Catch-Up Discussion: Xander Hale, Maximoff Hale, Farrow Keene, and "Marrow" Babies from Charming to Unlucky

The results are in for September, and holy tie, Batman! 😱 This was the first ever TIE vote, we believe, that there's ever been. The topics came down between a catch-up of Maximoff + Farrow and Babies vs. Xander, and both received the same number of votes. 

Instead of choosing between the two, we've decided to just combine them in one super awesome podcast! Since Maximoff and Xander are brothers, they're great characters to discuss in one podcast. Best of both worlds!! 

If you haven't read Unlucky Like Us yet, we highly suggest not scrolling through the comment section until you do! There will be spoiler land mines you'll want to avoid!!

Let us know in the comments if you have any questions about Xander, Maximoff, Farrow, and the "Marrow" Babies from Charming to Unlucky timeline that you'd like us to chat about!

I’m so excited for these topics! :) 𝐌𝐲 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: • Does Tom still call Moffy to ask for his advice on things (love-related or otherwise)? I know that Moffy has a lot going on in the current timeline (with his family expanding and all) — so maybe Tom would try to cut back on their chats — but I adore their relationship so I just wanted to ask! :) • In one of the Sip-in-Snow bonus scenes — when Xander and Kinney are discussing the Winter Formal — Xander warns Kinney about going to the dance with the senior, stating: “𝙔𝙤𝙪'𝙫𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡, 𝙆𝙞𝙣. 𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙖𝙨𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙤 𝙨𝙖𝙮 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙆𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙃𝙖𝙡𝙚”, but then the following school year he agrees to go to the Homecoming dance with Delilah when she asks him (even though he didn’t know her that well). Can you walk us through Xander’s decision to accept Delilah’s invitation and how his thought process changed within the time between the Sip-in-Snow bonus and MLU? • Building off of my previous question - in MLU Donnelly describes Easton as being Xander’s “second shield”. Was Easton wary of Delilah’s intentions at all when he heard that she asked Xander to Homecoming, or was Donnelly the only one that had suspicions about her being a bad apple?

dani

yayyy so excited to hear more about xander he’s one of my favs 😊

Minahil

So fun! How does Xander feel about being an uncle? We get a lot of Luna x Ripley scenes, but don't get to see Xander/Kinney as much!

a

can you talk more about the moment between donnelly and xander in ULU and the discussion they had about the blade. what made xander feel like he wanted to have it?

a

is Harriet Xanders love interest? pleasee say yess!

a

what would you say is the catalyst to xander deciding to try to get out of his shell and actively trying to not be afraid and go out more?

mills

Not a question, but how funny would it be for Cassidy to be very “ Cobalty” since she did come from Janes eggs. Imagine Farrow having a mini Charlie as a daughter and saying “big” words all the time 😭😭😭 probably not possible since she’ll grow amongst Hales, but it would be a good f*** you from the world towards Farrow since he’s on Team Hale lol. Love all the Hales, Meadows, and Cobalts btw!💕 KBR please give any remarks on this, I would love to hear y’all’s thoughts on it even though it would probably won’t happen!

Nicole E Tucker

I wanna know how you think Ripley will feel about getting a sister. I think he will love her and will be very protective of her.

Kayla Reynolds

Do you ever plan to write the babies’ birthday parties as scenes? I’ve been dying to know what they did to celebrate Ripley’s first birthday!

Michelle

How did Maximoff and Farrow choose their surrogate? A waitress! I was surprised by this. Bt dubs, I sure dig you two!

mills

Did you guys have other names picked out for the babies or was there always just one? If so, what were the other names?

Mary-Margaret Miller

Right? I get vibes from Xander, but... what about Elliott/Harriett?

mills

Yesss, I’ve low key been shipping Elliot and Harriet. They could be really good

a

i think Eliot already has a love interest, Winifred Rochester but idk of its confirmed

Minahil

same i thought she was his li!

inkandicarus

A double podcast, how fun! What type of music does Xander like to listen to? And does the music change depending on his moods?

mills

Low key ship Elliot with Harriet more 🫣no judgment please

sofia

-Who would you say between both Moffy and Farrow is the parent that’s more lenient? Like for example, if an older Ripley or Cassidy wanted to stay out late at a party (past their curfew) and they wanted to go to the parent that would succumb and say yes who would it be? 🤭 -In the “Kinney’s Secret is Revealed” bonus scene, Farrow mentioned being “slightly more nervous” about raising a girl which i thought was so interesting especially now that they have Cassidy 🥹 are his feelings still the same now that she‘s been born? Can you talk a little more about that.

