In a show about time travel, two friends hold down the center of the universe.
“The Time Traveler’s Wife,” which premiered Sunday on HBO, revolves around one couple, Henry (Theo James) and Clare (Rose Leslie), as the former is torn from time at the drop of the hat and the latter is left standing there, waiting for him to come home. Leslie calls Clare Henry’s “anchor.” That leaves her best friend Charisse (Natasha Lopez) and Charisse’s boyfriend Gomez (Desmin Borges), who eventually becomes Henry’s best friend, to keep Clare in her own reality.
“They’re ride or die, whether it’s the main love interest or Claire and Gomez or Claire and Charisse. The main thing that really connects us is how much we love each other,” Lopez told the Daily News.
