"With all the shows about vampires and dragons out there, sometimes a girl just wants a good soapy drama with folks who don&amp;#x27;t have fangs. For me, that show is Betrayal. With some of the steamiest sex scenes I&amp;#x27;ve seen on a broadcast network in a long while, my only complaint is that Stuart Townsend and Hannah Ware&amp;#x27;s chemistry belongs on a movie screen, but even that may not be enough to contain it. In this Sunday&amp;#x27;s episode, the affair is finally revealed, so I hopped on a call with Stuart Townsend to talk about what&amp;#x27;s to come and whether his relationship with Sara can really survive when it&amp;#x27;s out in the open. Glamour:Right off the bat, you and Hannah Ware have ridiculous sexual chemistry. What&amp;#x27;s your off-screen relationship like? Stuart: We&amp;amp;#8217;re work buddies, like all of us. We all get along great. We don&amp;amp;#8217;t hang out much outside of work because we&amp;amp;#8217;re working 12 to 14 hours a day, but when we work together it&amp;amp;#8217;s really nice. Everybody gets on great, and that helps a lot. Hannah will tell a lot of jokes. Glamour: The affair is revealed on Sunday&amp;#x27;s episode. Can Jack and Sara still be together once everything is out in the open? Stuart: I think they can. I think the writers have been really clever on that. Episodes six and seven have been about the consequences from our illicit affair, but we are crazy in love with each other, so there&amp;amp;#8217;s a certain period we have to go through, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s not pretty. But they are in love with each other, and I think it&amp;amp;#8217;s going to continue, but that will create more drama too since it affects so many people. We&amp;amp;#8217;re in love, so we&amp;amp;#8217;re not going to end it just because. But the stakes do get higher later on. And now Elaine has to be careful around that wine guy that comes into the picture! [Laughs] Glamour: How did you find ways to relate to Jack? Stuart: One of my friends kind of had a Jack situation. He is a best buddy, and he called me first to say, &amp;quot;Stu, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t know what I&amp;amp;#8217;m doing here, but I&amp;amp;#8217;m about to do something really stupid...&amp;quot; so I kind of went through that with him, and I think what&amp;amp;#8217;s relatable about Jack is that a lot of us can relate to him in his life. My friend was married for 12, 13 years. I was the best man at his wedding. But they didn&amp;amp;#8217;t really hang out at the wedding! I kind of was going, &amp;quot;I really hope they last.&amp;quot; Then he met somebody else and his heart beat again. I saw what that did to him. Going through the affair was devastating, but he did it. It&amp;amp;#8217;s one of those interesting moments in life. As for Jack, he has made these choices early on that kind have hemmed him in in his later life. He&amp;amp;#8217;s got a nice job, a wife, kids, but inside he&amp;amp;#8217;s a little dead, and then he meets this woman and she stirs something up in him. In a way, I think his heart beats for the first time. I think a lot of people can relate to that. That&amp;amp;#8217;s not the way my life went, but that doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t mean I can&amp;amp;#8217;t relate to that idea&amp;amp;#8212;the older we get, the more our choices have effects in our daily life. That&amp;amp;#8217;s where I went with Jack. I do also love that he&amp;amp;#8217;s a compulsive liar because he&amp;amp;#8217;s always trying to smooth things over. He&amp;amp;#8217;s an orphan. Glamour: Do you think he was really in love with Elaine when he married her or was it a matter of work getting in the way and Jack getting too comfortable in the Karsten family? Stuart: I think he was just going along for the ride. He had this kind of shock of trauma of losing his parents and losing everything. This family took him in and became his family. I think he blocks things off on the inside after losing so much. Glamour: OK, how on earth do you have two teenage kids on this show? Stuart: Haha. Well, I&amp;amp;#8217;m 40. I&amp;amp;#8217;m almost 41. I could have been 23 or 24 when I had the first kid, very easily, and that&amp;amp;#8217;s the rational I went with. But yeah, it is a little strange! At the same time, I really enjoy the two kids that play my kids, and I really enjoy our scenes together&amp;amp;#8212;even though at some points I could go, &amp;quot;These guys really are too old!&amp;quot; [Laughs] But at the other end, I think the drama is great between us, and it&amp;amp;#8217;s a very authentic situation. Glamour: Chicago is one of my favorite cities. What are some of your must-visit places now that you&amp;#x27;ve been there for a while? Stuart: Avec definitely is our favorite restaurant. It&amp;amp;#8217;s so ridiculously delicious. But it&amp;amp;#8217;s tough because Chicago is the place to go shopping and a place to eat very, very well! I&amp;amp;#8217;m out all the time and will try everything, but Avec is my place. An all-new episode of Betrayal airs this Sunday night on ABC after Revenge. Seriously, you guys, don&amp;#x27;t miss it! Do you think Jack and Sara belong together, or should they try to repair their marriage with their respective spouses?