Ash

Does Farrow’s dad/family have any relationship with the babies?

Nay

OKAY SO BEST OF BOTH WORLDS, GOT IT! How does Xander feel about being an uncle? We haven’t really seen a connection between him and the marrow babies so what are his thoughts on it?

Amy Wood

I have been waiting for a baby update! How did Moffy and Farrow decide they were ready for a baby? Will Moffy decide to donate sperm for another child?

Andrea

I want all the details on baby names/Marrow’s process on the surrogacy. How did Jane tell Thatcher she was pregnant? How is Ripley around the babies?

Joanna

I’m not sure if this was mentioned in the books- do the “fans” know who the surrogate is? And do they know Cassidy is a farrow/Jane biological kid? For Xander- you’ve mentioned before he would probably get a series all by himself since he doesn’t fit in with the girl squad or cobalt series, have you thought about how far back his timeline would start?

lex

do you have any tropes in mind for xanders future book/li? what about his relationship with the girl squad? we know him and kinney are close but how is his individual relationships with the other girls, like with nona with vada and with audrey?

Teresa

For Maximoff/Farrow and babies did you ladies ever consider naming baby Cassidy after Donnelly like Jane did? Was there a discussion on whose baby would be named after Donnelly, Jane or Farrow?

Teresa

I don't remember if it's been said but is Xander planning on going to college and if so what schools is he looking at?

Bussoloti's

Just to throw one more possibility out there (because the Harriet situation isn't confusing enough already hahaha), I kinda like her with Ben

Teresa

In the beggining of Unlucky like us after the boys save the hale women from being crushed by a book case. Xander presumed Luna was upset over her fics being leaked but Kinney knew it had to be about heart break and she told Xander his worst nightmare is the media not theirs. Do you think everything Kinney said to Xander hurt his feelings, is there apart of him that wants to fall in love or is that far away from his radar?Does Kinney regret what she said to Xander or does she think it's another way of giving him tough love?

Teresa

In the bonus scene with Vada riding Winona bike without permission the parents had different ideas on how to deal with it , for both scenarios where Farrow and Maximoff are Ryke and Daisy and then another scenario Willow and Garrison, what would they do if it was one of their children ?

Arrow

What kind of uncle is Xander? What types of activities does he do with Ripley and Cassidy?

Arrow

In ULU, it was pretty clear that Maximoff has become less impulsive and hot-tempered since becoming a parent. Has becoming a parent also changed Farrow?

Arrow

Is there anything about parenting that Maximoff and Farrow find difficult or worry about?

Angelina (Charlies version) ♟️

Can you talk more about Xanders feelings and obvious emotional journey when he found out Luna got kidnapped while he was mad at her and donnelly?

Lucia

Same! I like her a lot with Ben, all the comments she threw his way about the cobalts... I feel like she would be a good match for him as she wasn't falling into the Cobalt allure and could be good for Ben as he sometimes feels like an outsider. Also love the grumpyxsunshine couples.

Teresa

It was mentioned in Misfits that they told the public it was Jane's egg and Farrows sperm

booky

Out of all of his aunts and uncles shows and competitions which has gained Ripleys enthusiasm the most ?

booky

Has Xander become more willing to hang out with the younger girls ?

Ellieeeee

I’m so proud of him for not using it though 🥹

Ellieeeee

Yesssss! XARRIET ALL THE WAYYY

Ellieeeee

I have a feeling it’s Harriet 🤭 could be wrong thoooo

Sioned

If they decide to write her that way she’d be SOOO smart! Maximoff is really not a dull person 😂 and farrow and jane too are not dull one bit ;)

mills

Yessss, I also wonder what her facial features are! We all know Connor has those dominant blue eyes 😭

mills

Is Maximoff CEO at HMC philanthropies? I can’t remember and if he is, what have they been up to?

