" Finding Carter continues to be the show of the summer: kidnapping, family drama, and pretty teens playing Seven Minutes in Heaven\u2014what&amp;#039;s not to obsess over? While Carter&amp;#039;s adjustment to being returned to her birth family is still a focus of the show, its lens has widened to feature more characters, including Carter&amp;#039;s sister. Anna Jacoby-Heron plays Carter&amp;#039;s twin, Taylor, who spent years holding the family together while Carter was gone, and who&amp;#039;s using her sister&amp;#039;s return as an excuse to finally let loose. Anna dishes about animal doppelg\u00E4ngers, family dynamics, and co-star make outs.  There&amp;#039;s a huge evolution for Taylor, where she goes from her first kiss to a wild closet makeout to taking a boy home with her. Do you think Taylor&amp;#039;s in over her head right now or that she knows what she&amp;#039;s doing? She knows what she&amp;#039;s doing. She&amp;#039;s someone with a good head on her shoulders. I mean, they&amp;#039;re new experiences, and they&amp;#039;re wild for her, but she doesn&amp;#039;t go about them in a crazy way. She&amp;#039;s still who she is, she&amp;#039;s just experiencing all this new stuff and taking it as it comes. There&amp;#039;s this sort of weird love pentagon with Taylor at one point and every other boy on the show at the others. Let&amp;#039;s talk through those relationships: There&amp;#039;s Taylor and Crash, who she seems to mainly ignore. Yeah, they don&amp;#039;t really have much of a relationship. She&amp;#039;s not a fan of Crash, for pretty much the whole series. So then there&amp;#039;s Ofe\u2014how does Taylor feel about him? He is personally one of my favorite characters on the show. He&amp;#039;s the best. And I think they have a very sweet relationship. He&amp;#039;s her first kiss, and I think that was really sweet. He would be anyone&amp;#039;s perfect first kiss. If you have a first kiss with Ofe, you&amp;#039;ve totally done it right. They have a really good camaraderie and get along really well. They stay friends. And then there&amp;#039;s Gabe. It seems like at the outset of the season we were getting set up for a Gabe/Carter/Taylor love triangle, but we&amp;#039;re happy that&amp;#039;s not where the story&amp;#039;s gone, because that would&amp;#039;ve been so expected. Yeah, me too. Me too. Where do you think Taylor stands with Gabe in her own mind now? I think she kind of realizes, once she&amp;#039;s found Max and taken a liking to him, that her relationship with Gabe really is more of a friendship. He&amp;#039;s probably just one of the only guys she&amp;#039;d ever hung out with, and was just like, &amp;#039;Oh, I like him, because he&amp;#039;s around!&amp;#039;   Are you rooting for Taylor and Max?   Oh, totally. A hundred percent. To switch gears into family dynamics a little bit, do you think Elizabeth is a good mom? Yeah. I do. I think that she goes about some things the wrong way\u2014she could adjust some of her ways of parenting. We see her having Carter followed, for instance, which is pretty extreme. But she&amp;#039;s also a super extreme lady who&amp;#039;s dealt with horrible, horrible experiences and what she&amp;#039;s gotten out of that is being the person she is now. She&amp;#039;s been through Carter&amp;#039;s kidnapping and now she&amp;#039;s this super controlling, uptight woman, but she also loves her daughters and loves her family and wants the best for all of them. Any mom wouldn&amp;#039;t know what to do in certain situations. All moms sometimes do totally irrational things and then their kids freak out, but that&amp;#039;s just their way of coping with whatever they&amp;#039;ve been through. Elizabeth wants to be a good mom; she just might not be able to react well in certain situations. The scene where Carter says she feels like the elephant in the family of penguins and Grant says he&amp;#039;s the armadillo was really powerful. Do you think that Taylor feels like an animal in that family zoo, and what that animal might be? [Long pause.] The animal question. I&amp;#039;m sooo bad at the animal question. I&amp;#039;m trying to think of an animal that works for Taylor and I can never come up with one! I keep wanting to suggest &amp;quot;kangaroo,&amp;quot; but I don&amp;#039;t know why! I kind of like that! That kind of makes sense. Are you a fan of Finding Carter? What other new shows are you loving right now? Dish in the comments below!
