavia really hit a major low last season, so according to Marie, “there’s only one way to go from there and that is up.”

Tasya believes that they’re always trying, and thinks they can do better. “I mean, they all try, they fail. They try, they fail. But she can do better, I think we can all do better.”

Octavia changes again | Blodreina no longer reigns, so what’s going to happen to Octavia this season? Maria tells us that “I think the most emotional you’ll ever see Octavia is this season.” She has evolved every season, and that evolution will continue this season. “This season you’ll see a very different Octavia, I think. Every season’s been a new Octavia, don’t you think? That’s why it’s so much fun to play her, because I don’t get bored.”

Echo needs Bellamy to forgive his sister | Echo has come a long way since her introduction back in season 2, and is now in a relationship with Bellamy. In order for things to continue forward with them this season Echo really needs Bellamy to forgive Octavia. Teles tells us “I think Echo needs to know that he’s capable of forgiveness in a big way. Echo knows that she has done many bad things herself, that he needs to be able to extend his forgiveness to his sister.”

The 100 Season 6 premieres Tuesday, April 30 at 9pm on The CW.