Teresa

1.When is Scottie supposed to be coming out of prison, I believe he was supposed to go on parole? And will he continue to be a problem for Marrow in Nobody like us or will he always be a threat ? 2.In unlucky Farrow made his feelings clear that he does not like Sean and hes worried about Donnelly opening back up to him. Donnelly hasnt talked to Sean in years until now, is it possible that the conversations Farrows had with Sean make him think there is nothing reedemable about him? If Sean and Bridgett were to stay sober would Maximoff and Farrow allow them to be in Ripleys life?

Teresa

I always imagined Xander would end up with someone more outgoing ,to help bring him out of his shell. I think I prefer her with Ben

Teresa

For future hypothetical babies for Maximoff and Farrow do you plan to use more eggs from the women of the family or just have a surrogate that uses there eggs.

Miranda

Will we get a bonus scene of chapter 1 in Unlucky in Xander & Moffy’s pov?

Miranda

What’s been Xander’s favorite moment with Ripley so far?

Miranda

After Luna’s amnesia does Xander wish he was closer to Luna?

Miranda

How many more kids do you think Marrow will have?

Izzy

Is the girl with the pink braids that appeared in ULU going to reappear at some point? "I can almost see Xander watching her—can’t see his expression behind the mask—but he’s faced in her direction for a long beat."

Miranda

What are Farrow & Maximoff’s favorite things to see the other do with Ripley?

Izzy

Has xander figured out what he's going to do when college comes around? Will he continue to live at home, go to the dorms, or will he move to a place with Easton?

Izzy

I thought the same thing, but I'm delulu so... he might have just thought she was pretty

mills

Mannnn whoever Xanders love interest is, is going to be one LUCKY GIRL. She better take care of our little Hale 😤

Ellieeeee

She certainly will be luckyyyy 🤭but I feel like the media and xanders fans will rip her to peicessss, whoever she is, his fans will be jealous

Sioned

😂😂😌

Lauren Norah

On what level of fame is baby Ripley at? Is there someone you could compare him based on the level of fame in the real world?

Izzy

Fans will definitely try to rip his li to shreds and I wonder how much thinking about it weighs on him

Sioned

If xander had to swap styles and personality with one of his cousins who would it be and why! (I love being able to asking roses hypotheticals!!) Ps it can’t be moffy 😉

Sioned

Does xander ever wonder why he’s considered the most beautiful? He doesn’t strike me as exponentially secure with himself and that could lean over into him maybe not being the most confident with his looks so does he ever question what people/media see in his appearance? Or does he know that he’s a handsome boy 😂😉

Sioned

If maximoff is a mixture of loren, connor, ans ‘daddy’ ryke (you MUST remember that podcast 😂) Who is xander a mixture off? (Out of the guys in his life.)

Sioned

In what ways do you think xander hurts the people around him? For moffy you could say for Charlie it would be him being too responsible. For loren it would be moffy trying to ‘need’ his parents less. Obviously he never set out to do that but we all unknowingly hurt people we love so how does xander do that?

Sioned

In what areas of xanders life has he really really improved on? Does he now keep a tidier room lol 😂 or is he like his aunt daisy :)

Theblues2

1. You probably can’t answer, but what is Xanders view on finding love/dating? He seems to be indifferent to the idea. 2. This dosen’t have a whole lot to do with this podcast topic but I was curious, obviously all the current S/O’s signed NDA’s because they were bodyguards first but would someone who’s in an actual relationship with the famous ones and not just a hookup have to sign one also?

Sarah

Is pink hair gonna be Xander’s LI or Ben’s or is one destined for Harriett?

Izzy

Is Kinney afraid that with Xander going to college they might grow apart?

Teresa

I always imagined Xander would end up with someone outgoing to help him break out of his shell. I know it's to soon to confirm his or any of the younger kids love interests but can you tell us one thing about his love interest whether it be hair color, last name , ethicity, a personality even an eye color 😄

lex

this is a good one! especially after she’s seen how ben and winona have grown apart

Sioned

In a world where xander struggled with charlies ‘demons’ how do you think he’d try to ‘solve’ it?

Sioned

Describe xanders style and how it’s changed over the years! Has he been influenced by eastons style and family? In what ways do you both think he could improve 😉😂(his style)

Sioned

Could you possibly tease on what you’re most excited to write when in his head? Like for instance just his commentary on random past events or maybe his humour or the way he describes his family?

