They may not have been the fan favorite pairing on Hart of Dixie — but Rachel Bilson agrees that Zoe and George deserved their fair chance at romance. “I will say they did not really get their shot and it, they were supposed to!” Bilson, 42, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting her partnership with 21Seeds. “Wade came and swooped in, and I do feel like they could have had a little bit more time [with Zoe and George].
But it all worked out.” Bilson starred on The CW dramedy, which ran from 2011 to 2015, for four seasons. The show followed Bilson’s Zoe as she moved from New York City to the small town of Bluebell, Alabama, to work as a family doctor for a year after she’s offered a job by a stranger.
When she arrives, she discovers that the man is actually her biological father who has died and left her his half of the practice in his will. In addition to fighting to keep her father’s half of the practice intact by securing 50 percent of the clients, adjusting to small town life and figuring out her professional future, Zoe also finds herself in a seasons-long love triangle with the town lawyer, George ( Scott Porter ) and local bartender Wade ( Wilson Bethel ). Although — spoiler alert — George calls off his wedding to Lemon ( Jaime King ) for Zoe at the end of season 1, she ultimately chooses to hold off on their romance and date Wade, instead.
And although Zoe continuously planned to circle back around to George eventually, the twosome actually neve.
