Hulu’s Tell Me Lies introduced viewers to a toxic relationship between Lucy Albright (Grace Van Patten) and Stephen DeMarco — with Jackson James White bringing the complicated male lead to life.The TV show, which is based on the 2018 novel of the same name by Carola Lovering, explores the ups and downs between the college students over an eight-year time period.Before Tell Me Lies premiered on Hulu, showrunner Meaghan Oppenheimer opened up about the writing process that went into making Stephen more likable.“We had to humanize him a bit more for the show only because this is hopefully an ongoing series.
If someone is just completely, there’s no hope for them, then there’s not much space to play with that,” she told Hollywood Life in September 2022. “I think Stephen is going to be very polarizing, just from what I’ve experienced so far.”For Jackson James White, the most important part was not making a judgment call about the character on screen. “Some people hate him and have no forgiveness for him.