Yasti

Is Xander's only friend Easton (aside from his siblings and cousins), or does he have some casual school friends as well?

sin

will we be getting more hmc philanthropies kind of stuff soon ? i miss ceo maximoff

sin

does moffy talk to oscar or donnelly like a friend would ? or are they still at the same kind of place they’ve been in since llu where maximoff is kind of flustered whenever they rib him?

sin

do marrow have little date nights out of the penthouse where maybe they drop rip off at his grandparents house (or maybe even leaving him with luna) and take a night for themselves? this idea is so cute to me

sin

loveee the meanings behind marrow’s kids names so far. with both cass and rip being named after ripley’s own mom and now farrow’s mom, do you think they would maybe name their next kid (if it’s a girl) lily or maybe something related to her? 🙁 it’s such a cute idea and i feel like marrow would love it since they both adore lily

sin

krista and becca, my sisters in Christ, when are you gonna move marrow and their little family out of this penthouse? there is so much going on in that place it gives me a headache

a

would you ever think about writing a book from ripley, maeve and cassidy POV?🤣❤️ like another spinoff

Lauren Kay

what is one thing about moffy that farrow has fallen more in love with since they got married? and vice versa :)

Lauren Kay

how does moffy feel about farrow’s new hair in ulu??? 🥰🥰

Lauren Kay

there has been a lot of big near death experiences in the past few books so what has it been like for farrow to be working in a hospital a lot more and treating people that he loves? also side question but how come he is able to work in philly general … if i remember correctly in alphas like us one of the consequences of farrow not finishing his residency was that he could not work in the hospital?

Lauren Kay

what is farrow’s favorite song at the moment? i started listening to 90s rock because i just reread marrow’s books and i love it :)

Lauren Kay

how is moffy doing in the aftermath of lily and luna being assaulted? the bonus scene from his pov WRECKED me and made me love him even more than i already do … seeing him have to hold himself together for ripley was so heartbreaking and powerful. how is farrow helping him through this?

Lauren Kay

what’s one really really really happy moment that moffy and farrow have experienced recently? i love them to pieces 🥹🥹

Bussoloti's

Will we learn more about the fallout of the rumor that Delilah Avalon spread about sleeping with Xander? Like, did the kids at School asked about It to Xander? Were Xander and Delilah treated differently? Did Xander talked to Delilah after the prom?

Bussoloti's

What did Maximoff and Farrow thoght when they discovered that Gabe was dating Millie Kay?

Bussoloti's

Easton's parents seem to be very stric. How do they feel about Easton's friendship with Xander? Do they think that Xander is a bad influence? Are they bothered with how famous he is? Or are they indifferent about It? Maybe even happy that their son has a good friend?

Bussoloti's

How is Xander doing at school grade wise? Which subject is he the best at?

Bussoloti's

How the whole easton needing meds ended? Did he get help or got better somehow, or does he still need then but don't have access anymore?

Bussoloti's

Did Easton's parents ever met Lily and Lo?

Bussoloti's

Will Cassidy and Ripley share a room? Or maybe Cassidy and Meave will eventualy share a room?

Bussoloti's

Did the media actually found out about the rumor that Delilah made up about Xander and her?

Teresa

1. In the end of Unlucky like us when Ripley gets pushed over by the dog. Ripley says all good papa but was he talking to Farrow or Maximoff. 2. Does there puppy do that ,knock over Ripley when it gets to excited?

Teresa

In regards to personality and impressions who would you say Ripley takes after the most when it comes to his parents?

Safiyyah R

When is comes to farrows salary + the babies’s bodyguards, who pays that salary, would it be maximoff?

Teresa

What does a day with Grandpop Loren and Ripley look like?

heidi0331

how does farrow’s dad officially meet ripley and what is his reaction to their daughter being named cassidy?

heidi0331

as a newborn, ripley definitely preferred being held by maximoff. does cassidy have a preference too? if so, who?

heidi0331

tell us more about cassidy’s features and temperament. does she have farrow’s “iconic” smile? is she more laid back or curious?

heidi0331

how has moffy and farrow’s relationship changed with the addition of a second child? how has ripley adjusted to being a big brother?

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Thank you all for the wonderful questions about Xander, Marrow, and the Marrow Babies!! We can't wait to record this podcast! We're prepping it now, so any questions after this comment won't make it "on-air". xoxo

Priyadarsini R.K

Is Xander interested in college? If so what would he opt for?
