Twinkie Van Explodes: Outer Banks Star's Thrilling Farewell
26 Aug
Summary
- Actor Chase Stokes found the van's fiery destruction incredibly satisfying.
- The iconic Twinkie van was dramatically blown up by Cleo in episode eight.
- The final filmed scene for Outer Banks featured the Twinkie's explosion.
The final season of Outer Banks delivered a fiery farewell to the beloved, yet troublesome, Twinkie van. Actor Chase Stokes, who plays John B., expressed immense satisfaction watching the iconic vehicle explode, a stark contrast to his character's distress. The dramatic destruction occurred in episode eight when Cleo blew up the van to facilitate an escape via plane.
Stokes cited the constant mechanical issues with the four vans used throughout the series as the reason for his gleeful reaction to the Twinkie's demise. He found the on-screen explosion "so satisfying." This pivotal scene was also historically significant, marking the very last sequence filmed for the entire Outer Banks series.
Despite the original Twinkie's fiery end, a new, upgraded van appears at Sarah and John B.'s wedding in the series finale. This replacement boasted a new engine and reliability, though ironically, Stokes never had the opportunity to drive this new version, capping off his five-season journey with the van.
