While After Everything continues to dominate headlines for its on-screen storylines, a different kind of drama is now taking over fan conversations — and it has nothing to do with Tessa and Hardin.
Instead, the spotlight has shifted to Louise Lombard, the actress behind Trish Daniels.
What started as quiet rumors has now grown into full-blown speculation about serious behind-the-scenes tension between Lombard and the production team. Sources close to the franchise claim the actress became increasingly frustrated with the direction of her character, especially as Trish’s role was gradually reduced and emotionally sidelined in later storylines.
According to leaked conversations circulating online, Lombard allegedly described the evolution of Trish Daniels as “emotionally hollow” — a character stripped of depth, agency, and narrative purpose. Fans were quick to connect the dots, pointing out how Trish went from being a complex, morally conflicted figure to a background presence with little emotional weight.
The fandom quickly fractured.
One side accuses the production of wasting a powerful supporting character and sidelining a strong female presence in favor of repetitive romantic drama.
The other side criticizes Lombard herself, claiming she’s stirring controversy at the worst possible time — just as the franchise is attempting to close its story.
Then came the moment that truly ignited the backlash.
Louise Lombard abruptly unfollowed multiple cast members and official franchise accounts on social media — a move fans instantly interpreted as a silent confirmation of internal conflict. No statements. No explanations. Just digital distance.
And in today’s fandom culture, silence speaks louder than words.
Neither Lombard nor the studio has released an official comment, but that absence of clarification has only intensified speculation. Theories now range from contract disputes, creative disagreements, to quiet exits being negotiated behind closed doors.
What makes this situation even more explosive is the timing.
After Everything is supposed to represent closure — the emotional end of a long-running, chaotic love story. Instead, the franchise now finds itself overshadowed by real-world tension that mirrors the very chaos it portrays on screen.
In a universe built on emotional volatility, betrayal, and unresolved conflict, it’s almost poetic — and unsettling — that the most dramatic storyline might not be in the script at all.
Because if these rumors are true, the biggest fracture in After Everything isn’t happening between characters.
It’s happening behind the cameras.
