Rory is from the same wealthy New York circles Annie grew up in, while Ellis is a local whose life on the island is completely removed from everything she knows back home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Annie develops genuine feelings for both, leaving viewers fiercely divided over which relationship is actually better for her. Although she isn\u2019t in a relationship with either by the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/sterling-point\/\">Sterling Point<\/a>, it\u2019s clear she\u2019s leaning more towards Ellis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, this has sparked a debate &#8211; even <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/08\/17\/creator-explains-why-sterling-point-is-so-queer-as-ramona-and-oonas-romance-gets-messy-af\/\">Oona star Bo Bragason<\/a> thinks Annie should\u2019ve ended up with Rory.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Annie gets different things from Rory and Ellis<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Park, there are reasons why <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/08\/12\/sterling-points-ella-rubin-explains-whether-annie-really-loves-ellis-more-than-rory-by-end\/\">Annie is drawn to each of them<\/a>, but one thing she said about Ellis in particular explains why he\u2019s in first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cRory is somebody that, if Annie had never met Ellis, would be a great guy for her. He\u2019s really in touch with his emotions and his insecurities. He\u2019s also a very parentified child, like Annie is,\u201d the Sterling Point creator told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv-movies\/tv-movie-features\/sterling-point-creator-megan-park-interview-gen-z-1235609242\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rolling Stone<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7982\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7982\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7982\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3-12.jpg\" alt=\"Annie and Rory in Sterling Point\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3-12.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3-12-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/3-12-768x403.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7982\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Credit: Prime Video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey really relate on many levels, especially being hard on themselves, and also being very responsible for their parents\u2019 emotions. He\u2019s able to talk about it and pull it out of Annie in a way that she never really has before. He makes her feel really safe and seen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf she was going to go back to New York, he would be a nice [addition] to the life there. He could understand her world but also connect with her on a very deep level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Park went on to explain, \u201cEllis is uncomfortable for her, because he quiets her mind and heart in a way that\u2019s really new and scary for her, but very needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe really tried to make an effort with their scenes to have lots of moments of long silence. There\u2019s no music in their hookup scene. It\u2019s very quiet. Versus Rory, there\u2019s music playing and it\u2019s this crazy club scene.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In short, Rory is familiar, but Ellis makes Annie \u201cnervous\u201d, said Park. \u201cHe\u2019s such a classic Canadian boy. There\u2019s a line where she\u2019s like, \u2018I can\u2019t tell if you like me or f**king hate me.\u2019 That\u2019s such a Canadian boy thing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey\u2019re just so quiet sometimes that you\u2019re just like, \u2018What are you thinking? It\u2019s driving me crazy!\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s also *that* kiss Annie and Ellis share in episode seven, where he pulls her across the floor of the cupboard. As Rolling Stone pointed out, viewers are \u201cobsessed\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Annie &amp; Ellis\u2019 Steamy Kiss | Sterling Point | Clip | Prime Video\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mj1X6ZlwPJM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reflecting on this moment, Park said, \u201cThe floor pull was a collaborative thing that we all kind of figured out together. It was Ella\u2019s idea to put that scene in the closet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe day of, we weren\u2019t really sure how it\u2019s actually going to look and how it\u2019s going to play out. They were trying a few different things. We got down on the floor trying to figure it out. At one point, [someone] pulled me across the floor, and everyone was kind of like, \u2018Whoa, that was hot!\u2019 It went from there.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe canoe kiss with Ellis and Annie in the rain was totally not in the script. But it just started pouring rain. We were like, \u2018What if we just tie the canoe up?\u2019 We just had to go with it. So that ended up being such an iconic moment on the fly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen you have that collaborative atmosphere on set, and everybody can say an idea and bring something to the table, that\u2019s when those magic moments happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest film and TV updates and hot takes,\u00a0<\/i><i><a

If it\u2019s dark, disturbing or dominating Netflix, Daisy is probably already writing about it.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DaisyWebb77"],"jobTitle":"Editor at Film Shrine","url":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/author\/daisythetab-com\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/filmshrine.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/08\/19\/sterling-point-creator-finally-settles-ellis-vs-rory-debate-with-telling-annie-detail\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Sterling Point creator finally settles the Ellis vs Rory debate with telling Annie detail","url":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/08\/19\/sterling-point-creator-finally-settles-ellis-vs-rory-debate-with-telling-annie-detail\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/08\/19\/sterling-point-creator-finally-settles-ellis-vs-rory-debate-with-telling-annie-detail\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2-12-150x150.jpg","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2-12.jpg"},"articleSection":"News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daisy Phillipson"}],"creator":["Daisy Phillipson"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Film Shrine","logo":"https:\/\/cdn.filmshrine.com\/uploads\/2026\/04\/cropped-The-Tab_Film-Shrine_Favicon.png"},"keywords":["now showing","prime video","sterling point","tv"],"dateCreated":"2026-08-19T14:42:25Z","datePublished":"2026-08-19T14:42:25Z","dateModified":"2026-08-19T14:42:25Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"wp-parsely-metadata\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"Sterling Point creator finally settles the Ellis vs Rory debate with telling Annie detail\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/08\\\/19\\\/sterling-point-creator-finally-settles-ellis-vs-rory-debate-with-telling-annie-detail\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/thetab.com\\\/filmshrine\\\/2026\\\/08\\\/19\\\/sterling-point-creator-finally-settles-ellis-vs-rory-debate-with-telling-annie-detail\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/08\\\/2-12-150x150.jpg\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/08\\\/2-12.jpg\"},\"articleSection\":\"News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Daisy Phillipson\"}],\"creator\":[\"Daisy Phillipson\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"Film Shrine\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/cdn.filmshrine.com\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/04\\\/cropped-The-Tab_Film-Shrine_Favicon.png\"},\"keywords\":[\"now showing\",\"prime video\",\"sterling point\",\"tv\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2026-08-19T14:42:25Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-08-19T14:42:25Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-08-19T14:42:25Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/filmshrine.com\/p.js"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7971","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7971"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7971\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7983,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7971\/revisions\/7983"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7971"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7971"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7971"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=7971"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
