However, that did not change for Cal, who is still attached to Ben just the way he was before boarding the plane. She still calls him in her difficult times, seeks his help, and tries to stay as close to him as possible. However, Olive had spent some of her most difficult years with Danny and finds it hard to let go of him. (IMDb)Īfter the news of their apparent death, Grace and Olive had moved on with their lives along with Danny but when they came to know that Cal and Ben are alive, they cut their ties with Danny. The children also share separate dynamics with their parents now.

They still live in the same house and are children to the same parents, but Olive now also considers Danny (Daniel Sunjata) as her father. To her, Cal is still a kid suffering from leukemia, but to Cal, Olive is a grown-up whom he no longer recognizes. However, Olive is not aware of any of this. His clairsensitivity leads him to unravel some secrets, such as the 11 missing passengers, and he is also able to predict if an enemy is about to cause any harm. (IMDb)Īfter the incidents on the plane, Cal (like the passengers) developed some mystical powers through which he can feel another person's emotions and foresee the future. Not only have their lives taken separate routes in the five years, but Cal and Olive are also different people now. We also see an awkward moment when it was revealed that Olive is now dating Cal's one-time best friend, Kevin. In episode eight, we see Cal going back to school where all his friends have grown up, and he will probably have to repeat the same class again with students who are conceptually younger than him. As Karkanis rightly mentioned, the aging is pretty evident since Olive is a teenager now, while Cal is still a pre-teen. We think that we should talk about it, and here's why.Ĭal and Olive are in the strangest situation since, despite being twins, Olive is now five years older than Cal. While everyone is already talking about Ben (played by Dallas) and Grace's probable split following the time-gap in their relation, no one is really concerned about what is going on with the Stone kids. I like that dichotomy.' The twins have grown apart, like their parents.

And yet they still have this really strong twin connection. But at that age, there's so much changing, not just physically, but also those are sort of your formative years. You know, like a 21-year-old and 27-year-old don't look that different. She adds: 'In real life, they're 11 and 17. Speaking with Cinema Blend, Karkanis, who plays their mother Grace Stone in the show explained, 'I think it's cool, and they constantly sort of like putting in little reminders to the audience about this crazy thing, because such a huge difference: 10 to 16, or 10 to 15.' The show airs every Monday at 10 pm.Įvery character is dealing with some kind of crisis ever since they got off the plane, but the time lapse is prominent between Cal and Olive who are now five years apart. The Jeff Rake-directed show, starring Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, Melissa Roxburgh, J.R.Ramirez, and Parveen Kaur, has neared its climax and it is about time that we started talking about the Stone twins, Olive (played by Luna Blaise) and Cal (Jack Messina).

The multi-layered mystery of 'Manifest' has been the chief element of the show, be it couple-dynamics, the reason behind the disappearance and reappearance of Montego Air Flight 828, or the relation between the government and civilians.
